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

Some new zombies, some "end game" areas where you can start the process of trying to build laser weapons, rebalanced the classes a bit, some extra titanium shapes for building, new UI (toolbar and compass for now, more later), reduced auger sounds, better optimized UMA textures for less CPU/GPU/RAM usage...
I think that's most of it. :)

EDIT: Oh! Got rid of the plains and pine forest biomes to start getting used to A17 (plains was rolled into desert, pine_forest rolled into normal forest)

If this is on 1.8, you may have taken a second class that has given you a +level to your tool crafting skill when you're level is too low to take the next level.

Construction currently gives +2 levels to tool crafting in 1.8.

Join the discord.

I literally throw up the link for anyone daft enough/brave enough to do it :) The only reason I do it there and not here is because I don't want to spam the forum.

Though I did make the Big Forge 4 slot. Just forgot to take an updated screenshot.

I think Khaine just called me "Daft" for testing out 1.8 (which is awesome, by the way). I've I wasn't so dumb, I might understand what the term "daft" actually means. Hopefully means Handsome, Talented and Tall. Guessing not.

Absolutely join us on Discord. I've tried to test out the wasteland and new stuff... it is awesome (scary, but awesome). Though, I think there is something to be said for finding out all the great stuff "live" when doing a real playthrough. I'm going to hate going back to the beginning and not playing with my laser rifle and repeating cross bow.

???LASER RIFLE??? Ok I really have got to try this...considering its to be released today or tomorrow though may wait for the "LIVE" version so I dont need to wipe.

Hope it comes out sooner rather than later so I have something for the weekend.

 
I have to say, the Fun Pimps have a lot to live up to with the next alpha.... between darkness falls, ravenhearst and war of the walkers I could stay in THIS alpha for another year and be fine! Although I'm looking forward to the jeep, gyrocopter, etc, I bet with more time you guys could make better vehicles (you could prolly fix the pathing before them too lol)

 
V1.8 is out, live and on GitHub!

Patch notes.

  • New menu music and background!
  • New UI added and tweaked so it should work on 16:9 and 16:10 resolutions.
  • Pine Forest and Plains biomes removed. Pine forest merged into Maple Forest, Plains merged into Desert.
  • Blueberries removed from Maple Forest. Now only found in snow biomes, but higher spawn chance (in theory).
  • Wasteland increased in size. Starts at 4000, then wasteland_hub starts at 3000.
  • Wasteland decoration changed. It's now snow ground (does not give snowballs) for more of a "nuclear wasteland" feel.
  • Zombie spawns increased due to survivors killing them all. Military NPC spawn decreased because the wasteland sounded like a warzone.
  • Loot.xml edited so containers SHOULD always contain something (in most cases, destroyed workstations are the exception).
  • Trader.xml edited to remove nailgun from normal traders. Caitlin still has it.
  • Caitlin edited to ONLY spawn in wasteland_hub so it's more dangerous to get to her.
  • Dead area's increased on cities to help with lag.
  • Future Tech perk added! Good luck getting it.
  • Uranium ore added! Underground in desert and burnt forest. Above ground in Wasteland.
  • Plutonium added! Only found when digging up radiated ground.
  • New workbench added! Good luck getting it.
  • Fusion forge added! Good luck getting it.
  • All-in-one-Tool added! Tough to get but basically a super-wrench that can upgrade to titanium!
  • Laser Pistol, Laser Rifle and Laser Sword added!
  • Extra Compo Pack POI's added!
  • 2 new POI's added. You can find them in the Burnt Forest and Wasteland.
  • Classes reworked for balance reasons.
  • Female bandit voice updated with voice lines from my friend.
  • Some zombies are unaffected by slow down from spikes and shotguns, so have fun!
  • New(ish) zombies! The Frostbitten Hunter has made a return, and two zombie scientists have been added.
  • Original Behemoth added! The other male behemoth is now the radiated version.
  • Double Drawbridge added.
  • Extra titanium blocks added (rounded, wedge and wedge tip).
  • Builder quests added to the trader captain.
  • Vanilla quests heavily edited so they're more fun.
  • 2 new perks added, which can only be learned via books! Books are rare but can be purchased from the trader.
  • Auger sounds reduced so you don't go deaf anymore.
  • Crafting perks have altered level requirements. 1-4 have no level requirement, 5+ now goes 30/60/90/120/150. This means players can now get Iron Tools at level 30 (was 50) and Steel at 90 (was 100). Titanium is still 150.
  • Lockable storage cabinet space increased to 120 slots.
  • Insecure versions of cabinets added for single-player (doesn't use a padlock).
  • Lockable and Insecure craftable fridges added (also 120 Lockable (and insecure) versions of the Gun Safe and Munitions box added for player crafting! 120 slot storage.
  • Metal walkways added! Same model as metal catwalks, except craftable AND you can pick them back up. Good for building/painting huge structures.
  • Advanced Forge changed. Cannot be unlocked until level 90.
  • Big Forge added! You must buy the Forge perk a second time to get the recipe. Works like a normal forge, but has 3 slots.
  • UMA Textures reduced in size! No major difference graphically, but has increased load times and decreased RAM usage.

Known issues.

  • Builder quests on the trader do not show the block you need to gather. The subtitle tells you.
  • Trader gather quests have you gathering the same items twice. This is a workaround to stop folks turning in the quest and not losing items.
  • Vanilla quests may only tell you to kill one kind of zombie. Localization SHOULD tell you what zombies work. This is just a display issue.

Should be.

Basically if I say "It's on github" then it should be on the launcher because it points to the github file. :)

 
Good Day and Thank you KhaineGB,

Lovin the INTRO sounds .. alittle loud but good.

You didn't say start a New Game anywhere for sure .. BUT Thought it was a good idea with that big of an Update and Changes.

SO Far very well balanced .. making a starter base at poor Trader Bob's _ "Now Z's Bob once a trader". And Trader Rekt is just down the Road.

Both were with-in 400 meters of my starting point on my map and the seed looks like it might a good one so far.

Map seed if anyone needs one .. ** DarkenPath69DF ** (without the **) .. all one word. If you use it let me know how it works for you, thank you.

Keep up the great work and Hope all is going well _ Enjoy the weekend and Have Fun … the Old Gamer .. :02.47-tranquillity:

PS: Using Mod version from the Launcher .. Darkness Falls BBM

Ah, yes I should've stated that a restart is recommended due to the 2 new POI's I included and all the compo pack stuff, so that was my bad. :)

Kage also had the mod randomly delete his class quest when swapping from 1.7.5 to 1.8, which is a very odd bug.
