Hi,Dan

 

Thanks for making a great mod.
I've got a bug in the underground labs that makes it impossible to progress.
In the door that opens with the jail key.
When I use the key, the key disappears, but the door doesn't open.
I couldn't pick up the key item at the end of the door, so I couldn't proceed.
Please check it out if you want.

You need a second key to open it :)

V1.06  (You DO NOT need a new game, you can continue existing playthroughs)
Lowered Bird Nest respawn time to 7 real hours (Was 15).
Shipping crates give more loot.
Broken glass can no longer be eaten.
Some cooked meals are cheaper to craft.
Seeds are cheaper to craft.

Fixed the flooding leaking into the back of the kitchen. (Hopefully)
Playing a game with day time is now dangerous (Set your game to always be night, change daylight length between -1 and 0 a couple of times)
Added a death penalty to reinforce that dying loses the challenge.
Crucible can now be scrapped for 15 mechanical parts.
Gyrocopter Chassis needs 10 less mechanical parts to craft.
Lowered the health of the hardened chest to 10,000 so it can be harvested for mechanical parts.

hahaha😆

I made it out of the Spencer residence!
This was a very difficult and interesting mod.
Thanks to the author for making it, and to chikorina for introducing it in Japan.
I'd like to thank you for taking the time to make it.
Survivors should definitely give it a try!😊

Congratulations to both of you for finishing!  Yes,  I noticed people playing this complaining a lot because it's so hard to scrounge up all the resources necessary to craft the gyrocopter,  but all that hard work definitely pays off.  The feeling of accomplishment after all that hard work is amazing.  One streamer said he nearly cried😄

Hi there.  I've just downloaded the mod and am finding it confusing where everything goes.  I have download the mod and have a 'Mods' folder with 3 folders and and a 'Data' folder.  I have taken a copy of the game and saved outside of Steam.  Apologies for the long post but this is where I think everything goes:


Mods>zzz_SpenserMansion_JPLocalization = this should stay within the 'Mod' folder in the newly created save of the game

Mods>SpencerMansion_World_and_Prefabs = World - goes into the worlds folder with all other generated worlds.  Prefabs - delete existing prefab folder and replace with this one.  ModInfo.xml - [I have no idea where this goes]

Mods>Khelldon-CustomMenu = this should stay within the 'Mod' folder in the newly created save of the game
Data>Config = this replaces the config folder in the newly created save of the game.

 

I would be grateful for clarification that I have this correct as, I have just tried to start a new gamesave and I got stuck at building environment (like for 10 mins), before i force shut it down.

 

Many thanks

It sounds like you deleted the Data folder and pasted the modded Data folder?
You have to overwrite the existing Data folder, so all of the files that are modded will overwrite the vanilla files, while leaving the files that are untouched intact.
The worlds folder within the Mods folder stays in the Mods folder, no need to put it in the GeneratedWorlds folder.

In short, a simple copy/paste/confirm overwrite.

Okay I give up what's the secret item that the Claw hammer is telling me I'm 'missing' when trying to repair either the Workbench or the Forge? It shows the Repair kit icon but even with 9 repair kits it's still not working??

Are you a Resident Evil fan?
Are you up for a challenge?

 

 

Welcome to Resident Evil, where it all began!

I started building the Spencer Mansion back in August 2017 (Alpha 16.2), I've been working on this passion project of mine for 3 and a half years now. I am very pleased with the final build and would love to share it with the 7 Days to Die community, so that you may all enjoy a very unique 7 Days experience.

This is a replica of the Spencer Mansion as close to a 1:1 scale within the limitations of the game, using only vanilla assets.

The goal of the challenge is to build a Gyrocopter and use it to fly to the trader, talking to the trader will complete the challenge.

But of course there are rules!

Any of the following will automatically lose the challenge:
(1) Dying.
(2) Going outside the boundary of the mansion on foot. (there's a visible boundary don't worry, and there's nothing out there anyway)
(3) Using any console commands. (only exception is for performance improvements)
(4) Editing any of the files.

(5) Using any modlets. (with the exception of localization)
(6) Playing with any amount of day time period.

(7) Playing with more than 125% XP and/or more than 134% Loot.


How to install (If not using Mod Launcher):

(1) Make a fresh copy of the vanilla game folder (A19.3 or A19.4), rename the copy to something like '7 Days to Die Spencer Mansion Incident'.
(2) Extract the Data and Mods folders to the new copy you've just created. Example location    C:\Steam Games\Survival\7 Days To Die Spencer Mansion Incident

 


PLEASE READ: When playing the mod for the first time or when playing it again after playing another mod/vanilla, you'll have to change all of the settings at least once so the game recognizes the new settings. If you don't, you could be playing with 200% Loot, 300% XP, et cetera, unintentionally. More importantly, you want to avoid playing with any day time. You WILL NOT have a good time if you have day time. So be sure to change your settings before playing. When making a game, be sure to select 'Spencer Mansion Incident' as your world name.

 



Optional extra challenges for those super fans: (Feel free to record your gameplay for boasting)
(1) Knife Only: Finish the game with only using either the Survival Knife or Combat Knife. Machete doesn't count.
(2) Untouchable: Finish the game without ever taking any damage from any sources.
(3) Speed Run: Finish the game as fast as possible. (Some potential competition for people)
(4) Poisoned: Upon starting a new game, use the console command "buff buffpoisoned" (without quotations, this is an exemption to the console command rule) and finish the game without ever curing your poison.

Hi there, when you launch the mod using the 7 Days to die mod launcher, make a new game, but switch your map to the provided map for the Spencer Incident.  I had the same issue when I first got into this amazing mod.

 

Best of luck!!!

I had a bit of trouble figuring this out, but we eventually used the mod launcher. I still don't think its right because there is no mansion. Or do you have to traverse the whole map to find it?

 

I'll respond to your original post, if you aren't seeing those options then you haven't got all of the files, at the very least the localization file. This mod doesn't work well on dedicated servers, but it's fine on privately hosted games. The doors bug out on servers, breaking the whole progression of the challenge.

Single player is the intended experience.

Hi. Very nice story-mod. I the end I was short on boes and leather. So I couldn't finish it. So to everyone who starts the game... collect them bones and leather!^^

But anyway; good job bringing the concept to life.

Your Mod has some heavy BUG!

I cant Move as soon as i unpack your Backpack that´s in Inventory! Not with the Arrows not with W,A,S,D!!!!

I cant access Game Options like Graphic,Audio!

I got the latest Version of 7DtD!!!

You can't be encumbered at all, otherwise you can't move. This is to replicate the limited inventory of Resident Evil.

In 19.5 you can't access options, but in 19.4 you can. (Alternatively, you can load up vanilla to access options and they'll be applied in the mod)

Please read all the information within the quest logs. Be sure you set the daylight length to 0
