Darkness Falls: They mostly come out at night...

[ravend]

*sigh* getting

 

darkness_falls/darkness_falls/data/stamps/desert-ground1.raw is denied

 

I wiped out the launcher and redownloaded it. uninstalled the mod and opened the path to it and wiped out manually as well and reinstalled everything and im getting that message. The base game does work, something isnt working right.

[KhaineGB]

That's definitely not related to the mod. That's windows denying access to the file for some reason.

The google drives do have the maps.

They're in Mods/0-DarknessFallsCore/Worlds now. Not Data/Worlds.

ahhhh ok very good. Going to do a fresh server install. I looked at the server config. xml..I am seeing that nothing changed with that correct?

[calbo2020]

Its on a server

Ok, found out the mono problem. you have to copy your monobleedingedge from your main 7d2d folder. then you paste it in the main folder for darkness falls.

Khaine, Thanks for making the DF Mod. I have been playing it for at least a year. We have 4 or 5 guys that play it on a server that I am friends with. The 19.3 update works great for single player. We usually use a server that Calbo provides (He has posted earlier). I have tried other servers to see if the same issue happens. I get all the way to creating player, and I get the same errors. I will provide 3 screen shots.

I'm using the Mod Launcher, and can't seem to figure out how to get it to download the V3.3. I clicked on the Delete Complete button to wipe out everything I had to remove the old mods/copy of 7days from Steam, then selected to copy from local copy (which is in a different steam folder). It copies over, then I click to Pre-Sync Mod, but it only shows Current Mod Version as 3.2A.

 

How do I refresh the Mod Launcher to show the new version 3.3 as available?

Be sure you update 7D2D to 19.3 before.

Then just do the installation like you did before. Don't take over modlets you might have installed at the regular game.

I just tried it myself and it is working fine.

So the first error means the server isn't loading the DLL's, which is very common with server providers.

The second is often a result of running a map too large for the amount of RAM the server has.

The server is using 20gb of memory and the map is 8k.   However its no problem to load a differrent map.  The dll issue you mention is there a solution for that.  Should we contact the server provider?

Hey Khaine, it looks like you lowered the initial skill books from one to two on single player. I'm playing on Survivalist - so maybe it's based on difficulty level now? That would be cool, actually. I always thought that two skill books were a little much in the beginning, at least on the higher difficulty levels.

 

Never mind. I never noticed before that you get an additional blank class paper when you open the backpack. My suggestion still stands though, maybe limit ti to one on the higher difficulty levels.

Living off the land - Rank 5

Picking wild crops still harvest 1 instead of 2.

 

Also a lot of the errors I had with my server was players running 7 Days 19.2 instead of 19.3 with mod 3.3.

Pickup with E is allways 1, only when you harvest (punch,axe on tree) the skill count in.

Be careful some planted plants could be pickup with E too, you need to punch the,

Khaine, fist... great job and excelent mod.

Question: the DF Maps is dublicated, are in the /DATA/WORLD folder and in the /MOD/ folder, are they the same maps?

If your server is using 20gb, you've got a problem. I'm only using 6.5gb on a 10k map (after boot and letting it settle for a bit).

Using E doesn't give the benefit. You have to punch them. That's been answered several times in this thread.

And I need to know what errors, though my guess is you didn't clean install the server. YOU MUST DO A COMPLETELY CLEAN INSTALL GOING FROM 19.2 TO 19.3!!!

You didn't clean install. Almost everything was moved from the Data folder to the Mods/0-DarknessFallsCore folder. The only exceptions are: Edited navezgane, UMATextures.

I actually noticed the same thing.  I cleaned the old install out and then used the launcher.

Clean installation. Before loading the MOD I checked the maps in /data/worlds and there were the normal Vanilla ones. After installing the MOD via MOD LAUNCHER duplicate maps reappear in /data/worlds and Mods/0-DarknessFallsCore/Worlds.

 

[KhaineGB]

I just double checked my git folders and there's DEFINITELY no extra worlds in Data/Worlds. Just the Nav and Pregen ones (I intended to edit PREGEN01-03 for DF compatibility and forgot)

[ketekojo]

I checked too.... I think it's Mod Launcher's mistake, as long as the maps are the same I leave it at that and I don't bother.

EDIT: 

I have used MDM-SH5 to compare the two folders Vsmall1 and they are identical. I think the error is because of the Mod Launcher.

[Canute]

I can verify that. The steam 19.3 install don't have these map.

But the DF3.3 installation copy got them at /data/worlds and Mods/0-DarknessFallsCore/Worlds.

Installed with the Mod-launcher.

 

 

[KhaineGB]

Like I said, it's definitely NOT in my git, which is what the launcher pulls from.

So... *shrug* Don't use the launcher?

[Canute]

But you are the mod author, maybe contact and ask the author of the mod launcher why the launcher is doing this.

 

[michimatsch]

@Canute

I am pretty sure he got enough spinning on his plate. He creates the mod because he wants to. He'll add stuff and do stuff if he wants to.

Asking him in this way seems to imply you are owed this.

 

Could anyone enlighten me to how animal traps and animal feed are supposed to work?
Also baby animals.

[Canute]

You place the animal trap on natural ground like dirt, after a while the trap catch something and you can loot it.

To rearm the trap, hold the animal feed and repair the trap with it.

Yes I am, but that doesn't mean I'm required to go tell SphereII about a launcher bug when I CONSTANTLY recommend doing manual installs over using the Launcher.

I mean, I probably will because I talk to him a lot anyways, but even so...

Coops/Snares have to be outside on dirt. It was the best way I could simulate them needing to be outside (I may alter coops later so they can be indoors, but not the snares).

Baby animals... pen them in, place the block down, animal spawns. That's it. Eventually they die of old age, but if you have a male and a female, they make babies.
