True Survival

I tried what daydark said... Without success. My understanding is that the mod and the game are currently in an unstable state which may requires:

1 - A specific install order. Starting from scratch does not work for me. So I suspect perhaps one needs to start with 16.0 then 16.1 then 16.2 then 16.3 then back to 16.2... Files are missing otherwise as stated by Deven in the first post of the previous page. I can confirm this. Steam "validation" does not download the missing file.

2 - Using the "manual" SP/MP version of the files provided by Spider on the first page of this thread does not work. Just extracting the archive over the game files (while respecting structure of course) cause the game to hang while loading the menu stating an error related to "potatoes" and the file "Blocks.xml"

3 - 7D2D Launcher is unstable for me. Version 1.0.3.13 only starts correctly the first time after a fresh install. Further attempts at starting does nothing. Cursor flash briefly and the app do not load. To fix it, I have to uninstall and reinstall it. Then repeat this process...

4 - The "manual" version of 7D2D Launcher provided by the third option on the app thread is an older version (1.0.2.x). This version can be run without problem on my system (closing and restarting) but attempting the install the mod with it does not work: It download the files then hang there until closed via the task manager. Closing it via the upper right "x" just close the window but the actual process stays active consuming 1 core of processing power until terminated. Attempting to restart the whole process does the same thing.

5 - A specific Windows version. I run Windows 10 64 bit version 1607...

6 - Specific dependencies not provided by the game or 7D2D Launcher.

7 - Specific services not activated by 7D2D Launcher.

8 - Specific files and folders NTFS security permission.

9 - Specific folder structure. For example, everything must be on C drive or in a specific folder possibly without space character in the name and/or no dynamic NTFS links.

All in all, the results are the same: The game either hang while loading the main menu or at "Waiting for server..." and the console pop up with error messages related to "potatoes" and the file "Blocks.xml".

I was able to play once on the test server of True Survival when the latest version of the game was still A16.2.

Vanilla game starts fine though the message in point 1 is still present.

I have hope that the kinks can be fixed in future release of the mod/7D2D Launcher. I give up for now unless someone can come up with a solution in the mean time. I may try other things in the near future but, due to my 1995 internet connection, doing a fresh install of the game with the mods takes a little under 8 hours. Not exactly what I would call simple and fast.

Help needed. I used the launcher (advanced feature) I did make sure to sync the mod. As the game loads I get nonstop missing method exception errors, also messages saying items failed to load, and then I cannot get passed creating player. When the game loads it says it is 16.2 B7 I have EAC disabled. What else should I do?

If you are not already, make sure you are using the mod launcher in the copy mode. It creates a new folder rather than using the default one in the steam folder. That's what I do and i have had no issues.

I am sorry you are having trouble with the mod.

What kind of Anti-virus software do you have?

 
I would like to edit the Minwellness to be 25 and no longer have the dead is dead. Is this an XML edit in this mod as when I look at the Assembly file it looks like the values are still set to the default of 70

 
I would recommend to everyone to use the Mod Launcher to install the mod. The Mod has a lot of files now that go in a lot of places and missing or miss placing one file will make it not work. I have confirmed the Launcher loads the mod correctly and many many others are using it without issue.

I will not be giving instructions on how to change game features for now. I just spent a long time getting all that to work and I'm not interested in taking more time to explain to you how to undo it. I'm not going to stop you or complain if your doing it have at it that's why i released the files, I will even tell you if you haven't figured it out after its been out a while but for now I would like people to try it as prepared unless they have the know how to change it themselves.

 
Enjoying the new version of the mod!

Here are a couple things i found that need fixing in recipe or skill descriptions:

Research Table: Profession Page : the description says you need 20 pages but you only really need 10 (these are the scrapped skillbook pages)

Skills : Science/Engineering : Woodbuilding : The description says you learn nails/planks at level 10 but the quest chain only has 3 levels to complete and you learn the nails/planks recipes when the 3rd one is finished.

On a separate note: I started three different games in single player and in every game i had a buzzard attacking me before i could even get my profession chosen. Two of those games also had NPC/Bandit's attacking me in the first couple minutes. Maybe i just got really unlucky in the random gen but this seems pretty harsh if it were to happen to someone completely new to the mod.

You're shifting the blame repeatedly from yourself to the mod. Everyone else who followed the install instructions isn't having any issues.

 
I found that building a workbench uses nails, glue, planks and components, but if you dismantle it with a screwdriver you harvest forged iron among other things.

I also noticed to build minibike components such as seat and handlebars, there are two recipes for each. One seems to be a copy of the other with a few extra ingredients. Not sure if this is a double up or if different recipes apply for different workstations? I haven’t tested it yet and I won’t be able to until later.

Bandits seem to sneak up on me without much sound, more so than Z’s. If that’s intentional, then you certainly have me looking over my shoulder at all times now!

Fun tip: Welder tool makes a great grass harvester. Just point and collect!

I have the same experience, have started couple of times and always few seconds after appearing on the new map I'm chased by the bandit also spitters always hitting me with their spit regardless if i move or not like they have some kind of tracking system witch makes dodging almost impossible also animation seems to be off i cant see spit coming towards me only thing i can see is Bloated Walker getting ready to spit then spit is hitting me.

Spider this mod is very well done and very challenging, thank you very much for creating it.

Hay peps posting blurry images of red errors in game helps no one and tells me nothing. If you want to help, post a link to your output log then I can see what is causing the issue maybe and fix it.

Buzzards only do 2 damage and Bandits cant run.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also if any one knows GitHub and wants to push any bug fixes that they do I will check them and merge them with the Mod files

It was actually very funny. I would advice all that are interested in this mod to have a look at the vod of it.

I only caught the end where he was just blowing stuff up. Has he posted the vid somewhere to watch?

 
Also if anyone likes to do them, I would love a little video on how to install the mod with the launcher. Night help a lot of people. If anyone is interested.
