What is the definition of an official link with your host?

 

I'd guess something that is backed by the developer, also not moving around maybe.

No.

Azure IS the official link. Tell your host to stop being crap.

Or get a new host.

 

Hi.

Are you the developer / creator behind Darkness Falls?

 

As I understand it you're not interested in hosting DF from yet another source. That is understandable. I'd really like to make DF5 compatible with the gaming system of our choice and the developer of it doesn't seem to be able to use the officially provided Azure link.

 

Would you consider allowing myself / my company or another one host a secondary compatible link with the latest available download of DF?

Hi Developer.

 

I come with a question from a community of gamers who like to play Darkness Falls. We have dedicated server which we connect to.

 

With the recent release, DF5, the project seems to have moved to Azure. Before that the project, if I remember correctly, was hosted on Github. Sadly, the system which we use to host 7DtD and DF cannot download from Azure at the moment.

 

Would it be possible to have DF5 published as a ZIP package to the old Github site as well as the new Azure?

 

Kind regards.

 

Hello again.

Any chance of getting another download link for DF5?

 

Background: The download link on Azure isn't compatible with our host / gaming system.

It has to be an official link or else the link won't be implemented by the provider. (or else we would've hosted the download ourselves)

I've been playing 7 Days To Die since back when it looked blocky like Minecraft and it only had the Navesgane map to play on. Watching this game evolve over the years has been fantastic. I have more hours logged on this game than any other video game I have ever played. This is my first time modding the game. I chose this mod because it seems to promise and deliver the number of zombies that used to be in the game. I remember seeing hordes everywhere I went in earlier versions. However somewhere along the line they reduced the amount of total zombies in the game.

Blurb aside, I installed this mod and it's working well. 

I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me what settings I need to adjust and what number I should adjust those settings to in order for the game to have zombies everywhere.

Welcome to the exciting world of modding games, or at least of modding 7DtD. 😊

I'm sure the developer will appreciate you creating an account to be able to tell your story. 👍🏻

 

I'm still learning the ins and outs of this mod so I'm not of any help as of yet.

I can't answer your question, but if they are fighting zombies that match their level (i.e. not radiated zombies), then killing many zombies easily isn't difficult even on the first day.  If they are working with other people who give them good weapons and armor, it is especially easy to kill anything they find quickly and easily.  They would have more difficulty with radiated zombies but those usually aren't attacking them if they aren't near other high level players even if you are on a high game day.  This of course doesn't mean they aren't cheating but is just meant to show that it's easily possible they are not.  Of course, I can't see what they are doing and maybe it is much worse than what it sounds like in your description.

 

They are most often by themselves. I've played the game for some years now. Looking at how much better another player is is tough .. but maybe you're right about how good some players are at this.

Follow them around for a bit invisibly? (I'm assuming that is an admin option in this game)

It should be pretty obvious pretty quickly. 

 

Yes, I'm the admin and I have been following some of them around as invisible. Can't keep up with some of them although I'm in fly mode.

The chat message should only pop-up the first time you run the mod and login. I might look to shift the version information into the "improvedhordes" console command output.

 

Hi.

Thanks for your feedback.

The message pops up every time a player logs into the map/world.

 

Please consider making it possible for the admin or Game Master to mute any messages that reveal this mod was added.

In our community we often play against an active Game Master. Revealing server side mods of his or her choice really ruins any surprise moments.

[Improved Hordes [A21.2]]

Interesting mod. Currently evaluating it in a community of players, with our dedicated server.

 

Is there a way of disabling the chat message when logging into the the server?

 

A message like that really ruins the players ability to play unknowingly about the setup and a game masters intensions for a specific map.

[What's a good way of finding out if someones cheating?]

I host multiple 7DtD worlds, all with EAC enabled. Sometimes a player comes in and before having played even a day in the game this player is able to kill each and every zombie that is presented. In quick succession too, like multiple zombies a second.

 

It could be that I'm having a visit by God, most certainly a very successful player should he want to. It could also be that I'm having a cheater on my server.

 

How do I find this out before giving out perma ban?

 

It would be terrible by me to exclude a really good player just because it looks like cheating to me, I don't want to be that guy.

[A21 Dashboard Map]

Hi.

 

I can't get the map to display on the Web Dashboard. I'm seasoned with configuring 7DtD DS. This I just can't find any official info on. The settings suggested above only makes my server echo:

INF Loading permissions file at '/AMP/seven-days-to-die/294420/7DaysToDieServer_Data/../User/Saves/serveradmin.xml'
ERR Failed loading permissions file: Root element is missing.
ERR Failed loading permissions file: The 'webmodules' start tag on line 96 position 4 does not match the end tag of 'module'. Line 98, position 7.

 

 

I've tried various variants of suggestions regarding this. Only one who has Permission 0 can ever see a map.

I'd like "normal" players to see it too.

[Weird problem with server on a different PC (server not visible)]

Even later response, but looks to be a similar problem.

 

What was the official answer from Bredbandsbolaget? I mean , what ports are they blocking?

Some is in the serverconfig.xml
Some is in Mods\1-CustomGameOptions\SaveData\CustomGameOptions.xml

 

Thank you. CustomGameOptions.xml was the one I was looking for.

 

Regarding question #2 .. Care to shed some light on the thing with PEP worlds? I might have missed a discussion regarding that. I'm running the dedicated Server and there are only "NoPEP" worlds included in the package (the "world" folder). I'd love some extra POIs.

 

Anyway, thanks for this awesome mod.

[Darkness Falls: They mostly come out at night...]

Regarding a dedicated server: As I don't have a GUI for starting DF ...

1. Is there a way to set DF specific options like crosshair off through for example the serverconfig.xml?
2. Is there a way to start a map with extra POIs activated? I can only see "NoPEP" world folders.

 

Thanks you for creating and maintaining Darkness Falls.
