Ravenhearst Mod

It looks fine in the xml... then again, I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for that's out of place.
Deleted game mod from ModLauncher (I even uninstalled all of modlauncher and then reinstalled it just in case). Load everything back up, and then load up my saved game.

Once I load in, I'm in an empty biome. Walk around a little bit just fine, but once the game tries to spawn some zombies, I get all kinds of errors. This makes me think it's a general spawning issue and not necessarily a WolfGroup specific issue. I don't know what's going on at this point - I have exceeded my programming and debugging skillset, unfortunately.

More snippets of my output file mainly to show that it's not just WolfGroup

I'm not really familiar with "Rave" and how they have everything set up, I was giving you the 2 main goto files to look in.. I know they have a discord set up and it might be your best option since everything can gone through on the spot. It kinda looks like, just from what you posted, its that you may have an entity issue of some type. Could be in the entityclasses.xml could be entitygroups.xm or could be gamestages.xml. Or it could just be you have some files that didn't take when you d/l it and all that.

I would probably jump on their discord and see if they are around, so you can get someone to go through it faster and on the spot. :)

Hope it works out for you!

 
Arrow Sponges...

I'm on day 2 as an Archer, and I feel like it's taking way too many arrows to down simple zombies and animals. 3-4 head shots with the lvl 300 Xbow + Iron Bolts to down a boar seems a bit much. Similarly, the lvl 50 wooden bow takes 4 head shots to get blue-shirted zombie down and then another in the head on the ground to finish. Considering the difficulty involved with gathering resources in the first few days and the number of zeds you must re-murder in order to boost your skill, (and the fact that there is no more Robin Hood perk) I think that the HP of zombies is set too high on Nomad difficulty. As someone posted earlier, it has gotten to the point where the situation is no longer simply 'rough survival' but a slog. I don't feel like dealing with zombies, and I just avoid them all. From an immersion point of view, if the skill my character has put all their stock into is so weak, even with lvl 300 gear and tier 2 ammo, what's the point in fighting? Moreover, what in the name of Moses am I gonna do come horde night?!

Time is the #1 enemy, and as it stands, that time is better spent running and trying to scavenge for stuff. I know I'm probably in the minority, and Ravenhearst has always been a very slow-burn in terms of progression, but for people like me who thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of 2.2, I think the time-to-kill for zombies has become a bit high.

Needless to say, despite my criticism, I think this is an amazing mod and appreciate all the hard work that Jax and his "team" have put into the game. I hope that you guys continue to do what you do best, which seems to be making my life harder than I thought it needed to be :fat:

 
You'll need to remove every instance of the two corresponding two zombies ("zombieScared" and "zombieCuriousGeorge") from the spawn lists.
You could also simply change the probabilities to 0.

(e.g. in entitygroups.xml, change

<entity name="zombieScared" prob="0.05"/>


<entity name="zombieCuriousGeorge" prob="0.01"/>




to

<entity name="zombieScared" prob="0"/>


<entity name="zombieCuriousGeorge" prob="0"/>




You'll want to use an editor and search function, and there are multiple occurrences.

Also, if I'm haven't said as much earlier, I'm already enjoying 3.0 more than 2.2. Thanks for your work, Jax.

many thanks for your quick and detailed help. and please let me join you in thanking Jax and his creative team for all their work

 
I was killed day 1 by a pig. Not a boar. Or a wolf. A pig.

Man I love this mod!

P.S. I won't spoil this, but kudos to whoever created the jumpscares in certain bathrooms. ;-)

 
Not sure if anyone else has had similar issues, But i am getting some pretty big hang ups with the game freezing and the fps dropping crazy low.. Its definitely not PC specs, thinking it might be something stupid.. Thanks in advance.

First big thank you to everyone for replying they are enjoying it. I see there are still some nagging issues. I will be working very hard to get all of these cleared up.

The FPS hits can be attributed to 3 HUGE pois that we added. They are being removed in the next update (not sure when but it wont be for at least a week) and since removing them our server has run better. We got overzealous with some very cool POIs but did not foresee that with the additional zeds and models that these would cause huge issues.

We are also getting the no valid sleepers messages and have been for a while but it is VERy hard to track down exactly what is causing it. Sometimes we run fine, then others we see that message. With so many outsourced pois my fear is someone place sleepers incorrectly somewhere. If anyone can dig further into those errors we would DEEPLY appreciate it so we can get that cleared up.

I will answer much more tomorrow.

 
If I come across any of the invalid sleeper POI messages, I'll try to grab screenshots of what POI I'm near.

Should help track down the issue.

Ive looked over gamestages and entitygroups and cant find anything wrong in there :( Everything positioned and spelled correctly. I will keep digging. I a very sorry this is occurring.

Thank you so much. Very much appreciated.

 
Just saw what you quoted.

You can't spawn most non-zombie entites with either the sleepers, wandering hordes or screamers and that error message says it's spawning from the WolfGroup.

Already tried with wandering bandits and got an NRE. ;)

Thanks for the response, No worries at all its still fun to play. Congrats to all of you on this mod it really is amazing..

 
maybe campfire quest can be triggered before that quest that needs forge?

I know you urge to create complex meals for proper fullness and wellness but charred and boiled meats can provide a bit more fullness imo, simple cooked eggs are better related to them.

Flour icon is missing.

Thanks for this great mod.

 
Couple of things I've spotted. Not sure if one of them is intentional.

BBQ Ribs is missing description on both types (item name is fine, description box is blank).

Ravens/Crows don't count towards "kill any animal" for Advanced Survival, but they do give actual meat rather than rotten meat so I'm assuming they aren't zombies?

 
crashing out using the map previewer

Just wondering if anyone else having issues with it as well. I can't seem to get through any preview with out crashing out even on the smallest preview map.

Charred meat only gives +2 fullness. Not even worth the fuel to cook.
