If you're doing it on a server, then don't forget the CLIENT also needs the icon files AND the localization files because the server does not push them.
It only pushes XML.

That would be the issue then. I totally forgot that the server doesn't push the icons. Thanks for the help in figuring it out.

No problem

I only remembered that because we had that problem testing the mod on our server and my wife was missing the icons.

I told my players to download the mod, so that should fix that, still unsure wtf is causing the lag...

Right now its closed (passworded) and pve till I get botman running, then mixed when I go public (n pvp/ s pve). Have a few people on from my discord trying it out. I'll be resetting time back to day one once I open it up.

Not sure on that one either. Kickz had it on his server and there were about 8 of us playing with no issues. (that was the BBM version)

Since I know Guppycur was lurking here, thought I'd post what I found out today.

<objective type="Goto" id="trader" value="5" /> is based off the filenames of POI's. It can be a partial filename or a complete filename, but capitilization matters.

So <objective type="Goto" id="installation_red_mesa" value="5" /> sends you to the red mesa POI.

I tested it with a couple of custom POI's I made and Haidrgna got it working with cabins.

Loving this Mod

Seriously man. Excellent work, and design. I just wrapped up a SP game at night 91, and I'm looking forward to throwing 1.6 up on my dedicated for friends. I think what really appeals to me about your mod is slowing down the progression. Gating perks behind levels is a good start, but I dig the tool requirements for the additional forges, and workbenches. It was around day 80 that I finally found a sewing kit (I had to cheat and look through the xml files to find where they spawn).

Also exploding dogs. :rapture:

Looking forward to 1.6!

Also, is there another way to buy you coffee? Old mistrustful here doesn't use paypal.

Question:

I have a workbench and for certain items it says I need a blowtorch but there is no blowtorch slot, what am I missing?

KhaineGB · Mar 30, 2018

You need a METAL workbench for a blowtorch.

You get the recipe for that and the tailoring one when you buy the Workbench perk. So you get all 3 at once.

Only other way I can think of is via bits on Twitch.

Pretty much any other method of payment is insecure, so I don't touch it.

KhaineGB · Mar 30, 2018

Like I said, you need a metal workbench.

Normal workbench = Hammer and Wrench.

Metal workbench = Calipers & Blowtorch.

Tailoring workbench = Sewing Kit & Tanning Rack.

All 3 are unlocked with a single purchase of the Workbench perk.

V1.6 update is now live and on the Launcher/GitHub!

Classes re-done! (see list below this for more info)
Larger player-crafted storage (kitchen cabinets).
LED Goggles and Mole Goggles now grant Nightvision.
New rebar shapes.
Day and time REMOVED from under the compass and on the map. Added to the trader window (under restock time).
Junction box added for invisible wires. Unlocked via electricity perk.
Less rad zombies during the day (hopefully!).
Less bomber zombies during the day (also hopefully!).
Bomber zombies had issue with the fire texture, so I changed it to make them more visible.
Slightly increased chance of behemoth spawn.
Behemoth slightly slower (same speed as a zombie bear) and slightly lower range (same as zombie bear)
Removed requirements from Scrap Tool Crafting.
Slightly increased XP required to level (player level, NOT skill levels).
Wandering hordes tweaked so you should get a little breathing room.
7 Day hordes re-done (less game stages so difficulty should ramp up faster and ferals appear sooner).
Writing Desk added (halves cost of creating class papers and skill books).
Ink and Quill Added.
Grass spawns reduced in most biomes (both forest, desert, snow, plains) so it's easier to see things on the ground and for better performance.
Iron and Spiked knuckles added! Levels the Unarmed skill.

Class info now follows. Each class now grants items and either perks or skill points, and has a "mastery" perk which can be purchased (for 30 skill points) or you can find a rare book out in the world.

Nanou5938 · Mar 30, 2018

Is possible to make the Day and Hour optional?

It's really hard for some to play without it

I would like that too, pretty please :tickled_pink:

Darkness Falls V 1.6 .. for the people who can not read small print:

For the first time, I will be STRONGLY RECOMMENDING a restart.

If you do not want to, there are books in the creative menu to give yourself any missing class perks, as they are required for learning the mastery

Just a Thought and Don't Complain if your game doesn't work.

And I just got done building a Floating base ... So be it

the Old Game .. :02.47-tranquillity:

Nanou5938 · Mar 30, 2018

It's not the question^^

KhaineGB · Mar 30, 2018

No it's not possible. It's either on or off because it's a UI element.

And, TBH, it's not that hard to play without it. You're literally given the location of a trader once you make a bedroll and an axe.

ANYTHING that shows the trader window will tell you the time and day (so vending machine or the trader themselves).

Also, the crickets in the ambient sound start playing around 7pm.

EDIT: If you absolutely MUST turn it back on (and trust me, you get used to it pretty quick), go to Data/Config/XUi/windows.xml and look for this.

Code:

	&lt;window name="windowCompass" style="compass.window" controller="CompassWindow"&gt;
	&lt;sprite style="compass.window.background.border"/&gt;
	&lt;sprite style="compass.window.background"/&gt;

	&lt;sprite style="compass.window.compass.background"&gt;


	&lt;/sprite&gt;
	&lt;texture style="compass.window.compass.texture" name="compassTexture" rect_size="0.25,1" rect_offset=".8,0" &gt;

	&lt;/texture&gt;
	&lt;!-- &lt;sprite pos="200,-60" sprite="" color="255,255,255,255" globalopacitymod="1.8"&gt;
		&lt;label depth="2" width="300" height="30" text="{daytitle}: {day|always}  {timetitle}: {time|always}" font_size="28" pivot="center" effect="outline" upper_case="true" justify="center"/&gt;
	&lt;/sprite&gt; --&gt;
&lt;/window&gt;

Just remove the  bits towards the end and it'll turn day/time back on. Code should look like this.

Code:

	&lt;window name="windowCompass" style="compass.window" controller="CompassWindow"&gt;
	&lt;sprite style="compass.window.background.border"/&gt;
	&lt;sprite style="compass.window.background"/&gt;

	&lt;sprite style="compass.window.compass.background"&gt;


	&lt;/sprite&gt;
	&lt;texture style="compass.window.compass.texture" name="compassTexture" rect_size="0.25,1" rect_offset=".8,0" &gt;

	&lt;/texture&gt;
	&lt;sprite pos="200,-60" sprite="" color="255,255,255,255" globalopacitymod="1.8"&gt;
		&lt;label depth="2" width="300" height="30" text="{daytitle}: {day|always}  {timetitle}: {time|always}" font_size="28" pivot="center" effect="outline" upper_case="true" justify="center"/&gt;
	&lt;/sprite&gt;
&lt;/window&gt;

But no, it's not an option I can make for people to turn off and on as they wish.
