Survival No Trader (SNT) 7DTD XML mod.

 

 

This mod removes the ability to trade and get quests from Traders. It balances the game to reflect no trading or trader-questing. Traders are still present in the world as part of the storyline, they just ignore you. Survival No Trader is not intended to be easier or harder than vanilla 7DTD, just slightly different. Some things are a bit easier, some things will be a bit harder.

 

Special thanks to Khaine and his work - this mod contains a couple of Khaine's QOL modlets.

 

This is an A21 compatible XML mod.
Can be used on existing maps but should start a new game.
The code can be used freely just be aware that some ui code is Khaines (commented as such in the xml) and is under his license.

 

Current Version 1.1.4 Download: Survival No Trader rar download

 

Background: You are one of 4 siblings from the Harrington Clan out East. You run point for your crew. Your family is engaged in an extended war and the war brings you here. You're exploring the area to find new sources of weapons and supplies. You've heard rumors that this area is rich for the pickings, with both the Duke's gang and the Traders moving in to sift through whatever remains of civilization.

 

Your objectives are to:
 - establish a base that can withstand zombie attacks as a foothold for your clan in the territory.
 - disrupt the Duke's supply chain. Strip the good loot without tipping them off to your presence.
 - identify Trader locations. Map out the extent of their presence and capabilities. Determine if they are friend or foe.  
 

Changes and Additions:
*Includes the removal of all POI Names and Skulls (Khaine's code - link in next post*)
Removed Trader Quests
Removed Trader Buy/Sell ability
Removed Trader opening and closing sounds, Trader will now just cough in an annoyed manner before kicking you out.
Removed 'White River Citizen' and intro starter quests.
Added 2 mini challenges for unique one-of-a-kind end game items.  
    1) Missing Patrol Car - loot (lots of) Cop Cars with pickaxe for chance to kickstart.
    2) Mary's Revenge - triggered at a 4000 Kill Streak, see buff below.
Added buff that tracks current zombie Kill Streak. Triggers Mary's Revenge at 4000. Counter resets on death.

 

Added 3 new GrandPa's drink recipes. Crafted in campfire.
Gold, Silver and Diamonds all have the same (low) drop rate - used in the new Grandpa's recipes.
Added very small chance to get one of the new GrandPas recipes from the Vending Machines.
Vending machines dont restock. They only have what they spawn with.
Added additional mod slot to 'Top Level' Tier 6 items e.g. for T6 steel & military armour but not T6 leather or scrap armour. See info in next post**.
Added craftable broodnest for birds. Looks and behaves the same as general ground nests for eggs and feathers.
Reworked the Airdrop loot for no trader balance. A large portion of the Airdrop loot ignores lootstage. Small chance to get something good regardless of level.
Added Solarbank recipe (available at level 50). Small chance for a Solarbank in Airdrop loot.
Added small chance for Solar Panels in Airdrops and forced open Police Cars.

Adjusted Motorcycle traction so it no longer fishtails like a wet noodle, can now corner like you are in the TT races.

 

Small chance for a Bear to spawn in the Pine Forest (where else are they going to poop)
Small chance for a Dire Wolf to spawn in the Desert
Small increase in zombies in Desert, Snow and Wasteland biomes - relative to the biomes difficulty rating.

Modified Random Gen for new generated maps. Increased number and size of towns and cities on default and large maps.

 

Changed how some mods are found in the world. Some mods dont spawn independently in loot anymore, they can now only be found as attachements on items that spawn in loot. The mods can still be crafted with their respective schematics. See info in next post ***.

Crouching now steadies your aim. Added ranged weapon effects when Crouching.

Modified the firing sounds of the Pump and Auto shotguns.

 

Added Hybrid Learn By Use Action Skills. Increase half of all Perk Damage, Stamina, Harvesting etc. values by using tools and weapons. Upgrade the other half of the stats increases using the Perk Tree as normal. Allows flexibility in how you progress with tools and weapons.  Receive a bonus skill point when each Skill maxes at level 50.  See info in next post****.

        Added Global Config variables so anyone can easily control the Learn-By-Use leveling curve for all Perks.

       Added config setting to turn off giving a free skill point when each Perk's Progress is maxed. (On by default).

       See progression.xml, look for the line: "<!--change the values below to change the levelling curve...." for information

(Hybrid Learn By Use is based on the Action Skill levelling algorithm by Khaine from the Darkness Falls mod://community.7daystodie.com/topic/4941-darkness-falls-they-mostly-come-out-at-night/ )

 

Changed Awesome Sauce buff. Now adds 30 to base lootstage.
Changed Pumpkin Cheesecake buff. Now adds 5% to lootstage.
Changed Magnum Perk book 'Enforcer Intimidation' buff. Now adds 7 to base lootstage when holding any .44 weapon while looting.
Changed Cigar. Gives 10% to Block Damage instead of Bartering.

Reworked Better Barter - now craft various Kandy and get small % lootstage bonus with each level.
Jail Breakers now give a 95% reduction to lockpicking time in addition to standard unbreakable pick buff.
Reworked Daring Adventurer - now craft bundle recipes for construction blocks to save 20% and up on materials.
Removed Sugar Butts.

 

Can burn OldCash for fuel, now has decent burn potential as it cant be used for trade.

Spotlights can now rotate on all axis for placement.

Can scrap Anvils and Crucibles.

Can now recycle/scrap Tool and Weapon parts. Select either Recipes->Iron or Recipes->Scrap Polymer depending on the Part, then the amount to scrap .

Added ability to scrap ammunition. Select ammo and then select Recipes to create an Ammo Parts Bundle. Opening the bundle returns 75% of the ammo's construction costs.

 

75% chance to get a Filter from broken Dew Collectors.
75% chance of seed drop.
Extended the time loot bags stay in the world by a considerable amount.
Slight increase in chance for additional food, medical and murky water in select containers.
Adjusted Interior lighting.
Adjusted fog intensity in all biomes, reduced rain in Deserts and the Wasteland. Some other minor changes.
T4 and T5 Hardened Chests can be harvested for use as storage when chests destroyed (eg. with pickaxe)
Increased T4 & T5 chests storage size from 72 slots to 110.

Small chance for a Bear to spawn in the Pine Forest (where else are they going to poop)
Small chance for a Dire Wolf to spawn in the Desert
Small increase in zombies in Desert, Snow and Wasteland biomes - relative to the biomes difficulty rating.

Modified Random Gen for new generated maps. Increased number and size of towns and cities on default and large maps.

Crouching now steadies your aim. Added ranged weapon effects when Crouching :

       Increases max range 10%, Weapons Handling 13%.

       Reduces Spread Multiplier 15%, Kickback 5%, ADS Stamina cost reduction.

 

Changed Awesome Sauce buff. Now adds 30 to base lootstage.
Changed Pumpkin Cheesecake buff. Now adds 5% to lootstage.
Changed Magnum Perk book 'Enforcer Intimidation' buff. Now adds 7 to base lootstage when holding any .44 weapon while looting.
Changed Cigar. Gives 10% to Block Damage instead of Bartering.

Reworked Better Barter - now craft various Kandy and get small % lootstage bonus with each level.
Jail Breakers now give a 95% reduction to lockpicking time in addition to standard unbreakable pick buff.
Reworked Daring Adventurer - now craft bundle recipes for construction blocks to save 20% and up on materials.
Removed Sugar Butts.

 

Added Hybrid Learn By Use Action Skills. Increase half of all Perk Damage, Stamina, Harvesting etc. values by using tools and weapons. Upgrade the other half of the stats increases using the Perk Tree as normal. Allows flexibility in how you progress with tools and weapons - progress with a tool or weapon doesn't need to interfere with a magazine strategy.

Receive a bonus skill point when each Skill maxes at level 50.  See info in next post****.

        Added Global Config variables so anyone can easily control the Learn-By-Use leveling curve for all Perks.
        See progression.xml, look for the line: "<!--change the values below to change the levelling curve...." for information

(Hybrid Learn By Use is based on the Action Skill levelling algorithm by Khaine from the Darkness Falls mod://community.7daystodie.com/topic/4941-darkness-falls-they-mostly-come-out-at-night/ )

Survival No Trader (SNT) 7DTD XML mod.

 

 

This mod removes the ability to trade and get quests from Traders. It balances the game to reflect no trading or trader-questing. Traders are still present in the world as part of the storyline, they just ignore you. Survival No Trader is not intended to be easier or harder than vanilla 7DTD, just slightly different. Some things are a bit easier, some things will be a bit harder.

 

Special thanks to Khaine and his work - this mod contains a couple of Khaine's QOL modlets.

 

This is an A21 compatible XML mod.
Can be used on existing maps but should start a new game.
The code can be used freely just be aware that some ui code is Khaines (commented as such in the xml) and is under his license.

 

Current Version 1.1.3 Download: Survival No Trader rar download

 

Background: You are one of 4 siblings from the Harrington Clan out East. You run point for your crew. Your family is engaged in an extended war and the war brings you here. You're exploring the area to find new sources of weapons and supplies. You've heard rumors that this area is rich for the pickings, with both the Duke's gang and the Traders moving in to sift through whatever remains of civilization.

 

Your objectives are to:
 - establish a base that can withstand zombie attacks as a foothold for your clan in the territory.
 - disrupt the Duke's supply chain. Strip the good loot without tipping them off to your presence.
 - identify Trader locations. Map out the extent of their presence and capabilities. Determine if they are friend or foe.  
 

Changes and Additions:

Can burn OldCash for fuel, now has decent burn potential as it cant be used for trade.

Spotlights can now rotate on all axis for placement.

Added very small chance to get one of the new GrandPas recipes from the Vending Machines.

Added 3 new GrandPa's drink recipes. Crafted in campfire.
Gold, Silver and Diamonds all have the same (low) drop rate - used in the new Grandpa's recipes.
Added very small chance to get one of the new GrandPas recipes from the Vending Machines.
Vending machines dont restock. They only have what they spawn with.
Added additional mod slot to 'Top Level' Tier 6 items e.g. for T6 steel & military armour but not T6 leather or scrap armour. See info at end**.
Added craftable broodnest for birds. Looks and behaves the same as general ground nests for eggs and feathers.
Added ability to scrap ammunition. Select ammo and then select Recipes to create an Ammo Parts Bundle. Opening the bundle returns 75% of the ammo's construction costs.
Added Solarbank recipe (available at level 50). Small chance for a Solarbank in Airdrop loot.
Added small chance for Solar Panels in Airdrops and forced open Police Cars.

Adjusted Motorcycle traction so it no longer fishtails like a wet noodle, can now corner like you are in the TT races.
Changed how some mods are found in the world. Some mods dont spawn independently in loot anymore, they can now only be found as attachements on items that spawn in loot. The mods can still be crafted with their respective schematics. See info at end ***.

 

Small chance for a Bear to spawn in the Pine Forest (where else are they going to poop)
Small chance for a Dire Wolf to spawn in the Desert
Small increase in zombies in Desert, Snow and Wasteland biomes - relative to the biomes difficulty rating.

Modified Random Gen for new generated maps. Increased number and size of towns and cities on default and large maps.

 

Changed Awesome Sauce buff. Now adds 30 to base lootstage.
Changed Pumpkin Cheesecake buff. Now adds 5% to lootstage.
Changed Magnum Perk book 'Enforcer Intimidation' buff. Now adds 7 to base lootstage when holding any .44 weapon while looting.
Changed Cigar. Gives 10% to Block Damage instead of Bartering.

Reworked Better Barter - now craft various Kandy and get small % lootstage bonus with each level.
Jail Breakers now give a 95% reduction to lockpicking time in addition to standard unbreakable pick buff.
Reworked Daring Adventurer - now craft bundle recipes for construction blocks to save 20% and up on materials.
Removed Sugar Butts.

 

Added Hybrid Learn By Use Action Skills. Increase half of all Perk Damage, Stamina, Harvesting etc. values by using tools and weapons. Upgrade the other half of the stats increases using the Perk Tree as normal. Allows flexibility in how you progress with tools and weapons - progress with a tool or weapon doesn't need to interfere with a magazine strategy.

Receive a bonus skill point when each Skill maxes at level 50.  See info at end****.

        Added Global Config variables so anyone can easily control the Learn-By-Use leveling curve for all Perks.
        See progression.xml, look for the line: "<!--change the values below to change the levelling curve...." for information
