And how offended I am! Stompy, where is cooperative PVP videos with Guppycur, Anabelle and other?

"Cooperative PVP" may be an overstatement from Guppycur's and Anabella's view point, as I don't believe they knew what was going to happen

Update time!

Clients will auto-get it, while servers will need an update.

- Updated blackSanta's animations

- Large cities and large towns were reduced for a smoother experience exploring

- New edition available! WinterProject-NoNightmares is available in the Mod Launcher; it removes the spawning of the Nightmares, and re-distrubtes their loot

Now will not lag?

Lag is unaffected

No worries about that; it's not going anywhere, regardless of which Winter Project edition you choose.

So all I would need to do is to connect to internet, open the launcher and select play and it will auto update for me, yes?

That's correct! Play with update, if you have Refresh Mods Automatically set (which is default )

- - - Updated - - -

** UPDATE **

Fix an issue where the zombies all became lazy and wouldn't move. Server's mods.dll will need updated.

Clients already have the fix.

Thanks again sphereii, Happy Holidays!

Any idea why I would be getting a "NullReferenceException" error in every world I create? I am using the launcher... have even downloaded a new copy of the game fresh from Steam.

Am fine for about 30 seconds and then I just get a stream of error messages :/

Would you be able to post the full log? In the mod launcher, click on View then Log Files. Select the output_log.txt then click on upload log file.

Thank you very much, and sorry about the bother. Could you re-sync with the launcher and try again?

Arondite · Dec 23, 2017

No bother at all

Thanks for such a speedy reply... trying now... will let you know

Lasted a lot longer this time ..... but error happened again. May have been a coincidence but it happened when I looked at a Deer through the gun sights.

Getting an error when I try to upload the log from the launcher saying the "Unhandled exception error". Have pasted it inot a text file but that is 1.6Mb so wont upload and it wont let me upload a .rar file. (I think technology hates me today)

Dont know if this is what you are after but the errors seem to come after these lines:

d3d: failed to create 2D texture id=1587 w=1 h=1 mips=1 d3dfmt=894720068 [invalid call]

d3d: failed to create 2D texture id=1591 w=1 h=1 mips=1 d3dfmt=894720068 [invalid call]

d3d: failed to create 2D texture id=1585 w=1 h=1 mips=1 d3dfmt=894720068 [invalid call]

(Filename: Line: 401)

Default clip could not be found in attached animations list.

If the launcher is giving you an error, it could be because 7daystodie.exe is still running. You can check in Task Manager

You could try to bring down the console and type in "dm" (without quotes), and "killall" and see if it kills off the bad entity.

Will give that a go... cheers muchly

Arondite · Dec 23, 2017

Doing the "killall" allowed me back in... it killed 1 x blacksanta and 2 x zombie snow (don't know if that helps any) ... will keep my eye on it.

Few more bugs

Got the same issue with nullref:

Code:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
 at AnimationSDX.HasValidAnimation (System.String strAnimation) [0x00000] in &lt;filename unknown&gt;:0
 at AnimationSDX.HasValidAnimationAndEnabled (System.String strAnimation) [0x00000] in &lt;filename unknown&gt;:0
 at AnimationSDX.Update () [0x00000] in &lt;filename unknown&gt;:0

Was able to exit the game and load it again, same problem. Before killall'ing everything did 'le' - there was only wolf and BlackStantaX. Killall killed those 2 and nullref errors stopped. Looking at the complete log I could see this:

Code:

SDX: Could not find bundle named 'BlackSantaX'
2017-12-24T10:25:01 35.874 ERR Could not load file 'Entities/#BlackSantaX?BlackSanta_X'

Few more things:

- The bunker house is not snow covered.

- One of the open parking places is only 1 block under snow.

- Might want to change stack size of bottled water to at least 250. Since I can't make murky water in a camp fire it makes it difficult to mass-produce glue.

- Some houses are floating in the air. Where it looks like should be snow it "melted". Had snow "melt" when I covered top side with some blocks.

- Water towers and outdoor pools still have water.

Regardless of these small issues, still loving the mod! Awesome job! Now with more mobility on a minibike can really appreciate how things look different, especially at night.

Today, my friends, we have gathered together to mourn the loss of our beloved blackSanta. He broke new ground in terms of combining an entity with another entity (zombie with a hat), and with its unique animations, he has endeared himself in the hearts and minds of all. But with all things, he came to his natural conclusion in life.

We hope and pray that his family will continue to honour his memory by pushing the boundaries and continuing his ground breaking research.

* Update - Removed blackSanta from the spawning Group.

Thank you for your feed back. Those are all great points. I'm not sure why some of the POIs have different offsets. We were going to change the water to ice, but it was inconsistent behaviour at best.

I'm glad you are enjoying the mod

Thanks for this Mod. I made a Christmas Video using it. (that's what it's for, right? :smile-new: )
