I don't like having to buy literally thousands of books just to craft stuff. They tried this in A17 but people hated it so they dropped it. Way too much hassle. I also don't like the game's Map Generator. I generated a 10k map; there was only 1 trader on the map with almost no buildings and you can't get a flat map no matter what you do.

The title pretty much says it all. I'm trying out a mod that uses Num1 (keypad 1) to fire the weapon, but I may have remapped that button so I'm trying to figure out what I mapped it to. If I knew what the default action for the num1 button then I might be able to figure it out.

I have always loved Simple UI by Steadman420. Nice to see it back. But can you make a 120 slot for storage chests?

Not me, I can't even start the game with this mod loaded.

I'm having trouble with the Always Open Trader modlet. It made it so they are always closed now so I can't even get to the trader without getting teleported away.

I'm having problems with an error trying to use this mod. The best thing I think of is to just post a picture of the error. It just keeps counting up with the file name number.

What? I've had 16k maps before (A 19) and they play the same as an 8k, just bigger. That was on my old computer. I've since upgraded so I have no problems playing any game now, including VR. In fact, I have a 16k map and if I could get the biomes.png right I'd be playing it. The game does not load the entire map all at once, just a selected area that is in your view. So it does not matter the map size, the amount of information being processed is the same. So a larger map does not use any more resources than a small map. I've been playing this game since A 16 and until the A 19.5 update, you could make 16k maps with NitroGen. I played them all the time in SP and multiplayer. 8-12k maps are just too small.

I need a simple map. I'd like it to be 16k, completely flat, as many towns and cities as possible, no water or freeway on the edges. Just split it into thirds with snow in the north, pine forest in the middle, and desert in the south. I tried using King Gen but it messed everything up and I still got hills and craters. The biomes.png is messed up too. Pine Forest is always dark and foggy 24/7. I wish NitroGen still worked. That was the best map generator ever. Anyways, can you make a map like this pleasse?

I heard the gun works, you just press "E".

Well a really simple solution is to just make the craft time faster. I use this in my recipes mod, you can alter the ingredients easy enough. All you really need is the craft_time="0"> at the end. You can also adjust that if you want it slower. At 0 it will pump out 100 Yucca Juice Smoothies in a few seconds...like 3-4 seconds or something. <append xpath="/recipes"> <recipe name="drinkYuccaJuiceSmoothie" count="1" tags="perkMasterChef,learnable" craft_time="0"> <ingredient name="foodCropYuccaFruit" count="1"/> <ingredient name="drinkJarEmpty" count="1"/> </recipe> </append>

Oh man, look you guys obviously haven't thought this through. Ever heard of Prefabs? There are already hundreds of buildings saved as prefabs. You can see them all if you go into the editing options on the main screen. These buildings come complete with furniture and zombies already in them. It's just a copy paste to place them. 10 square miles means you can make a map that has 100 square miles in it. I mean where do you think the Navezgane map came from? It probably took less than a year for the first version of 7D2D to come out complete with maps and a map generator. Once you have the terrain laid out all you do is pick places for certain buildings and paste them in. You don't need new zombies, the buildings only need to resemble the city. You guys are thinking of a perfect recreation of a city and that's just not what I'm talking about. Yes you would probably want to make a few new buildings that are landmarks, but really you'd only need a dozen or so to pull it off. But you don't get it that the devs have tools for this sort of thing. They have been working on this game for nearly 20 years now. You think they have not come up with faster ways to make changes? I have made mods and used the prefabs before. I'm telling you this is not all that hard and I bet they could make a city map in less than a week. And like I said, they could do it while they are making the map system better. So why do you wish to argue over it? You said you would like this, why are you worried about how much work it is for the devs? It's their job, they get paid for it. I imagine they don't hire just anyone. These guys are experts at what they do. How about we wait and see if a dev says it's impossible?

"missisipy" LOL. Yeah I can now see what I'm dealing with here. OK, I'll just count you as a no vote, next.

Not impossible, there were some user made maps of some cities, like Las Vegas back in like A17. I would think that it would be even more possible with the new maps because they support tunnels and have many more POIs now and lots more shapes. Doesn't need to be exact, just close. Like a 16k map would be about a 10 mile square area. That would cover a good chunk of a city like New York. Not the whole thing of course, but plenty to make it seem realistic enough. Yeah it might take you or me a year to make one, but the devs gotta be much faster than us right? (crosses fingers). If TFP put just 1 or 2 on it I think they could do it, besides, they will be informed of any updates long before they happen. And if they are working on maps anyways, they could improve the whole RWG system at the same time to make the maps better all around.

Hey thanks paulj_3 that is really handy.

Well I thought it could shoot because I had some mods for like A16-A17 that did shoot. OK, off to see if I can find one that shoots bullets instead of just dropping me on top of zeds...lol Would be nice if someone made a vehicle mod that adds working guns and maybe rocket launchers.

I can't get this thing to shoot. Like I tried using my primary and secondary action buttons but it won't shoot. If I use the interact button (default E button) I exit the helicopter and fall to my death...lol So what button do I use? Like what is it listed as in the options?

Well like I said, they would be available for download, not in the vanilla game itself. I believe in options and i know everyone won't like everything. The RWG definitely needs improvement with many more options. I used to use Nitrogen to make maps with. It made really nice maps, but unfortunately it hasn't been updated for a long time and I think Damocles (I believe that is his name) stopped working on it. KingGen is another one that seems to be abandoned as well. While I understand this idea won't appeal to everyone, I would like to have the option of using a map of a real city. I think some others might enjoy it as well. But we'll see.

It gets in the way of mining too. I think you should be able to shoot thought it, like with no clipping or something. I don't even use it anymore because it's just always getting between me and my target, delaying my chance to shoot or perform some actions. This negates it's usefulness. I agree that the drone's voice is irritating and unnecessary. When I did use it I turned that crap off.

I was just thinking how cool it would be if the devs made maps of actual cities that could be downloaded. Like New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Seattle, Chicago, etc. It would be really cool because people could play in cities they know or want to visit. Imagine fighting zombies in the subway of New York, or on Hollywood back lots. How about in the Underground of Seattle? Maybe on the strip of Las Vegas with all the strippers (personally I wish you had not changed them into party girls. It's like denying they exist and trying to make the game "G" rated.) Perhaps start with US cites and expand world wide. London, Paris, Rome, even the Kremlin (I know I'd love to blow it up ATM). I think this would add a lot more realism than just random places.

Quick Question... What are the RGB color codes for the different biomes? I know snow is easy, 255,255,255. What are the rest of them? Anyone know?

Sure, I'll try it out. Thanks. I'd love to see the coding for that, might clear up some misgivings I have. BTW, I think the reason JaxTeller718 made it fill up jars from the left click button is the right click is used to repair the sinks to make them work with his repair kits.

@arramus Yeah, not what I'm looking for. Thanks anyways. I probably need 2 separate mods to do the trick. JaxTeller718 made them all the dispense the same thing so he combined them all into 1 mod. Really all I want is just the sink and the water cooler to dispense like this.

Yes, that was the first thing I tried with the drinkJarRiverWater and drinkJarBoiledwater..but see I need only the Water Cooler to dispense boiledWater, and the other sinks and whatnot to give riverWater. (I've said this so many times in this thread...whatever). Like how it was with Home Depot mod. But nobody seems to know how to do that. If you change any of the lines in action0 from drinkJarRiverWater to drinkJarBoiledWater then they all dispense BoiledWater.

That is what this modlet does. It gives you a stove that works just like a campfire.

Wow, sorry I had no idea. Hope he's OK. I just had not seen him around for a while so the question was not meant to be insensitive. I know what it's like, I've had 2 myself. No fun at all. Well I hope he feels better soon.
