War of the Walkers Mod

 

Mod is finished and no more Updates will take place. New V2.0 download now available. Please go to new page for A13 compatible mod.

 

 

V1.2 r12.7.2015 Alpha 12.5 War of the Walkers Mod Download Link:

 

Full Mod is Multiplayer Supported and nothing is required to install and is EAC safe as only files that are changed are XML.

 

Current Features:

 

Farming:

 

Food/Drink: I have added a lot of different food and drink items to really give you more choice in your diet. Each may have their own benefits such as slightly better wellness gain, food gain, etc. Some items may give you a buff similar to coffee. Alpha 13 I plan on adding more buffs to some of these. But I am currently still learning the buff system and trying to see what type of things I can do with it.

 

Weapons: Added a few new weapons into the game as well as parts to make each weapon. (balancing of these items are in progress.) Also most weapons including the ones from vanilla can use the flashlight attachment.

 

Ammo: I have added many types of ammo to the game. Most weapons including vanilla now may have more that 1 type of ammunition that can be used. I have tried to the best research on which weapons should use what bullet types. (Still being balanced)

 

Books: Many recipes in game have been gated by a book/schematic just to help with making the game last a little longer before reaching end game. It also has a benefit of having more “unique” characters that may not be able to make all the stuff his friend can but may be able to make something that he/she can’t. Well at least it’s something until we get skill trees in.

 

Supply Drop Flare: My server uses to use the “/gimme” command which would give you a free crate of good once every X minutes. That is now disabled but instead I came up with this idea of finding a Flare in game that would “call in” a supply crate (actually will just spawn a crate on the ground as there is no code currently to call in the supply plane using a item in game that I know of). You can find these Supply Drop Flares in game but they aren’t very common and can only be found on Boss zombies, Gun Safes, and some other locations. Once you find a Flare all you do it equip it on your belt and just left click on the ground somewhere and a crate will spawn. Similar to the crates you find in Shotgun Messiahs prefab you have to first break the outer layer which will then give you the lootable container. Once looted it will destroy upon closing. There are more than one type of Supply Drop Flare that can be found and are listed below. Note that in Alpha 13 I plan on changing this to use the crop growing code so that once you use a flare it won’t immediately spawn loot but rather make you wait a little bit (as if you actually have to wait for a supply plane to actually come and drop the package) Just to make it a little more realistic and can have some benefits for PvP. Who opens it first?

 

Hardwood Items: All birch trees in game when chopped down will drop Birch Trunks which will then turn into Hardwood planks. The planks can be further processed down to hardwood Sticks. The planks can be used to make Hardwood Frames for base building. The Hardwood Building Blocks are better than regular wood frame blocks but not as good as concrete. The Sticks can be used to build better tools. All Hardwood Items listed below. Hardwood blocks are gated by a book.

 

Advanced Steel: On top of the steel ingot in vanilla game, I added Forged Steel, Short Steel Pipe Steel Strips, and Steel Fibres. Each of these have their own use. The Steel Ingots can be used to make better tools, such as the Steel Pickaxe (From Vanilla), Steel Fire Axe, Steel Shovel, and Steel Hoe. Each of these tools works better than their vanilla counterparts. Such as faster use time (Not Fully Balanced Yet) and block damage. The Iron Sledge Hammer from vanilla has been changed over to use Steel Ingots to produce.

 

Oil Production: Added in Crude Oil that was in game to underground mining. It isn’t too common to find but currently can be found in all biomes. This will probably be just found in desserts as it is going to be in A13 when it’s Officially added to vanilla game play. Added Gasoline Mold as well as Oil Mold to use in the forge. Not the greatest or most realistic way of doing it but it's good enough for now until A13 releases. Molds are gated by book “Fuel Production Volume I. 2 oil machines have been added. One being for making gasoline and the other for Oil. Place machine on ground activate it by using Casino Coins then insert Crude Oil by right clicking it with a upgrade tool (Note this isn’t fully implemented so until further notice do not use. Both machines gated by books called “Fuel Production Volume II” and “Fuel Production Volume III”

Kevlar: Kevlar has been added for making armor and well as for some other uses. In order to make Kevlar you need Household Chemicals, Cloth, and Steel or Yucca Fibres. Household Chemicals can mainly be found in lootable containers such as kitchen cabinets. Also has a chance to be on some zombies.

  • Kevlar

  • Kevlar Strips

  • Household Chemicals

 

Armor: Many different types of armor has been added. Each of them gated by a book. From protection values it goes from Cloth, Kevlar, Iron, Steel, Tungsten. Each type of armor is slightly better than its previous tier. Kevlar is better than cloth but weaker than Iron. Some things will change once A13 releases with Cold Weather Survival. So sacrificing armor protection value for insulation value may be something more suited for you in cold weather temperatures. Or vise versa for hot temperatures.

Kevlar Armor:

  • Kevlar Boots

  • Kevlar Pants

  • Kevlar Jacket

  • Kevlar Helmet

  • Kevlar Gloves

Steel Armor:

  • Steel Boots

  • Steel Leg Armor

  • Steel Chest Armor

  • Steel Helmet

  • Steel Gloves

Tungsten Armor:

  • Tungsten Boots

  • Tungsten Leg Armor

  • Tungsten Chest Armor

  • Tungsten Helmet

  • Tungsten Gloves

 

Working Oven/Furnace: Added a working oven that works the same as the campfire but uses the Wall Oven texture. It doesn’t have any flame particle effects like the campfire but also isn’t as strong on the heat map. Also added a Furnace that runs like a forge but with a Oven Texture. (until I find another block texture I like) Like the Wall Oven it too doesn’t add to the Heat Map as much as the regular Forge. The Furnace is gated by a book “Forge Ahead Volume II”

  • Wall Oven

  • Furnace

 

Mining/Resources: Resources are found everywhere in the map not just in caves as it is currently in vanilla. Additional resources are in the ground other than the vanilla stuff. Such as Tungsten Ore, Copper Ore, Brass Ore, Magnesium Ore, and Crude Oil. I know not all these would be naturally found in the ground but for right now it is. Note that it isn’t completely balanced and am currently planning on making improvements once A13 comes out. Listed below is all the new resources that can be found underground.

  • Copper Ore

  • Brass Ore

  • Tungsten Ore (Returned from previous Alphas

  • Magnesium Ore

  • Crude Oil

  • Crude Oil Recipe from Oil Barrels

 

Vehicles/Tools: Some new tools have been added as well as a new motorbike. The new Motorbike is made with Steel Frame. New Parts for it has also been added, such as Kevlar Seat, Steel Handles, Heavy Duty Tires, Heavy Duty Battery, Large Engine. This new bike is also gated by a book called “Minibikes for Smart♥♥♥♥s”

  • Steel Fire Axe

  • Steel Shovel

  • Steel Hoe

  • Biodiesel Auger + Steel Parts

  • Steel Motorbike

  • Large Engine

  • Steel Handlebars

  • Kevlar Minibike Seat

  • HD Minibike Wheels

  • Steel Padlock

  • Minibike Steel Handlebars

  • Minibike Steel Chassis

  • Upgraded Shopping Basket (Currently works but is bugged for not showing the right size loot container)

  • HD Battery

 

Steel/Tungsten Building: Added in Steel Upgrade Blocks. Frames upgrade using Forged Steel. It is stronger than concrete. Also added Tungsten Upgrade Blocks which is stronger than Steel, uses Scrap Tungsten to upgrade. Scrap Tungsten is made from Processing Tungsten Ingots

  • Steel Frame

  • Tungsten Frame

  • Scrap Tungsten

 

KEY Item: It is a Key to the city! Not really or at least not yet. Basically what this is used for is to get into safes. Rather than using a tool to break it you would equip the key into your belt and click on either the Wall Safe or Gun Safe. This will unlock it so you access the loot inside. Only works on non player placed safes. It basically just uses the upgrade block feature codes wise to work. In the near future I plan on to make it usable on doors to unlock/open them. You cannot craft the key it can only be found in loot but is rare to come by.

  • Key

 

Traps: 2 Traps have been added. One being a Fire Trap and the other a Rabbit Trap. Both these ideas came from the forums but I have implemented them myselves using my own code. Fire Trap is gated by a book called “Fire Trap Schematic”

  • Fire Trap

  • Rabbit Trap

  • Rabbit Trap Bated

  • Fire Trap Schematic

  • Setting the Trap Schematic

 

Fishing: Another idea/Mod I saw from the forums that I implemented myself by my own coding. All it is crafting a Fishing Pole, Baiting it with worms and fishing in any water bed. It’s really easy to do but requires faster response and what this does is create a temporary loot container in the water that will destroy in only a few seconds after spawning from the water itself. Fish item added and part of the loot. As well as fish food recipes. Worms can be found by digging up dirt.

  • Fishing Pole

  • Fishing Pole Bated

  • Worms

  • Fish

  • Fish Grilled

  • Fish Stew

 

Immunization Shot/Antibiotics: I changed the antibiotics to just debuff any of the infections levels you have but does not make you immune from getting the infection again right after. Instead I have added a even harder to make Immunization Shot Item that also Debuffs any infection level but makes you immune from infection for 72 Hours and is also stackable. The recipe requires 4 Rotting Flesh, 2 Potassium Nitrate Powder, and 2 Blood Bags inside the Beaker to craft.

  • Immunization Shot

 

Tree Regrowth: This mods all trees to once chopped down to spawn a stump. This stump if not chopped down as well will grow into a new tree over time. Note that the Stump currently has the falling tree animation and can kill you if you're in the direction it's falling even if you're not right close to it. Plan on disabling the animation, or removing this feature entirely once A13 releases.

  • Stumps for all Type of Trees

 

Leveled Loot 2.0: I have reworked the hole loot using the leveled loot system. Everything has been categorized properly. This is one of the things I have spent the most time on trying to get it just right. Right now one of the things I have been using for the Books is the level requirement on it so anyone who level 1 - 10 has a very little to none chance to find the Schematic on something as rare as a M25 Sniper Rifle. Every 10 levels you will gain a better chance % to actually find some of the real cool stuff. There is still a lot to do to properly balance it right but right now I am finding it almost there. I am using the Loot Prob Template for most of the loot. Currently the max is still set to level 60 players. I may change this in A13 increasing it and adding better probabilities up to level X.

  • Loot Prob Template

  • Loot Quality Template

 

Boss/Special Zombies: Many different zombies have been added. Including a Zombie Bear. More crawling zombies such as the spider crawling zombie, fat zombie crawler, burnt zombie crawler as well as my good friend the fat cop zombie crawler. Note that crawlers will not return for A13 due to the new dynamic crippling system enabling every zombie to be able to become a crawler. Many new Boss Zombies have been added and all have unique loot. Boss zombies mainly show up in hordes. All the different zombies do look like their regular zombies because I can’t change any features, or looks without making this require a download on all client machines and that would probably make the server non EAC compliant.

  • Spider Zombie Crawler

  • Fat Zombie Crawler

  • Burnt Zombie Crawler

  • Fat Cop Zombie Crawler

  • The Mechanic Boss Zombie (Special Automotive Loot) HA! Take that none respawning car loot!

  • The Builder Boss Zombie (Special Building Supplies Loot) I call him Bob

  • The Investigator Boss Zombie (Special Gun Supplies Loot) I heard he carries Keys

  • The Doctor Boss Zombie (Special Medicine Loot) <insert comment here>

  • The Outdoorsman Boss Zombie (Special Sporting Good Loot) His back is broken from the mountains he comes from

Hordes/Zombies: Hordes have had some work done on them. A lot of different hordes of different zombies have been added. Such as a zombie Nurse horde. Snow Zombie Hordes, Male only Zombie Hordes, Female only Zombie Hordes. And a all out zombie fest Horde where everyone is invited. Except you, which is probably why they are trying to kill you. So maybe stay off the forums and actually play the game. All in game regular spawning zombies have been increased slightly while roaming hordes have been slightly reduced. This is still work in progress to see what seems more fun.

  • Day 7 Horde Week 1: Everyone but the cripples. Sorry your base isn’t wheelchair accessible this early in the game. Maybe next time

  • Day 7 Horde Week 2: Only Crawlers and Boss Zombies. The Crawling Revenge!

  • Day 7 Horde Week 3: Only Female Zombies w/ Boss Zombies. Girls night out

  • Day 7 Horde Week 4: Only Male Zombies w/ Boss Zombies. Drunk as hell and looking for their wives.

  • Day 7 Horde Week 5: Only Snow Zombies w/ Boss Zombies. “Winter is Coming” Stark

  • Day 7 Horde Week 6: Only Zombie Nurse w/ Boss Zombies. They're here to “take care” of you

  • Day 7 Horde Week 7: Every Zombie w/ Boss Zombies.

Server Info: My Server that is currently running this is online almost 24/7 but only has a max player count allowed of 50. Although it probably won’t handle very well with that many players on. Nothing to do with server but rather the game isn't designed for that many players. Currently the in game day count is greater than 365 days and a Wipe/Reset is planned for A13. If you want to play on the server and keep your base. Make sure to use a land claim. This way I know if it's active and that I won’t reset that chunk. The rest of the map outside of players placed land claims does get reset bi-weekly or when needed.

That's um... A lot of things. o_o

 

I hope A13's crafting changes don't set you back to far... I'm waiting on that before I start working on my mods seriously again.

 

I have a really good eye for balance, I'll see about taking a look at it and giving you my feedback some time! ^_^

Balance is a really tricky beast to tame!... Especially with that much new content!

That is one thing that I am curious about with the new GUI with No Crafting Grid on how it works in the xml file. That part I'm not too worried about I don't think it should be too much harder. The thing that may set me back is the new blocks.xml file they are working on. Looks like its completely redone.

 

I will do my best to update my mod to A13 but I am a one man team on this and work full time at a job outside of this.

 

- - - Updated - - -

 

This sounds dope!! I wished it were available now. Goodluck making it all come together

 

Well it is available to play and test on my server if you want to check it out. I do want to release it soon once its polished a little more

Ya I am fully expecting for a lot of work with updating to A13. Mainly with blocks.xml and recipes.xml with the new formats coming. Not sure how much effort for the rest of the files like items.xml entityclasses.xml etc

 

I usually find items needs the most work from one Alpha to the next, since the the item numbers often change. And of course, each release I've gotta de-obfuscate the AssemblyCSharp.dll for some of my changes. I'll have to look into to the SD2DX program soon, amazing work being done there too, but my own graphics skills never got past stick figure diagrams.

 

Given what you've done with the Zombies too, I imagine you'll have to spend some time in entityclasses as well.

Ya a fare amount of work was done in that file. But that one I'm not too worried about unless again they change the existing like they are doing with Blocks.xml file but sense it already uses the "extends" code in it that not too many changes will have occured

looks very interesting. I hope there will be public download available later for solo play.

 

I do plan on releasing a public download soon. Hoping by this weekend. I have done some more balancing this week and also fixed a bug with the Apple Trees growing Sideways

Just finished a update to my mod adding New Items and fixed a few errors. And have now officially released the War of the Walkers V1.0 Mod. Will Update first post with link.

 

Update to V1.0

 

Beer Production: You can now make your own beer. Start by farming Wheat. You then cook it in the campfire (Drying it out) to create Cracked Wheat. From that you throw it back into the campfire but with water to create Wort. Now cook both Wort and Hops for 1 in game hour to create Processed Wort. You now have to create a Fermenting Vessel, for which over time will give you beer. After placing the Fermenting Vessel you need to first feed it Processed Wort followed by Yeast. After a extended amount of time you will receive Homestyle Beer.

 

*Added Wheat Farming

*Added Wheat Item

*Added Cracked Wheat Item + Recipe

*Added Wort Item + Recipe

*Added Hops Item

*Added Processed Wort Item + Recipe

*Added Yeast Item

*Added Fermenting Vessel Block + Recipe

*Note that Wheat farming is gated by new book. Also the Cracked Wheat, Wort, and Processed Wort Item has been gated by a book which should only be able to be found once you reach Level 45+. Fermenting Vessel is also gated by a book. Yeast and Hops can be found in loot

 

Bread Production: Added recipes for making Bread using Dough and Flour. Also changed existing Pie Recipes to use Dough instead of CornMeal. Added new Bear Meat Pie Recipe. All new recipes gated by books.

 

*Added Bread Item + Recipe

*Added Dough Item + Recipe

Idk about this weekend. As far as what MadMole is saying is still a lot of bug fixing. And I'm pretty sure the GUI isn't 100%...at least not a couple days ago. I imagine next weekend. I know one of the forum moderators was able to play a early version of it today. And Chickens were added today!!! Awesome

can potassium nitrate still be found in the ground? So far, I have only found it from stalactites in caves ... did quite a bit of digging, have found plenty of all other resources, but no potassium nitrate. Which is a bummer, my gunpowder production came to a screeching halt

 

also, the potassium nitrate powder only drops from stalactites ... if I mine stalagmites they drop "spheralite" item that can be scrapped into "zinc powder". Is it intentional? It puts pretty big limit on the potassium nitrate and so far I haven't found any use for the zinc powder (most likely because I haven't found the right book/recipe yet)

What is an extended amount of time? I've waited for some while after adding the wort and yeast. Nothing happens. The containers sit there and it's been 6 days in game with nothing.. Just wondering if possibly I'm not doing something right or ?!

 

Great mod by the way. Can't wait to see what more you do with it.

I shall look into this. I may need to add a ground block for the vessel to sit on, as the vessel uses a plant code so it needs a fertile level in it.

So I need to have it sitting on fertile ground then?

 

I know Alpha 13 is getting close to launching after seeing the video uploaded last night. I'm hoping you continue this mod for some time to come. It's really nice and it has a lot of room for growth for sure. You've already done a ton for sure.

 

Also, suggestion on the gas machine is instead of using coins, it should be treated more like a oven or something like that because it's a refining process. So fuel expended to create a refined fuel is probably a good direction.

 

Excited to see where you take this. I'm hoping they expand the farming aspect a lot more too. :)

 

Cheers and happy holidays to you!

Well not on any fertile ground It has to be on a certain fertile level block which i forgot to add. It will make it in when it gets implented into A13. As last I heard A13 is planned for this weekend so I am not working on anything for this mod at this time. Once A13 hits I do plan on starting to update the mod. I will start with the critical ones that would otherwise require server wipe. Once those are done then I can continue adding in the rest of the mod not having to worry about restarts. That said I know some things I am not planning on returning into the game. I won't list anything thats going to be removed or added quite yet as I need to get my hands on A13 and see what the differences is and how it plays. Then I can see what I feel needs to be added/removed. And yes Farming I do plan on doing a little more on that one in A13. One thing I feel is the the current state the plants grow way to fast. I plan on slowing that down a bit and see how it works...Balance is key to fun

I just updated my server with a official V2.0 release. Will update this page soon with new link. Not that V2.0 is not complete mod. That will be something like 2.3 or 2.4 (Depending if I feel its complete by then). Everything in V2.0 is complete though and roughly polished.
