waiting for the update!

Sounds good, B42's lightning/environment changes with this would be so good. My friend's don't like it, but I personally love the feeling of having to walk (or get out) of a city during the heavy fog/night. It's so immersive seeing the fading zombies on the edge of fog vision.

I think leaving the Sandbox options toggleable (or just removed) would solidify compatibility a lot, as there's a couple of mods like RZ, Definitive Zombies, etc being revamped in B42 that could easily handle all of it like the current workarounds are now for B41. (IE using Random Zombies/Day&Night while disabling this mods ZLore feature). Though the vehicle malfunctioning is a great idea.

Appreciate you still working on this Monkey

Okay no problem, thank you for your work!

B42 rewrite will take a while as I'm rewriting the scheduling code to be less buggy. Unfortunately juggling this and 4 other projects, I don't have time to post updates on discord. I will release a public test version when it's ready so just follow my workshop to stay updated.

Hi, discord link is expired, can we get another one? I would love to beta test this mod

Oh, NVM all good! Said mod takes a while to apply the update. A short while after entering Darkness the console popped up with RZN&D's mod info about changing the applied preset and it worked. SO GOOD - it fixes the problem with this mods Zombie Lore not working with MP.

THAT SAID - when I rejoined the server mid-Darkness event, it loaded the Darkness back correctly, but the fog didn't come back, with an error "Missing texture: media/textures/weather/fogwhite.png. Which is weird, I don't recall changing anything since yesterday that even comes close to that...

Hey @Monkey, is this fog generated by the mod a special type of fog and not vanilla fog?

I have Random Zombies Night And Day And Special Events patch, with SE options set to FOG above 70% = changing zombie behaviour. But it's not changing the zombies to sprinters when in fog during The Darkness. I look in the console, and see it says adding modded fog

pls update

pls upd for b42

Add new discord link please. Would love to betatest b42 version

pls updating mod for b42 you mod is phenomenal

Is it working with the mod Sun Sensitive Zombies ? (changing zombies from walker into runner when it's the night)

I'm gonna try this mod with a super low zombie population with sprinters only. Make it 28 Days Laterish

It supposed to constantly have the alarm going after the Fog?

can you post another link to your discord server? the one below is expired

@Monkey seems the link to the discord expired. Any chance you can repost it please? Also thanks for the great mod, can't wait to play it again! <3

Broken mod. Co-Op doesn't work.

please update for b42. i am a crippling silent hill fan.

updating mod pls for b42 you mod is great and exelent for terror and suspensed

@Akira it should be but make backup of the save. Mod was initially designed for SP and MP is unstable.

Is it possible to install this mod midgame on a dedicated server?

@Pantstain Stupid comment. You don't have to join. No need to moan about it.

There's no good way to post updates on Steam of ongoing development and test branches. Any people that will join, can help with SP & MP testing and that would be much appreciated.

the last thing ppl want is yet ANOTHER discord server to join

Join the discord for updates on The Darkness Is Coming and also to follow any announcements regarding new and updated mods!

Notify me when It is compatible with B42, please.

need b42!

Bro update pls on 42 build pls

no worries monkey! when you have time !

Is there any chance that in the future the mod will work correctly in multiplayer via the “host” button?

Apologies, I simply don't have the free time to do this right for free right now. I am juggling 3 other projects that net me some money - non PZ related. I just had some free time and ported some of the most popular mods to B42 already.

Monkey your killing me =( ....okay then

Indeed. Took a look at the lighting features they introduce and it seems like they really simplified the way global illumination is handled. Should make this mod much simpler and less buggy. However I don’t want to commit to a rewrite release until after B42 is in stable.

B42 is out my friend!

I cannot install this mod, the server I got this error while starting the server and cannot find any sandbox options,:

"TheDarknessIsComing" not found.

I verified and the mokey´s lib is installed properly.
YES the 2858019558 id is listed in the workshop Items list.

I would like to make it so that sleeping is disabled during darkness events but the sleep debuff doesn't move past the second stage. Is that possible?

it doesnt work in multiplayer, is there any solution?

dont install this midgame becuase if u delete this midgame it will make bugs and break save with climate options

So being the zombie lore setting has to be disabled for dedicated server, that means the zombies will always just be whatever our default settings are when the darkness comes?

Excited to see this in B42, thank you for all your work.

DOSE NOT WORK ON MULTIPLAYER SERVERS. Nothing works it just gets dark.

Yo this mod looks sick but it has no sirens crows or sprinters it just gets dark. Dose it not work on MP servers?

Update: It's not broken. Somehow in this specific game, it just didn't happen within 10 days, for some strange reason? But testing it out again, it's just fine now. Huh.

It doesn't appear to be working. The "darkness" event never happens.

I uninstalled the mod because its so buggy but every zombie i encounter is a sprinter WHAT DO I DO

WHEN DOES IT END????

The mod is not working for me, does anyone have any information?

se me bugeo la niebla y esta 24/7 como la puedo quitar

Love the mod, does it work with total conversion map mods (e.g. Cherborg, Lost Province)?

Awesome, very excited for B42 and the re-work.
