modlet A19/A18 CreaturePacks - A community entity project

[xyth]

pushed a fix for an NRE when some characters ragdolled.  

[mr.devolver]

Is it just me or some of the zombies (if not all) added by this pack when spawned as sleepers actually never wake up automatically and player must attack them first? I just noticed that in the latest update, I'm pretty sure it worked before as it should. Vanilla zombies still seem to work as they should.

Edited May 4, 2020 by mr.devolver (see edit history)

[q123]

Same here for me tonight.

I also had some sleepers, which I thought I've never seen before - and they didn't wake up until I hold them a shotgun on the head.

Vanilla sleepers already where attacking me at the same time.

Edited May 4, 2020 by q123
typo (see edit history)

[xyth]

I will test.  That was fixed previously but maybe a recent code change reverted it.

 

Fixed in .49 of zombiepack

 

I'm pretty sure survivor and bandits characters still will not wake sleepers in pois with this edit.  Not sure if that's good or bad, and it can be changed so they do, but if you test that let me know.  The issue was i used EntityAlive as a target, and since Player is a child of that, zeds should target players with EntityAlive.  And they do if the zed is awake, but apparently the player class doesnt "extend" to the sleeper detection code class.

[xyth]

Maybe really fixed in .50  Removed another NRE zombie from spawning.  I apologize for all this, I will likely need to take fewer new characters as I likely need to start testing all submissions first now.

[xyth]

I'm feature locking the CreaturePacks until A19.    Should be enough for folks to enjoy until then.

 

I added 6 Guppy Orcs to the fantasypack as one last surprise.

After the latest update I got some NREs:

You just can't let go until A19, can you? lol

[q123]

no

 

this creature pack brings so much variety into the game - it's perfect for killing the time until a19 comes out

update:

sorry to say that, but I got more NREs after a game restart - this time I think it's maybe 'zombieGuppyDoctor04Black' (?), after the following 3 zombies where killed the NRE-spam stopped:

yesterdays version was fine for me (besides that sleeper-thing).

[Guppycur]

Did the extends change from version to version?  

 

The zombies didn't, so I'm thinking they're now pointing to a different template.

Have you tried to start a new world? Because the way you're describing it sounds like you're playing an older save which could cause issues sometimes which would also explain why "killall" seemed to solve the problem for you. You probably had some old versions of entities spawned in that had to be killed to not cause errors. I should probably also mention that I haven't tried the latest version myself yet, so I can't confirm at the moment.

Edited May 4, 2020 by mr.devolver (see edit history)

[xyth]

Yea, with all the yanking of entities you likely need a new world. 

 

[q123]

You're right, that world is more than a month old or so. But I never got NREs before - and I did every update which was published here.

Thats strange.

 

I don't think I wanna start a new world until a19. Maybe I'll roll back myself to the version from the day before (with sleepers not waking up)... I think I'll do that later in evening. Maybe that changes something and if not, I have to use killall everyday until a19

 

 

[mr.devolver]

Xyth, I get some NREs in the latest update. Not sure if it's related to NPC mod or CP, because as you know I'm using both, but here's the log.

[xyth]

Pushed updated zombiepack .51, might fix it but i cant repo so please test on a new game.

I just grabbed the update and I'm going to test it. Well, it's probably hard to reproduce really, because I literally didn't do anything in the game when that happened, because I was tweaking reshade filters (trying to match the new Alpha 19's look lol) and I started doing that immediately after spawning into a new world. While I was doing that, it was soon the in-game evening and zombies started spawning more closely to my location so I wanted to use God mode to avoid getting killed while I'm messing with the reshade settings and when I pressed F1 to get into console, I noticed the red sea of NREs was already there, filling up the whole space in the console. I guess I didn't see those errors thanks to Sphereii's code which prevents errors from taking control from the player. So yeah, kinda hard to reproduce when I have absolutely no idea how this happened.

[q123]

thank you @xyth😊     

that comma-bug-fix was it, I think.

 

I first tested in a new world and later also in my existing world. Every creaturepack sleeper woke up by self and the best - no NREs so far 😁

That's good to hear, I also hope I won't see those NREs again, but I'm still testing. So far so good. We will see.

Great news.  Thanks for tesring guys.  I want a stable build that can last a bit while we prep for A19

I wanted to report major problem with entities, one guppy zombie and vanilla vulture as they spawned but didn't move. Then I realized I accidentally pressed the AI toggle key, oh well at least now I know which key it is LOL

[SylverWulf]

Excellent Work!! Love playing the modlets. Do have a question tho, these modlets must be on both client and server to work on a rented server? I wanted to add them, but when i looged in to my server i gor errors.

 

[Guppycur]

Correct.

[Tekajin]

Heya fellas,

 

First of all I'd like to say from what i've seen, i'm really impressed and like to thank you for the work you've put into the mods.

 

However I do have a little problem I can't seem to fix on my own and would love to get some help with it.

 

I'm not new to modding 7 Days To Die but after adding a few of the creature packs I keep getting the infernal: "Null reference exception object reference not set to an instance of an object".

And it has me stuck.

 

 

I've been able to reproduce the specific error in a world that was generated by NitroGen (along with the ComboPack addition).

And it only seems to happen with the Zombie Creature Pack. I've tested the other packs seperate and it only seems to happen with this specific pack.

 

The specific error that I keep geting is listed below:

I appreciate any help you guys can give so I can enjoy the new playthroughs of the game we all love (and hate sometimes lol).

 

I will be heading off to bed, any responses might take a little bit :).

 

Thanks guys.

I appreciate any help you guys can give so I can enjoy the new playthroughs of the game we all love (and hate sometimes lol).

 

I will be heading off to bed, any responses might take a little bit :).

 

Thanks guys.

Please, first make sure you start playing a new world. If you can reproduce this problem in a new world, then provide your output_log.txt file from the gameplay where these NREs occured, so that Xyth can analyse it and fix the problem. Thank you.
