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

[ScubaSteve3465]

Quick question, now that cp48 is released are you planning on adding it back to DF? I know the CP used to be in darkness falls but I think it got removed because it wasn't compatible with a20. 

[KhaineGB]

Yes and it's going to take a while

[ScubaSteve3465]

Cool, was just wondering. Take your time and do it right

@KhaineGB Can we expect CP maps in the near future? Not trying to stress, we just would start on a rwg one (yeah i know what this means), but if it´s around the corner we might wait.

 

@SenpaiThatIngnoresYou Questline does indeed work fine on the 12K Krunch map, i could complete all quests with no problems. And if you mean survivors, yeah those do spawn.

No he mean Bandits, similar to survivor's but hostile against you.

They was at previous version of the mod and maybe they come back at future (only Khaine know's 🙂 )

But they are like survivor's more or less just a joke

 

Ok. so far it looks like everything is working well outside of the eve quest. I found dr anna on accident because of the smoke coming out the chiminey. the interstate is there on the krunch map, and the interstate rest stops and merchants are there too. Where are eve's coordinates on the big krunch map? i will check to see if she is there or not or if something bugged out on my end. 

 

I used the mod launcher to install the mod. Is that how everyone else does it, or are they downloading from somewhere else them putting it in the mods folder?

When you fail the quest, then your map prolly miss Eve.

But since that map got provide by the DF package, all the DF POI's should be there.

Did you use DFalls-KrunchMap-Large-12k or maybe an alternate one without DF(alls) prefix ?

 

 

Whelp, i do not know what the hell i did, but somehow, on DFalls-krunchMap-large-12k I caused it to not spawn eve. Gonna have to nuke and pave

It SHOULDN'T be, but it might...

I know for a fact those POI's exist in those maps.

 

I am hoping that mod is the culprit. It's not a loss because it never worked right to begin with, which is a shame because working hospital beds, even in french, would be a cool thing to have in a base. A working base infirmary. but it's in french and i do not know how to make a hard mattress that the mod needs. 

 

Gonna do a full nuke and pave.  Thanks everyone for the help with the troubleshooting.

not only did i start a new game, after deleting the old one, but i had it download from steam instead of copy an existing version. So it looks like the pois are there. I am suspecting a botched install, because 1: i was not getting poisoned in the last two games. 2: there was no mayburry poi on the last krunch map, there is one now next to where i spawned, and 3: i see eves camp. 

 

Not sure what i did to botch the install. i had downloaded the hospital bed mod AFTER i installed darkness falls, as a means to cope with all the beatings i was getting. That mod did not work so i had to resort to getting good again.

If you like you can try to edit your world and replace an existing POI with Eve.

At page 366 we allready discuss about it, and i did it myself on a server and i am a serveradmin noob.

Just don't forget to delete the chunk, when you edit/replace the POI on an allready visited chunk.

Btw. Eve is original placed at the desert.

Hello, I need help.  I am playing on a PvP server of Darkness falls and I mastered two classes, but I die a lot.  What I noticed is the mastery is now gone for both classes and I can only have the first two perks of each class unlocked even though I unlocked them all.  Is this a punishment for death cause there is literally nothing I can do to get my mastery back for either classes cause I can't unlock the quests again, so what do I do?  Does this wear off?  Will I ever be able to get mastery in my classes again?

[OverKot]

Hello. Tell me how can I view the list of POIs on the map?

Press F1 and type dm and enter. Again F1. Now ESC, you'll see there a POI Teleporter, click on that and you can see what POIs are on the map.

[calbo2020]

If you generated the map then look in your generated worlds folder for the map in question.  There will be a text file in the folder called prefabs.  Open that file and you can see what POI's were generated without having to go all over the map.  The listing also gives you the coordinates of the POI on the map.  The path to the generated worlds folder is as follows (Windows 10)    Users\username\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie\GeneratedWorlds\Mapname.  You will need to set your view in file explorer to "show hidden items" in order to see the appdata folder.  If you want to look for a particular POI in the Prefab list then use ctrl F and this will open a search dialogue box.  Type in the name of the prefab and then it will take you to the first one on the list.  I use this to verify that the Research Facility gets generated in every map I create.  Hint:  for a  list of darkness falls prefabs just type "DF" and then press enter.  It will show you all the Darkness Falls prefabs.

I started a darkness falls server last night and some of my users are having an issue with loggin in.  I however am having NO issue logging into my server. Yes it is hosted by me and no i do not connect via localhost i connect like all other users connect.

After this series of inf checks that do nothing they are getting this error

Player disconnected: EntityID=-1, PltfmId='XBL_70899AA0E469368433F8FD0CDB3DE62FCAD094BB', CrossId='EOS_0002691c4b724cbd95c947241aa84337', OwnerID='<unknown/none>', PlayerName='IxStr8BakeDxI'
This is what my console shoots out when he tries to connect and he gets the error.
Any information/suggestions on this issue would appreciated.

Yes, death penalty lower all.

When you wait until the red skull on the left side is gone, you should have your mastery back.

i was playing on a server running alpha 20.4 with some friends when i got a error saying "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" after which i wasnt able to interact with anything, so i restarted my game, and now i get stuck on creating character every time i attempt to join. i have tried everything from restarting my pc to uninstalling and deleting 7 days from my pc and redownloading and reinstalling the game and mod. anyone got any ideas of how to fix this?

Looking for suggestions from more experienced players on 2nd class selection. This is my first playthrough and I selected farmer as my initial class. I was thinking along the lines of security but curious what others have done (when they initially selected farmer) and why. 

 

Thanks

Death penalty lowers most stats by 1, so mastery is disabled while the death penalty is active.

What do you like to do? Personally I'd probably go scavenger or mechanic, but I like quests, so scav would be more rewards and mechanic will let me make vehicle mods to do quests faster due to less time travelling.

[newbie]

KhaineGB, thanks for taking the time to respond. I enjoy questing but I have also been dying relatively frequently lately. Whenever I get a couple ferals in my face it usually means one thing.  So I was hoping that  security would let me up armor myself without killing my movement speed.  However, better rewards may make it easier to get better quality weapons(etc) to stop the ferals.  Something to consider. Thanks for your input.

Depend, on SP i would suggest Labor class.

This will free some perkpoint from book or you allready spend , and let you build better forge's -> Steel -> titanium.

Then you should look what the class give bonus about weapon/tool crafting.

When you prefer rifle/bow over mashineguns, look at hunter.

Same for mellee weapons, check which class give crafting boni at the weapon's you like to use.

 

A special thing you might don't have on the radar are the survivalist. You maybe notice you don't have a clock outside the shop. Survivalist can build a watch mod, which show you the time anywhere. But the other things about survivalist are not that important.

 

But at the end, you prolly will learn all classes anyway on SP (and the most at MP).

At first i suggest you take a look at Youtube and check out snowbee's video's about DF. He give out some real useful beginning hints.

 

But you are right feral's are a pain, special when you died alot and don't got many max. HP/Stamina anymore.

You should stop investigate POI, go exploring and concentrate to regain some max. HP back, drink a tea/coffee/beer or better if you don't have the well drink buff anymore. Check the food automat's they often sell tea if you can't made them self.

Check the scout's they sell vitamin, these raise wellness too.

 

You should get hand on some NiCd-Battery mods, you can install these at most weapon's, they electroshock the target, and when they are shocked they can't hit you (You need science crafting 3).

Together with a fast hiting weapon (i wouldn't suggest sledgehammers 🙂 ) they are stuned after a few hit's from you and then you can smack them well without much danger.

Security is nice, but you can't escape from a feral on ground.

Security just let you hit faster and get less stamina penalty but you don't run faster.

Iron/steel armor slow you down and you can't compensate that, maybe with high performance running shoes.

Armor Specialist does reduce the movement penalty also. So you do run faster when wearing armor than you would without having skilled that perk.

Faster yes, outrun a feral, prolly not. Special not when you use Iron/steel armor.

I wouldn't recommend Leather and Military is a pain to craft.

Once you get Titanium armor you are on light armor and run faster.

My favoured was Iron/steel armor, hunting knife + NiCd battery, Life leech (bladed perk,+2HP each swing hit) and i don't got problems with ferals (anymore).

Pain tolerance is nice for the damage reduction and stun immunity

[Magnara]

WHY...just why, are all old versions of DF removed when a new one comes out?

We updated to DF4.03 and Alpha20.4, our old map doesn't work anymore. Now we wanted DF4.02 back, and we can't find it anywhere. That really sucks.

So we are forced to start over again -.-

 

(somebody said the old map can be used with 4.03, but it don't)

My goal/expectation is not to outrun ferals. My current situation is that due to the number of times I have died (sigh) my wellness is never much greater than health nut minimum: I am drinking apple/orange juice. So as soon as I get hit by a zombie, especially a feral, I am near death. I was hoping to be able to get more resilience by selecting security. Your comments have also made me consider scavenger as my third choice. Maybe I need to focus now on getting these two classes as I have sufficient supplies to make two class books.

Can you explain which bladed perk gives you life leech ? 

 

Thanks again
