modlet A19/A18 CreaturePacks - A community entity project

[Mrjohn1337]

I cant even fathom playing the game without this mod, there's your feedback. A question, is it possible to remove the spawn of certain npcs ? Namely the new crawler has to many problems with clipping, and the large soldiers that walk like they shite themselves. Id love to see some of the ravenhearst mobs added too *nudge. ^^

Yes, just edit the entitygroups.xml and remove any creature you dont love. That way it wont spawn into the game.

 

I am not aware that any of the entities in Ravenhurst are using Gen3 creatures, likely that are all gen2 and require custom code to make them work. Those would not be compatible with a vanilla game like these are.

[Mrjohn1337]

Thanks, much appreciated.

Minor update on spawn rates, plus changed version to conform with standards.

Just wanted to say I love these mods!!! I play with the animals, humans, and zombies ones. Makes the world seem more, um, "alive"??? Heehee. Anyway, these are "must have" mods for me now. Thanks to all of the contributors.

I agree! The game is so much better with the added variety of zombies, animals etc.

New version of CreaturePackHumans that balances spawning, there were way too many hostile animals spawning.

Pushed an update with 4 new guppy zeds. The guppy04 version lacks vehicle collision but is being fixed and will be updated soon.

Weird, during my testing, I haven't noticed any trouble with hostile animals. Oh well, I hope fixing one thing won't break something else.

Pushed another update, Added some new zombie animals made by your very own Guppy.

[mr.devolver]

Yay, thanks our very own Guppy and thanks our very own Xyth lol

I have a problem with github, my download is basically snail speed. If im lucky i get around 150kbs, i dont get any info on the file size and usually the dl fails. Using firefox 64bit and no dl manager.

 

[CrypticGirl]

So would this new update be under the zombies pack?

Yes, I guess some might better go in the fantasy pack, but who knows what the zombie virus does to how animals look.

Try using the mod launcher instead.

[Mrjohn1337]

I dld the github client, the speeds are the same but atleast the dl doesnt get interupted. And i grew up with 56k so im used to waiting. ^^

Pushed updates to animals, humans and zombiepacks. Converted the flying creatures to use the old Hornet class so they don't do those annoying vulture things like only attack when wounded, chasing vehicles etc. Hornet class isn't so inhibited. There is a template for passive flying things and hostile ones now. Moved Guppy's insect from zombiepack to animalpack. Fixed the Crow not flying. Commented out the compass icons from the Human templates so NPCs don't show on the map.

 

Side note: The introduction of the Hornet Class opens up the possibility for lots of interesting new dangers in the world. Be afraid, very afraid ;-)

Yeah, until devs decide to remove the code.

 

 

[xyth]

Not likely, as the Vulture extends from the hornet code. But thanks for playing, better luck next time.

[mr.devolver]

Hornets were removed a long time ago and it's probably a matter of time until devs decide to remove their code as well. It's usually done to keep the code clean of unused stuff, so even if the vultures extend from hornets now, devs may eventually decide to redo vultures to make them standalone and once it's done, there will be nothing to stop them from removing the unused code for hornets. Am I still wrong?

[Guppycur]

That faatal has had two opportunities (once when vultures were introduced, and again when he changed the code to attack vehicles and low health players), PLUS the plethora of old code throughout, gives us hope that it'll stay. Worst case? It goes. Oh well. Until then, I'm going to enjoy wrecking people's day with sleeper nests of these things.

Lol, yeah, your latest creatures remind me of a bloatfly and a mole rat. For a moment there, I thought I'm playing a different game. lol

Pushed new animalpack version, adding insect sounds for the hornet like insect to use.

Someone could help me??

[xyth]

We would need more information. What modlets do you have? What versions of the creaturepacks are you running, the latest? You logs would help too:

I have the same issue NREs all over the place.

I just downloaded the Humans pack from the git link, so I assume it's the latest? (Had this issue maybe a month or more back when I tried also)

 

Do I need to have the Mod installed locally as well as on my server? I may have missed that info.

In very limited testing, when I install the mod locally and play on the server, no more NREs. But that theory needs more testing to be sure.

Edit: ** Confirmed with the mod installed locally I can interact with NPCs from the pack.. no issue, but when it's server only, it blows up.**

 

I'm using ONLY the Humans pack.

I have a good number of mods many created by me, and others downloaded, but tweaked my me.

Most add recipes and change some values.. nothing too crazy.

 

Attached are the logs from my local game:

 

But basically I get this when I start the game (but nothing breaks until later)

And it seems when a human from the pack is near, I get NREs
