A patch is coming but if you don't want to wait, join the Ravenhearst discord server (link is on the first page) and there is a single fix just for that

Hey DUST2DEATH. I am using Ravenhearst mod which by default uses your mod. I am seeing much more aliasing than in vanilla. Is this your issue? Also, can I somehow tone down the vibrance or are the textures like that?

Alright, thank you for letting me know. I'll create a new random gen map non nitrogen until you guys fix what you have to fix. I hope it gets fixed fast, the mod seems awesome!!!

I am wondering the same. Can we use Nitrogen? Prefab lists for Ravenhearst over at Nitrogen page are not updated. Do I have to use prefablists generator to make it myself? Thanks

Hey Spider, how's the mod progressing?

It looks great on paper!

I am glad you are back! Can't wait to see what you come up with. So far, Alpha 18 is great. I will get bored after a while so I will definitely use your mod. I am currently playing Navezgane, haven't played it since A13. They still need to rebalance looting/crafting ratio. One thing where you are great and where you should focus (I know you will) is skill/perk tree. Some skills/perks are great, while some are just okay, meh. There should be at least 5 good unique builds. P.S. Can you take a look at NitroGen RWG generator? It creates better RWG maps than InGame RWG does. Could you somehow combine your mod with worlds made in NitroGen RWG generator?

Spider and team, please finish the mod so I can finally play the game, I don't want to play vanilla in it's current state hehe

@Spider There was a guy who reverse engineered 7DTD code for True Survival. Is he still around? If so, you could ask him to help you with the things you think are impossible to create with XML.

I like how you dealt with the starting skills and perks. How is the player then progressing afterwards, leveling and perks? Can he learn almost everything in the very late game or is he restricted to the first 3 things he chose at the start? I am not just talking about single player mode but multiplayer aswell with 3 friends. It would be nice if maybe they could learn everything or almost everything but at a very slow rate. Or maybe even add Talent tree which he unlocks every 15th level... The thing I would really like is to scrap the whole perk system we have right now and use slighty old system while keeping the best things of the new one, so mix of both. Give them the starting roles they want to play but give them the maximum freedom to learn many things they can do in the game but don't make it easy and boring, let it be challenging and fun. My previous post has exactly that

I joined the steam group, but I'll write it here. I agree on mostly every idea you posted so far. One thing I haven't read or maybe I misread is what happens if someone is playing solo or in group of 2 friends? This idea of yours could actually be great when I play with my 5 friends, meaning, everyone must specialize in something and keep making his character better in that field, meaning no one will be the same and we depend on him and vice versa. That same "depending" could be bad. Professions should be fun and challenging by giving players freedom and choice, because that's the main issue players have right now with A17. Again, if you could somehow not lock players in just their field of profession but giving them the choice to be anything they want that would be the best I think. So, TL;DR - Your idea mixed with - Professions making your character unique and immersive/fun/challenging - Not locking perks and progressions just to the profession skill tree but giving freedom to other skill trees. (Improve faster and better on the perks linked with that profession, improve slower on other skill trees linked with other professions. Maybe even have small handicaps/penalties when they start learning different skill trees, that way players could learn everything while making them focus on what character they have chosen in the start. I think this is the main idea you should implement. I could describe it more if I am confusing. As you stated, perks for improving fire guns damage/magazine should be scrapped, weapon mods should be used only. Melee weapons should be based on perks + weapon mods. A balance between them. How you have spent the week idea is a nice one, I would like to hear more about it

Hello Spider, good to see you are back! How are you? I haven't yet played A17, but I've been watching Games4Kickz play it. My only concern is the progression. At first A17 seemed challenging, but I soon realised it's not, it's very easy and gets boring really fast. The leveling when you kills zombies is too fast for my taste. Perks need a good overhaul. Item quality is now plain simple and its progression is just bad for me. I want to experience a good in-depth item and character progression. Item mods are nice though. I agree with weapon parts and looting. I always loved your mod the most. I know you will make it more fun, challenging and immersive than vanilla but I would like you to focus more on the character and building/items progression because that's the A17's weakest spot. P.S. It sucks that we can't loot zombies anymore. We should be having fun killing them now with the new melee system, but it's kinda the same after an hour of killing them, just using power attack for 2x times for every zombie... Edit: I found this post "No dying light is a zombie killing game. Call of duty Zombies is a zombie killing game. Dead island is a zombie killing game. Left 4 dead is a zombie killing game. Dead rising is a zombie killing game. OP was pointing out that 7DTD is so much more than that. The beauty of it isn't just killing Zeds, as is the case with others. It should be first and foremost a zombie SURVIVAL game, with crafting and building. It's unique and amazing. Some of us just want to make sure it's uniqueness isn't lost." I want that just that, a true immersive unique challenging fun survival. Zombie killing would be great if it was like in Dying light, but...

Hey Spider When are you going to update the mod to the latest patch that will soon be 16.4? Any ETA?

I am using Win 7. Yes, I am experiencing swapping when I enter the character screen for the first time (B-key). If I don't, it doesn't swap. I know from the sound my HDD makes when I enter the character screen for the first time. Also, every next time I enter the char screen, I get massive freezing until it loads that screen. Only happens there... Dammnit 8 gigs!

Okay, I'll keep an eye on that. For 2 players in Vanilla I am at 7 gigs usage. 3 players or more and it starts to drop frames. I'll more than likely bump it to 12GB. That will be enough for 2 players modded right?
