To all the Russian speaking 7DtD players here on the forum, it's great to have you here. I'd like to remind everyone that this forum is operated and moderated in English out of necessity. Consequently, all posts need to be made in English. If you want, you may post a translation in a second language under the English part of your post, using the spoilers tag. This post demonstrates how we'd like to see dual-language posts. Posts without an English translation are against the rules and may be subject to moderator action.

@cheebsco Did you see the repro I posted above? I can do another if needed. If I may be so bold, this darkness in POIs is pretty important to get fixed for me as a player.

No problem. I'm just glad I didn't come here to find "hey where's ComSenMod for A19" already. 😂

What map are you on? Old maps have had this problem, but it shouldn't happen for maps made for A19.

I'm pleased to report this is fixed for me in b150, likely from this change.

I used the actual PREGEN02. Sorry, I was confused about the status of the pregen maps. I recommend moving this to Not a Bug, on the grounds that the pregen map used is deprecated and "will be replaced before EXP" according to Hated.

Here's a repro case for this issue. Seed: PREGEN02 POI name: oldwest_business_14 Coordinates: (454, 56, -136) Video: I just want to say, this effect could look brilliant if used well. But it should be reversed, so your eyes 'adjust' to see low lighting better indoors and bright lighting better outdoors.

This issue also occurs on Mac in b147:

Just to keep people updated, this still occurs as of b141.

I got the Japanese one. I edited my post, because I didn't want to double post it. But here's that link again: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/623699866

But... embering isn't a bug. Embering is an important feature of ComSenMod! 😜 I kid. Thanks for alerting me about it. It's weird, because they definitely worked when I posted them. I'll be honest: all I did at the time was go to twitch.tv and search for "ComSenMod". Now that I've already made the post, I can't recover the pre-formatted source with the original link. This is a downside of the new forum, which I've written about elsewhere. I was able to find the Japanese one again, so I edited in the non-embedded link. But I can't find the German one now. Perhaps Twitch videos are routinely deleted after a month or something like that?

Okay, comparing schwanz9000's screenshot to what I'm seeing on Mac, I believe operating system doesn't make a difference here. Except reflections off is the only option on Mac, because turning it on makes *all* surfaces black.

Naturally, I'd be delighted if more people did. Google didn't come up with anything for the A18 version, but luckily searching on Twitch did. This German guy plays ComSenMod 5. It's a little slow paced for seeing what's new, as he plays on long days and dies to a dire wolf early on. At 40 minutes in, he discovers you can loot zombies. Another 40 minutes after that, he makes his first campfire. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/623699866 This guy plays in Japanese, with no sound, but he goes through things at a faster pace. I feel terrible that he tried harvesting the wood stove for an ember and it didn't work; that's on my list now for the next version. As for an English Let's Play of the latest version... you could be the first!

I would need to see the log file with the errors. But in general, if ComSenMod and another mod aren't playing nice with each other (and this is relevant to your question too, @CheekiBreeki), loot.xml is the most likely conflict. ComSenMod makes so many changes to loot, it effectively has to overwrite the original file. So Farm Life could be built on certain assumptions about what's in the loot.xml file that aren't true with ComSenMod. However, ComSenMod is a 'clean' mod that does everything possible with xpath syntax. That means you just take ComSenMod out of your mods folder, and restore your localization.txt file, and ComSenMod should be safely uninstalled no matter what else you are or aren't using.

Are you trying to find people to play with, but pickings around here are slim for the moment? Try the Steam forum, too. There's a Meeting Room section that's generally as or more active than the official forum. https://steamcommunity.com/app/251570/discussions/6/

I was playing on high settings, except that reflections are off due to a known issue. I tried adjusting each video setting on the display and quality tabs. Setting view distance to "low" made the issue appear at at different distance. For all other video settings, the issue still occurs and is unaffected.

Note a fix for this may also fix this bug at the same time:

This is likely the same issue as in these reports.

Follow the repro steps in order, please. The issue occurs when trying to place a block next to the lockers after they've been placed, not when trying to first place the lockers.

No, but it seeks to make encumbrance less annoying in a different way. In vanilla, you clutter your inventory with nearly useless quantities of items. You can’t do hardly anything with one nail you find in loot. But in ComSenMod, if you find something, it’s generally enough to potentially change the narrative of your game. This change is comprehensive, applying to 25 different items or kinds of items in loot. Since you say you’re pretty new, it’s also worth mentioning that you can completely eliminate the encumbrance penalty in the vanilla game between pocket mods on clothes and the Pack Mule skill. If that’s not good enough, you should be able to install an encumbrance mod alongside ComSenMod without issue, since I don’t touch encumbrance directly. I hope that helps.

What I like the most about this story is that you tried something you intuitively thought would work (get an ember from an ember pile), and it did. That's what ComSenMod is all about. Encountering the bear at that place and time is unchanged. However, compared to vanilla you were a little less hosed with the extra bandages, and had you killed the bear, you would've gotten more XP for the sake of balance. Whoa, when did that happen? That's cool! I'll have to remember that for the next release. I'd be happy to streamline the file structure a little.

Sounds like you have experience patching mods together! You've got the right idea. If you need loot container 217 for something else, then you'll need to A. reassign that entry a different ID in loot.xml (line 4521); and B. point to that new ID for the LootListOnDeath property in entityclasses.xml (line 349). ComSenMod defines a new block of lootcontainer IDs, starting at 200 and going up to as many as I need: currently 227.

This issue also occurs for me.

The White River Supplies also use an old, low res item icon.

The non attack is because the flashlight has no Action1 definition in items.xml. Since it has an Action0 definition, I believe attacks are still intended to work.
