Wyr3d's Mods - A21 Compatible

[wyr3d]

So, I've finished updating all my A20 mods (at least all the ones that would still fit into A21 without detracting from the intent/would still fit into A21 without looking janky/could be assed actually updating) and realized that I never got around to adding a post on this forum that directs to my mods since I upload my 7 Days to Die mods on CurseForge along with my World of Warcraft addons, and MineCraft texture packs. My Project Zomboid stuff is available at Steam Workshop, coz Steam is weird.

That said, here's a breakdown of all my 7 Days to Die Mods with appropriate links for ease of access. As some of these are either A20, or A21 and some have a version for both, be sure to download the correct version for your game:

For the most part mods that are A20 only I decided not to update to 21 based on changes in game mechanics that would either negatively impact gameplay, or have made them irrelevant.  I doo intend on updating the Prefabs mod, but prefabs take a lot of time to design, and since A21 removed a ton of blocks, converting them is not that much better than starting from scratch. I will prolly get around to this one after A21 reaches a Stabel build, coz I don't wanna have to do it more than once if they decided to change some more POI stuff.

NJDP is now A21 compliant (see edit history)

Rendering fat from meat is a nice touch! If you or anyone else were to add olives, soybeans, or any other oil-bearing plants of commercial/industrial significance, to the game, a hand operated oil press would be convenient.

[Guppycur]

My style of play, looking good.

NAILS YES!

Any decent companion mods yet?

Navigate to your game installation drive, and then go through the path as follows:

Steam/steamapps/common/7 Days to Die

Here you will need to create a folder called "mods" if you don't already have one, and then them in that and unpack it. It works the same as the other mods, since I wanted them to integrate with Random World Generation. ^^

For those of you who read my post on Perks and Magazines, the latest mod I added here (top of the list) addresses the points I brought up in that post. Or many you are just interested in the idea of a balanced out the perk system, rather than the Intellect heavy one The Fun Pimps has in the current build. In either case, check it out an dtell me what you think.

Mod is safe for existing saves, as the moved perks will copy over their current values (if you had a few points in Lockpicking/Intellect, these will be moved over with the mods Lockpicking/Persception - but bare in mind any points put into a new perk (such as Strength's new Handy Man) will be lost if you decide to revert back to since the game is unable to track perks not in the vanilla. Sadly it doesn't do simple math and refund the missing points either, so best to keep backups of your saves.

Also updated Not Just Iron Explosives to include Hubcap decorations as a source of hubcaps (prevously scrap iron)

For those of you having issues with the new magazine system for whichever reason that may be, I have now created a new mod that should ease your struggle somewhat. Not Just a Slow Learner increases the skill points each magazine gives in it's skill so now you won't have to grind as many magazines as before. Those skills requiring 100 magazines now only require 20, and those that required less than that are even quicker to level.

Personally I think this is cheese, but whatever floats one's boat I guess.

How hard would it be to make each book 2 skills ups and cut the books that drop in half to make up for it? I'm thinking this will be a pain thought I would ask though. My issue with book system is not how long it takes, it's the immersion breaking part with so many book/magazine drops.

Simple enough I guess, since I already done the work. The first part is a simple a matter of copying the files for Not Just a Slow Learner and editing the value down to 2 from 5 for each magazine. This would make the total needed for a 100 skill 50, instead of 20. After for loot frquency, that would be a different file, but since the Devs have already provided a change for that, it's again a simple matter of adjusting the values to something like:

Skill magazines are currently set to medium probability, so switching this to low (as above) would cut the drop rate, but iunno how the game would react to that. Chances are perk books, and schematics would be more common. The alternative is to set all of these to low, but then not sure if that would make any difference if they are all essentially the same value. Finally, one could create a new group - filled with paper for example (in this case all the filler groups, but these groups would also have to be added into the loot table) - and set the frequency on that to high. Then most fo the loot containers would just be paper - but iunno if anyone would actually want that lol

added example (see edit history)

So, a slight issue me and guys I play with have discovered that Not Just A Slow Learner, not all of the skill books go up by 5 when read. The ones we have notices are the rifle and pistol books, and if I find more, I'll edit it. How would I go about fixing it so said books did go the amount?

expanding statement (see edit history)

[wyr3d]

I don't use it myself, so maybe I missed a typo or something. There's been another EX update though, so I'll have to check that all the mods are still working in any case, so I'll look into it, and make updates if needed. If it's not a typo, then the only other thing I can think of is if you are using another mod that changes the same data, that may be causing a conflict.

EDIT - So, I've just tested this in the new Alpha, and it's working fine. I did not change anything, I simply downloaded my mod, and popped it into the mods folder. As i mentioned above, if you are seeing an issue it is probably due to a conflict with some other mod that is also changing the same same data.

Please try starting a game with just this mod installed, and let me know if that works fine by itself (as it should since I have just tested it by spawning every magazine, and specifically on the Rifle World magazine by spawning 20 and getting +5 for each one to 100) then I would suggest adding each of your other mods to find out which one is causing the conflict ^^

[Mani21Axe]

It is now all working, idk what was wrong there, but thank you for the reply

[wyr3d]

Not Just Default Prefabs now has a A21 version. ^^

(If it's not showing up yet please be patient while Curseforge do their thing)

Edited June 29, 2023 by wyr3d (see edit history)

[wyr3d]

Not Just Default Prefabs now A21 version is apparently still under review at Cursforge. Please continue to be patient for now. Hoepfully it will be approved as soon as possible ^^

Edit: Finally approved. Should be available now ^^

[wyr3d]

Haven't played 7D2D for a bit, so lemme know if the change to a stable build caused any issues with any of these mods. Thanks 

[MrSamuelAdams]

Not Just Default Prefabs  just place this in the mods folder or does it have to go in prefabs too?

[wyr3d]

It works like any other mod. Just shove it in the mods folder.

It is best used with a freshly generated world, coz it adds them to the RWG as options. In this manner they integrate flawlessly, and you will find multiples all over like any other POI. But if you want them in a pre-existing world, you would need to go ito world editor and add them manually

[MrSamuelAdams]

Thank you! 

[MrSamuelAdams]

Also, I'm super interested in this mod Not Just Imbalanced Perks (new)

is there a description and what it all entails?

 

I figured it out! EDIT

is there a list of the names of the new POIs (or also pictures of them)
I would like to add them to my current world via the world editor

[wyr3d]

@MrSamuelAdams - Yeah, some of the links go direct to the download tab rather than the description, but each mod has a tab where they are breifly explained. Glad you found it XD
 

@OpenWindow - If you search for "wyr3d" in the prebab editior, it will filter out the rest to only show the ten POIs for this mod. That's the easiest way to get the information you are looking for

[wyr3d]

There should be a section just for posts that include mods links..

[wyr3d]

Please let me know if the latest A21 update broke any of the A21 mods, thanks. I have been busy with other stuff, and have not been playing 7D2D myself.
