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

Hi all, a couple questions. Me and my friends pre-synced one day and came back to a mess.

1. How often do we need to pre-sync the game?

2. I think my game is glitched. Our biome used to be the burnt biome, but now appears as snow (sound is still burnt biome). From the top of our base, we can see that our biome is surrounded by a mountain range that wasn't there before. As you move towards it, the mountain disappears in chunks, but as you backtrack, it reappears.

4. There are multiple, scattered, floating snow trees that appeared as well. When you try to chop it down, you hear yourself hitting stone instead of wood.

​​​​5. The day this glitch occurred, we also lost our ability to view the full map. We're playing on the large df map. The wasteland is mostly cut off, except for the edges. So we can view maybe only 70% of what the full map should be. We had literally just found the big bunker after almost 2 weeks searching for it IRL and now I'm afraid we can't even get to it. Showing the bunker waypoint, just shows us the edge of the map.

6. My friend has an issue where everytime he gets off his motorcycle, it will teleport 500m away, down the path he just traveled.

​​​​​​Is there something I can do to fix it?

I downloaded Darkness Falls from the 7d2d Mod Launcher and synced it. Every time i launch darkness falls the game launches vanilla version of the game instead of the mod. I checked the darkness falls folder and i don't see any of the mod folder or any other folder you see when you download the server version of darkness falls. I went to gitlab.com/KhaineGB/dfa18client to see and all i see is the ReadMe.md file and nothing else.

Is there something i'm doing wrong or as DFClient version been taken down? Also before i start a DFServer everyone needs the DFClient installed right?

 
Have the same problem as PotatoLegacy. Just want to start play with mods but can't install them lol, when I start Darkness Falls from launcher-vanilla version launches. Are we doing something wrong or what?

 
I'm having an issue, I just installed the mod via 7D2DModLauncher. I Pre-Sync the mod before launching it via the mod launcher. When the game loads I try to create a new game using one of the Darkness Falls premade maps but they aren't there. I checked to see if the maps were in the game under the following directories: 7D2D\Alpha18\Darkness_Falls\Darknss_Falls\Data\Wor lds there are only the following maps: Navesgane, Playtesting, PREGEN01, PREGEN02,PREGEN03. I also checked in "username"\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\GeneratedWor lds. There is nothing there for the Darkness Falls maps. I dont want to play the mod on Navesgane or the other default Pregen maps. Please help so I can enjoy this beautiful piece of work!!! I have already tried deleting the copy of the game for DKF and reinstalling via mod launcher but I got the same result.

As has been posted many times already, dont use mod launcher for now, have to install manually from a link Khaine posted page or 2 back.

 
Hello,

Getting back in 7DTD and seeing DF was on latest version i'm downloading (but i think i should get it from Nexus mods from what i can read on the last pages ? Or is it fixed in the mod launcher ?)

Is there specific patch notes for DF on 18.4 ? 'Cause this thread is 310 pages long.

Do you store it somewhere Khaine ? (also may you recover soon)

 
Quick update cos allergies are kicking the crap out of me.

As stated, if you look on the launcher (specifically at the screenshot I posted on the last page) there is a "Check here to download from mirror" box.

USE THAT.

Gitlab is being a pain. I've managed to track it down to it refusing to allow the worlds to upload. So i've got the mod uploaded, but the worlds are missing (as of about 20 mins ago).

I will look into it more, but USE THE MIRROR.

EDIT: Linking the image again even though it was only on the last page and people apparently didn't want to look.

Hey Khaine. The mirror wasn't working initially. Well, right after you posted about it. But now the mirror seems to be syncing which is great news. Not sure if you changed something server side.

 
What are the restrictions on gaining wellness from eating and drinking? I noticed I can't just chug red tea to max it out, do I need to actually be thirsty, or is it the quality food/drink buffs that prevent gaining more while they're active? Had a streak of bad luck so my wellness went from maximum to minimum over the course of the day...

Which reminds me, is there some condition other than the blood moon that makes zombies fast? I was trying to do a tier 2 clear, but things got hectic when all the zombies started sprinting at me, including the random decaying cadavers around the poi. Bit of a shock after spending so much time on that particular server where the speed is Jog for everything. Especially as one of the deaths was to a behemoth, or so I think as I only saw it a split second before it walloped me into next week. Probably came in from the nearby wasteland.

It happened again just a few minutes ago, just in time for my first encounter with a Demonic Spider zombie; got a bit worried when I saw it regenerate 500+hp in one go, but luckily unloading my combat shotgun into it worked.

you get a food, water and medicine buff when they are active from an item. you have to wait until they run out to rebuff and get the wellness bump again. sucks when you get rushed by ferals in a tier2 poi which happens to me all the time but it means I have to be super careful since I"m squishy. I use double turrets with mods on them to cover my butt. they are really useful in DF.

 
Hi guys can anyone tell me. If I download an available modlet listed on the mod launcher, does that modlet automatically activate in the next game I play from the launcher?

 
Couple of notes about server 18.4 experimental and some questions I had.

The box of 7.62 ammo has description text that indicates it does the same thing as the normal version, crafts 100 ammo more efficiently. However when I'm at the metal workbench trying to make boxes of 7.62 ammo it shows the materials required as 300 7.62 ammo and it looks like the output is a box of 100 7.62 ammo.

I keep getting a green item that looks like skill notes but named DFTraderJenFactionBook and has the icon as if it's an unread schematic after turning in quests to her. Doesn't seem to do anything when I use it.

The question I had was regarding the hidden bunker in the wasteland with the future tech stuff in it. I read earlier in the thread that people could search for 'research' in the prefab.xml file to verify whether one actually existed on the map. When I do that I'm not finding any results. In fact when I look through a variety of the maps prefab.xml files I'm not seeing it on any of them, even the default DF maps. My guess is this changed at some point and I read outdated information. Can anyone clarify what the prefab name is for the POI with the laser workbench?

Edit: Want to note all my previous issues were resolved by doing a clean install and using the mirror. All the crashes and console error spam went away. I appreciate the work put into building this fabulous mod.

I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, but I've just failed 2x Tier 1 quests. The first one on Day 1. I had to clear a house but it had a radiated feral zombie in it which destroyed me. The second one was also a Tier 1 quest, this time on Day 2. The building had a tough old man outside it - 900 hp, sprinting, and quickly regenerating health. Am I supposed to be finding zombies this difficult on days one and two on Tier 1 quests?

Probably wellness I'm guessing. When you die you lose wellness. It's a hidden stat that accumulates when you eat food or drink water with wellness on them. It's explained a couple of posts above. Wellness allows you to increase your max hp, max stamina, and max hunger slowly above the base value but I've had someone else tell me that when they died a lot early game they had very low hp for a while until he got his wellness up. He died near a demon portal exploring and kept dying while trying to get his body back.
