A16 Valmod Pack

[StompyNZ]

it rather does matter, since this is the age of the internet, and 90% of the people out there cant use google, or read, im stating, that I AM RECEIVING noob questions on the simple thing of adding the mods. as the "readme" file is not in what has always been a common practice since my early days of computer usage, the root directory

 

 

it doesnt matter anyway, as i wont be able to run the overhaul pack or plan on it in the near future without more testing, installing the progressions file now seems to cause issues on unmodded servers using vanilla files, which is something i cant have since i do need to scrap brass on 4 other vanilla base . servers. the mod, great, the compatibility, flawed. and NO, i have no desire to read 150+ pages of comments about people wanting behives of katana.

 

please, refrain from "holding it wrong" comments. the world is full of people that are afraid to "empty" their computer recycle bin. and yes, im using a foul tone, i login to an inbox full of pissed players because i recommended the file patching, before the files were pushed to the server. just glad i found this issue in time. the files were 30 min from getting uploaded. now im having to tell everyone how to fix something i recommended and broke playability on other servers.

 

If people can't do something as simple as extract a zip to a location then I doubt a read me file anywhere in the zip is going to help them

 

Also that progression file problem is a flaw in the game itself and the only other option is to not mod progression for mp servers

@Valmar, could you also include regular gunpowder crafting to Armory?

 

Can someone tell me where to find the Decor Artisan Station, Thx.

Sure.

 

The Decor Artisan Station you should be able to craft from the crafting menu if you're on overhaul 2.71

[vudugan]

Thx, I'll let the admin know

Mod Update

 

Version 2.8 is released.

 

Notable changes -

 

You should now be able to purchase guns and ammo from the merchant delivery box without needing to know the recipe.

 

The Decor Steel wall no longer uses spraypaint in the ingredient and starts off with a normal steel wall texture.

 

The brewery and the oil refiner are no longer used (they still exist however to preserve old game saves). The oil refiner has been replaced with a "Chemistry Station" which is where all these recipes are no crafted. I did this because, mainly, I wasn't terribly happy at having two workstations that had so few recipes in them and felt it would save space to do it all together. The chemistry station is locked behind the Chemistry book.

 

In the overhaul I have removed the beaker from the campfire entirely and placed it and its recipes in the chemistry station.

 

You can craft a water filter now that can be used in the chemistry station to filter your water.

 

You can craft a paper rack that you can use in the workbench to craft paper.

 

Plants can be harvested with the E key again like in vanilla. However you can still punch them. If you harvest them with the E key they will not replant themselves so its still good to harvest the old fashion Valmod way.

 

Stone Axe now counts as a construction tool instead of an axe.

 

Added more upgrade paths for the round corner blocks.

 

A new "trussing spike" that can't be upgraded but can be shoot through.

 

A new scythe weapon.

 

Rewrote the medical splint buff so now it should instantly cure sprained leg and reduce the time to heal a broken leg considerably.

 

With the help of Sorrowsthief1 I have reworked the GUI. Mainly my toolbelt. It should no longer hide the slot number behind the boxes when you scroll. I've also added "offline" versions of the files in the XUi folder that should work for those who have the game in the default install path but dont have an internet connection.

 

 

Some of the horde behavior has been slightly changed. My feral ravagers should no longer spawn in "normal" conditions and should now only show up during night hordes or roaming hordes past a certain day. This is to make the game a tad more forgiving early on.

 

Burnt spiders, crawlers and a boss has been added. They can appear as part of a new spawn group I like to call the Fire March. They can appear as a roaming night horde on day 26. They can also come as a Horde night spawn on day 63.

 

The gorilla boss now has a higher probability of showing up on the day 56 Horde.

[Dagzambie]

Looks like some fun changes! Thanks for keeping the brewery in the game- I used to own a brew pub and still homebrew, so I have a brewery room in my bunker with several brewery's in it. I did change the block to one of the large pipes to make it look more like a beer brewing set up than a winery. (I've also changed the chunky meat stew to require corn and potato, otherwise my farm would be practically useless)

Ramen noodles? Just need some teriyaki for a ramen/teriyaki/meat/assorted veg recipe I could live off that!

Thanks for the update! I'll check it out tonight.

[Valmar]

Well if I had removed the block it would had broken saves. DOn't thank me too much as it doesn't actually have any recipes attached to it anymore.

Ok, guess I have a little more XML editing to do, no biggie.

[StompyNZ]

In your next update could you consider adding recipes for the white/green/blue/red/orange metal blocks

 

They can create some really cool looking prefabs so would be handy to build in a regular game

[Valmar]

Sure thing, Stompy

[Requiemfang]

hmmm I seemed to have messed something up in my configs... or something got messed up when I updated the mod with new files and used winmerge to migrate changes I had on the previous version. The in game temperature is stuck at 70-71 degrees and doesn't change no matter what biome I go into.

[Valmar]

Try turning off weather survival then turning it back on to see if that jump starts it.

 

In the console enter weathersurvival off then weathersurvival on.

seems to have solved it but the temp on the UI just below the compass is stuck at 70 degrees

 

edit: nvm it resolved itself ^_^

Hey Valmod,

 

Enjoying your mod btw! Im on Day 35.

 

Anyways, I have a few questions.

 

1. I believe I', using Version 2.5 and is it gonna be a problem if I download the new 2.6 and just replace the files on my folder? Or I have to restart a new game?

 

2. For the Incendiary bullets for 7.62mm rounds (only one I have tried so far).

 

511 (Purple) Rifle

Reg 7.62 mm = 85.03 dmg (13.13 Block Dmg)

Incendiary 7.62 mm = 0.00 dmg (6.75 Block Dmg)

Hollow Point 7.62 mm = 11.75 dmg (6.75 Block Dmg)

Is this just a visual or a dmg bug?

 

3. It seems the draw bridge had not been fixed? Or has it been fixed on 2.6?

 

Thx

Hello Hellz.

 

You can update the mod without worry of breaking previous saves. Though like Requiem mentioned the mod is on 2.8 now. There is an item in creative mode call Valmod Version that will actually tell you what version you are on.

 

In regards to the ammo its only a visual thing where it isn't properly calculating the damage. It will still deal more damage.

 

 

As for the drawbridge I'm assuming you're referring to not being able to toggle them on or off with the remote because it keeps saying "cannot make repairs" or something. Thats been fixed for a while now.

[P3rf3ctVZer0]

Hey Valmar any way you could add a none zombie spawn block that has to be placed within the keystone block radius? Also maybe configurable? Also if you don't want to add it to your modpack pm me and call it "Anti-Zombie-Keystone-Addon"

 

Function - Prevents Zombie Spawn in a 5 by 5 area from block.

[Valmar]

I dont know of anyway to achieve that with xml. The bedroll is supposed to make that radius but I think it only works for one of them (so laying a bunch wouldnt help).

 

Zombies are supposed to only spawn on terrain blocks now so you could replace the ground of the area with blocks that that should stop them from spawning on top of it.

Awesome thanks man!

 

Also, where would the calculations be for the bullets? I wanna see if i can do something about it? It might be on the server side so I can't even touch it?

[Valmar]

Its really an engine issue, far as I know, not something we can control.

 

For what its worth:

 

General rule: HP adds additional damage to the gun (that doesn't show in the stats viewed in-game) and a chance for a stun effect. INC rounds do the base damage of normal round but also set the enemy on fire for damage over time.

 

9mmBulletHP: +10

44MagBulletHP: +10-12

10mmBulletHP: +10

762mmBulletHP: +10-12

[Nolla]

Valmar - got some other things for you to consider.

 

Spending 30 points to unlock the iron forging, but then not to be able to make any iron item is a bit of a blow. On Steel you you gain the ability to do that.

 

The ability to grow mushrooms?

 

Biscuits and Jam - use blueberry jam instead of blueberries.

[Zipcore]

How about a defusekit and make mines non-pickable?

 

EDIT:

 

Btw here is my PvP Server using your mod: 62.117.31.233:26900

 

I had to make a lot of changes to it for PvP balancing.

Unlocking the Steel level of the Metal Smithing doesn't actually unlock anything besides forgedSteel and steel arrow heads. When you read the fireaxe schematic you unlock both the iron and steel fireaxe recipes. Unless I misunderstand what you're saying.

 

Why do you want to grow mushrooms?

 

If it used blueberry jam then you'd lose a jar in the recipe.

 

 

How about a defusekit and make mines non-pickable?

 

Sounds good. I'll make a note of it. Funny enough back in A13 I had it so you couldn't pick up mines. That change didnt make it into to A14, an oversight I never really thought of I guess. Im not sure a defuse kit would work. Depends on whether or not the "upgrade" action triggers the explosion or not. I'll make a note to check it out.

and this is why im for Internet driving certifications, without it you get loads of people showing pictures of their food, and grandma saying how great trump is in business. maybe i was miffed earlier because the pack is great, but broke things for vanilla servers, the progression did not roll back, it made everything locked on unmodded servers i own or manage.

sorry about being super pissy last week. im trying to make too many people happy, and was forgetting myself.

 

PS... reviewing new version, thanks for the idiot switch instructions in root, now i can just say RTFT to people that play.
