Overhaul Romero Mod - A game mode/suite of zombie tweaks

[nickuk01]

Khaine can I ask... in your config blocks where you can change zombie hordes, below that is setting to disable crosshairs. Is that for guns in the game when ADS or is that just for cursor crosshair on the UI main screen generally?

[KhaineGB]

Ok, if I remember correctly, that setting COMPLETELY disables the crosshair for everything.

Hello, how do i change the number of zombies that spawn in the horde and the times if i am using peer to peer game?  I think i found the file..just not sure if it will work in a peer to peer game.

The host would have to change those numbers since they push the XML to clients in a peer-to-peer game.

But it's blocks.xml in Mods\1-RomeroModCore\Config

Hey, any chance to get the parts of the overhaul as separate mods? I would like to be able to use things such as scrap tools and pipe guns separately in my custom mod list that may not be compatible with the overhaul such as Romero Mod.

[KhaineGB]

I'm not pushing them as seperate modlets. Honestly, i'd be VERY surprised if the full thing wouldn't work with your modlets since I did my best not to edit the XML as much as possible.

Some of the mods I'm using are not just small modlets, but little overhauls on their own that are carefully hand picked to ensure that they will not break each other. Some of them already alter some base settings of the game differently than Romero Mod does and that's one of the major problems with overhauls, they simply can't be used together, because they offer different gameplay, but you still might want to have some of their parts in your game, like the items I mentioned earlier. I'm also using Creature Pack as well as DMT NPC mod which requires Sphereii's Core. Your Romero comes with its own modified version of Sphereii's Core which may not be fully compatible with the latest feature set required for proper function of the said mods, so there's quite a few reasons to be skeptical to say the least, but I respect your decision to not release them individually, I had to ask though.

[KhaineGB]

The modified sphereii-core is the one I use in DF to fix Linux issues. Otherwise it's basically the same.

Hello, new question. How do i ensure Bloodmoon is disabled? We thought there was no horde night but to our surprise there was!

[KhaineGB]

You can toggle it on the main menu. I did my best to try and force it off, but sometimes the game ignores that.

The options are basically "disabled" or "disabled." Just changing it should force it off.

[mr.devolver]

Troll mode enabled? Lol. I would probably laugh hard if that happened to me. I guess you guys had some fun that night with the increased wandering hordes AND bloodmoon hordes...

[KhaineGB]

Nah, just the game derping out.

I need to see if there's a way I can edit the enum to make walk and off the default.

[KhaineGB]

Okay, so good news and bad news.

I managed to make "always walk" the default.

But I can't set bloodmoon to off. You have to set it to 0 days.

[Old Man Gaming]

I've not seen anything about the traders/trading posts being destructable, are they in Romero ?

[KhaineGB]

I don't think I turned that setting on. If I did, then it's a setting in 0-Sphereii-Core that can be turned on/off as the player wishes.

We are trying to get this mod onto a server.  Both the server owner and I are getting the same two Error's on loading and we get stuck on creating character. One is "end of stream exception" an done is hard to read but it looks like "NCSimple deserializer" I have never seen either of those error's before. I am guessing that since we both got the error it has to be an issue on the server not on our end.

[KhaineGB]

Highly likely.

ALWAYS test a mod in single player first. If it works as intended, then the server is the issue.

Hey Khaine.. loving the mod. I have hordes set as standard every 6 hours but only seeing one or 2 a day. Is that expected because they spawn in various parts of map or should they appear near me every time?

[KhaineGB]

They spawn out of sight and path towards your last known location.

So that does sound like it's working correctly.  They don't GPS to you like bloodmoon does.

Ok cool thank you

[Picklefart]

Loving this mod, just what I was looking for all these years so thank you for this.

 

I was wondering if there is an issue with the HP bar modlet not working? I have this installed on 19 stable and doesn't show the HP bars. Any idea?

Edited October 2, 2020 by Picklefart (see edit history)

[KhaineGB]

I actually don't know. I saw it not work for someone else too, but it was working for me.

I'll look into it for when 19.2 comes out.

[SuperZoda]

Having an issue with sleeper spawns - sometimes I will go a few POIs without seeing any sleepers. Then suddenly, I'll be in a POI and all the sleepers inside spawn at the same time, out of thin air and in rooms I've already passed.

 

It happened a couple times starting around day 12, and it wasn't that bad just seemed like a glitch. Having no sleepers randomly felt pretty awesome. But I was holding down a POI overnight on day 14, no sleepers had spawned there. I put down a bedroll, started setting up some boxes, cooking food, living the good life... Then out of nowhere, the entire building erupts with the screams of aggro spawns and they're everywhere: closets, corners, appearing right in front of me.

 

If I had to guess, wandering hordes max out the zombies allowed at once, which prevents sleepers from spawning. The horde runs off into the distance and despawn causing sleepers to spawn in late. A19.1 stable, installed Romero from mod launcher.

 

 

 

 

[KhaineGB]

Yeah, it's likely hitting max zombies. That's a configurable option on the main menu, so you can increase it if you like. I think I set the max to 200, but I was testing with 100.

[nickuk01]

Hey Khaine.. loving your mod. On the 2 pipe weapons you added have crafted both. The pistol is fine but the rifle is little difficult to use ADS (i disable crosshairs btw) as characters hand slightly obscurs the sight at end of the rifle. Any way to alter that slightly so have clear ADS?
