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

Mod updated and first post updated with the new link.

  • Changed skill points to 5 per level. Still lower than vanilla, but I felt 4 might be too slow. Feedback on that would be great.
  • Bandit's with guns are now rarer. All bandits are slower but have more HP. So you should hear the ones with melee weapons BEFORE they hit you. If they do hit you, then you have the speed advantage.
  • Rewarding the "Blank Class Paper" should now work. I had the quest set to reward it AFTER completion, rather than as part of the completion stage. Tested it for a few hours and found it occasionally didn't grant the item. That's now been changed so you get it before the quest finishes and this appears to work flawlessly.

Make sure you have inventory slots when completing quests. If your toolbar and bag are full, you won't get the rewards. Yes, that includes the class paper. :)

Going to sort out a github link later tonight. Never used this before so it may take a while.

 
Fantastic! Thank you :)

I can definitely turn it on in the Mod Launcher. I have the config created for it. I would recommend creating a Data/UMATextures/ folder, with at least one texture in it. This will save people from getting a red error on start up, and speed up their start up times after the first load.

Done! Thank you for the tip. :) I did originally plan to upload all of the textures, but I found out that increased the mod size to 1GB when I was transferring it between PC's here.

 
Ok, will look into the bandit spawning. They're being a bit of a pain right now, because I already lowered their probability once, and then lowered it even more for the gun ones. :)
When you get to the trader, you should get a class book in your inventory, so make sure you have room.

I had that after I did some testing today. Changing when it's rewarded seems to have flixed it, so thank you for telling me. :)

 
Main posted updated with a 45-slot BBM version. Minibike also had it's storage increased to 45 slots, and I increased the size of the container for the dropped player backpack so you won't lose items.

Minibike and backpack retain items if you log out and back in. I cannot guarantee a dropped backpack will, so get your stuff before you log out if you die!

 
This seems like a very awesome mod and I'd love to stream this as a first impressions video next Tuesday to help get the word out a bit :)

One question I have though - are the gun wielding bandits aimbots that can 1-shot kill you? I find them a little tricky in Starvation due to this and tend to just avoid their POIs but if they're overworld spawns in this mod it might be a bit of a problem for me, since I can't really see them until its too late due to sight impairment :)

Could they perhaps be reduced to spawning in a burnt or wasteland biome so at least we can avoid them if we want to? I'm all for melee ones spawning in other biomes, just those damn ranged sniper aimbot ones that don't really sit well with me :) But, if I gotta poke up with it I'll still try this anyway :D

I Think they are now better, yesterdays 1 stunned me, but i was hopping away and killed him. Only thing what don't is good that the famle bandits have male voices.

Btw.: I Was missing some Icons.

Fishing, And The NPC-Weapons / NPC-Ammo

Would Be Nice 60/72 Backpack and 3 Slot For the Forge

Adding new rwgmixer, and some other Prefabs to My Copy of your Mod ;)

They are a bit aim-bot ish. Thankfully the gun ones are now rare and the only ones that are a major problem are the ones with AK-47.

Right now, I believe they only spawn in the plains, burned biome and the wasteland_hub (so around 0,0)

There's no female voices in the assets for the bandits, so I figured male was better than nothing because it gives the player an audio cue that it's an enemy.

I never made icons for the NPC weapons because I figured it wouldn't matter. I'll poke the XML and call the currently existing ones later.

I'm not doing anything larger than 45 slot bags, because part of the experience is properly managing your inventory, not just looting everything in sight. But a bigger bag was definitely needed! (If someone else wants to mod in a larger bag, feel free! This was more a personal choice on my part)

Forge is 2 slot for a reason. ;) That reason is the Advanced Forge is 3 slot.

any issues with bandits/survivors that spawn near traders?

If you mean the NRE spam, then unfortunately yes. That's next on my list to look into. I'm gonna poke the trader prefab XML's and see if I can fix it through that.

Just checked. The fishing stuff all has icons for me (except for a food item that I haven't enabled yet). I'll double check the mods folder on github and ensure they're uploaded.

Mod updated!

  • Descriptions added for Fish, Fish Pie and Grilled Fish.
  • Icons added for NPC weapons and ammo, so they properly show up in the creative menu (No new icons, just using existing ones so it's a pure XML edit)

I'm going to look into the trader thing next. I think it's either the "Teleport" thing trying to trigger that's causing the problem, or the trader protection that's the issue. Either way, I'm going to play around with it locally and see if I can sort something out. I know it's an issue on WotW too.

 
Regarding the trader issue, I've had a bit of a poke around the XML.

Basically, if the class is set to either EntitySurvivor or EntityBandit, then NRE's spawn when either survivors or bandits get near the trader. If I set that to EntityPlayer, the errors stop but the NPC's also don't move or spawn loot... and the chat box gets spammed with "player has died" messages. If I set it to EntityZombie, then the NPC's move and attack, but cause NRE's when you try to loot the corpse and they won't use weapons.

It stops the trader issue though.

Right now, there's 2 options. Either deal with the NRE's and I'll see about adding the anti-NRE console spam mod to the BBM version (can't add it to the EAC version because it uses SDX), or remove traders and spawn a vending machine in the POI that fulfills the same purpose. This would stop the errors AND allow folks to still buy stuff.

 
Looks like the bigger backpack have a problem with the last 2 rows. When i loot houses or stuff, i can't click R too get all and close the item automaticlly, can ya look into it ?

I'll look into the backpack issue tonight. I was planning to stream the mod anyways so I can look for bugs, and that way I have video footage to look back on. :)
