Regarding creating player issues. Restarting the server MAY fix it. Had 1 confirmed case so far.

These showed up after I replied, so apologies. It might, but as per my earlier post and the notice on the first page, the use of modlets is UNSUPPORTED with Darkness Falls and I'll basically ignore any errors reported... with the exception of D2D's HDHQ because we compared notes and verified that it works. And yes, I know I need to edit the mod features but I've basically been dealing with error reports on servers since it launched on Monday. However, you have a 30 slot bag and 60 total slots. CLOTHING unlocks extra slots and the STRENGTH attribute unlocks more slots. No more pack mule. You can get around 8 extra slots just from wearing the right clothes, so encumbrance shouldn't be that much of an issue. The version on discord HAS helped with the creating player issues. They still exist, because it's a vanilla thing. Seriously... search the forums. It's been a thing since A16... I have no idea why the hell they decided to change their multiplayer protocol and stuff everything up even more. There's also some server-specific NRE's popping up that are almost impossible to track down since it seems to happen on SOME servers and not others... on stuff that shouldn't even NRE... like jumping animations on vanilla entities... I'm not kidding.

Replying to both of you here. So A17 doesn't check if you meet requirements or not when you unlock something via quest or book... and straight up unlocks it anyway. HOWEVER, I've done some testing and those skills will become unlocked once you meet the requirements. In the case of Hammer and Forge 3, that's finish your class quest and hit level 15. Does it lock ALL levels though? I didn't test that so would appreciate feedback. Not in yet, because I wanted to get the main features of the mod into the game first, and then start bug hunting and squishing before adding in vanity items. And this is the fix list SO FAR... - Cvar tracking removed from weapons and transferred to buffs. - Hunter and Survivalist quests changed to Gather Shiv instead of Craft Shiv to help with a rare NRE. - Animal Snare and Chicken Coop now have the right loot lists. - Butchering Tools had a max level of 1. Should have been 2. - Bowl of Water can now be crafted in the campfire. - Scavenging now works a little better. It also levels up from using the wrench to disassemble things. - New food and drink items should show how much food and drink they give. - Fixed the winchester rifle perk not unlocking the winchester rifle gun. - Stone axe should now power attack. - Removed time from the map because that was supposed to be a thing. - Changed the FIRST class quest of every class to reward items in a different way to prevent NRE's. - Hornet doesn't get a tomahawk missile stuck in it now. - Increase amount of time between zombie corpse and gore block. - Gore blocks now self destruct after a certain length of time so players don't need to mess with clean up after a horde. - Clothing now shows how many backpack slots it unlocks. - Potato seed changed to always_unlocked due to it sometimes not unlocking for some reason. - Wheel's were missing a recipe, which has now been added and is mechanic-specific.

They have been in the let's plays and streams I've been watching?

Already fixed it in the test build. Yeah, I had the wrong loot list. Animal snare has the same problem too.

If you mean backpack slots, it's 30 And Zombo answered the book question. I'm thinking of adding that to localization so folks know.

Important notice. There is currently a bug within the mod where, if you complete a class quest that grants clothes (usually your first quest) while wearing clothes, it causes an NRE. Workaround: Get nekkid. Fix has been tested and I am working on applying that to all class quests.

Honestly? That modelt might just work without me having to add it. I'll have a look at it later.

The gore block thing I'm looking at possibly doing a custom DLL patch for so I can have them naturally "expire" after a certain length of time, but I make no promises on that. The arrow thing is a bug with custom models like the Hornet and Behemoth. It's because of the new sticky arrows... and it annoys me.

Ok, first up, I'm not removing the gore blocks. They exist for zombies to climb on during horde nights and for the player to have a way to get more bones. However, you should just be able to edit the XML. It's entity classes, and you're looking for this. <property name="CorpseBlock" value="terrGore"/> <property name="CorpseBlockChance" value="1"/> You can either remove it or just change the chance to 0. - - - Updated - - - I'd actually say just do this. I'll have to check and make sure the modlet doesn't edit something that doesn't exist. If people tell me what modlets they want, I can check for compatibility and build a list. However, as stated in the discord, I won't be providing support for versions of Darkness Falls modfieid by modlet because it changes too many variables.

Give me a reason beyond just wanting more vehicles and I'll consider it. Join the discord.

Potential fix for servers is out to testers. Keep your fingers crossed.

Yeah, unfortunately it does make them start over. Still working on what I HOPE will be the fix. It's being a little bit of a bugger to get working, but I'm getting there.

Only fix is to delete the player profile from what i'm seeing server admins saying.

Yes I did. The benefits of that perk are now part of the PERCEPTION attribute.

They're just breeding. It's fine. Actually it might be an issue with spawn blocks because I've seen that happen in vanilla with traders.

Sphereii confirmed it was a bug and he has pushed an update to fix it.

THe launcher just doesn't seem to be working for whatever reason. IT appears to be unzipping mods into incorrect folders.

I may.... big may... have a fix for the creating player issue. That weapon levelled up with this bit of code turned OFF. <effect_group name="Action Skills"> <triggered_effect trigger="onSelfAttackedOther" action="ModifyCVar" cvar="AS_Automatics_XP" operation="add" value="8"> <requirement name="StatCompareCurrent" target="other" stat="health" operation="GT" value="0"/> </triggered_effect> <triggered_effect trigger="onSelfKilledOther" action="ModifyCVar" cvar="AS_Automatics_XP" operation="add" value="32"/> </effect_group> And thanks to a server log provided by TormentedEmu, it's that bit of code on an EQUIPPED weapon that's stopping people from logging in to servers. So, for now, empty your toolbelts before you log off. It's not a guaranteed fix, but preliminary testing shows it does help minimize the Creating Player issues. In the mean time, I now have a template that works so I can strip out all of that code from items, hopefully still have working action skills and hopefully fix the problem.

May have a workaround for the server issue. It seems to be related to items tracking cvars that are EQUIPPED when the player logs out. Emptying the toolbar before logout appears to help with this issue, but I'm going to look into a proper fix. Have a couple of ideas already but I need to recharge the mental batteries a bit. Need to know what the output_log says for the NRE or I can't fix it. I've only seen one be reported and that was for crafting a shiv for a quest... for some reason. No idea why, but it only happened as the shiv was completed. May change that to a gather requirement instead of a craft requirement. Being completely honest? I don't really support changes to the mod and I don't use the mod launcher myself, so I have no idea.

Hopefully it'll work on A17.1 for you 8GB should be ok... I think I had about 6GB max RAM usage in playing.

Hell no. I've still got stuff to fix but my brain is totally fried right now.

Don't tell people that! I was gonna set up a PO Box so people can ship me coffee.

Put it in your toolbar and left click. Then it'll work. - Food/Water don't display correctly. Anything over 100 doesn't seem to work, so bear that in mind. - Coilsniper currently has the wrong icon, cos I'm lazy and haven't made a new one yet. - SDX entities, like behemoths and the hornet, don't like being shot with arrows.

Found the server issue. Now, it is going to be a MASSIVE pain to fix. So my plan is to still release today, but warn folks to stay on SP for now. However, here's a workaround folks can try. When logging out, make sure the player has an empty hotbar and is not holding any weapons/tools/etc. The reason is the server seems to be throwing an error on trying to initilize the cvars of a held weapon.
