A15 - Working Electric Lights

Valmar · April 4, 2016

i see your nailed down spotlight made it in to the vanillia game ( and our workbenches) great work, I forone thing this whole lighting mod should make it to vanilla the fps gains of these vs tourches is amazing.

vote valmar for pimp 2016

Actually the nailed spotlight was Gazz's handywork. I did, for a shortwhile, have it set so all the lights could be nailed down. However as I'm sure you're aware A14 drastically reduced the number of free block IDs so I had to cut back on the bulk.

Thank you, though. However I think it'd be more reasonable to call Deccypher the pimp of 2016. Your dev tracker is pretty much the only way I get my 7DTD news. Its such handy way of keeping up-to-date on the latest news that I'm surprised the Pimps don't offer such a page of their own.

Deccypher/Valmar 2016!, got my vote:triumphant:

HjortenDK · April 5, 2016

Made a reinstall of client. Now it's working.. i also put it on my server and it's working there also.

Many thanks for keeping this updated!!

Valmar · April 5, 2016

Due to it using the extends property for pretty much everything the only thing that should ever need to be changed in the future is the block ID numbers, if anything. Provided the vanilla game doesn't use those block IDs in the future I suspect this code will be valid for many builds to come.

Deccypher/Valmar 2016!, got my vote:triumphant:

wtf. Vote h0tr0d 2016 -- trump the rest

LuckyStar · April 5, 2016

I finally tried these out.

Woaaaah! They work great!

I'm really happy you made this mod. It's a must-have for sure.

wtf. Vote h0tr0d 2016 -- trump the rest

Sorry I beat you to it - I already built an AutoWall mod.

Spider · April 6, 2016

Hay Val got another light question for you. Do you know away to turn off Spotlights? There is no light code in the block code it almost looks like the light is attached to the mesh. I'm trying to make it turn off and on.

Valmar · April 6, 2016

That I'm not sure can be done. As you noticed the light is attached to the mesh of the model. Its not a property that can be turned off. At least, I can think of no way to do it due to he way the light is part of the model.

mikro · April 6, 2016

Very Nice Mod Valmar, It works great. Now if someone could come up with a working hugger style light/ceilingfan combo that centers in a 3x3 block and cools you down some would be really cool ( pun intended). LOL!!

NullReferenceException

Ok. So. Getting NullReferenceException errors after crafting an item and trying to click on it.

The changes were made to my personal server.

I did not use the lightbulbs, instead just subbing broken glass as a temp idea.

I removed the <property name="DescriptionKey" value="WorkingLightDesc"/> as a futile attempt to fix the NullRef.

BOTH blocks.xml and recipes.xml are previously edited and confirmed working. The block changes were to up the damage of spikes. The recipes are to add a few for vanilla items (IE: Machete).

I tried copying the entire config folder to my client with no luck. I have been restarting the server with each xml edit and my client as well.

I've tried looking around for more information about NullReferenceException errors in 7D2D but have not been able to find anything current or applicable.

Am I missing something simple? I'm not totally new to xml or modding but this is driving me crazy to get this working...

block id only goes upto 2047. anything after this causes errors and/or doesnt show in game.

block id only goes upto 2047. anything after this causes errors and/or doesnt show in game.

ohhhhhhhhhhmygod.. wait. They do show up though.. I mean I'll check and lower the values but they do appear in the crafting menu and inventory, I just cant click them

EDIT: Mother Zed you were right!! I tried looking for the block id limit but couldn't find it.. is there a place where the other id limits are posted??

stallionsden · April 15, 2016

Items is 4096.

Chous · April 19, 2016

Just wondering if you will update this mod for the Alpha 14.5 ?

Valmar · April 20, 2016

@Chous

It already is.

Deccypher · April 20, 2016

@Chous

It already is.

and working great

Chous · April 20, 2016

Oh thank you so much Valmar.. I am gonna update ma game now jipiii

=AS=Valthalion · April 24, 2016

any way to boost the intensity ? i like the light but it do not replace torch ...

=AS=Valthalion · April 26, 2016

??? i guess not

Valmar · April 26, 2016

Unfortunately I don't think that can be changed. From what I understand, and I could be wrong, the light itself is part of the model and thus is not a value you can adjust on the fly.

DieTillDay7 · April 26, 2016

based on my study into the code - it can be said based on what i have found out so far that the prefab they have is just a addition to its settings - so the settings of light maybe modified if the actual variable for these things was known

HjortenDK · May 31, 2016

Hey Valmar.

In previous versions you had End Table Lamp in as working. Any chance that it will come back. Many on my server is asking for it..

Best regards

Hjorten
