The mod is currently NOT WORKING for any multiplayer saves.

 

What does this mean?　We are thinking of an open multi-server where you can play with this mod. Are there any problems?

 

 

Unfortunately, there is a fundamental issue with a core feature of the mod which is currently bugged in all multiplayer environments.

 

I am working on a fix, but it needs more testing before it can be released.

 

Sorry.

[chikuwa]

It's a shame, because it looked like a fun mod.
I hope it will be fixed.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Hells_Janitor, this mod is near-perfection!  I'm so glad I gave it a try.  You've literally changed the game in every way I knew I wanted and in some I'd never thought of.  I wanted to give you some feedback - I hope its helpful.  Just one person's perspective and certainly not critiques...

 

Despair Feedback:  Have you ever watched ALONE?  There's this consistent thing where really great survivalists leave the show early - because they are thriving.  The loneliness and emptiness of their surroundings doesn't weigh heavy on them until they've stopped scrambling for essentials (shelter, water, food) and started carving spoons and making chairs and instruments.  

                   Early game is already tough - I felt like despair was just an unavoidable death mechanism before I had a headlight b/c I refuse to stand at a campfire all night long.  So I flipped your values for despair and health - as your health advances, so does your despair.  I'm finding it interesting - I have to keep an eye on it but its not wrecking my early game so much.  You could give folks some lavender oil in their starter kits too - if other feedback is that despair is too hard early on.

 

Fatties Are Boomers:  I like the adrenaline and challenge this poses, but I like to conserve ammo and pre-chemistry station, I find it very frustrating that they get knocked down and I cannot seem to melee-hit them in the head.  Sometimes its the space they are in.  If they are coming downstairs and that timer starts, its hopeless - they are taller and their head sits back too far on their shoulders - you can't melee.  I'm trying it out in my playthru with a negative requirement for "copbufftimer" on knockdown to minimize this frustration.

 

Headshots only:  maybe remove dogs and vultures from this.  Vulture heads are so small and dogs are tough enough (maybe that's just my refusal to use ammo early game). 

 

You really made for a challenging game.  I have a personal modlet that makes all quests harder (so if you pre-clear a quest POI then do the quest, its harder the second go) - I'm loving it with you mod.  The mutated have quite the health jump and regeneration rate - when they first appeared, I could barely kill one.  Do they get tougher the more you hit them?  Seems to punish a conservative approach (like kiting and using arrows or melee).  They became easier to kill though after I advanced a few levels but it was a shock how soon I was seeing boss-type zeds all over during the nights.

It's one of the reasons I gave a flashlight in the starter bag. Holding the flashlight has the same effect as the helmet light mod - the only drawback is, you gotta hold it. (torches are the same). I did consider making Despair increase as level increases, so you're never really ahead of it, but for now, I think I'll leave it as-is (although I appreciate the suggestion  )

Yeah - it's a problem in some situations. The "fatties" tend to have a much "higher on their head" hitbox to the other zeds, so there are definitely situations where it becomes "tricky" to hit the head. All adds to the challenge though, don't you think? 😛

I have removed vultures needing headshots in the latest patch, but I'm gonna keep dogs for now. I didn't want to start making too many "exceptions to the rule" if you know what I mean.

Hi there,

 

As I said on twitch it's great mod , really enjoy playing it.

 

Last night we continued our multi Player game on a server and noticed that the despair % are little bit off between the two of us . Friends % was always between 20-30% while my % was always between 60-70%.

 

Both of us had No injuries , tier 2 and 3 food and plenty of lavendel consumed.

 

I know there are some multiplayer issues but just a quick heads up

Are you playing the latest version of the mod?

Yeah 1.2

 

Took three lithium pills out of the CM we are currently playing and the despair % went down from 70 to just 30% within 75 minutes of play. Always well on food and drinks

Gonna be hard to troubleshoot this (if it is an issue). There are a number of factors that can increase despair, and it can be easy to let it get out of control if you're not careful. Not having a light source active (especially at night - even more so if you're not indoors), having over 80% "wetness", being freezing, sweltering, hungry, thirsty (both at the same time is bad), getting hit by zombies, being in close proximity to zombies, being injured - all of these things, individually and combined, have a negative effect on Despair.

Hello,

 

I thought I posted this on the 21st, but can't find what I typed up.  But  now that the mod is working, my friend and I played together and are really enjoying the challenges of this mod.  Only issue we had was with 'despair'.  We can't seem to keep it down, even when staying near a fire, being sheltered and eating food.  We see the campfire buff, but it didn't lower the despair or hold it at bay, just kept rising.  I've died once from it already and will soon die from it again.

[Hell-Fire]

Hello again,

 

Despair is now working properly for me and my friend.  A new question I have is about adding modlets to your mod.  We tried to add Khaine's Lockable Slots.  We tried manually installing it and tried using 7ModLauncher to install it, but it is not working.  Is there something we need to do to have these few additions working.  Other than about adding some additional mods, we are enjoying the new challenges, especially restarting again with your latest update.

I'm glad you managed to figure out the Despair mechanic, but I'm genuinely curious - why would you want to add Khaine's Lockable slots? Not that there's anything wrong with that mod, but:

1. There's already a lockable slots mod included with this mod, and

2. Khaine's mod is the same as the one that's been implemented in vanilla (so effectively obsolete in A21)

 

If you really prefer the vanilla method, you can remove WMMStashBackpack from the files, and then the vanilla version should work just fine. If you do that, obviously you'll lose some of the additional functionality that comes with that mod, like the stash all button.

Should be save game safe, but as always, back up your save, just in case

 The "tough" mutated zombies still have a big HP pool, I lowered the "normal" mutated zombies HP pool for scaling purposes. It's now more in line with the vanilla HP increase from normal, to feral, to radiated.

Adding a "giant of doom" that has a huge HP pool and only walks is a fun idea though

[Hells_Janitor]

Update 18/02/24

various balancing tweaks
Increased mod slots for T2 and T3 armour. Now 2,2,2,3,4,5 for Quality 1,2,3,4,5,6 Leather and Iron, and 3,3,3,4,5,6 for Quality 1,2,3,4,5,6 Military and Steel.
Added "corpse run" buff. After death, you have increased run speed, stamina regen, and damage resistance for 30 seconds.
Increased storage sizes for a few containers. NOTE: You 'may' get a console error when accessing the storage in a CURRENT save. If so, press 'F1', and type xui reload, or you can relog. That should fix it. New saves should be fine.
Added stats display for Red's Legendary Paintbrush.
Reworded its description.
A few more minor localization tweaks.
Added pick-up ability and crafting to several deco blocks/posters/signs/flags.
Added ability to pick up, place and power "cold beer" and "shop open" signs.
Expanded sinks variable helper to include bath tubs.
Expanded appliances variant helper to include wood burning stove.
Added craftable barbed wire variable shape helper block.
Non-specific (generic) repair kits are now more expensive to make.
Specific repair kits can now be made with a generic repair kit and a weapon/tool/armour part as required.
The "smell" mechanic is back! Carrying differing quantities of certain food will increase the heat map, and subsequently alert screamers.

 

Again, *should* be save game safe (read the note about increased storage sizes though!), but back-up your save, just in case  

 

[Hells_Janitor]

IMPORTANT!!!!

 

The "food smell" mechanic is currently NON-FUNCTIONAL in multiplayer. If you plan on using this mod in a multiplayer environment, make sure you remove the `ZZZZ-Food Smell` folder from your SERVER or your HOST.

 

Clients can keep this folder without issue, but it must NOT be present on the SERVER or the HOST.
