stallionsden Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Canaa said: Hi! I'm using the modlet, and I've noticed that certain POIs seems to be spawning a lot more than they should, while others haven't spawned more than once over multiple world gens, or even none at all. For example, I frequently find the Apaxco prefab by Gouki 2-3 times per city, often within a block of each other, while an entire world may have one Book Stop prefab, if I'm lucky. The Hub51 multi-trader by War3zuk shows up all over the wilderness, 6 or more per world, but I haven't seen any of the other multi-traders, and checking world prefab files shows they haven't been generated in any of the 5 worlds I've made with this version of the compopack. I like HUB51, but some variety would be nice. Similarly, I've found two instances of the Minimall prefab by Spider literally right next to each other in the same block, while other prefabs I like I'll be lucky to find even once. Is there some way I can change probabilities? I've tinkered with the modlet's rwgmixer file a bit to test things since noticing the lopsidedness, but it doesn't seem to make much difference. I noticed there's a note that says "uncomment prefablist if you wish more POIs to spawn," but I'm not sure where the referenced commented section is? Any help you can give would be appreciated! Hi @Canaa First you can comment out the section in the rwgmixer under prefablist or simply delete. Leaving the 4k section and 8k section. Then when you spawn in a 4k or 8k world the prefabs are not also added thru the game as well so you would be getting double ups. I did forget to comment it out lol.

Canaa Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Thanks @stallionsden! Your advice took care of the multitude of repeats, which left room for other things to spawn that hadn't been. Still not sure why the game was prioritizing certain things over others and just repeating them all the time, but whatever, this works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh i have the prefablist section in there for those whom want lots of pois regardless of how many of each. But yeh i did mean to comment it out lol. will fix that now for any one whom dl it for the first time or will want to dl it again to have that bit removed. As for why lol I had added a 0.05 to all prefabs in that section. I dont know why tho random is random even on repeat lol 😛 Edited January 8, 2021 by stallionsden (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stallionsden Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 UPDATE: CP 47 MODLET:Commented out prefablist section in the rwgmixer in the modlet. This causes many versions of a poi to spawn. Simply uncomment the <!-- at the start of the section and the --> at the end of the section to have many pois even if the same spawn.

Lord Shakaka Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Just tried a small NitroGen map with Compo Pack 47. The city is deadly. So many zombies on day one it was insane. I was with two other people playing coop and they were giving up. Is there a way to scale the zombie numbers? I know many would love to fight or run away from hordes. But when you spawn in the middle of the city, you are just out of luck. One building had 20 zombie dogs run at you at ground level. Bit much to try to kill. Think it was the POI that had Welcome to Eden sign in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay away from the big pois for starters. Level 1 should do smaller pois and quests from the trader whom will send you to pois for your game stage. Maybe spawn near a city or away from it also.

Alan Lau Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) I don't know if this is a Nitrogen or a CompoPack question, so please bare (bear?) with me. I'd like to know if there's a way to tell nitrogen that I want many of the POIs in the CompoPack to be placed in the map it generates. For example, the 2nd to last map I generated had tons of the run down airport (one of my favorite POIs) but the most recent map I generated only had 1 of those POIs. I guess I'd like the map to be generated with a uniform number of each of the POIs in the CompPack.

TIA Hi @Alan Lau in the nitrogen program you can try setting all the options in the pic supplied you can play around with and set max values (having a bigger world like 12k/14 k also gives more pois to spawn. other then that it is a process of generating many maps and checking the world to see if it suits. a sort of way is checking the prefabs.xml the game creates on world gen thru nitrogen to see what pois spawned.

Magoli has done a wonderful job in keeping this pack going thru the many alpha releases. Also a credit to the many talented prefabbers out there whom have contributed.

I've loaded it on my Bluefang dedicated server and it won't create a world with the RWGMixer.xml. It just hangs and hangs. It will NOT create a world. No problem loading with original RWGMixer but that doesn't work with the POI's. I think Bluefang support is sick of me. Hey if your still having this problem I figured it out on my end. The rwg was having problems generating the town with the prefab xcostum_Big_Zed(by_Gobarg_Mana). It should work If you open up the rwgmixer and then comment out every instance of: <prefab name="xcostum_Big_Zed(by_Gobarg_Mana)" prob="0.05"/> Mine worked just fine after that!!

Yea I understand that. Unfortunately at map start it spawned us in the city so it was just the luck of the draw. I can see that Eden mall would be a tier 5 dungeon. 20 dogs on the ground floor seems excessive when they all can be triggers by one zombie. Oh well, I would have to try different maps since that coop spawn point basically means you have to try to sneak out of town just to start. That is if you can find a path that doesn't have a ton of zombies on the outside of a POI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ti2xGr Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I attempted to submit a POI, but the Discord link stated "invalid link". Side note - I want to ensure I am submitting them properly with the right settings. Is there a cheat sheet beyond the explanation in the Prefabs.txt file as it is slightly greek to me in regards to the direction and x,y,z coordinates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Ti2xGr Just tested the link it worked for me but try this one. https://discord.gg/bc3kvZH Oh awesome feel free to pm me if you have trouble still getting onto discord and can submit thru pm. But hopefully the link will work 🙂 . In the editor show facing (tools 2) which waybtyebarrow is pointing is the way your poi will face. So what I do is go look in the direction I want the poi to face the road and take note of compass (nesw) then I look at arrow and rotate til it points that way. Also in the editor the x,y,z is listed up right side next to tools menu.

PrimalCarnage Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I've been using Nitrogen now for about a month and I can't figure out how to make a new map that includes vanilla (Alpha 19.3) POIs as well as PreFabs on the same map.

Thanks in advance! hi @PrimalCarnage The CP comes with a prefablist that includes both Vanilla pois and CP pois. you simply drag the 3 txt files into the nitrogen resource folder and overwrite when asked. and the prefabs inside the prefab folder (open folder and select all) drag into the games prefab folder. and run. If on a server the host will need it server side and client side and people whom join have the prefabs in their prefab folder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
