[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

Excellent job Laz! Looking forward to finding it in game!

 

If you follow the included installation instructions, the prison should be roughly one biome north of the central city. Follow any road heading north and you should find it.

 

I recommend moving the prison farther out if used on a dedicated server with many players.

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

UPDATE TIME!!!!! New version and new video!!! See original post of this thread for details.

 

As always, let me know if you spot any bugs or have any issues with installation. Thank you!

for navesgane i am cluseless havent played navesgane since rwg came out alpha 8 lol.

 

The current version in this thread has the prison configured to spawn as a wilderness POI, unlike the version included in mags compo pack which is configured to spawn via hub_layout.

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

@ JaxTeller718 didn't go either

 

Here are the xml files, would be nice if someone could tell me what i forgot or did wrong.

 

That's what i added in the prefabs.xml:

<prefabs>

.

.

.

.

.

<decoration type="model" name="xcostum_ZombieZoo(by_Wsiegel)a12_v1" position="69, 61, 185" rotation="0" />

<decoration type="model" name="TWDprisonRWG" position="209, 61, 11" rotation="0" />

</prefabs>

But both buildings don't show on the map.

 

Hi Kitty,

 

Sorry for the delayed response. Did you want the prison to spawn in a RWG or Navesgane map? From your xml snippet, it looks like you are trying to do both? I am updating my prison prefab again which will include better spawning (unique in a specific location). Look for the update very soon.

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

Can you please explain to me how the probability parameter works?

 

It seems all a bit odd. tbh I couldn't find a prison at all at first. Then I tried to upper that value, which at a point did influence the spawning of military bases (when setting to 1.0 or simply 1) I had military bases all over the place but not as expected the prison. (also I have enabled it to spawn in other biomes (desert,plains) as well is that not a good idea? In a singleplayer game I managed to find a prison, when simply disabling the other prefabs in that section.

 

The probability of a prefab is dictated by its value in relation to the total prob. Of all prefabs in its group.

 

For example, let's say you have a prefab group called town which contains 4 different prefabs with each set to prob=1. Each prefab will have a 1 out 4 chance (25%) to be selected.

 

If we increase the probability of one of the prefabs to 2 then it will have a 2 out 5 chance (40%) to spawn while the rest will have a 1 out of 5 chance (20%) to spawn.

 

You can allow it to spawn in other biomes but it might look out of place since it's configures with forest grass.

 

Lastly, post your XML code in here if you would like us to take a look.

 

Edit: FYI, I will be creating a custom hub for the prison in the near future to improve how it spawns in the world.

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

Yes - thats exactly the 2 reasons.

I added additional layers under all prefabs I added to the Pack.

Small ones get a basement of stone of 5

Prefabs bigger then 45X45 get a basement of stone of 10 !!!

 

Yes - this is not elegant - but the only way i know to stop the collapsing-problem.

(again: IMO this is a nasty gamebug and I hope TFP will fix that very soon. Also the other Spawning-Issues!)

 

I like ur pyramide-like-edges to make the extra-basement a littlebit more hilly and let it fit better in the landscape.

But if u wanna go 10 deep - the prefab becomes 10blocks bigger in each direction !!!

And not every Prefab should stand on a hill. They have to fit in the natural landscape in future !!

 

But the most important problem with this right now in RWG is the OVERSIZE-PROBLEM ;( !!!

 

 

Just wanted to mention that again

Mag

 

The pyramid fertile grass blocks was actually not to improve stability but because the prison has multi-level exterior terrain. I wanted it to be as close to the real prison that I could make it. I wish we could make elevated organic blocks smooth like how the terrain looks on world generation but sadly we cannot.

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

You could utilise the materials xml. Increase the stability of each block to something ridiculous. This stabilises the building more as well and you can build further with out a support every 2nd block.

 

In regards to your compopack mag realeasing the pack with the extra material xml will then add all the new material/changed material to the dl users game to. Maybe those whom make prefabs can do this to before starting to build. So they use these blocks that use the changed stronger stab stuff.

 

The problem is not stability but the fact that buildings shouldn't be floating over drops in terrain. It just looks......wrong. (lack of a better word). My guess is the general terrain is generated first and the prefabs are inserted afterwards. It would be nice if the developers could somehow update the prefab generation part of their code to analyze the amount of flat terrain is available prior to inserting a prefab. This is most likely harder to implement than it sounds. But one can dream .

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

Ive added it on a fresh wipe and on an already running game and both worked. Although if you use it ona preexisting game you would either have to a) go to regions noone has currently explored yet or b)delete the region files your base isn't in and try it that way. both ways i have had it spawn though, so you should be fine.

 

Edit: I have no idea how to do prefabs yet, but i am starting to play with Hal's editor, so i can make an Alexandria-esqe prefab. Laz how did you make such a big prefab spawn on the ground? instead of floating?

 

Floating prefab issues usually occur because of 1 of 2 reasons.

 

#1 The Yoffset value set in the prefabs xml file is not low enough.

#2 The Prefab's footprint is so large that its edges will hang over lower elevation terrain in RWG. The only way I have been able to overcome this problem is to generate additional layers under the large prefab so even if it goes over lower elevation terrain, the gap is filled. It isn't the most elegant fix but at least will allow the prefab to look somewhat more blended with the terrain.

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

is this compatible with A12.4

It should be but I haven't test it myself.

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

FYI, I plan to replace fence with the new chain link one.

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

Sr you are crazy and awesome in a VERY positve way!!!

May I use your [Prefabs] recipes, weapons and all yor other stuff for my little server?

 

Sure that's what these prefabs are for

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (sorry I have nothing to add beyond my enthusiasm)

 

EDIT: Except to say that your included rwgmixer.xml includes non-vanilla brownstones_01

 

Whoops, thanks for catching that. It is fixed now.

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

Wow! Awesome prison.

Please remind me how to turn off GUI elements (belt, crosshair, etc).

 

I believe it's F7.

 

- - - Updated - - -

 

Heya folks,

 

The original post has been updated with a new version. FYI, the included rwgmixer.xml file is configured to allow the prison to spawn in the forest biome roughly 3% of the time. Enjoy!

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

Hey guys. You looking for an updated version for Nava or RWG?

[Kinyajuu's Bio]

Congrats Kinjayuu and thanks for the bio. Keep up the great work. You guys have heart and it shows!

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

Random Gen funktioniert perfekt :-) Super Arbeit!!!

 

Have you tried the latest version? See link below.

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

Hello survivors! I should be ready to release an updated prison for RWG this weekend.

 

Not only will this update compatibility with A10 but also have added detail.

 

-Populated more rooms for scavenging!

-Replaced all doors!

-Added new blocks (shotgun messiah box, bookcases, etc.)

-Added more block decals! (Blood, newspapers, trash, etc.)

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

I've gotten that warning on this site before for seemingly no reason as well o_o very odd

 

Its because there is a user with the name caleb 68 on this forums. Apparently his name is the same as known malware lol....

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

wait i thought that was just for random, its fo naz also?

 

The file in that pack was updated by the OP of that thread. The only official release I have made available was for alpha 9, navesgane map.

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

Is it possible to manually spawn a POI like this in a random world? I used this on my server for random gen but I just can't seem to find this anywhere. Just too hard to find this. Would love to play with this!

 

I haven't looked at the prefabs.xml after the a10 update but judging from the amount of prefabs in the wilderness. Finding the prison will most likely be a rarity. Once I get back up to speed I will see if there is a way to increase the frequency.

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

laz man this is such a great prefab man. enjoyed clearing it out as well :-) You have done great :-).. Now off you go & build woodbury & terminus lmao :-P haha.. so we can have a true set up of TWD :-D (OFC this is only joking,)

 

:-) great work again

 

Once they add tallow candles...you may see terminus in the future

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

Hey gang, glad there is some interest in this prefab. Planning on updating it but having too much fun playing lately. Will get back on it soon.

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

Yeh took me a bit to get the planes right.. the tanks look crap house lol but for now they do. The truck in my new prefab TonysRanch/tourist stay/honey farm isnt bad either :-). Yeh love trying new things & making new prefabs... Gonna make a castle in the burnt area/wasteland next (esp use the mist/smoke to its advantage to :-) ) Keep up the good prefabs :-)

 

The barrelsmoketest block is awesome. I hope they add more blocks with special effects so we can create more immersive prefabs 😀

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

haha not yet only just c;eared the zombies lol haha.... But loved it. The attention to detail is amazing... Haha yeh woodbury would be a fairly big job. Terminus not so much but still detailing will be a job and a half.

 

Did you look at my prefabs :-). i finished a new one last night :-) I posted pics to

 

Pictures look good. Haven't had time to play much but when I do will check them out. love the airplanes. I love it when people get creative with the blocks in the game. It inspires me to create new prefabs. 😁

[[Prefab] The Walking Dead Prison]

laz man this is such a great prefab man. enjoyed clearing it out as well :-) You have done great :-).. Now off you go & build woodbury & terminus lmao :-P haha.. so we can have a true set up of TWD :-D (OFC this is only joking,)

 

:-) great work again

 

Glad you enjoyed it. I have a few smaller prefabs in mind before I take on another massive one like the prison. Did ya find the secret rooms? 😀
