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

how do you read the error logs? where would the actual error be in there? cause i do get this "Detail rendering shaders not found for the active render pipeline, falling back to default shader" which i dont know what it means but eh, can someone read these and tell me? im not sure how to send something so long any help would be great

 
Hello...not sure if this the right place to post this, but if anyone could help me out it would be appreciated. Love the mod, but I am having a problem with the iron bars. I am trying to rotate them to lie flat, so I can stand on them and shoot down on zombies. I hit "r" for the rotate menu, but nothing happens when I try to rotate them...is this part of the mod, or a bug?

 
Khaine, 2 questions: is there a FAQ page available to have questions answered, rather than always be asking you for info? There's no way that I know of to look for info in this thread. Or is there any plan in the future to create something like that?

Secondly, am playing on medium 2 with some friends. There are patches of wasteland/radiation everywhere it seems. Is there a way to shut off the radiation? Very irritating to have to constantly check your map to make sure you aren't walking into wasteland (even within a POI that straddles wasteland biome). And if not, is there something one can use to remove the radiation poisoning so you don't die a slow and horribly death as you get radiated to death? Am on day 3 and have died three times to radiation in the patches of frequent wasteland.

Thank you.

1. Use the search thread feature is the best way to find something. Red bar above the first post of each page is where the search thread is.

2. There are anti-radiation pills you can make, but early game I doubt you'll have them unlocked. You should know what wasteland looks like by now, I see no reason to have to check the map. See wasteland in front of you, turn. If a POI is straddling wasteland, logic would dictate to avoid said POI so you don't run the risk of crossing the unseen line.

Not particularly helpful with the first one and the second point just verges on sarcastic.

The bar at the top searches all of 7D forum, not just the Darkness Falls mod thread. So, typing in Radiation will give me every thread anyone has posted in this entire forum.

Honestly, I don't want to look at the map constantly. I'd just like to know if there's a way to disable the radiation in the wastelands.

Secondly, I didn't ask for sarcasm. I am aware of what wasteland looks like. However, these wasteland spots dot the entire map from what I've seen so far and in the dark, it's not particularly noticeable while riding a vehicle. But, since there seems to be one of you (someone who is sarcastic in their response, rather than just answering a question) in every forum post in the world, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

1. It literally says "Search Thread", not the whole forum. I've used it multiple times trying to figure stuff out.

2. Yes, there may have been some sarcasm in it, but the point is still there. My answer was based on the information provided. You didn't specify driving in the dark. I don't know where you are in the game, but if you have have hazmat stuff and are riding in a car, why not just wear it? Or power armor if you are really far. I'm not familiar with medium 2, I've only played the large map.

I've never made a mod, I'm not well versed in HTML. I'm actually pretty stupid. I did look around for about 5 minutes in the config files and found what could possibly take it out. If you comment out the buff for radiation, it may work. It's something you'd have to try after backing up your game.

 
Anybody knows a video or tutorial about how to use the irrigation system?

I place the console near a lake and place the seeds near to the pipeline but they didn't grow

he probably only saw the forum search box. sometimes I find this forum software hides links in the borders too much.

anyone play with a longer day cycle? I like having more daylight for DF but I think it might be over leveling me a little. I thought I would add more zeds to compensate me having too much build and explore time but that might have had the opposite affect as well. of course everytime a pack of rad zombs and ferals rush me I change my mind lol ...thoughts?

Hi KhaineGB.

With new demonic zombies regeneration, there are problem with Caitlin appears - Caitlin guards cant kill demonic zombies...

I was interested how they deal with demons in 2.5, so I wait at Cait until nighttime. At night 10+ demonic spawned around base, I'd hide at roof and wait what happens. So what we have now? 3 guards shoot at demonic nurse more then minute, yes, at least they manage to kill her, but she even was not aggressive, just walking around. So, if now few zombies will be attracted at a time, trader base have no chances, and should be destroyed in a minutes...

 
Sorry for the noob question but, where can i find the links for the darkness falls maps?
They are built in to the install. You can find them on the map selection screen when starting a new game.

 
Important note.

I just finished burying my cat. I'm a mess.

Any responses here are not intended to sound annoyed/angry/sarcastic/etc.

I just didn't want to leave folks without answers. But I'm likely going to take a day or two away to just... try and deal.

That's a warning. If you press F1, warnings are in yellow (and can be ignored), errors ar ein red.

Hold r, select advanced rotation.

1) There is in the discord. One of the testers is working on turning it into a site as well.

2) There is if you edit XML, but it's an intended part of progression. So leave it alone. I recommend updating to 18.3 because I changed how it works (it basically smacks you for about 40 health damage when you leave the biome, and that's it).

I'll adjust their ai later to not target demons.

But on multiplayer server players may attract demons and cause destruction... And today I saw how it happens...

And about demonic sleepers - looks like them spawn too early. I meet them from my lvl 40, maybe even earlier.

One more question - ammo dissassembling miss casing, is this bug, or this is how it intended?

Where are you finding demonic sleepers? In 18.2 I was around level 210 and would occasionally get 1 demon in a screamer horde. Maybe 3 demons at most outside of radiated area, ever. Never saw a sleeper in a non radioactive area. I'm only around level 55 in my current game and still haven't encountered a demon. Are you playing with people that are much higher level than you? Maybe on max difficulty causing gamestage to be inflated?

I am updated to 18.3. I have died three times from full health and one of the other players has also died twice to it after leaving the biome. So it's taking way more than 40 health. It's killing us when we accidentally stumble into it. Lots of crop circle like wasteland areas surrounded by other biomes. Some larger and some smaller. Is that intentional?

I am sorry to hear about your cat. :(

Thank you, Kresdja. I never noticed that one. Only the blank space above it. Re: vehicle - I had a bike I was able to make on the second day. Was riding 6 km to meet up with my group. Was difficult to notice the wastelands spotting the map all over until I was already in it. No hazmat, obviously at this point, or I wouldn't be saying I died several times.

These are all over the map. Easy to accidentally stumble into one. Or go into a POI that is straddling one of these and not even realize it was.

I call them Wasteland Crop Circles. Patches of circular wasteland spotting other biomes.

Edit: Just happened again. Player accidentally drove into a wasteland crop circle. He left immediately. Had radiation poisoning for one hour according to the debuff. He went from 80 health to dead.

I've run into the radiation zones the last couple days by accident and they seem to behave like Khaine indicates. I'm only losing about 40 health and not getting nuked. I'm on regular difficulty. Not sure if it scales Likasil.

Maybe you have an older version of the mod, prior to him adding the radiation not killing you thing. I'm not sure at what point he added it in 2.5
