Darkness Falls: They mostly come out at night...

Hi there,

I tried out a bit of Darkness Falls, gotta say, I am a fan! Thank you for some amazing work!
Now, we are looking to start a server for our group, because we cant rely on hosting on local machines.

Can anyone recommend a tutorial on how to do that and a hosting service which would support installing Darkness Falls?
I had a look on one service but I could not see any mention of Darkness Falls despite them saying that they support mods. Never did this before (cant you tell? :D) Thank you for any help or pointers.

Cheers!
As Khaine mentioned, Logic Servers is an option. I had a Darkness Falls server with them back in A18. Was easy to set up and only had to stop and restart (not reset) the server a few times. We maxed out at about 8-10 players on at any given time, we were pretty spread out.. and the server ran smoothly. If choosing them, i would recommend paying a couple bucks extra and getting a RAM upgrade. We did find out of the gate with the base RAM amount that it was a bit laggy the first couple of days before we payed for the upgrade. 

 
Is anyone else running into the issue of not seeing the White River Supply for the trader Eve "The Reward" quest?

Usually there's an icon for the White River supply's location, but there's none for me

That is a uncommon bug for all quests (that the "!" don't appear)

Just delete the quest and get it again from eve.

He is talking about the sign that shows where the courier satchel is located.

@Cherry Poppinz The bunker isn´t that big, You should be able to find the satchel without the icon, for me it usually was just standing around somewhere. Otherwise just cancelling the quest and doing it again should help i guess.

Alright folks, here it is. Darkness Falls V4.03A with compo pack included is now ready for everyone!

This update includes some required tweaks so the mod will now be compatible with XBox Game Pass versions of the game. Also, this version of the mod has been tested on both 20.4 and 20.5 experimental, so you can use whichever version of the game you wish.

Regarding save compatibility, I have tested it on my youtube save, and there was no issue going from 20.4 and V4.03, to 20.5 and V4.03A. A new save is still recommended, as per TFP guidelines, but you CAN get away with not doing it.

Darkness Falls V4.03A

- Added Krunch's 8k map and required POI's.
- CompoPack and required rwgmixer edits added.
- Khaine's version of the A19 Crack-A-Book tower added.
- Edited the small Crack-A-Book POI to swap to new bookshelves.
- Added new pre-generated maps that included the CompoPack. (they have CP at the end instead of NoCP)
- Scoutsmod updated to run from any folder, and compiled into the main DF DLL file.
- Scoutsmod now configurable via blocks.xml (info is at the bottom of the file).
- Darkness Falls XML updated to allow it to run from any folder (including the new mod folder).

Awesome, thanks Khaine!!

A couple quick qs:

  • do special underground farming seeds actually bring some advantages to the regular ones, e.g do they grow faster or something?
  • is there something that will only grow in the underground?
  • is there a cooking recipe which provides the generally accepted 'best food'?


thanks :)

They grow without sunlight, just the grow light is needed.

When you like to create a farm at bedrock depht.

If you just got your farm on the surface, the regular seed are fine, together with the irrigation system.

is there something that will only grow in the underground?
No, even the mushroom's grow under sunlight.

is there a cooking recipe which provides the generally accepted 'best food'?
Ofcouse, why do you think they are locked behind the last soue chef perk (or does it was even the master farmer, don't remember). They give 5 wellness and maybe some buffs.

So here's the thing... I may have destroyed the courier satchel with my shotgun. Every time I try to restart the quest with Eve the POI does not want to reset. I'm running out of ideas.  

 
Thanks for the latest version with compo pack included. I'm pretty new to DF, only found out about it a few months ago due to a streamer on YouTube. For players with hundreds of hours in the vanilla game (or even more) DF brings some fresh air back into the game. Now, with new POIs thanks to compo pack, it is even better. Just played my first hours with the latest version. First time compo pack for me and I absolutely love it.

Thanks a lot Khaine!

Normaly the quest would fail if the satchel get destroyed.

When the POI don't want to reset, you should restart the server or when you play SP goto the mainscreen.

I notice too that the zombie spawner don't work once you destroyed them until a world newstart.

 
I've just updated to A20.5 and DF 4.03A and I'm getting this error now when harvesting some plantfibers.

Well @%$#, that sucks haha. That's gonna screw everyone on my server then. Thanks for the info!!!

Note to self and everyone else. Don't destroy the spawner body bags

I believe you can grab it from creative and place it to allow the quest to work. At least that's what other people have said in discord.

Works fine for me. I suggest reinstall, and make sure it's CLEAN. No other mods. At all.

 
Hey, my game updated to A20.5(b2) and now I'm getting an error and weird interface glitch. I did a fresh reinstall but nothing changed.
