good to hear about the heat map tweak, it's really aggressive

You have to "reload" them with animal feed. I am pretty sure it's right-click.

 
Every time I open up the 7DTD mod launcher and click Play Mod to open Darkness Falls, it gives me the "The following downloads will occur to install the mods for this server" message and recopies all the folders and all that. This takes several minutes to complete, and it didn't use to do that every single time I enter the game. Is that something new that I just have to deal with, or is there some way to get it to stop?

I'm not sure if I've left something checked in the launcher that I shouldn't have, or what. Can someone let me know how to stop this, if it's possible? Thanks in advance!

^ Darkness Falls is for stable releases.  If Khaine makes one available there is a separate experimental branch for non stable builds.  You can always check what exact version you need to match in the 7D2D Mod Launcher description notes.

 
Is there something wrong!
I'll start with the main thing!
Spurs any soldier or anyone who risks his life with a weapon, you will not be understood!
A weapon that kills from the 30th shot !! THIS IS NOT A WEAPON!

Is it really hard to understand ??? I understand you children!
I understand that all your knowledge is DOOM, but you still need to think!
1. Weapon of the 1st grade - must kill initial zombies with 1-3 shots,
2. Weapons of the 2nd grade of ferrals
3. Green Ferrals Raid 3 Weapon!

Difficulty should not be determined by the number of bullets fired!
You need to make the monsters kill the player, on a simple level from 2-5 times, on average from 2-3 hits and on a difficult level 1-2 hits!

Played on high difficulty! For those who do not understand, this is 300% of experience!

On the first (7) night, 600 zombies came !!!!!!!!!!!!
Half of them are Banshees!
After the end of the horde, chants - Banshees - from 4 am to 7 am Shouted 570 green ferrals !!
It would be more! How can you kill 100 zombies if you need 20-30 shots for each? No weapon is capable of this!
I'm not an idiot! I took out the gun of the developers and killed everything!
In the radioactive zone, chants (banshees) screamed 1200! Zombies, and they walked, sewed, walked!
I couldn't run away, it was no longer a game but a turn-based strategy!
Again, a gun from a creotiv, from the developers, solved all the problems!
It only means odon! RAVE!
The firepower is simply not enough! I had all kinds of weapons, with armor-piercing bullets!
4. It is necessary to change the loot system, at high levels I am able to make red weapons and things!
In the loot, as before, only purple!
And why should I farm?

5.Degradation of weapons during repair-nonsense!
I just carry a spare set of kars weapons with me!
Repaired, it dropped to purple, I immediately take out the mods and insert them into the spare!
There is no point in repairing, everything loses in price very much. For all the passage I did not use the repair kit NEVER !!! What for???

If I didn't know before that there were suits with radioactive shielding, I ran to this area without him!
Now, everything is extremely simple.
Why do I need this zone ?? Yes, once I climbed into the bunker, found a laser workbench, and made a laser workbench on it! ALL!
 Why do I need to run to this area? Why search for supermonsters? I can already craft everything!

I believe that it is necessary to remove
-Adjust the balance of firepower, and life!
- degradation of weapons and things!
- change the merchant's assortment, well, there is absolutely nothing to buy at high levels, except for resources.
-Make red loot drop too! Otherwise, why farm.
-Make laser cutters and doors powered by electricity!
-Correct Russian translation, this is writing !!!!!
-I really want it like in another fashion, implemented, the change of seasons, with all the charms of the weather!
-Remove the army's powerful armor, with protection from radiation, whereas before it will be possible to run in titanium after taking pills! At the moment, with this armor, the radioactive zone seems to disappear!
-Decrease the number of monsters in the radioactive zone, and so the game is barely moving!

P.S. Oddly enough, I didn't find where to make titanium blocks, I found out about the lazar machine by accident!
Until level 185, NEVER met, portal and angels? And why are they needed now !?
Sorry for the quality of the translation. It's all google :)

Pretty sure you have to click Pre-sync and wait cos it's a big download.

Me again. I did what you suggested and hit pre sync. It finished, and when I hit the play mod button it copied everything again! I don't get it.

We only have Darkness Falls installed, no modlets.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Save yourself some headaches and install the mod manually. It's so easy, I don't know why people use that buggy mod launcher .

Is the current version compatible with 19.1 experimental build? Anyone tried it?
Click to expand...
No. Testers have a test version though.

General rule of thumb: If a new 7DTD version just came out, there's a VERY good chance DF won't work on it because I need to recompile all the DLL's.

Good god. Where do I start with this...

Weapons. No. Just no. Sod off. This is a hard mod. You don't like it, don't play it. There's plenty more you can play.

The screamer thing with horde night is a BUG that i'm working to fix. I am pretty sure I explained this earlier.

Loot doesn't need changing. Loot being capped to 50-ish is intended because only CLASS MASTERIES can make above that. It's been like that since A17, if not A16.

Rad zone isn't getting removed. Stop complaining.

A community member fixed the russian translation and I uploaded it earlier this week.

Also

I DO NOT SPEAK ANY LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH. Don't you DARE come in and @%$# about translation when I actually spent several hours setting up spreadsheets to automatically translate english to every single language supported by the game because I wanted to try and do that for players who DON'T speak english.

That is just rude and disrespectful.

This may be related to the heat map issue, but we are having problems with screamers. Clearing a POI,  I clear two rooms then have to run around the outside killing sreamers before they summon hordes. Then back in for 2 more rooms before repeating. Attempted to do the large science bunker and zombies stopped spawning inside of it halfway down because screamers were outside and had summoned enough to max out the spawns.

Yeah, heatmap climbs too fast. I did do a fix that seemed to help (some folks in discord tested it) so it's getting rolled into 3.1 for A19.1

Basically I halved the heatmap of Pistols and Rifles, and lowered Shotguns/Autos by 25% (because they're big and loud). I figured that should give all guns a "purpose"... for lack of a better term. :)

I believe if you uncheck "Refresh Mods Automatically" it will stop doing that.  It also prevents it from overwriting any changes you may have made.

That being said...I know this has been asked before, because I remember asking it, but it's been a couple versions and I didn't see anything since 3.0 dropped, but will I end up missing out on any sort of important resource by disabling spiders?  If not, should I just comment them out of the xml, or should I replace them with something (and if so, suggestions on what to replace them with would be appreciated.)

Edit:  I'm looking through the entitygroups.xml and I'm seeing animalspider (which I'm assuming is the spiders) and animalspider02 and animalspider03.  Are those actually different creatures?  I'm thinking about replacing the spiders with snakes (because I'm assuming they both give venom extract or whatever it's called) and I'm not sure if animalspider02 and animalspider03 are actually different creatures or just different instances of the same creature, and if I can replace them all with the same thing.

В 3.02 версии русский перевод в основном поправлен, остальные дополнительные небольшие правки (ошибки, недочеты) делаются по мере прохождения. Времени, к сожалению, в последнее время было мало, чтобы играть. Если есть какие-либо замечания по переводу, то пиши в лс. Гляну, поправлю

In version 3.02, the Russian translation is mostly corrected, other additional minor edits (errors, shortcomings) are made as you progress. Unfortunately, there hasn't been much time lately to play. If you have any comments on the translation, then write to PM. I will look, I will correct

@user2010 Okay, I don't post here alot, but I do read the forums at times, and the lack of respect and sense of entitlement that I have seen from people like yourself is disgusting to say the least. 

I'll never understand how, and why, people yourself feel the need to lash out and bash the developers about an issue that you have with a mod (that cost you nothing in the first place) instead of trying to offer constructive criticism in a polite manner that may help further development to make it a better product in the end. 

Especially devs who create mods on their own free time while asking nothing back in return, and to my knowledge, usually don't get anything but a "thank you" from people. 

If the mod isn't for you, then move on and try something else that better suits you.

But regardless of how you feel about it, you should still always appreciate the work, effort, and time that the person put into it. Not rant to them about horrible of a job they have done just because it didn't meet your personal requirements or needs. 

This sense of entitlement and disrespectful attitude from people like yourself are just downright sick to even read. 

I know this wasn't my place to say anything and I apologize to everyone for that.  I've just read too much crap like this and have kept quiet. not only this this community but others as well.
