Khelldon's Modlets

[Khelldon]

My pleasure, and thanks for the hard work! I'm considering turning the uma texture up one notch to see if performance is impacted much.
The only issues we are seeing is the stagger animation when you stun them doesn't seem to be working, when they fall sometimes thru can slide towards you and take a whack at you before getting up (we pretend that's an intended play mechanic), the vehicles just pass through them and don't hit them, ...and when you kill one in a doorway you can't pass through them like the standard zombies, and have to wait for them to res out.

I'm wondering if the standard zombies have some additional entries in xml that can just be added to them?

Since there are so many uma, it might also be good to reduce to possibility of a zombie spawn to be a uma... that would increase performance, and more complex would have those missing broken features.

Maybe we can talk faatal into adding these properties to the uma code, ....if they are hard coded?

I hear you. They aren't perfect. I spent a fair amount of time trying to figure these problems out. I came to the conclusion that most of it is hardcoded and won't change. I think you can't run them over so you can't run your friends over. A lot of the way they behave is due to that we're faking the player model into the zombies mechanics. As a little spoiler though, I am developing a whole crap load of new zombies, not UMA ones. I will release them later when we sort out how to do it will the dll changes needed, but without sdx. So something to look forward to as far as new zombies (and animals)

After removing from server, I'm receiving tons of errors as the server is still trying to spawn them. Any idea on removal?

Yeah, I mentioned the same thing earlier. just ignore them, I think, leave the chunk and re enter. I think it'll repopulate the sleepers with the standard zombies.

FWIW, I do zbrush sculpting as a hobby, and would be happy to do some detail work on them. If Faatal is willing and can work the uma fixes in to his schedule, they might work as normal a17 zombies do.

If nothing else it was good to at least see them in for a bit... but we seriously need some zed variety without them.

Maybe we can just export the vanilla models, reskin them, and add them back in?

For sure, I want to ignore them but it drives cpu usage up 20% when it starts doing it, for a few minutes at a time (sometimes).

 

[Khelldon]

Yes, that. In fact, i figured out how to do that and put a pack together for all the modders. You are going to be seeing a lot of new zombies reskins in the next few months. I promise.

If you have them in a portable 3d format I'd like a link to them, and I'll happily just contribute them to your pool.

BTW I think the baby bears might either be too prolific, or offer too much meat. (I think the vanilla bears also yield to much meat. We have 1250 extra meat right now, and more food for 4 people than we couls an impablance xnce d ever eat. (We also have a gardener with high skills invested.)

Its not fair that I report this a imbalance bug since we have the mods in, but we see baby bears probably 10x more than we see the boars. (They also spawn invisible animals to cut down on how many can be hunted. I'd say reduce their numbers to maybe 1/5th of the current spawn rate.) I didn't look at their meat drops, but since they are a third the size of the boars, I'd think we'd get 1/3rd as much meat as them.

We encountered and killed probably 8 full sized bears in two days, and brought back probably 400 meat from them alone in two days. The bears probably spawn in more later game as a bigger threat, but since you have more firepower, they end up just becoming a meat delivery service.

Love the rebar bolts. For anyone interested you can replace the buff with some other buffs if you want. I made a lovely electric shock bolt based on this awesome modlet by just doing that. Khelldon perhaps you could release an official one with a blue icon to suit etc ? Thanks for the great work these modlets really add to the game.

I don't want to post the link on the forum. I'd feel weird about giving the pimps work out where anyone could get it. I have it shared in a modding discord. Have you done much modding before?

Hey thanks, glad you like them. I will be releasing some cool stuff like that in the near future. I'm currently working really hard on an overhaul mod. I want to keep most of it as surprises. So i don't want to release the whole mod in modlet form or no one will play the overhaul. LOL After I get the overhaul out, I will piece out some more modlets. Thanks so much.

Yup... I did xml modding on A15 and a16, was building pois on Guppy's poi building server for a while, and have been doing 3d modelling and digital sculpting now since 1985 (I have items in the daz3d store and did some commission work for some of their products, but haven't really created anything there in like 8 years now.). I just do it as a hobby now.

Got those errors when using Screamerbears and Babybears

yeah someone else had that problem earlier. Is it on a dedicated server? Cause animal bear is definitely there. The second error is with the UMA zombies. Same thing. Not sure what's going on there.

The screamer bear mod doesn't completely push, and clients need to install it as well.

Modlets are SO easy to install or remove that it shouldn't be an issue.

The screamer bears texture has to be installed on clients, otherwise they end up with an invisible screamer bear...lol!

LOL What's wrong with it is it's not released yet, I'm working on it. When it's ready there will be a new thread and it will appear of the launcher. Was wondering how long before someone found that and tried to play it

When a Mod or Modlet shows up here, im looking for the the git if there is one, to get the newest. Sorry im a mod / modlet collector. Like all of all Modders Good Work.

Hi Khelldon like your work and looking forward to more zombie variation

Is it possible to bring back the old style deer/stag in a similar way to your 'Get piggy' modlet. I assume the old style deer is still in the game somewhere along with some long long lost other stuff.

It's all good, although I'll suggest you switch to the launcher. On the launcher mods will update automatically whenever the modder makes changes. It's so much easier than checking gits.

Hey thank you I am not sure the old stag is still in there, I'll have a look at the asset packs and see if it's possible. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thats right, but not all are there i think.
