[MOD A17] Better Balance Mod

Puschpa · Jan 15, 2019

The NRE regarding an effect could be triggered from the Vultures and their modified or removed acid spit. We had the same issue, only during horde night with the modified Vultures from Jaxtellers Mod.

Sorry for the lack of activity all. Changing jobs currently and a whirlwind of stuff going on.

Away until early next week and then should be back to normal. Thanks to everyone steps in to help!

The only other mod I have running is the HDHQ graphics mod.

Nailgun speed won't be needed as it is changed in B9 to 0.3

<set xpath="/items/item[@name=gunToolNailgun]/property[@class=Action1]/property[@name=Delay]/@value">0.32</set>

I'm using parts of this mod, but have a problem with the additional Mining Helmets. Since they extend the regular Mining Helmet, shouldn't they also have the same features? But they do not have a quality, so also no mod slots, which makes them useless for the players. They also stack at 500, due to the missing quality. How could I fix the issues with the missing mod slots?

Jamineal · Jan 23, 2019

Hey, tried this sucker and installed it just as shown. None of the things seem to be working in B9. Is there some easy fix to that? Am I just somehow an idiot? Like it would say on world gen that it was using BBM 1.8 but it didn't actually seem to DO anything.

Hi all,

Sorry for lack of updates, the new job and time away from home has meant gaming has gone on the backburner.

Going to fire up 7DTD over the coming days as life has settled a bit more now. I'll look back over the thread and address anything then.

Thanks again for the patience and pm's, back on track very soon!

Hi how do I remove the zombie blocks damage reduction? I like the other parts of the mod but this just ruins the game for me. I've been looking through all the xml's and cant seem to find it.

Thanks!

Back again!

Zs

Zs nerf'd against metal, stone, concrete, brick blocks etc. (no more tearing through concrete like butter and underground bases are back!)

THIS!!! ONLY THIS! Cmom... We went from TWD to World War Z in this A17.... I tought they should put some option to ppl that want to keep on TWD mode... Zombies tearing concrete and Jumping? Not for me... I'll try your mod, thanks!!!

imchrislance · Mar 13, 2019

This working on 17.2? I can't get it to work at all now.

ricksr371 · May 15, 2019

It worked in 17.1,17.2, and working fine in 17.3, but when I started 17.3 there was no 'mods' folder. I had to make it and drop the mod into it. Worked for me, but you may have already tried that. Good luck.

Acevy · May 22, 2019

The full mod makes the game too easy for me but is there a way I can only get these features

Mining stone bonuses

-More iron per rock (scales with perks)

-Chance of scrap iron, coal, lead and nitrate

-Chance of gems, Silver (4%), Gold (2%) and Diamond (1%)

The main one I'm interested in is the chance of iron coal lead and nitrate.

Wolfensteinm · May 25, 2019

It would be nicer if the mod was separated in smalled mods. For example a mode for the player, one for the zombies, one for loot etc. Since for example I don't want the player part or the misc part.

That is like saying "Why don't you play with no mods at all?" Just because I like to make the game easier instead of making it more difficult does not mean my request is not a valid one. If you won't make a mod that does what I asked for because of your moral limitations about cheating then just say you don't make cheats. In fact, if that is how you feel you need not post anything at all. You don't need to come down on me for the way I like to play my game.
If you can't make the mod I asked for because you don't know how then just say you can't and leave it at that. Yeah, I like to cheat, so what? How does that affect you? Not at all. So how about we just play the game the way we like and have fun?

Besides, you don't seem to have a problems with more bag slots, stamina cost reduced, being able to get water from faucets, zombie attack range reduced, zombie block damage reduced, and the many other "cheats" in this mod. Isn't that a little more than hypocritical?

My apologies to the OP, I think your work is awesome and I thank you for it. Sorry if I had a bit of a rant here.

Well made points. I liked your line of reasoning and share your position.

I love this mod!

I refuse to play -without- this mod.

Is there any update for A18? Are updates needed for A18?
