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

Help please! In random generated maps I am regularly getting a weird error. Often times _right_ after a quest is finished, sometimes when just moving from one place to another. For example, right after making the hammer during the intro quest, I got the following on repeat:

(In red) NullReferenceException: A null value was found where an object instance was required

Every so often there was a white line, but it goes by too quickly for me to even read it. I've tried tab, esc, and even F1, but it always returns. I can type into the "window?" it pops up, but I have no idea what I should be typing.

In order to do anything I have to hit esc twice very quickly and then leave the game.

Thank you,

Hi Guys,
How can i change the bloodmoon to occure every night?

Thanks in advance.
You'd have to edit one of the XML files to allow it as an option.

I'm gonna be tweaking that though so folks have a few more bloodmoon options.

That means you got screwed by RWG and your map spawned with 0 traders.

So you need a new map. I have no idea WHY it's doing it because I set every single trader POI to min_count=1 so there should be at least 5.... but apparently not.

 
Thanks for the quick reply. Would force spawning in a trader stop it? Like doing so before you really even started the quests?

I do think it happened at least once when I finished a different quest, after the hammer. But I've started and stopped so many games in the last two weeks I'm all confused. :-)

I thought I had replied to this. Must've clicked the wrong button. Whoops. :)

It might fix it. If you spawn a trader from the F6 menu, make sure From Biome Spawner is checked. That way it'll stick around.

You can also edit prefabs.xml in your world folder to manually add a trader or two, but you'd need to restart the save so the world regenerates.

 
Is there a way to make titanium bars that are not centered? The only kind I've found outside of the creative menu have been the centered kind.

Thanks!

Not in the curent version.

Just fixed that in version 2.1. Stainless Steel also got added back and the upgrade path is now...

Steel -> Stainless Steel -> Titanium.

So there's roughly 48 titanium block shapes + the 2 bars. :)

 
It looks like even more zombies in config sometimes make them stop coming so i was running outside fort like you said @KhaineGB and found another problem. I was pretty sure that i could survive so i moved a bit far from fort and when i came back i noticed zombies started spawning inside it near my claim block... When i was far away i noticed them spawning almost on my fort wall, didn't expect them to spawn even inside.

Any idea how to make them do not spawn inside my trader fort?

Also i found another AI bug, DF Night Stalker is like hornet completly ignored by NPC AI.

Question about skill progression.

I can't seem to find the skills to unlock cement mixer and crossbow, just to name a few. Which skills would I need and is it locked behind a class and if so which one?

Stuff spawning inside claim blocks/bed rolls has been a problem since A16. The trader just seems to make it worse... so not much I can do about that.

I'm aware the night stalker is also ignored by the AI. As mentioned, I'm currently re-doing the guard AI. :) Though it did crash the game when I added the night stalker to their targetting.... so there's that.

Cement Mixer is Advanced Engineering 3, not class-locked.... or Hammer & Forge 4, which is Laborer class.

Crossbow is the Bow Weapons perk, level 1, not class locked and can be unlocked with a schematic if you don't want to spend the points. Pretty sure it's the schematic that looks like a compound bow. :)

 
Apparently I am dumb and the crafting skills and base skills I never tried scrolling down xd.

Thanks for pointing that out though

 
Hello,

Great mod, loving it, just having one issue. I'm the Labourer class and I've made titanium frames but when I place them I can't upgrade them. I have over a thousand titanium ingots in my inventory and it still doesn't work. Is there a second ingredient I need?

I think you need a titanium hammer to upgrade titanium structures.-

My problem is that I can not collect sap from the trees. I use a bottle and left / right click and it does not work.

It's a bug or I need some specific perk

Thanks

 
@Dark33 i think you need to craft bowl? to get sap, something other than water bottle.

@KhaineGB Probably found secret you left? or something that should not generate in world, i'm trying to scrap everything and i found on roof (tier 2 mission) near tent with radiation suit zombies something that changed after wrench hit into "Test Weapon Loot" full of guns and weapons.

I wanted to take something but i had feeling i would be cheating, is it bug or it supposed to be here? i have no idea if i should take some guns from it :/

I found the problem

I have the BIOME OVERHAULS pack of the HDHQ Overhaul MOD installed.

If I remove the biome overhauls I can collect sap from the trees.

Works with bottles and bowls

Thanks

Dark was correct. Titanium hammer needed.

Frames will be going away soon though, so you'll just be making solid blocks instead. Lets me add WAY more shapes... like I'm up to 47 right now. :)

More compo pack nonsense.

So I didn't add it. Someone did for the compo pack. I hate this nonsense.

That'll do it. :)

 
Sooooo... I found it.
But it only works properly with DM mode on.
Any chance you could tell us where to find this? what file, which commented section? :)

(back on page 81-82, talking about the target bar)

 
Code:
<window_group name="compass" actionSet="false">
<window name="windowCompass" />
<!--<window name="windowTargetBar" anchor="CenterTop" />-->
</window_group>
Data/Config/XUi/XUi.xml.

It's windowTargetBar. Just remember it ONLY works in DM mode for vanilla or any mod that isn't Darkness Falls. DF has a DLL patch so it works without DM mode.
