I removed the inner barrier of a security van (the steel plating and boards, leaving only the HD frame), but I still cannot “see” across that “barrier.”

you should see over something if it do not have board (plating do not obscure vision) maybe you are outside and its dark inside?

Pageman:

What else Static NPC affects? There are locations that won’t spawn if I turn it off?

Yes. There is raider outposts and refugee centers that have NPCs inside. So if you turn off the NPC, the building is also likely to disappear.
NPC’’ are cool, they give you missions and telling world lore.

I modified a amour truck that came with a .50 gun installed in front of the windshields.
How do I get it to shoot?

It got ammo and I activate it in the control settings but it doesn’t seem to shoot.

Also,

Can I make my curtains and or doors installed in my truck open / close with the controls?

It works now, but initially it did not. Perhaps the visibility did not update immediately.

I had to walk in, and then back out (open and shut) the door to make it see through on my RV.

Found some marbles so I made a slingshot but for some reason I can’t shoot pressing the F button, checked everything but nothing happens, is this a bug from experimental or did i miss something? the same thing happens for bows.

How do I fix this? What setting controls this?

Arek_PL · 2016-03-12T13:23:08.000Z

minimap can be disabled by ctrl+n or shift+n (i do not know what keys toggle it) and layout of sidebar can be changed in options

The issue if the status bar is at the bottom

Dont look at me; I dont even know how you guys get the minimaps to begin with. I might be convinced to get one if it covers all I cant see; otherwise I can get enough out of the default hud.

It comes when you download the tiles version of the game instead of the console version. I usually download tiles just for the minimap then turn the tileset off to play in ASCII or use one of the stylized ASCII tilesets

Arek_PL · 2016-03-12T17:43:23.000Z

i play tiles for sounds, i do not like that minimap (i rarely use it) i just disable tiles and use ascii

Check options. Interface -> Sidebar style. It’s probably ‘Wider’ for you. Toggle it to ‘Narrow’.

too late, In my frustation I threw my marbles against a hulk and smashed me against a wall in a toxic sarcophage and set off the explosives, then i ragequit.
I’ll download next experimental tomorrow hoping the slingshot/bow bug is fixed.
