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

[zeke24]

White buildings usually means the mod updated over 19.4, not 19.5.

Is there any way to fix that? it hurts the eyes a bit whenever it flickers

 

[KhaineGB]

Yeah. Get a cleain 19.5 off steam and  reinstall the mod.

 

[zeke24]

server side or client side?

 if server side i already did that and it didnt seem to fix the issue.

 

[KhaineGB]

Client side

 

[zeke24]

[MrZluka19]

Check the server settings. It might be an incorrect seetting for bloodmoon.

server config was correct setting for the bloodmoon

Do you use you mashine as server or do you have an extra rented server ?

When you use your own mashine as server, what internet connection you got, special the upload part ?

When your friends connect to you, and you have just a small upload speed (like most DSL ) it could be a bottleneck.

You should monitor the upload to verify that maybe.

If you use an external server, that server might be to weak. DF use alot more RAM compared to vanilla 7D2D.

^ incorrect setting here. You need to put a number or -1 to turn it off, not leave it blank.

KhaineGB, I recently started playing Darkness Falls and just wanted to thank you for this awesome overhaul. I didn't start playing 7D2D until A17, so it's nice to experience some features similar to what my old-timer friends described. On an unrelated note, I got both the lathe and a watch mod on Day 4 while madly searching for a wrench (which I also scored). I'm never going to get that lucky again in DF, am I?

 

[Aldebaran12345]

@KhaineGB is this a new feature or a bug? The zombies and animals are healing to full health almost immediately. It's literally game breaking. Hahaha! We were up against an unkillable bear on our first week ingame.

Glad you're anjoying it.

And yes, that's very good luck. Don't expect it again.

Only demon ones should be doing that. It's not doing it for me or anyone else.

 

[MsZamurey]

@KhaineGBI want to play DF with friends and rent a server, I installed the server version of the mod and whenever I try to use one of the DF maps, I end up with no land except for the buidlings poled up on. Neither map does work. Only Navezgane was working with the mod, but I want to use a DF map. Do you have any advice?

 

[KhaineGB]

Probably a bad install. The maps definitely work.

@KhaineGB Hey there,

First off, let me just say that I have been playing 7DTD since Alpha 16, and this mod has re-energized my enthusiasm for the game.

I have an issue when playing DF however. Anytime i go into the trader, as soon as I hit "E" to speak with the trader, my game freezes and eventually crashes on me. I have forced it to open in Direct X 10, turned my video settings to the lowest possible iteration, and downloaded and reinstalled DF and 7DTD multiple times now. Any ideas what might be causing my client to crash. I only play in single player, so its not a server issue for sure.

TIA for any assistance anyone may be able to render regarding this issue.

[KhaineGB]

Try increasing the max spawned zombies setting to 100 and see if that helps

Are you on linux? Doesn't sound like it since you mention DX10 but thought it was worth an ask.

Hey bud, have u tried checking the output log to see if theres anything u can see there that might be crashing the game. does it crash or  does it send u back to the main menu, a couple of my buddies have this issue, through server console it says its steam side. Although u play solo technically i believe u create a server where u can still invite buddies and such.

Hey there, newcomer to this mod. I run a vanilla server and the group decided to try this mod. So far they're really liking their plays in client-hosted mode, and have asked me to put up the server so they don't have to keep running it themselves.

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 with 10 GB of RAM, plenty of swap (because I saw how much this thing gobbles). However I'm apparently having issues getting the server to do such simple tasks like loading the core XML files.

I've submitted a ticket on the GitLab project but I guess that's not the place to solicit help so here I am.

In summary, server essentially falls over because it can't load things like blocks.xml, and even though it lists itself and clients can (try to) join, it basically doesn't work. No explicit crash (well, besides the exception handler swallowing things will unhelpful messages), and I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong.

Log pastebin for the server is https://pastebin.com/ckAcXvGf

Server config xml is https://pastebin.com/Ub0YWACy

Steps I followed was duplicate the Steam vanilla server files, git clone the repo and copy everything into the copy, adjust the serverconfig.xml file and attempt to start the server.

Any idea on how I can begin diagnosing the issue?
