A16 Valmod Pack

[ATTACH=CONFIG]17350[/ATTACH]

I'm getting this error on a brand new install. Any idea how to solve it please? (latest A14 build btw)

 

(forum image doesn't seem to be working so here's another link : https://postimg.org/image/y2mgyv3sv/)

 

I was having similar issues after the last two game patches. For random gen maps, this is what happened to me and what I did to get around it.

 

-Start a NEW Random Gen Map. Either get a bunch of red console errors, or I am waiting for more than 5 minutes for it to load.

 

-Alt-Tab out to Windows (7 pro), use Task Manager to force quit the game.

 

-Start a new Navezgane map. That should load just fine. Wait until you get all of the starting quests to load.

 

-Quit the Navezgane map, then load the previous Random Gen map. This time is should load.

 

(I had this issue since I joined the a15 beta, both with and without ValMod)

Oops, sorry. Didn't notice that it was for a14. (a14.7, right?)

 

--Is this a previously played map or a new one? I would remove the game through Steam and the game's folder from Windows, and reinstall the game, then reinstall the patch. (ask in a post for help with that)

Updated for b104.

 

TY!

 

Where is the download link?

 

 

Best Regards

 

Edit:

 

its the b94 link!

A14.7 yes, but it happens as soon as I launch the game, before the main menu.

 

Edit: Tried reinstalling, didn't work.

A14.7 is a long-standing stable branch. It should be working fine, it hasn't been changed in a while. Are you sure you downloaded the A14 version of the mod and not the A15 experimental?

 

Add me to steam and we can troubleshoot it more personally if you'd like.

with b104 and the files of the first post dl-link (b94). Try to break in a tool-shop. Got red massages in the console. Only thing I could read, was something with "vending machine" Had to force quit the game. After restart the same.

I suspect I know what it was. Hopefully is fixed now.

Got an error running the new b104 build

 

 

Something around INF error, saving chunks.

 

Not sure if its Valmod or the engine?

The image is sadly too small for me to make out what the console is saying. However it might be related to the earlier bug Narimbur reported and I fixed a few hours back. Redownload the mod to grab the latest files and see if that resolves it. If not, then I will have to look into the matter more closely.

[Valmar]

Updated the Horde edition version to work with b104. Also restructured it. Now it only contains the three files that are changed from Overhaul. Install Overhaul first then put the Horde Edition on top of it to if you want it.

 

Items.xml - makes headshots deadly and bodyshots weaker.

 

spawning.xml - ramps up the zombie spawn setting considerably so you have more to contend with.

 

entityclasses.xml - disabled running zombie's climbing and running.

 

 

You can use any of these files interchangeably to suit your needs. So if you only want headshots, you can just add the items.

Call to Testers!

 

I have a new version of Valmod Overhaul (b104 build) that completely overhauls (heh, pun) the progression system in many ways. I'm mainly testing this out and would love to get some feedback on the new approach. So far I do enjoy what I've done with it but it does need more eyes on it to spot possible faults or issues.

 

What has changed, you may ask? Well, a huge reduction in the amount of perks, for one. Almost every recipe is now connected to a /skill/, not a perk. What does that mean? Well, now, to unlock the Pistol, for example, you have to level up Pistols to level 20. This goes for many other recipes aswell. You could now gradually unlock more medical recipes as your skill in medicine levels up, just for example.

 

What perks are still kept also now function with a new system. Perks now only give you the recipe when they have been maxed out (or at a certain level, if specified otherwise). So while a perk may still cost 10 skill points it will now have 10 levels instead of just 1 level for 10 points.

 

Many new books have been added to the game that you can find that will add various skills or perks. However now that perks have multiple levels you will not instantly max out and learn a recipe from a perk just from finding one book. For example finding a chainsaw schematic will not max out the perk and unlock the recipe instantly, but it will put points into to make it cheaper to purchase if you desire. Or you can wait till you find another to keep leveling the perk for free to get the recipe.

 

Your skill level in a specific gun now determines the quality loss from repairs. Gun Smithing is no longer a thing. If you never used a shotgun before repairing it will cost you more quality. If you've mastered pistols repairing them will cost you less.

 

Here is a quick rundown of new skills/perks or other changes and what unlocks what.

Any and all feedback on this version would be greatly appreciated! Unless it gets a lot of hate this will likely one day become the new Overhaul standard.

 

Valmod Overhaul Experimental Edition

[Roncor]

Sweet can't wat to try it this will work on the alpha 15 stable?

[Valmar]

Yes. When I call it "experimental edition" what I mean is that its an experimental prototype of Valmod, not that its intended for an experimental build of 7DTD.

 

Both my experimental edition and my Valmod Overhaul (main download) are both A15 stable compatible.

[Felipe_Oyabu]

About Expansion version

 

Valvar you gonna update the expansion to A15?

 

for now i'll try the experimental version...

[Roncor]

Can't wait to get home and give it a try looking forward to it and you do a fantastic job on the mods

[Valmar]

Valvar you gonna update the expansion to A15?

 

for now i'll try the experimental version...

 

I am, it just takes time.

 

The Overhaul I basically already had updated to A15 since I was keeping up with their beta build. The Expansion Pack however I have to start from scratch, more or less. That takes time. Lots of time. It will probably take me a few days. But yes, I do fully plan on updating Expansion Pack to work with A15.

[Moloch]

When was the last time you updated your files? The merchant order should be 420.

 

 

Sorry - that's a remark on the difference between merchant order and vendor.

 

If I use in game vendor to buy 30 bullets it costs 1,200 dukes for the stack versus 420 dukes via merchant order. Creating a loop which could be exploited for infinite ammo/increasing currency.

[narimbur]

use your new version with b105:

 

-can't find receipt for whetstone, only find it in items.xml

[Loktar]

Icons

 

I am abit new to this Mod community, but I did as intructed. But for some reason the game does not pickup the icons in the "mods" folder. The mods folder was not present when I copied it over either. Did I place it wrong?

 

I could enter the modded game fine and everything worked, but no icons for the new stuff that is added?

 

On a side note I think this Modsounds great. Me and my friends look forward to test it later today.

 

Thanks for any answers you may provide Valmar.

 

edit:

Nevermind, I am blind. I just didnt read at the end of the guide. My bad

[zakhad]

I would like to petition for the cost of leasing a vending machine to be reduced from 2500 dukes, which 30 days. (60 real life hours, but that's tied to my game timelapse duration)

 

Might I suggest that their could be different leasing times for various machines? Daily rental / 3 day rental / weekly rental / 2 weeks rental / monthly (in game time)

 

My reasoning would be by the time I ever get remotely close to 2500 dukes I would have a end game tools like chainsaws auger iron/steel plate minibike etc by then it doesn't fit the scale of when you're able to lease one vs if its even worth anything by that point.

 

While on topic talking about prices, the bullet tumbler has a base price of 1 duke.

 

I do prefer the changes you've made to the skill system, I haven't played it long enough to suggest any changes though.

[visageiii]

hey Val, could you release the base changes per file? ex.... the items file, rather than a complete file, just the changes you made to the file inside a file named... Items_Val_exp.txt or items_val_overhaul.txt ? that way we could pick and chose which files to add to customize our game world?

Strange. I'm not really sure whats up with that. I might just remove the recipes for it now anyway. The merchant delivery box was only meant to be a stand-in for merchants, anyway.

 

use your new version with b105:

 

-can't find receipt for whetstone, only find it in items.xml

 

There is no recipe for it. You harvest it from mining boulders or stone.

Out of curiosity was it related to playing on a server and needing the mod installed locally?

I'm not entirely sure how the vending system works. What you suggest should be possible but would require new blocks. With the block ID limit being what it is I really don't want to do that. I'll keep the idea in mind though. I think you can keep buying time on them, can't you? You could then set the default time to 3 days and reduce the cost. Then you just keep buying more time as you need it to stack it. I'm not sure if thats possible yet but I assume it would be.

 

Most of my items added have no EconomicValue and thus likely all default to 1. Hopefully overtime I will add some more appropriate values to them.

 

I appreciate you taking the time to try out the experimental build.

I don't think you realize the sheer magnitude of what you're requesting. It would be practically impossible to do that in any feasible way and require a lot of work. Especially for something only one or two people will use and anyone else who tries to use it will probably not understand it and break something.

 

I share many various individual mods in my mod collection that come from Valmod. That would be a better place to look for such things.

[zakhad]

I've changed it myself manually by editing the traders.xml

 

	<!-- Rented - Vending Machine -->
<trader_info id="5" reset_interval="-1" override_buy_markup="1.0" override_sell_markup="1.0" allow_sell="false" rentable="true" rent_cost="2500" rent_time="30" />

 

I changed / marked down / quantified down? for a 3 day rental at rent_cost="250" rent_time="3" maintaining the same cost / duration just as as a bite sized chunk of 3 days at 250 instead of 1 month for 2500

 

Just a personal preference.

 

Edit - I didn't realise I could sell items to the vendor -,- I thought it was only in the rented machine, but ah well I do prefer the bite size rent duration/cost as opposed to the whole chunk at 2500 for a 30 days.

 

Editing these as I notice them.

 

Items with no value (Mod items)

 

Peroxide

Light Bulb

 

Suggested that the price be changed, posted below is their current selling value.

 

Burning Barrel - 2 dukes. (it has no practical value in the vanilla game, but in this mod its used for a recipe ~I forgot what :S)
