I don't disagree with you, I made that point in my OP that women are not in some way automatically "less sexual". It just seems to be less prevalent.
And it very well may be less prevalent, but I see it this way because of what I watch. People tend to watch and want to watch things that reinforce their own experiences, beliefs, and morality vs expanding their horizons. I can say I am guilty of this and frankly every one is. However, this might be getting way to "meta" a conversation so after this, I'm out of this conversation.

I like the "Agree not to agree" approach, if everyone did this societies would be quite a bit more civilized. As Obi-wan said to Anakin "only Sith deal in absolutes"(though to be fair, many of the Jedi philosophies were quite rigidly absolutist as well!)

To answer your original question in the topic title: no
2 hours ago, ricp said:I watch quite a lot of 7DtD streams, both live and recorded, and there seems to be a consistent topic when streamers get to Jen - and it's sexual. Now I get it, we are all animals, it's natural to find people attractive, and this is a computer game so the 'person' they are 'objectifying' is not real so "no harm, no foul", right?
Correct.
2 hours ago, ricp said:However it seems to be just about every male streamer does it to an extent. Now I am not calling those people out, nor will I name names, but it's just so tedious to hear people repeat the same old tropes. I'll not lie, I've actively been watching female streamers, not because women are in any way less sexual IRL, just that they don't feel the need to reference Jen's boobs the minute they appear on stream.
Then you are watching the wrong(or, perhaps more RIGHT for YOU) female streamers. I know at least a half dozen female streamers who I would not consider overly sexualized themselves(by this meaning they don't wear suggest and/or low cut outfits while streaming). If you were to take a picture of these people while streaming and show to a few hundred people, few to none would really say "yes, these people are using their bodily assets to get views on their channels". And yet these females are frequently discussing sexualized topics, including Jen's boobs as part of their stream content.
The fact is there are people who are DIFFERENT from each other. Some people talk about sexual topics because they are comfortable with their and other peoples bodies. Other people don't because they are not comfortable doing so. Still others simply don't do it because they want to appear family friendly in their content(and YOU might consider calling them hypocrites)This is the same as people who curse, Some just don't curse pretty much EVER, some curse frequently, a few can't NOT curse, and some refrain when around certain people(such as their boss, parents, etc).
Bottom line, if someone's content bothers you enough, stop watching them. If not, then its really not THAT important to you is it? If you have constructive criticisms, address them respectfully and if they say @%$# off you have a choice of continuing to support them or not. However, don't get into a freaking debate with anyone who does not want to change unless YOU are willing to be open to YOUR position changing. Otherwise, you are the SJW2 -

The only way I have been able to get use from the sliders is to generate the map 1st on my P.C. using the tools and then uploading the files. Only is on the server I cant find a way to change it.
To the best of my knowledge, you can't. As far as I have "heard", no one at the fun pimps has made a definitive statement on this. As you said, generate it on your machine and upload to the server.

hey im an admin on a small server whats the codes to be able to make zombies dance and make big heads if you dont do twitch?
meaning you don't have a twitch account at all? or you don't stream? the later is NOT a requirement for using the integration, it's just the most known

I'm a newbie to 7D2D and just getting into seeds, etc. I struggled a little at first to understand how to use the seeds to generate a map and play it. A couple bits of it aren't that intuitive. I noticed also another poster earlier talking to @JoeDaFrogman had some issues and Joe replied with similar content to yourself. So this seems recurring.
Perhaps some of us can put together a wiki article or something similar describing this? (I assume there isn't one yet - I've searched but with no luck). Then the OP @SylenThunder could even edit a link into the first post? It might be useful? I'd be happy to help out - I am used to wikis although new to 7D2D.
If you wanna, go for it. Im sure some people will read it, but honestly I find people tend to just not read stuff. I would wish that the fun pimps would edit the "start new world" screen to make it easier and EITHER a) put a play button on the advanced generation screen, OR b) automatically select(but not load and start!) the generated world when you click "Back" from the advanced g4eneration screen

I have my crossbow, SMG, desert eagle, club, bone knife.
I feel like I should cut down and free up the inventory slots being used by ammo. Yet I keep finding myself in situations where one is better than the other.
Seems like there's too many.
I guess that depends on what you call a weapon....lol
at various times on my hotbar, depending on level and what I am working on I will have a axe of some sort, a knife or some sort, typically a sledge hammer but sometimes a club, a shovel all of which I have used for melee if I don't feel like swapping to kill that one or two zombies I am facing at that point in time when I was using said item for something else. Though it's slow as crap, the shovel makes an excellent decapitator weapon once you get a decent steel one unless you are facing high HP rads.
I then also typically carry some machine gun variant(AK or TAC, very RARELY an M60), some type of shotty(upgrading as I go) and I tend to also want to have a magnum or Desert Vulture(because I am typically also the trader in our group and the book for barter bonus!)
I also tend to have some type of bow or cross bow on me UNTIL I can get a silencer AND the book set to remove the silencer damage debuff completed. I don't spend an inordinate amount of time sneaking, but I will sneak some through a POI to get one shot arrow/bolt kills unless I get fairly deep into the game(generally 50+ levels)I guess I should also point out I tend to play MP on slightly higher than default difficultly settings(ie, NOT insane/nightmare some people prefer). I also tend to use melee to solve MOST of my problems outside of animals and overwhelming situations as a feel guns draw too much attention for little to no gain and I am super stingy with my ammo usage. I don't mind it taking me an extra 60 seconds to kill 5 zombies using a sledge hammer vs doing it 15 seconds with loads of noise 30 bullets/6-10 shells.
Along with that, I think for people one default settings or close, it's completely useless to drop points into any weapon skill(especially guns of any type) just to get a slightly faster reload.

Sorry buddy if that did offended you in some ways, but we are not that much into it to know what or even how to do it, we touched base a bit with Nitrogen about 2 years ago but that about as far as how techy we can be. Now we just wanna try that new version as it does look appealing and changing the game, again to be honest I was thrilled for the armor sets but alas they arent there so nothing much for me, but we are a group of 4 to 6 IRLs friends that plays the game and wanna try this version.
Not offended( I just sound that way all the time, sorry), just wondering why you think someone else might have anywhere near as strict requirements as you do and those are strict. While I could be wrong, I just don't think anyone is going to spend any time making perfect flat worlds for themselves, much less to share so you are likely going to be waiting for a very long time or you have to end up doing it yourself. Since you pointed out you tried a few(not sure if that means 5 or 50 to you) and did not like the ones you got before you gave up that is especially more evidence that fewer people would do in bulk to meet your requirements.
QuoteAgain no idea about what maps you have set up, I read the post until that 5th page, yet again diddnt understand how to get the info, I logged into a google page but didnt understand so went away.
If that aint complicated I ll touch base with some of my friends so they can have a look and see if they get it, if not, no bnother we ll figure it out ourselves.
We prefer to use the 7D2D modlauncher as it does everything you dont have to know how to do stuff like change spawns as you mentionned, it is straight forward and that is just what we need, not to spend hours on tutorials on how to do this and that, just play the game
I have over 80 seeds that were generated with the same settings and filtered to high quality maps. Take a look and find one you like the look of. As I said, the spawn points are easy to edit if you want to spawn near a specific place OR ensure you spawn at one of the specific pre-made spawn points. If you can determine an x/y coordinate from 7th grade geomotry then editing the spawn points is exceedingly simple. If you nd your friends can't determine cannot determine x/y coordinates(and thats ok, some people are really @%$#ty with spatial geometry) and you cant edit a picture and draw a big red X, I can tell you how to do so in 5 lines of instructions, it's nothing complicated.

I have 3 quests for skyscraper 01, 02, and 03. Does anyone know what they really are? I'd like to do crackabook if I could.
Does anyone know if/when TFP will modify these names so they aren't so lame?
They are not lame. What is "Crack a Book Headquarters" in Portuguese? Japanese? German? Well(meaning correctly) written software internally uses "codes" such as skyscraper_01 and then LATER localizes that value for each different language, something that is far more likely to be done once ALL of the various POI's are added(which I believe there more that will likely be added in the next release or two of A20, and possibly some in A21, though I hope they are all done).
For the record:
skyscraper_01 = Dishong Tower
Skyscraper_02 = Crack a Book
Skyscraper_03= Higashi Tower
Skyscraper_04= Joe Brothers Builders
and for the record, you can open DM mod and use the POI teleporter, enter the code to filter, and LOOK at the POI if it's in the world you want. You can also do the ummm Editing Tools->Level/Prefab Editor or World Editor to do similar things.

Hey guys, anyone has a map seed (not map name :)) with all flat no mountains, no cracks/craters, no water, and like maybe one small forest area 10% just enough for small city, small desert 10% (same as forest) and then snown and wasteland taking the rest roughtly equally ? We wanna test the new loot system and quickly move from starting area to what sound to be now mid/end game biome snow and wasteland! We tried a couple of time with the ingame map generator but can choose how much of each biomes you get so, no luck there so far. If you have a couple even if it is no same ratio if that is flat, we could give it a try run, cheers !
Happy New Year to All !
No offense, but if YOU gave up on making maps with no features, why would you think anyone else would want to stick to that?
If you only goal is to test the loot system per biome stuff, there are plenty of maps that let you do that easily including mine and Dan's that have a primary base location in/near Snow or wasteland. You do know you can easily change the spawn points as well to put you where ever you want to spawn, including having only a singular spawn right?
Dan is using one of my spawns and moved to the Snow after, I want to say day 4 or so in his playthrough(BihariScientology) because it had the best rating. BrachyurousDo-it-yourselfer has a high group of forest cities with a wasteland city nearby and the best base location in the wasteland and there are plenty of other examples.0 -

@JoeDaFrogmanHello,
Great stuff, thank you for the work. I really like this map. Since I am new to the game it allows me to hide in the forest for the time being and the area distribution is more to my expections of a biome. Anyways, only one question. If I were to use your settings, but generate a 10k world instead, would like I get this result in a larger map? Or would that be a nasty curveball on the world gen?
SomatologicalConsciences-8192
Again, thank you.
Rotor
Completely different world and full of SUCK. Don't do 10k seeds, they are generally horrible for ratings because things are spread out so far. The point of the seeds I an Dan posted, which is a currated list of a less than 150 total seeds of 8k size is that they DO NOT suck when the definition of not suck is "lots of interesting things very close to a specific point in the world, which is the best point to place your base due to proximity to things that are interesting).
For comparison, Here is that world using the same settings at 10k and it comes in well under the rating(~8k rating vs original ~19k rating) of the original 8k map and looks completely different as well:
it also took WELL over twice as long to generated JUST inside of 7d2d, and about 2.5 times for an 8k seed to complete the entire process of rating, drawing the preview maps, etc. I won't be making any 10k maps because frankly, they are not worth it as you would have to spend a 2 or 3 times as long to generate EACH map and then because the ratings suck you would throw more away(I discard anything with a rating below 15000 which means it would take an inordinate amount of time to get any halfway decent seeds.)
The code is out there if anyone wants to play with it and spend their time, but neither Dan nor I are going to do more than a few one offs.2 -

Completely different world. May be complete garbage or may be amazing. Things WILL be in different places and that would affect the rating

Lockable inventory slots. Truely a gamechanger. That way the sorting buttons really make sense. I can unload my whole inventory with a few clicks while keeping the things i always have on me.
THIS THIS THIS THIS. First mod I install and I feel completely naked without it.

I have 3 or 4 out of 85 with all 8 tier 5's somewhere on the world(check the seed thread for generation details as well as links to high res previews).

Thank you!

Check out the ones Dan did as well.. he wrote most of the code for doing the initial generation and most importantly how the rating is determined(still up in the air if will remain the same long term). I am still working on the code to compile the seed's important data into a spreadsheet, likely another week or so at least.

Ah ok you have hills = 2 in your original post that's why I was trying to sort this out. If it is supposed to be hills = 3 you probably need to edit the original post.
Again man, thank you!

Well crap.. now I feel embarrassed. I fixed it. And yes that change would create a completely different grouping of towns and stuff.

I'm not even going into a game so it's not #2, I'm just on the random generator menu and typing in (even tried copying and pasting in) the name AstronomicBoozes and setting the settings to:
Size: 8192
Towns: Many
Wilderness POI: Default
Rivers: Default
Craters: Default
Cracks: Default
Lakes: Default
Plains: 8
Hills: 2
Mountains: 1Random:0
The click "Generate World" and compare it to what I see on your google drive for that map. About the only thing that is identical is the biome layout so I know I have the size and biome name correct. I'm wondering if it's one of the other settings was different when it was generated? Like I mentioned you don't have a value for Random specified so I'm not sure what that should be other than 0.
No worries if you don't have time, it's not the end of the world. Just wanted to make sure it was something I was doing so if other people were using your seeds they wouldn't have similar issues.
FYI I did also eventually start a game and got the map I expected, just not the one you show for that seed/size/settings.
In your reply, you did hills = "2" but all mine were hills =3, so that absolutely can account for the difference.

Firstly thank you for all of this amazing work! That said I am also not getting exactly the same generation when using the identical settings even just on the preview screen. For example your suggestion of AstronomicBoozes the only thing that seems to be the same is the biome layout. The towns, water even mountains seem to layout differently.
Here is a screenshot. If I am using the wrong settings I apologize but I regenerated this several times and compared against your screenshots and settings detailed above. The only possible variable I can think of is you are not giving a value for "Random" so my assumption was it is set to 0?
Here is a link to the screenshot. Not sure how to insert images here on the forum:

Yo!
As is described, Miner'69 increase the damage of the Fireaxes by 10, 20, 30.. etc.. And block damage as well.
That raw damage (10, 20...) is applied to combat, right?
I will not have the pluses of the clubs and knives but the fireaxes with 5 Miners can be pretty decent, or i am wrong?
Yes. I fact @dcsobral is doing a playthrough now using axes and is doing quite well in the snow biome.

Before zombies could dig I'd go all the way down to the indestructible level, then build a floor on it. I'd carve out rooms in the rock for my work stations, kitchen, storage area, bedroom with a gun safe in it for my preferred weapons. Back then I knew how to turn off the heat map for torches, so it was quite cozy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not playing a zombie game to avoid killing zombies, I just think that if I take the time to prep way down underground I should be unnoticed. Then, once preparations are complete, I'd emerge on my time and start cleaning up the undead. Heat maps shouldn't penetrate the ground so easily. Depth should be cover, even on horde nights, or should at least be an option.
ummm why don't you just return to an older version. At least for now, you have that option to play on A16 or A15 or whatever version had the mechanics you wanted.

So - I'm looking for maps where the biomes of desert and snow DO NOT TOUCH. There are a couple up there, the UnattainableCatalogs being the closest to what I'm after - Snow north, Desert South, Others in the middle somewhere... I've found that I can generate a full map in about 3.5 minutes if I put everything to none and 0, so I'm counting up from Seed "1" and going up from there until I find what I'm looking for... But do I have to?
Every map created makes a 'biomes.png' file that shows the biomes. Seed 3 gave me this one:
This is ok - but not ideal. So my question - this is a simply PNG... Can I edit this in any old image editor and just pick the colors and doodle it into what I wanted, and will the generated world adapt to the new biome map, or is this fixed in stone once the world is generated? Anyone know?
I'm going to attempt to swap in this one mid-generation and see what pops up:
DeiformCylinders, DiacausticCooms, DiptheroidAntecdence, DivorciveDecrepitude, BrachyuriousDo-it-yourselfer(quite high rating), AligningMichigan, etc. Quite a few to choose from. NOTE I typed thse names while looking at the image so, the names may have incorrect spellings, so double check if plan to try any!!!!

Me and my friend have been trying to make an advanced gen map now for a few days. I go into it, name it, select my specifications, and then start to generate it.
Once it's generated, it shows an extremely zoomed in version of the map and then it allows me to back out or generate again. It never puts me into the map and I'm not able to play on it. If I back out, nothing is saved and I have to go back in and redo it. Any suggestions?
I did clear the previous data from all the other versions.See here if that answers your questions

I created an account to post this. I am sure there are thing I do not understand (like how formatting works on this site).
I have tried multiple maps listed with the appropriate settings. A238 generation with the map settings listed. I am using the names listed on each .png as the seed name but I am not getting the correct map generation. The one I am most interested in is "AnticipantEditor". I have tried all variations of "AnticipantEditor" but I am not getting the map from the picture. Is map generation -not- universal? Am I doing something incorrectly? Perhaps I am using the listed information wrong?I am not sure what exactly you mean. Dan and I have generated seeds the other person originally created, so it's not locked a seed + given computer for sure.
are you saying(either/or? )
- You generated world, and then in the map view window it does NOT look like what I posted in my images
- You generated the world and in the map view windows it DOES look like the images but when you try to play you don't get that world
If #1, then you are doing something wrong. The seeds are a combination of a seed value AND a size AND the various settings, so check each of those.
If #2, well that's just kind of a bad UI design (IMHO) on the fun pimp part. When you generated a world, you MUST take note of the world name, this is NOT the same as the seed.
eg(this is in the advanced generation section when I clicked that button in "New Game"):
Click the BACK button.
Now, here is what you DO NOT WANT TO DO(next picture). If you type in the World Generation Seed here, you will get the default settings for towns, plains, etc and that wont create the same world!!!!!
See how it's RED????? That means you ALREADY generated that world!
Click the arrows beside Game World until the one you just generated comes up with the correct "Generated World Name" you took note of on the previous screen. Of course, yours will be completely different from Hibolo Valley since the seed is different.
AnticipantEditor will be New Milodu County if you got the settings all correct(size would be the only thing that would change the world name with the same seed(though the seed MUST be in the EXACT same case as listed. If you "anticipantEditor"(note the lowercase 'a'), you would get a COMPLETELY different world!

Speaking of Rekt's attitude, I JUST found out that each trader has an XML configuration concerning their "niceness". While I have not yet, I plan to monkey with that via a mod and see if I can get dialog lines from Rekt being "nice" and Jen being the @%$#. Hopefully, there is speech already packaged up for each voice that will just work, you know for science.
