Thank you for this interesting mod. I found a bug about the using of honey. I can't use honey to cure my infection whatever i click 'use' or put honey into quick bar and click left mouse button. The result showed it only increased my food and health. 

[Spider]

@ZelongLi- "A Serving of Honey" can be used in your hand to help cure a "Medical Infection" not a "Z-Virus Infection". The Z-Virus can only be cured with "Antivirals" that can only be found in loot or as a quest reward.

True Survival is a go-to overhaul mod for those who appreciate immersion. Undead Legacy and ComSenMod were also great for this same reason, in the past. @Spider Thank you for all your time investment!

 

Perhaps it's not an issue for you, but only one problem to date: ridiculous base Health ranges on some of the new "bullet sponge" zeds. If "base_set" for "HealthMax" was somehow limited by/tied to Gamestage, or simply comparative to vanilla HealthMax values, IMHO True Survival would be much more balanced. Bearing in mind, a value of "80,120" or "100" represents a fully healed NPC or average adult human body. Zeds should NOT have several hundreds, or even thousands, of Health at early gamestages.

 

Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor and players just need to to learn to run. However, I cannot count how many times one of these new bullet sponges spawned on day 1 or 2. Almost always have to burn through an entire belt full of improvised weapons and tools (headshot only), just to get one to stop chasing...

@Cernwn
Thanks for the feedback. I swear there is a method to my madness, the health ranges of the zombie's health is based off their vanilla health. The lower one is half the vanilla number and the higher one is double the vanilla. I suspect the zombie you are talking about is the one by Darkstardragon that comes in the NPCmod, the one with the thing coming out of its chest. It is the bane of many survivors. The issue with them is not their health but that that thing sticking out their chest is blocking their head, and this is a headshot only mod. The head hit box is there and does work if you can get around the protuberance. It was a quasi-bug that I have made a feature. Best way to deal with them is fire (just dont burn the house down  )  or from above. I would also make sure you are using the "Required Mod Settings" that are in the ReadMe file. The mod is made and balanced for those settings. Changing those can greatly affect the mods balance. Also, the TS community is more active on the discord if you would like to make suggestions, ask questions or report bugs best place to find us is there. Discord - https://discord.gg/nEVTcMMf5x

True Survival Mod News 

 

I've gotten to the point where I can see what I have left to do and how long it will take. So I have made some decisions. I will not be holding the mod from release until its complete. Instead this is my new plan. Release Road Map for TS A21 True Survival A21 will be released in 3 main parts.

• 9/1/23- First public test build will be released. It will essentially be the TS A20 mod updated to A21 plus all the new game mechanics and systems that have been added for A21
• 10/1/23- The first half of the campaign will be added up to and including producing the ZVirus cure.
• 11/1/23- The complete campaign will be added, adding end game and stopping the cause of the ZVirus.

 

I believe this release schedule will help me stay focused and also speed up completion with others helping with balancing and bug finding. 

New A21 True Survival Mod Info Here

[roughgalaxy]

I noticed on the modlauncher it has a line akin to "Vanilla has too many bugs, this doesn't work with co-op or servers" and I was curious if this was still accurate, and if so, what kinds of bugs? I feel like A21 is significantly better than previous offerings for bugs.

@roughgalaxy-

A few of them,
-Quest that send you to a random wilderness spot dont work on servers/coop

-Quest that to send the player to a tiered fetch quest poi only spawn a quest satchels ⅓ of the time on servers/coop

-Quest the send the player to a tiered clear quest will not show location of the last remaining zombies in the poi on servers/coop

-Many game events that make things happen in the game do not work on servers/coop  

-Xml “Tiggers” that dont work on server/coop

And the bad part is a larger part of that list worked in 19 but now doesnt.

Hello, module creator. I have been playing for a few days and have noticed several issues. For example, some items are missing icons, including the Steel Forqe which has significant problems. 
1. When the character moves over a corpse (the kind that has been looted), they lose control and fall down.
2. Using any weapon with ammunition to defeat monsters increases the ammunition proportionally to the experience gained (I am unsure if this is intended).
3. When killed, the backpack drops, but the belt and any vehicles placed outside disappear immediately.
4. Upon respawning after death and starting a new game, there is an issue with unlimited carrying capacity.

@Zhou Ziling

#1- Walking over organic material (ie: dead bodies and gore) will slow the player and zombies and it has a chance to trip both. Also any break to lower body parts can also make you trip when walking or running.

#2- Dont know about this. If its a bug a I need more info to track it down, like what weapon, what monster and what ammo.

#3- You only get one life in True Survival. When you die your player is wiped. You being able to still see your bag is a bug, Im still working on getting that no to show after a wipe. The rest is intended.

#4 Make sure your playing on mod version#1.2. There was a bug I recently fixed that was doing this. If your on 1.2 or it still happens after updating please let me know.
