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

Hello,

Two questions, So if im using nitrogen to RWG maps with Darkness Falls v2.5 for alpha 18.4, I've read on this thread that the mod already uses compo pack so could I get away with using this darknessfalls prefab list https://github.com/NickPhaedra/7-Days-to-Die-NitroGen-Prefab-Lists/ ? I dont remember seeing on anything on recent changelogs if there were new POIs added but I could be mistaken and that list is a prefab list for Darkness Falls v2.3.

Second Question: Since uranium and plutonium were just made to be in the now radiated wastelands for the new version of mod, I no longer have to use the option on Nitrogen to generate dfalls specific zones anymore right?

 
even if i have the game and mod installed on a separate drive it will give me the error? i downloaded a program to show my memory usage and when DF is loading it caps my memory at 16000mb so i dont think its my computer its the mod needing so much memory

Hi Khaine,

is there a recommended small map for solo players? I've been playing for a while on medium but I think I am going to move down to small.

 
Hi Khaine,when i play the latest stable version for 18.3 and use the blood draw kit, the buff buffBloodDrawKit01name to buffBloodDrawKit04name together with buffBloodDrawKit01Desc to buffBloodDrawKit04Desc is missing from the localization folder, this makes the buff display as raw text in the Status Effects tab. Fix?

Did this last night, but haven't tested yet. Basically did it quick before I went to bed.

This is the prefablist I was using for nitrogen to test.

The DF specific option is no longer needed. :)

Yes, it could still give you the error. DF and a medium map uses about 13-14GB of my 32GB, and 7DTD will crash with an "out of memory" error once it hits 8GB if you don't have enough virtual memory. It even does that on vanilla though you are MUCH less likely to see it.

I like small 2 and 3. I also edited nav to have DF POI's so i'm thinking of playing that for a solo run soon.

modded 7D2D is a beast. I had to increase my pagefile to 40gb to give it some cushion and it usually sits around 30-32gb of pagefile. I do have some things open in the background while I play though.

thanks, I think I'll give small3 a go. Nav in the current 2.5 stable is the edited one or in exp?

 
Has anyone else had trouble downloading the mod on the mod launcher?

I've had it take 3+ HOURS and im on a solid 90 Mb connection using Cat 6 to my router.

Any other mod is like 30 minutes at most (Ravenhearst). I recently deleted the mod I had so that I could upgrade to 2.5/18.3 and I CAN NOT get it to properly download. Were there problems the last few days?

I rather like DF a lil more than RH so this kinda sucks for me.

help?

 
Hello DF players how does DF compare with vanilla for FPS? I'd like to return to DF but only if it plays smoothly. Also are bandits back in yet?

there are bandits, as well as hirable NPCs... who die pretty fast for the money!

I had mixed FPS but it may be because my system is starting to age. When I had it working, i only had 8GB RAM YMMV

That's just gitlab. Not a lot I can do about that.

You could download it from Nexus and manually install. Using a VPN sometimes helps too (had the same problem installing RH on a 300mb connection, turned on my VPN and it somehow fixed it).

Depends entirely on the map you play. Though you can install Sphereii's Legacy Distant Terrain mod to DF 18.3 for extra FPS.

I have used it a lot over the last couple weeks trying the overhauls on there and I didn't experience any speed problems. Most packs were done within 10 minutes. It could be your connection path to github over the internet maybe?

On Ultrawide 3440x1600 with 2.5 I get about 60-80fps with only a 1080ti. I think I can squeeze out some more but I stopped tuning the graphics options so I could do more playing :) It runs really well you can sacrifice some eye candy for more frames.

i ment i saw the bandits, but i didn't knew you can hire them

Only the named ones

 
After creating and reading the future is now book, does reading additional copies do anything? If not, can research notes be used for anything else?

Also, I've seen it mentioned in other forums from time to time. Mega city map, you know nothing but city. I realize it may not be plausible, would wreck older machines, and probably have to be somewhat smaller than normal map size. Could be very interesting if possible.

I'm also enjoying the mod very much. Excellent job Khaine, and thank you.

 
are torches (not flashlights) still meant to be used as a weapon? when I swing (left click) it starts to attack but then drops to the ground. I thought you might have taken it out but the tooltip still says can be used as a weapon.

also I found a UI glitch I'm not sure if it's mod specific:

I was in the skills tab looking stuff up and accidentally mashed two keys together. The command line box pops up with continuous red text:

"NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

I can repeat by doing the same. It doesn't seem to happen on other UI elements with text box inputs, just the skills tab that I can find. I can replicate it, a reload resets the UI.

I'm on 2.5 with 18.3 with Valmar's traps & HDHQ modlets

Tried Everything

well i tried just about everything, i deleted so many files moved some things around and still game crashes, i did notice my GPU usage jumps to 100% but i can run A18.2 version for DF with no problems at all nothing happens no major lag or anything, it has to be the mod then right? i cant find the crash logs anywhere, i have 16 gig memory im running a fairly old machine i only have a i7-4790k cpu its fairly old as i said i dont have money to upgrade at all, im so broke the rats are laughing at me its all them damn medical bills, but anyway i found a great map and dont want to lose it, when i first got the updated mod it ran fine nothing wrong, then i changed some video settings and it crashed so im not sure what to do at this point.

I actually experienced the same sort of thing on a new machine. The way it was crashing I knew it was memory so I was watching the memory usage and it would crash at about 8gb of physical mem. Then it would fill up the page file and crash when it was full. The page file useage seems to be higher on 18.3, I never crashed before. Try increasing your page file and see if it gets any better, it's an easy test.
