Darkness Falls A21 Experimental.

[SniperWolfMGS]

Hey Everyone. Khaine released a Darkness Falls patch for A21.1 yesterday.

Khaine: Ok folks, I promised an experimental release after my stream was done.

It is now done, so here you go.

PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL! There will be bugs. There will be balance issues. Myself and the team have done our best to squash any bugs that would stop your progress and enjoyment of the mod. Hopefully any bug fixing should not cause a save restart, but please remember that SAVE RESTARTS ARE A POSSIBILITY!

If you cannot accept the above, do not download the experimental.

Also, NO THIS IS NOT ON THE MOD LAUNCHER! I never release experimentals on the mod launcher. Please review my manual install video (yes it's for A20 but the method is the same) and do that instead: https://youtu.be/3ku2GZr1x2Y

DF-V5.0.0-DEV-B26

Couple of notes.

You should NOT need a new save. However, make sure you pick up all workbenches, coops, snares and beehives before you update. Put them back afterwards.
This is likely the last build before stable as we've covered most of the bad ♥♥♥♥. So don't expect more for now. Just enjoy.

(IDC) Fixed NRE while scrapping items in the workbench.
(IDC) Fixed stuttering issues and various others.
Fixed Bundle of Flaming Arrows needing bundles of flaming arrows to be made, when it should be arrows, not bundles.
Fixed Succubus Matriarch having too much bonus damage.
Fixed missing mod slot on steel fireaxe.
Fixed some farmed crops having the "Press E" prompt when they shouldn't because the game fails at doing what it's told to do. Are any of you surprised?
Fixed mis-spelled display entry regarding cornmeal food poisoning.
Fixed survivalist torch giving a NORMAL torch if you break it rather than pressing E to pickup.
Changed hold-type on scrap and titanium spears so they can poke through doors properly.
Changed Succubi fireballs to have a large spread so all 3 won't cluster together and just delete players.
Changed vending machines to ONLY spawn broken versions outside of trader POI's. Why? Because of POI reset issues when starting quests in multiplayer. Thanks TFP.
Added a delay to Succubi fireballs (no idea if they'll play the warning sound, but I did try).
Adjusted heat amount on coop/snare/beehive.

I didn't bother to post the actual patch notes because it's a pretty big wall of text.

Edited for the latest patch 10/4/23

Thanks. I pulled my stuff off his discord and it was like 5 max character posts long. I didn't want anyone here to have to scroll through all of that.

As a good reminder that Khaine's still working hard but doesn't have a finished version, those links from last night are obsolete:

My favorite way to play 7

Is anybody else successful in getting DF running on a Linux dedicated server?

I updated my PC and Linux server to A21.1. I can connect and play on the Linux box on my home lan no prob.

I loaded DF on my PC and successfully launched it and played for a while.

I assume the process to run on the Linux server is the same as with the PC...replace the Mods folder with the DF Mods folder.

Then modified the serverconfig.xml file to load the DFalls-Navezgane world.

Server would crash, not sure why. What am I missing?

INFO:
I did a yum update on the Linux box to get the latest whatnots.
Installed the mono-core packages also. Not sure they were needed, but it did not help.
I read in an article to copy the "MonoBleedingEdge" directory to the modded game directory but it was already there (and it did not say could not load mono). This directory is located here: ./7dtd_server/7DaysToDieServer_Data/MonoBleedingEdge

When I start the Linux dedicated server, I get a mono crash. Here is the relevant output from the crash log:

Platform.PlatformManager:Init()

Sorry man, but I don't know the first thing about Linux. I did however copy past your post in the discord and one ofnthe dev team said you had an error in the native side of mono. No idea. But hope it helps

[SniperWolfMGS]

Hey SnapperDragon.

One of the DF team reached out to me regarding your issue.

From Lemonpie:

Consider hosting/installing on linux through LGSM so you won't be missing any dependencies.
It also includes a server monitor which can reboot after scheduled shutdowns or unscheduled crashes

https://7dac.net/linux-server-setup-guide/

Best to just create a new user, start from scratch using that guide and you could have it up in under an hour by simply following the steps

Edit: And if you still need help come into the official discord. Lemonpie can better answer you directly there.

For the record, the only thing I want from this new version is to stop randomly exploding for no reason.

hm. Is that intended for the unwashed hordes? Khaine hasn't posted anything on the 7DtD forums. (Just seems like bug reporting could get really messy if this version isn't intended for public consumption).

Edit: ah, nevermind. He just posted it.
