Magolis Compo Pack by The Compopack

[stallionsden]

Myself and Bluefang support have tried it everywhich way we can.  The RWGmixer.xml that comes with the modlet is broken and will not allow a world to be generated with the Compopack. 

Hi tahoenvy

Works for everyone else. Testers inc 

What version are you using.

Any mods or overhauls

Do you have an output.log. did you change anything in the modlet 

Did you start a new server fresh install and wiped 

Did you put it in your client side mods folder as well...

 

[Tahoenvy]

Are you supposed to copy and paste the RWGmixer info from yours into the original RWGmixer prior to installing because your RWG only shows Prefab information, nothing else about where to load in the world  Here was my process

I downloaded the Modlet, unpacked the Prefabs into the Prefab folder on my server

pulled the RWGMixer out of the Config folder and over wrote the RWGmixer on the server, then tried to load my world.  Would not launch.

Yes we loaded client side, no I didn't change anything else, yes it was a fresh install (this is on Bluefang servers.  

I opened your RWGmixer and noticed all it has in it are the Prefab names, nothing else.    I've attached the one that came with the download

View attachment rwgmixer.xml

I just went back and read your instructions for the modlet and it says just to drop the folder into the mods folder.  Is that how it works for a Server also?  I've never done that in the past, we had to actually unpack and overwrite the originals.

2. Simply then open the COMPOPACK A19 CP47 (RWG MODLET) folder and Drag the COMPOPACK A19 CP46 folder inside original folder into Mods folder (steam/steamapps/common/7 days to die/Mods)

Question? Downloaded Nitrogen, ran a map, entered the game but no prefab at all are showing? Not sure what to do.

It is a modlet. You put it in the mods folder then run game. The xmls state where they spawn. 

Yes for a server as well it requires a Mods folder and you add the modlet to the mods folder client side and server side.

Hi Deacon of Undead

Did you add the 3 txt files to the nitrogen resource folder.  Did you select in the nitrogen prefab list  option - cp47 prefablist. 

Did you open the dl prefab folder select all and drag into the games prefab folder.

Hi! I'm using the modlet, and I've noticed that certain POIs seems to be spawning a lot more than they should, while others haven't spawned more than once over multiple world gens, or even none at all. For example, I frequently find the Apaxco prefab by Gouki 2-3 times per city, often within a block of each other, while an entire world may have one Book Stop prefab, if I'm lucky. The Hub51 multi-trader by War3zuk shows up all over the wilderness, 6 or more per world, but I haven't seen any of the other multi-traders, and checking world prefab files shows they haven't been generated in any of the 5 worlds I've made with this version of the compopack. I like HUB51, but some variety would be nice.  Similarly, I've found two instances of the Minimall prefab by Spider literally right next to each other in the same block, while other prefabs I like I'll be lucky to find even once. Is there some way I can change probabilities? I've tinkered with the modlet's rwgmixer file a bit to test things since noticing the lopsidedness, but it doesn't seem to make much difference. I noticed there's a note that says "uncomment prefablist if you wish more POIs to spawn," but I'm not sure where the referenced commented section is?

Any help you can give would be appreciated!

Hi @Canaa

First you can comment out the section in the rwgmixer under prefablist or simply delete. Leaving the 4k section and 8k section. 

Then when you spawn in a 4k or 8k world the prefabs are not also added thru the game as well so you would be getting double ups. I did forget to comment it out lol.

Thanks @stallionsden! Your advice took care of the multitude of repeats, which left room for other things to spawn that hadn't been. Still not sure why the game was prioritizing certain things over others and just repeating them all the time, but whatever, this works!

That is great to hear .

Yeh i have the prefablist section in there for those whom want lots of pois regardless of how many of each. But yeh i did mean to comment it out lol.
will fix that now for any one whom dl it for the first time or will want to dl it again to have that bit removed.

As for why lol I had added a 0.05 to all prefabs in that section. I dont know why tho random is random even on repeat lol

UPDATE: CP 47 MODLET:

Commented out prefablist section in the rwgmixer in the modlet.  This causes many versions of a poi to spawn. Simply uncomment the <!-- at the start of the section and the --> at the end of the section to have many pois even if the same spawn.

Just tried a small NitroGen map with Compo Pack 47.  The city is deadly.  So many zombies on day one it was insane.  I was with two other people playing coop and they were giving up.  Is there a way to scale the zombie numbers?  I know many would love to fight or run away from hordes.  But when you spawn in the middle of the city, you are just out of luck.  One building had 20 zombie dogs run at you at ground level.  Bit much to try to kill.  Think it was the POI that had Welcome to Eden sign in front.

A city should be deadly tbh. If a z apocalypse happenned the cities would be filled...

Stay away from the big pois for starters.  

Level 1 should do smaller pois and quests from the trader whom will send you to pois for your game stage. 

Maybe spawn near a city or away from it also.

lol, that was a bad place to start, Eden Mall is a dungeon prefab. meant for hardcore players.

I don't know if this is a Nitrogen or a CompoPack question, so please bare (bear?) with me.  I'd like to know if there's a way to tell nitrogen that I want many of the POIs in the CompoPack to be placed in the map it generates.  For example, the 2nd to last map I generated had tons of the run down airport (one of my favorite POIs) but the most recent map I generated only had 1 of those POIs.  I guess I'd like the map to be generated with a uniform number of each of the POIs in the CompPack.

TIA

Hi @Alan Lau

in the nitrogen program you can try setting all the options in the pic supplied you can play around with and set max values (having a bigger world like 12k/14 k also gives more pois to spawn.


other then that it is a process of generating many maps and checking the world to see if it suits.

a sort of way is checking the prefabs.xml the game creates on world gen thru nitrogen to see what pois spawned.

Thank you appreciate the kind words. Magoli has done a wonderful job in keeping this pack going thru the many alpha releases. Also a credit to the many talented prefabbers out there whom have contributed.

Do you have winrar or what program are you using to open a rar file  

 

[cjstorrs]

I'm having an issue with the modlet also.  I've loaded it on my Bluefang dedicated server and it won't create a world with the RWGMixer.xml.

It just hangs and hangs.  It will NOT create a world. No problem loading with original RWGMixer but that doesn't work with the POI's.  I think Bluefang support is sick of me.

Hey if your still having this problem I figured it out on my end. The rwg was having problems generating the town with the prefab xcostum_Big_Zed(by_Gobarg_Mana). It should work If you open up the rwgmixer and then comment out every instance of: 


<prefab name="xcostum_Big_Zed(by_Gobarg_Mana)" prob="0.05"/>


Mine worked just fine after that!!

That was a typo on my end it has been fixed up now in the latest dl.

Yea I understand that.   Unfortunately at map start it spawned us in the city so it was just the luck of the draw.   I can see that Eden mall would be a tier 5 dungeon.  20 dogs on the ground floor seems excessive when they all can be triggers by one zombie.  Oh well,  I would have to try different maps since that coop spawn point basically means you have to try to sneak out of town just to start.  That is if you can find a path that doesn't have a ton of zombies on the outside of a POI.

The coop spawn in nitro is random spot. I spawn sometimes near a city, sometimes in the forest,. Just dont try the random roof spawn one haha lol. That one is funny as..
