A20.6 EXP


Hated

Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!

 

While Alpha 21's production goes full steam ahead, there is a list of fixes compatible with A20 we did not want you all to wait on any longer!

 

To participate:

1. right click on the game in steam 

2. click on properties

3. click the "betas" tab

4. the drop down menu will have latest_experimental available   ← you want THAT

5. select that and wait for the game to download.

 

Due to Microsoft requirements, custom prefabs can no longer be saved directly to the game folder.
They will be saved to the User Defined Folder (UDF).
This default location is:

\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\LocalPrefabs


To avoid having to re-save each POI one at a time in the prefab editor, all POI's currently located in...

\Steam\steamapps\common\7 Days To Die\Data\Prefabs

...should be manually moved to the UDF.


The UDF can be declared in the game launcher as a command line parameter.
Add the following to the command line:

Format:

-UserDataFolder=<YOUR_DRIVE_LOCATION><YOUR_FOLDER_LOCATION>


Example:

-UserDataFolder=C:\MyUserData


The UDF can also be set in the serverconfig.xml file.

Format:

<property name="UserDataFolder" value="<YOUR_SERVER_DRIVE_LOCATION><YOUR_SERVER_FOLDER_PATH><YOUR_FOLDER_LOCATION>" />

Example:

<property name="UserDataFolder" value="C:\MyServer\Users\TFP\123456\MyDediSaves" />

No more bones, rotten meat and feathers delivery service? 😉

 

Yeah, that is true, i actually used it for that, but that´s simply fixed, just get hurt a bit. What actually bothers me, is that i used to jump on a vehicle before looting a POI in the desert/wasteland to get rid of all the vultures nearby so they won´t bother me during raiding the POI once i get wounded.

I've always used it when I had a clear quest to do and the last zombie is a vulture flying around somewhere on the side of the building.

Is there going to be a fix for Zombies standing up in 1 and 1 1/2 block spaces, cops standing up and spitting thru blocks?  Also, Zombies falling thru the earth when dropping from a height.  This I have seen happen in creators' videos and have had it happen to me.  There was an increase in this issue (for me) in the 20.4 and 20.5 updates.

Hordes in this version are the same as last version and no issues. You might post a copy of your output log using pastebin. Instructions are in the pinned topic under General Support for locating the log and using pastebin.com to post a copy of the log. Most issues with the game are noted in that log.

I know I am playing alpha 20.5 (b2) but this post is talking about alpha 20.6! How do I update to this version. As far as toning down the birds I read here, everytime Im on my bike (no less on roofs) they follow me everywhere and kick the crap out of me...lol!!

As long as you have the Steam-version of the game, just read and follow the instructions on the beginning of the fist post here ("To participate"...).

If you're not on Steam - I dunno 😉

Welcome to our great love of 7Days! See above post about how to update.. It's a lot about timing with the birds... Trying to shoot them is a bit difficult since their hit box is small. Enjoy the game!

I feel like we need more info on this.  Where is it being stored For single player, is this being stored in the registry? (not from my testing).  If you launch directly from Steam or Vortex does it pick up the setting or is that only thru the launcher?

I asked Pickysaurus (Nexus dev) to look at these changes for the Vortex extension but I see a problem if users set their own path and nobody knows where to find it.

Edit: found it in AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\launchersettings.json.  Feels like an odd spot to me tho.
