Thought I'd make a single post for all my modlets that work on A19. Basically it's all the various A18 ones, tested and adjusted if necessary to make sure they work on A19. There's also a few new ones that I thought folks might like. All of these are XML only. Enjoy. 3 Slot Forge - Adds an extra input slot to the forge and moves the UI around a little so there's no window overlap. 12 Slot Crafting Queue - Increases the crafting queue from 4 slots to 12. Scrap everything! 60 Slot Backpack - Pretty self explanitory. 60 Slot Backpack (with Food/Water bars) - As a

Survivors, Avoiders, and Maniacs! Since a lot of people are sitting at home and are looking to kill some time, we would like to offer you guys a chance to bite A19's bugs before they even arrive on EXP. You will need to be able to communicate in english. Broken, fluid, native speaker, avid learner, as long as you can describe an issue, you are fine, fear not. Builds are coming regularly, having to start over up to several times a day should not be an issue, if you are interested. For communication we will provide a discord server where you can report bugs, talk to other peo

Welcome to the Alpha 20 Dev Diary. Here we will discuss upcoming features for Alpha 20. Alpha 20 Dev Stream Videos 1) Alpha 20 First Look with Prime and Madmole October 28th, 2020 2) Alpha 20 Developer Live Stream November 25th, 2020 3) Twitch Integration Demonstration (19.5 but also relevant to A20) Alpha 20/21 Roadmap 1) Unity Update TFP will be working with Unity devs directly 2) Random Generation Update New stamp tech that will allow artist created features such as mountains, hills, rivers, etc. to be placed in biomes. The

A20 NEWS!!!!!!! Started on the water overhaul this week. I'm working on the water chunk data and another programmer will be doing simulation/mesh changes. My plan is water will not be a block, but additional chunk data, which is a pretty big change. It makes more sense, since any block could have water in it while still being whatever block it is.

Hey Everyone! This weekend we have A19.1 b4 for you to have fun with. If you want to continue your A19 b180 savegame, please make a backup, in case there is an incompatibility issue we did not find yet. A19.1 has: We found Tim the Toolman Taylor's toolbelt and gave it to players allowing you to carry 10 instead of 8 slots A fix for the robotic turret freezing games and servers when destroying a block as collateral damage Huge improvement to ladder usage Some new and shiny zombies, one of them with hair physics! Added Player sid

Welcome to the Alpha 19 Dev Diary. As of this time we don't even know what to call Alpha 19. It might be small named updates like "The New Combat Book Update" which could start at "19.0", with the "Vehicle Update" landing on 19.2, etc. What we do know is we're working on some new books, a vehicle update, etc but how and when we roll out what is to be determined. Hopefully it can be several point release patches to get you guys more frequent updates over 6-12 months instead of one big drop in a year. Weapons Update All weapon types will have 3 tiers. (eg: Wood Club --> Base

They mostly come out at night... (V3.4) This is a mod I originally created to fix a few "issues" myself, my wife and some friends felt the game had. Turns out I really enjoy modding so I've expanded on it quite a bit. The intent is to drag out the early game, so it will take you longer than usual to get to Iron and Steel. I've also tried to inject a little realism by locking away quite a few recipes behind perks, since most normal folks wouldn't know how to do/make those things. Also, I started playing in Alpha 8, so I wanted to try and bring back a few

A19 b177 will come to EXP soon. Here is what to expect: B174-b177 Added Office chair update Writable Storage Box Insecure to match textures when Writable Storage Box is downgraded New gun fire effects for weapons that had been sharing with others Missing tooltip for buffArmSplintedTooltip Added new icons for new inventory management buttons Create digging animation for crawlers Rusted Metal Roof Material "gfx texlimit" console command Move items buttons for containers<>inventory Added remnant

I have made a lot of data changes and code cleanup for water, but it looks exactly the same at this point, so nothing new to show currently. I am taking a break from water and have spent the last few work days deleting old shaders (50+) and related files (old mats/images/prefabs/code) and renaming shaders into proper Game/ categories. Shaders are a big chunk of the game's build time and many of the deleted ones were being included in the build.

I added a new round arch shape today

TL-DR: I already expect over half you people to go "Get Gud Scrub" But seeing as Ive been playing this game for THOUSANDS of Hours, you can go F$%k Right off. Ive enjoyed this game since EARLY Alphas and Ive never honestly felt this terrible about the game. Even the alpha 17 update didnt make me feel this terrible about playing a game Ive LOVED. Early Game Play of Alpha 19: Spawns in, does the usual opening missions, scavenges for 20 minutes finding now rare birds feathers to make a buncha arrows. Preps self up to go to war with early zombies with a bow and arrows. Head

*** SEEDS FOR Alpha 19.0 Stable *** Huh... I'd have to spend a lot of time here to do this. I have about 200 different seeds for alpha 19 experimental, half 4k and half 8k. I have previews from all of them publicly available here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ljjksykyenytm3e/AAAh0mf_CBnXW92eVl5i-EF1a?dl=0 To generate and analyse these seeds I use scripts that are freely available here: https://github.com/dcsobral/seedGen All my 8k seeds have 10 traders, all my 4k seeds have 5 traders. To make it easy to figure out what seed you find interesting, I've added som

No you guys are not players, you are back seat designers who want a grindy complicated sharp stick fest (well most of you anyway). Players are guys who just bought the game today, and maybe guys who play 20 or 100 hours. You guys are obsessed and have 5000 hours and because of that you want more and more challenge. If you could mind wipe you would just get in and enjoy the game more now than ever but because you are tainted with 18 alphas that cannot be undone. I think the game is way way way way way too easy. But I have 15000 hours so I cannot take my experience and pass that on to a new play

I've found a client-side workaround for this AI problem that could save the development team a huge amount of time that could be spent elsewhere; Start a game as normal - any difficulty setting will do. Build a base as you normally would. The materials you use don't matter. Now, and I stress that you need to follow this next part EXACTLY, otherwise the AI fix won't work; Don't build exploits in your base If you follow these steps, you should find that the AI pathing issues resolve themselves and you get the survival experience you're looking for.

Hello! A19.3 b3 is coming to EXP! Please as always start a new game and or make a backup of your stable savegame. With A19.3 we bring you: Better network package security A fix for SI exploits Have a good weekend everyone! A19.3 b3 Added Network layer encryption Connection rate limit More feedback for clients on why they are not allowed to connect Message on the client when they got disconnected because the server is shutting down Changed Improved supply plane drawing Rep

Do you know that this is a team with many different skill sets, like pretty much every game team? Most people on the team can't fix FPS issues, so they do spent their time working on their "stupid" stuff. FPS issues don't have an "I Win" button you can press to make it all better. It takes lots of time to analyze performance and find bottlenecks, which then often have no easy fix, but to rewrite and retest something, which often results in minimal gains. Features have maximum limits at which they can be optimized to run. I've actually been spending half my time the last

MM, add this block shape please. This shape is sorely lacking when you make walls from plates. Thanks. Guys, leave a like if you support the request 👍

My semi legit castle:

This is in afaik, and will allow for distant chunks to show changes, like player bases, or building and terrain blown up. It still needs tested and verified, and might get disabled if its too slow or buggy, but hopefully launches in A20 as I think it will be a nice touch and seeing your base in the distance will be awesome.

I thought the deco writes were 0 as the log says, so it was confusing what was going on, but it turns out the list is cleared before the log happens, so it is writing out, in a 8k world, about 71000 entries, totally over 1 MB. Tried on my HD, but still not horribly slow, then on a flash drive, which gave a 7 second write time! The save timer is every minute, but there is a dirty check, so it does not always do the save. The deco save code was changed a few months ago by another programmer to fix a problem with old saves, so it might have been only doing partial saves before, but si

Hey guys! Small correction patch coming up! Changelog b5-b8 Added Ambulance, Mopower and working stiff service trucks Changed Removed simple rotations from POI decoration hubcapNoMine Fixed Toolbelt slots 9&10 do not have localization Exchanged Feral Hawaiian with old model

Happy Friday Everybody! Since so many cool castles have been shared recently, I figured I would try my hand at making one finally. Although its still a work in progress I wanted to share what I have so far. @madmole Used your tower design for my round towers. This castle is inspired by Chillon Castle in Switzerland.

Due to changes to sleeper volumes it is recommended to start over. If you do not, you may experience a POI flagged as clear before you cleared all volumes. b170-b173 Changelog: Added Localization updated for destroyed concrete material Setup xml, localization, and icons for Gas Pump Remake Updated localization for Wild West Coffin helper Setup xml and localization for Bleachers Set Destroyed concrete material "gfx graph tex mem" and "gfx graph tex stream" console commands "gfx st reduction" console command "gf

One of my favorite aspects of the game in recent alphas is how they took the focus off of the player as the center of the universe. You can see a horde and they aren't walking straight at you. Details like this really make you feel part of the world rather than that feeling that the world was created for you. Here is a small clip of Alpha 19 I was allowed to share. It shows a bit of the new music and there is this point where you can see what I'm talking about where you aren't the focus of the world. You might catch sight of one of the new zombies as well..

NitroGen, This is a random world generator. It will create customizable random worlds for 7DtD. Configure your own personal world.. You can select: -type of landscape (currently included are Forests, Alpine Mountains, Canyon Desert, Rocky Hills) -the number and size of cities and towns -the general number of POIs and smaller settlements (Farms, trailerparks, old western towns, etc) -4k, 8k, 16k (experimental) or custom dimension maps -the player start positions (far away, close to towns or random) -the number and position of traders (close to citi

It's entirely different. All the shapes are in categories now, and unified no matter what material you are building with. So if I want wedge 60, it's always in the exact same category and same position regardless of if I'm building with wood/stone/concrete/steel/cloth etc. All shapes now exist in every material and are in the exact same menu location when using a different material helper. You can build steel tables if you want or cloth tables, we don't care. Having a powerful build system you can get creative with is better than using realism to determine what you can and can't make. Th

Fair enough, but I'd like to state the obvious... console gamers have MUCH lower expectations than PC gamers, as they are an inferior species. 😃

Thanks for your input. It has been received and taken under advisement. There is no further need to talk about this as the proper people who needed to see your feedback have seen it and will make their decision on the artistic representation of the zombies as well as the relative strengths and weaknesses between zombie types. Further discussion of how race, gender, ethnicity, sexual preference, religion, political persuasion, etc are represented or under-represented or over-represented in the game shall be considered political discussion and dealt with under that rule. Leave it and

As always we suggest you start over with this new build. Have fun with this one! Changelog for A19 b179 + b180 Added Utility_celltower_02 Allow the freezing of AI animations within the game (ctrl-num* toggles) Add chunk boundary markers (shift-num+ toggles) Changed Worlds' splat maps support PNG again to reduce world sizes Replaced collider and shadow caster on car parts ramp 40 prefab materials to use the crossfade shader 100 block entities to consistent LOD culling heights Top tier foods sell for

If that's a single player game then you are the one and only authority on what constitutes cheese. Or milk. Or vegetables.

Hey guys! For this weekend we have A19 b178 for you! We here at TFP wish you a great and enjoyable weekend! A19 b178 Changelog Added High quality water depth transparency and improved edge transparency, edge foam, waves and undulations Changed Changed: Improved Low quality water transparency, waves and smoothness Fixed Container buttons on vehicle in different order than loot container / backpack Spear no longer flys slowly Low quality water was drawn too high in the world burntWoodBlock4 unpaintable Iron and Steel

Changelog for b155, b156 and b157: Added Added GameSparks opt-out option to game launcher Changed Demoted exception to error (no console popup) when country can not be retrieved Barrels are containers. Neon "Open" sign emits light now Loot probability templates normalised to 1 to make them usable in more situations White River Citizen quest now shows "No Trader", if no trader is in the world Added Item Type Icon to workstation tools. Fixed Blade and turret traps no longer cause standing AI for the client owners

Here you go pepsi man. https://captiongenerator.com/1844062/A19-is-not-out-yet

This was a fun feature to do and took less than a day: Added AI head tracking to movement or target positions.

My favorite feature so far is the fact I can switch the editor to release mode, which produces optimized assembly code, but I can still run the profiler on it. That means I get the same timings I would get with a full build, which takes my PC about 6 minutes to make, so I don't. I've been spending a lot of time optimizing and cleanup up lately, so a very nice feature. I just finished this one, which is a big win: Optimized terrain control textures to not update with every mesh update. Those peaked at 2ms spikes on my PC, on several frames, when new chunks load, adding to

I am testing Unity 2020.2 currently. Only needed 3 code changes. Seems fine and is supposed to have some performance improvements. Feels a bit faster. 2020.3 (LTS) is supposed to be out soon, so A20 should end up being on that.

Hello everyone! A19.3 b6 is going stable today. We have improved the network package protection enabled Christmas items again for the time being, so get your candy canes and santa hats! fixed the toolbelt so slot 9 and 10 can use challenges notes now TFP wishes every single one of you Merry Christmas and a great start into 2021! A19.3 Changelog Added Network layer encryption Connection rate limit More feedback on clients on why they are not allowed to connect Message on the client when they

If scheduling is proving so hard, why not let the community help out with the baby sitting, errand running, and cleaning? Surely there is some calendar or spreadsheet that can be released, or some projected date that we can help brainstorm around.

Hello! A19.2 b3 is coming to EXP! Please as always start a new game and or make a backup of your stable savegame. With A19.2 we enabled Steel Series's game sense feature, allowing Steel Series Mouse and keyboard users to have some ingame events tied to their hardware LED lights. We currently support (default settings): Time Progression: F1-F12 Ammo: 1-0 Health: Q-P Bloodmoon Warning: A-L Visibility Meter: CTRL - ~ Tool / Weapon Durability: Num - - Player Facing Direction: numpad 1-9 Bleeding: Del-Pause

Note: There is a chance that character progression will be reset, if you continue a savegame from b163, due to a change. As always we recommend starting over with a new savegame during experimental.. Changelog for b164-b169 Added Option to change size of FPS display Old Wild West Coffins Tough Guy Sunglasses that boost your fortitude. Found in loot and for sale at traders Allow XUi list ComboBoxes to be initialised with ints/floats from XML Allow enabling/disabling XUi SimpleButtons from XML/bindings Allow XUi controll

This is what I'm testing now which will be in the next build unless I change it again: Changed: All small game (rabbits and chickens) and large game (boars, and deer) spawn every day or night at any time. Small game has a high chance to spawn, large game has a low chance to spawn. Large Predator animals such as bears and dire wolves only spawn at night in the forests. Wolves have a very small chance to spawn in forests during the day Changed: Enemy respawn time is reduced in the wasteland. At night, Zombies will respawn immediately, making the wasteland harder to survive

BTW guys, just because the trader doesn't give you a dig quest right away doesn't mean there isn't any viable spots in the area, it is random. The next day there might be dig quests available. Yikes, I haven't seen ANY of that, that looks pretty bad. FYI, RWG will be a strike teams top focus for A20. We're going to give Robert all the support he needs to get it shippable once and for all. Closer quest POIs will be part of that improvement as well as fixing roads and issues like this.

Welcome! This will be the main place I post about new modlets for alpha 19. If a mod is labeled as requires restart, it means you will need to either make a whole new RWG world, or just a new world with the RWG you have now. I will also be posting in the thread title when new mods have been added. Mods will have the latest update in blue just below their names with a short description of what was updated and the date. [---If you have any ideas you'd like me to try and create, leave a comment with it. No promises, but I might be interested in trying some of them.---]

Not yet, but we do have some stuff in the works. I've been doing a lot of cleanup in the chunk system, so some moderate gains there and fixed some mesh/material leaks, but there is plenty more to do. Today I worked on improving the chunk mesh LOD update (really just hides meshes). Chunk decals/models now dither out, so I can reduce the ranges they get hidden at while having no popping. Yesterday I added the xml for the burnt feral zombie, which has the flames. He is tougher and faster than the normal one.

ahoi hoi survivalists Please click the following link to go to continuing development of this mod:

Some will be very similar to the original like the screamer and fat cop. Spider looks a little more monstrous now and slightly mutated. The screamer has more of a witch look to her and her mouth hinges very wide and has a glasgow smile and rows of sharp teeth, black eyes, etc. There is a radiated zombie with tumors all over his back like the hump back of notre dame almost and he can tear one off and throw it at players causing radiation damage and several others we can reveal as they progress. We are still working on visual design though so things can change some as we work through the iterati

Nope. If anything this virus has taught me is that people are stupid AF and run around with no mask or regard for it. They would be killed by zombies for sure, the remaining would pvp kill each other or run out of ammo killing each other, then die from zombies. Then the proper survivors who were able to show restraint during covid would be all that remains, and they would certainly be playing coop because they were smart and realize working together with smart people is the only way to succeed, just like in business.

Changelog for b158-b163 Added Writable Storage Box American Flag Version Flagpole Chair versions of plaid and leather sectional couches. Player stats UI shows values using tags if set Night is darker when the moon is not full Add POI name to dbs command screenshots Boars, coyotes, dogs, mountain lions and wolves can attack while moving forward Changed Items that cure a condition show 100% instead of an unspecified amount Updating steel club icon to match mesh changes Zombie bears drop testosterone extract

Progress on my medieval style house:

I will take the blame for sharing my enthusiasm with the fans. Some TFP members agreed a shorter cycle was a great idea in principal so I said that on the forums, but nobody wanted to do the graphics overhaul in a side branch or to deal with merging 3-4 months later so we just did the work and now we are here. Things change so what we intend one month is not the intent the next. Game development isn't flipping burgers, nobody can predict how long something will take. I can predict that 19 will take much less time than 18 did, and 18 took less than 17 so things are getting better. We should
