Ravenhearst Mod

Mods that add fancy stuff, but do zero math when it comes to weapon balancing or progression. I could strip every SDX aspect out of my mod, remove all the models and still be proud of what my team and I did when it comes to the overall feel of the game. Sure the extras are nice, but the real meat of it I hope this go around is the MAJOR work put into making every perk and skill a must have, not an after thought. Not a fancy dressed up Vanilla.
Things such as changing where loot spawns, your chances at them, recipe changes to vanilla items, totally rewriting melee and ranged damage/accuracy etc to play nicer with perks.

That wasn't a rip on any mod BTW, we are just THAT proud of what we have done, and my team DESERVES the bragging I am going to be doing. We worked hard every single day on this. They put up with a lot of crap too.

Noticed you dropped out of our Discord. What happened man. I was looking forward to reactions from you when we release.

Sorry bro, all the notifications were getting to me lol. Not time for much else besides med mod atm, its all consuming. Basically gup and stomp doing the heavy lifting with me as a third wheel. Everyones been great helping out with new models, animations, etc but the basic stuff, prefabbing and xml is taking its toll. Thought more people would jump at the chance to put their mark on it but, heh, whatever. Enjoyed ravenhearst when i did get a chance to play. :smile-new:

 
I was going to try to put my mark on it but it turned out more like a "pitstain on the shirt of humanity". I also thought there would be more people involved. Would have loved to been able to say "Hey, I helped with that" (single tear down face, bow and curtain)

 


Really though, would've loved to have done something to add to it. It sucks to be talentless...




 
really still want to build or at least do some decorating, but between bus trip, being sick and this finishing i'm pooped lol.

you can lock down notifications on the discord pretty easily, by whole server or individual channels on a server, just so you know the next time one beeps mercilessly at you. i belong to a few servers where i literally only get @mentions from a single channel in it or i'd go bat♥♥♥♥ebonkers.

No problem, miss your feedback is all. You guys and Gup are incredibly lucky to have help. It's a one man show here. I do the modding, xml, icons, rwg, assets, modeling etc all by myself. If there is one thing I have learned in all of that is not many people have experience with this sort of modding. Hopefully in 17 when the Pimps open up modding more in general we get more people jumping in and we can get the relief we desperately need. My testing team has been amazing with the hours put in though, so no slight to them. But they aren't coders or modders so all of that is left entirely on me.

 
I WANT to love this mod so much, because I did get a taste of it. I want to contribute to its upkeep and development and I want to shout it from the rooftops because this really IS a great mod. A really great mod. Thing is, about 15 minutes in, the game begins to drag its feet and finally crash. I know I only have an HP Workstation (Elitebook 8540W) with 8GB - an ageing setup with an ageing Nvidia Quadro - but I'm pretty sure it should run OK. I already have (and am used to) having most graphics settings bottomed out, so it seems to be leaking memory someplace. I hope you can find out what ails me, because this is such a fantastic mod, that adds such a lot to the immersion/ambience, as well as a ♥♥♥♥load of content. I'd recommend that if you haven't already done so, give this mod a try right now. I hope it works OK for you, and if it does I'll be madly jealous - but happy for you. A great mod that needs a tweak here and there. Fix it and you have an additional tenner from me, for sure.

 
And you do it in an i3? Nice. =)

Indeed...and no it's not nice. Not nice at all :D

Thank you for the very very kind words. Im sorry you struggle so much with it. I wish I could somehow maximize it to work on systems like that. It is recommended to have at least 8 gigs if not more. 16 would be more ideal. I can squeak sit out on my system somehow. I cant even begin to imagine how. I did do a lot of texture and asset optimizing for 3.0 so here is hoping that does the trick for you.

 
From the Wiki:

Scavenger (0): Easiest setting designed for noobs. - Easiest

Adventurer (1): Not just a new recruit any more. - Easy

Nomad (2): Designed for experienced FPS players. - Normal

Warrior (3): Now you're starting to impress. - Hard

Survivalist (4): Kids don't try this at home! - Harder

Insane (5): You're one brave Mother! - Hardest

Note: The serverconfig.xml file uses the numbers 0-5 (easiest to hardest) to determine difficulty. When viewing servers in the MP server browser, it uses the numbers 1-6 (easiest to hardest).

 
I know what goes into this stuff, and I know I'll be able to fully enjoy it once I upgrade my setup. Thanks for a quick reply, and please, keep up the great work.

Well .. I play ALL my 7D2D games set at Survivalist to start with and I'm an Old Gamer of 72 ..... And normally leave it there for all play-thru .. So far I've only had to turn it down once since A15 and I think that was for Starvation mod ... but also I stopped playing it because it just didn't work that well for my game style.

Ravenhearst .. is a hard game at that setting .. but a lot of Fun and done well.

So .. Have Fun and Enjoy ......... the Old Gamer .. :02.47-tranquillity:

 
On my 2nd playthrough and just beginning a larger base. Could use some ideas for organizing the crafting room/s if anyone cares to share their setup.

Basically trying to set stations up so it not only looks good, but the most frequently used ones are within reach without a lot of moving about.

Did have a "doh!" moment when I realized that we can place multiple bedrolls down to gain the 'Resting' buff in multiple locations, so plan to leverage that a bit.

Also I'm struggling to find books. Map only has a couple Poopy Pants close by. There is a Crack tower a couple towns over, but other than that not much. I know the double gabled new house poi w door in the middle & workstation in attic has 6 bookshelves in a small rm and a couple more in bedroom. Are there any other new pois with a decent number of bookshelves?

Well, older than me by a bit but still gives me hope that I can still game in the future.

Hoping we bump into each other on a server gpcstargate when I turn 72...

 
Hello JaxTeller718, I love your mod, some approximate date for v3.0? sorry for my English

DATE? you want a DATE?

WTF have you people not learned ANYTHING from asking TFP for dates?!?!?!

JESUS!!!!!!!

Ok

Ravenhearst 3.0 is currently in its final weekend of testing. Major balancing is over, we are currently adding as many models as we can and tuning loot. So what does this mean?

Barring any show stoppers preview copies will be going out next week (the week of the 11th) for a handful of recorders and streamers. Those streamers will get the week to record and stream a preview of RH 3.0. Those streamers will be announced here shortly.

After the preview weekend, we will be taking a look at the additional feedback. We are currently expecting a release date of March 23rd. This is NOT set in 100 percent stone but looking VERY good. (This means it can be a few days late if anything horrific happens but ALSO if NOTHING is found it can be a few days EARLIER too :) )

Stay tuned throughout the next 2 weeks for patch notes, previews and guides to be released. A reminder to backup your copies of 2.2 now, because when 3.0 releases it WILL require a full wipe and 2.2 links will be replaced by 3.0 ones. You have been warned.

The HYPE TRAIN is now boarding ladies and gents! ALL ABOARD!!!
