ALo

take a look at my changes here. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/vhwlflxh9iovfinv6pndv/PaLoALo-Wyr3d-Not-Just-a-Cosmetic-A21.zip?rlkey=vvv1ma81djmaq35220200s76d&dl=0

been awhile since i looked at that. i never did get Standard Pace working for me. im personally using not just imbalanced perks (works fine) and not just a cosmetic. the latter i made some significant changes to, if you are interested i can post them on dropbox. I basically added more stuff to the UI info, and made the cigar give a buying bonus and the facial piercings a selling bonus (since the vanilla method left them both doing the same thing). looks good and makes more sense now i think.

continuing my comment above, I have even noticed this effect on startup. i set cvar log values so i could watch what was going on and i noticed the values load 3x on startup. they load once normally, then reload again for no reason and its an additive value, then they reload a third time from zero (so normally again). However when i enter or leave a vehicle that same reloading of values occurs and it causes an additive affect to occur on my cvar values. Its really odd and i cant see anything that would point to what is causing it. Any ideas? or how to protect against it?

hi, ive noticed some odd behaviour around vehicles in A21. Tags seem to be ignored and cvar values get increased for no apparent reason. I wrote a mod for my server and it uses the vanilla hazmat suit. however when i enter or exit a vehicle my cvar value for tracking the worn items keeps increasing by 100%. any idea what could be happening with vehicles? its like the game decides to recalculate the player properties like a player reload or respawn.

i see it has been asked before, but it's been awhile and im hoping there's an easy answer to this question... is there a blanket way to lower spawn rates of npc's ? i assume i could manually edit the entire entitygroups file and reduce them from say .15 to .01 and that would probably work, but im hoping for a method that doesnt involve changing a 100 lines of code individually. the reason im asking is because i used to have lots of zombies in my world, but now with the npc's running amok everywhere and wiping out all the zeds my world is looking pretty empty. if there's another idea like making npc's non-aggressive unless attacked that would also be a start in the right direction.

Not Just the Standard Pace. i cant say if its affecting all terrain, but i did notice that i cannot sprint in Desert biome. burnt forest and wasteland seemed okay. i did notice the stutter mentioned above when in the Snow biome. what i can say is i personally have not noticed any difference in movement speed nor do i see the property name "MovementFactor" in the vanilla code in A21.2.

make sure there's no spaces in the name value or it will error. use an underscore if you need to. the others dont seem to matter.

following up, i re-installed everything both server and client and it seems to be all working well. no more errors or warnings in logs. i did find lots of duplicate entries along the way in QoL mods. As for the pathing change from A20 to A21 i ended up leaving the entityclasses files alone, and only changed the items.xml files where needed. that got rid of the last issues i had. so im chalking it up to a too-busy admin who likes to tinker and ofc user error on my part.

@BFT2020 the problem im seeing in a lot of mods is something you mentioned here and if this is the issue (which i think it is) then its all of IZY's mods and quite a few others certainly any that add prefabs to the game. im testing with "fixing" their files to see if it works and so far in single player no problem at all, but in dedi server im running into an issue. it might be my interpration of how to correct the entries. for example, would this be correct? <property name="Explosion.ParticleIndex" value="@modfolder:Resources/IZY_Explosion_Cparticles.unity3d/IZY_Explosion_Frags_Small.Prefab"/> ... or do i need to put @:modfolder:Resources/.... because it originally was #@modfolder:Resources/... ???

the 556 pack is the only one i am having trouble with and im not sure why. i tested it in single player and it works fine. im going to reinstall the server files and test again. the 762 pack works fine on server and client. this is likely just some user error on my part and i am not seeing what ive done wrong.

server 1st and client 2nd as you can see they are identical. still getting errors on clients so i will check to make sure they all have it exactly like this. i am still getting this type error for every wpn in the 556 pack. not for the 762 pack though. 2023-09-11T22:59:11 86.470 ERR Loading AssetBundle "E:/Steam/steamapps/common/7 Days To Die/7DaysToDie_Data/../Data/Bundles/@modfolder(5.56 wpns pack):Resources/AmeliMG.unity3d" failed: Parent folder not found!

tested it again today, maybe found my issue. i didnt have IZVMM on my server or client. but other people playing have it in their client folder and havent seen any issues so far. so im put izvmm on my server and client and and then see. also would like to attach a log file but .txt isnt allowed lol? the client log is pretty messy which it wasnt before i loaded up izvmm. its not loading any of the wpns bc it cant find the parent folder? 2023-09-11T15:52:26 66.865 ERR Loading AssetBundle "C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Roaming/7DaysToDie/Mods\A21_Izayo_Visible_Mods_mod/Resources/CAR15XM177.unity3d" failed: Parent folder not found! and then this: 2023-09-11T15:53:00 100.693 ERR Loading AssetBundle "C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Roaming/7DaysToDie/Mods\A21_Izayo_Visible_Mods_mod/Resources/SOCmk1.unity3d" failed: Parent folder not found! 2023-09-11T15:53:00 100.694 ERR Transform 'Attachments' not found in weapon prefab for leather(Clone).

sounds good! ive never really finished a full playthrough of the game. nor have i played vanilla more than for a few mins lol. i also have little modding exp but i took a look at your mod and hacked it up pretty good enough to get the parts working that i wanted. a lot of stuff has been added to the game by tfp so its just not needed anymore. it took me about a day to go through the vanilla files and compare what "item" names had changed, which features were now part of the base game, etc, so i knew what to cut out. just so you know im only using it for personal use on my own private server with friends. if thats not okay let me know right away. and if its okay and you want to see what ive done then i can share it.

thank you!

izayo, i made my own localization file (english) for both the 556 and 762 packs which have more info. idk if your file even worked i cant remember. anyway, they are here... https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/r9cw7fs3zi6kdbqk72xvf/IZY-localization-files.zip?rlkey=smxo9cp0zqhm5u21u0f15mdqy&dl=0 also, i seem to have a problem (server setup) with one of the guns. it errors whenever i select it and then turns into a simple block piece. iirc its the car15, but i will double check it and try to get a log for you.
