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

I'm macking some shoot, but the technological tree is "gray"...i'm lvl2 in speed, but the "hp perk and regen perk" don't work ( i use 2 shots )
I'm lvl 3 in tech skill
The screenshot didn't work. Maybe upload it to imgur or something like that? Then hopefully it'll work and I can see what hte problem is :)

So I'm playing 17.4. Ink now costs black dye, eggs, and honey. It says campfire or oven to make (oven is cheapest on mats). The oven doesn't give craft button for ink. As a side question, why is ink so hard to get now? It was a chore to get all the notes needed, but now we must rely on RNG for black dye as well as ink. This is stone-walling me atm. Mod has been great til this.

RNG ? Ink is craftable for black dye which is craftable from red, yellow and green dye.Green dye is made by bottled water and plant fiber => Easy

Yellow dye is made of blue and red dye.

Blue dye is made of snowberries and bottledwater => Easy

Red dye is made of tomatoes and bottledwater => little harder to find but not really hard either.

Then you go and make 4 green, 4 Blue, 8Red into 4 Yellow => 4 black.

This is made in the chemistry station

Then you need eggs (easy) and honey (harder) but buyable for dirt cheap at the trader (i always buy them just in case)

For scrapping notes, the best way i found was to buy books from the trader and scrap then. For 800 which is kinda cheap since it's like 2 weapons to sell.

Hope you have answers
I put these two quotes together because they relate to each other.

As FFW said, you can MAKE black dye, so you absolutely do not need to rely on RNG to find it in order to make ink.

However, in the latest experimental, I've re-done trader quest rewards so schematics and skill notes are now more likely, the trader is now likely to stock "crops"... so tomatos, and I changed the yellow dye to use goldenrod as someone in the discord kinda pointed out that was a thing and I'd forgotten. :D

So that should make it way easier to make black dye. Also don't forget you can get honey from tree stumps (destroy them) and hornets.

Had a strange issue with our advanced forge last night. You could see a flame underneath it and when you clicked on the forge you received an error that "The array is out of bounds" and you could not access the forge or its contents. Had to destroy the forge. Anyone come across this issue??
The particle effect thing is just an issue with non-vanilla models using the forge class. You can ignore that bit.

The error seems to only happen if folks are using modlets, because I've been unable to reproduce it on a completely unmodified version of the mod.

does anyone have conection issues ? i want to play with my friend but hes conection timeout sometimes he play without discord but it takes to long
I haven't. Does he have limited RAM? 16GB is really recommended for the mod. If he has 8GB, stick to using DFalls-Navezgane for your map.

 
Hi Khaine,

I have a question related to quests. I got a lot of quests in the same Poi. Are they fixed Poi quest or is it randomizable ? Is it your mod or vanilla ?

Also Crafting quests could be a thing ? Maybe ? Because since it's a crafting game i was wondering. Like you know... Craft 4 minibikes or some ♥♥♥♥ like this.

The quest system is basically vanilla. It searches for nearby POI's that are valid (based on tier and type of quest) and then just picks them. So yeah, that's a vanilla thing.

I actually want to do crafting quests but can't get it to work properly. It doesn't remove the items from the player.

i reupload the screenshot...the forum appair capricious.... :cocksure:

Aha. I see the issue.

You have Biological Boost perks unlocked.

You can only take the tech ones OR the bio ones. Not both. ;)

Throwing stupid ideas maybe but could you maybe reuse the old system of TFP ? The one where tools were breaking ? It used to destroy the item. maybe switch the quest item to the object class with the status destroyed (if that's even possible). Or for example you could make the crafted item into the same kind of object that the courrier satcheL ? I guess it would need another recipe though and that might be a problem.

Another idea could be... A mod you can insert of the object that makes it a quest item ? Something along those lines.

 
The problem is that fetch quests use this.

Code:
<objective type="FetchFromContainer">
<property name="phase" value="3" />
<property name="quest_item_ID" value="1" />
<property name="item_count" value="1" />
<property name="default_container" value="cntFetchQuestSatchel" />
</objective>
I'm still trying to work out what the hell quest_item_ID refers to because I can't find anything in the items.xml file.

Can't tell you. I know how to code but... for work. I never touched 7dtd modding. Could be that there's a quest item table which contains only the stachel and satchel is 1 ? Or it's hardcoded and your ♥♥♥♥ed but from what i gathered people are abble to touch almost everything in this game.

Don't you have a quest_item table somewhere ?

 
Nope. The container it's stored in is listed, but that container has an empty loot list.

Quests.xml doesn't seem to have a list and I'm having a right ballache finding it in the DLL file. Soooooo yeah. :D

What program to you use to open the dll ? And what folder. Can try to search. Don't think i'll find anything but you never know

EDIT : or yes... ask the dev. Much better idea XD (didn't saw the guppycur comment before posting :p )

 
Khain,

i hope you can help me. My game is doing this upon loading

error_7dtd.jpg

There was a panic healing with bandage and i think the error is from that. We relaunched the game and it's doing this immediatly. Is our game dead ?

I tried to eat glass but it's not even killing me

Maybe remove debuff command (but it's a normal game, didn't set the dedi for DF because it eats too much ram). But what debuff should i type ?

Yep, you're kinda screwed I'm afraid. On a dedi, you can just reboot the server and that clears the buff. Via steam, you can't.

Since I'm planing for V2.3 (2.21 got renamed) to be out on Monday, I'd either wait or I'd restart with the experimental build.... since the build going out on monday is basically exactly the same as the experimental.

When you say restart you mean restarting from level 1 from scratch ? Or will the 2.3 update correct my current game ?

Do you know the buff ID of AOEHEALING ? so i can try with console commands ?

 
It's one of these depending on the item used.

Code:
<triggered_effect trigger="onSelfSecondaryActionEnd" action="AddBuff" target="selfAOE" range="2" buff="buffMedicalBandage" target_tags="player"/>
<triggered_effect trigger="onSelfSecondaryActionEnd" action="AddBuff" target="selfAOE" range="2" buff="buffFirstAidKit" target_tags="player"/>
<triggered_effect trigger="onSelfSecondaryActionEnd" action="AddBuff" target="selfAOE" range="2" buff="buffSterileBandage" target_tags="player"/>
<triggered_effect trigger="onSelfSecondaryActionEnd" action="AddBuff" target="selfAOE" range="2" buff="buffParame♥♥♥♥it" target_tags="player"/>
And I mean restart from scratch/level 1, because v2.3 WILL reset characters unless you follow a very specific set of instructions before updating. :)

 
Ok so i found how to do it.

- type dm (since console is open anyway)

- Smatch like crazy Escape + F1 until debug mode open

- Suicide

And i got out of the loop

Ok so... I think we will follow the steps because we don't have a lot of game time. Meaning a day 60 game is like 3 weeks for us ;)

Btw : can i edit one of those file to make bandage not be abble to heal another player so we don't get a panic crash again ? ;)

It's 4:30am Monday morning here in the UK, which means that Darkness Falls V2.3 is now available on the mod launcher for everyone to enjoy :smiley: This release doesn't add many "new" things, it is mostly a bug fixing, balance pass and tweak update.... but there's a lot. Please back up your saves first and do not update if you do not want your character to be reset. There is a workaround, which will be posted.

  • Added Myth's Bloodmoon tweaks.
  • Added myth's RWG patch for smaller cities.
  • Added Myth's "Difficulty Modifier" patch. Zombies no longer have damage reduction at Warrior+. (they still do increased damage)
  • Added Myth's Bloodmoon Clear Up mod (kills biome spawned zombies on bloodmoon start).
  • Added Myth's Day Clear Up mod (kills night biome spawned zombies on day start).
  • Added Myth's No Sleeper HP Bar mod (sleepers do not show the health bar until they wake up).
  • Added Myth's Quest Range alteration... thing. Basically, quests should now be closer to the trader.


As mentioned, due to editing the trader quests for better rewards, characters CAN and will be reset. The workaround for this is to remove all the edited quests from your journal (yes, even if they have been completed.)

So what you would need to do is press F1 to open the console and use the removequest command. List of quest names are as follows.

Code:
Trader Quest list.

tier1_clear
tier1_fetch
tier1_buried_supplies

tier2_clear
tier2_fetch
tier2_hidden_cache
tier2_fetch_clear

tier3_clear
tier3_fetch
tier3_hidden_cache
tier3_fetch_clear
tier3_hidden_clear

tier4_clear
tier4_fetch
tier4_hidden_cache
tier4_fetch_clear
tier4_hidden_clear

tier5_clear
tier5_fetch
tier5_hidden_cache
tier5_fetch_clear
tier5_hidden_clear

quest_tier1complete
quest_tier2complete
quest_tier3complete
quest_tier4complete
quest_tier5complete

Other Quest List.

challenge_silenceofthelambs
challenge_drunkanddisorderly
challenge_nurseyoubacktohealth
challenge_starvingtourists
challenge_dogdaysareover
challenge_itsybitsyspider
challenge_ladykiller
challenge_maneater
challenge_yournothingspecial
challenge_imalumberjackandimokay
challenge_blitzdefense
challenge_givemeaz
challenge_dishonorabledischarge
challenge_cableguysnevermadeit
If you do that, you should be able to update and not lose character progress. However, you WILL restart at T1 of trader quests, but I think that's an acceptable compromise.
