Go into the DF-V4-Build folder, move that mods folder into the main directory of your 7 Days to Die. If you already have mods there, you should probably move or delete them. It must be A20, A19 will likely break. Play the test map(s) once you have it installed.

Ooooh, the Mods folder is the ONLY folder I need to do anything with ? I can do that.  Up and running, cheers !

 

Yep. DF Is all in the /mods folder now. It's all you need.

Yoiu open the zip, open DF-V4-Build and copy the MODS folder to your 7DTD folder.

The 6 mod folders go into your game's MODS folder.

Can we take a random gen map that was created with vanilla A20 and use it with this DF-V4-Build ?

Khaine warned against using maps other than the test maps, since the mod isn't finished. Could cause problems. I'm generating a map myself to try it. Edit: I tried to make a random gen map and got DivideByZero crash error. So there's that.

I'm starting to see what they meant about the loot being busted, went on one Fetch III and went home with 3 lathes. That's a little broken.

This.

But I did manage to RWG a couple of maps last night so I think that error is fixed.

Yep. Still working on stuff like that. Lathes are supposed to be gamestaged loot.

That seemed to still be the case, as I was level 77 and had boosts to my loot stage. I didn't start seeing then until level 50+ iirc.

[KhaineGB]

That sounds about right then. Maybe I need to bump them up a tier... will keep an eye on it.

I cant seem to start a game with the DF-V4-Build. I downloaded it and cut & paste the Mods folder into 7dtd folder. The menu turns to DF which shows the mod is running but when i start a game with test map it loads but console drops and starts throwing thousands of nullrefs. Ive tried deleting all my saves and pregenned worlds. Not sure what else to try

[KhaineGB]

Run with EAC off, just like previous versions of DF

Ran into an issue with the metal workbench. Basically, right when I open it to try to make something or check out what I'm able to do, it just shoots out nonstop red error messages in the console and just keeps going and going and going. Believe it's one of the elevator floors that initially brought up the error messages but even if I click on something else, the red error messages continue to flow in the console. I've tried uninstalling the metal workbench, reinstalling it, making a new one, and the errors just keep on flowing.

[KhaineGB]

I'd need the log

[Grolbu]

Speaking of which ...  i'm getting fairly regular CTDs (which isn't stopping me). Is there likely to be anything in my logs that would be of use to you ? 

[KhaineGB]

CTD's are usually... and this is going to sound really stupid... because you ran out of Virtual Memory.

Even if you have 16, 32 or 64GB RAM. Yes, it's dumb, but increasing the paging file fixes it

[BarryTGash]

I seem to be permanently stoned - the 10m timer doesn't go down and manually debuffing (debuff buffstoned3) doesn't work - the 'buff' reapplies. I'm generally not too fussed but the 20% debuff to food/water consumption is a bit of a concern - especially considering nachos aren't a thing to satiate those munchies...

[LonesomeRaven31]

Just says the time (nonstop) and....

 

ERR [XUi] Error while updating window group 'workstation_DFworkstationMetal:
EXC Object reference not set to an instance of an object

 

Clicked on Elevator Floor (3x3x3) in the metal workstation to get this to show up

 

The game keeps going in the background and I can still play just fine. Just can't do anything with this station once I get this message cause that's all that'll pop up once I go to try to use it again.

Makes sense, I normally have a browser open as well and it sometimes takes that out too, and BeamNG.drive keeps getting on my case about VM >80% used. I'll increase it, umm, right now. Cheers

 

Edit : doubled the paging file size for C up to 32gb, and, errr, turned it on for the drives where steam  and 7D2D-DF live ......  😖

Known and will look into it later.

EDIT: Possibly fixed.

Will have a look at this later today too. Not sure what that's about.

EDIT: Definitely fixed.

The only somewhat game breaking glitch I've found thus far is that deploying the drone has it lose all health instantly and shutting down. Keeping repair kits inside it allows you to take one out and get it running again, so it's not* a huge issue. Still wanted to let you know.

[Chivalric]

Laser workbench only sort of works, the slots for the tools are missing, so can't craft anything that requires the laser tool. Is there a specific forum you have for bug reporting? Not sure if this is supposed to go here or not.

[KhaineGB]

Workbench sort of fixed.

By that I mean the tools now work, but there's some window overlapping i'm still working on.

Today is the official birthday of Darkness Falls. 25th December, 2017 is when I started working on the mod and had functional classes in (if missing localization).
 

So it seems appropriate to give you all my current development build of Darkness Falls V4 for Alpha 20.  Plus I figured some folks could do with the distraction over the holiday period.
 

Just be aware, this IS a development build of Darkness Falls. It will have bugs. It will have missing icons or localization. It will likely have loot imbalance. Any future versions could wipe your save. There might be NRE's.
 

Only download and play if you are OK with this. Happy Holidays. 
 

These files will also work for servers for anyone who wants to run one. No more seperate builds!
 

RWG "works" but POI's do not obey biome restrictions. It is highly recommended to stick to the test maps.
 

MANUAL INSTALL ONLY. Just copy the mods folder from DF-V4-Build in the zip to your 7DTD folder and you're done. Also make sure EAC is off, just like previous versions of DF.

Late to the party to grab the link as it no longer works. But was this just for local only or did it contain server side as well?

 

Happy Holidays KhaineGB! Looking forward to the stable in the new year!
