Honestly, if you folks want to ignore this, you can.
I just wanted to say thank you for all the support over the past god knows how many months. I have absolutely no idea how I ended up this lucky with folks choosing to join the patreon... I really don't.
But I wake up every day and feel both thankful and lucky.
And I wanted you all to know that. :)
Also, gonna be real with you, I've been using part of it to help out my local rescue, because they really need it rig...
I may have spent some more money...
My wife was lamenting the lack of "sexy" or "attractive" Incubi...
So, from left to right...
Left - Succubus
Front Left -Incubus
Front Right - Incubus King (name may change)
Right - Succubus Queen (name may change)
Back Left - Demonic Behemoth
Back Right - Empowered Demonic Behemoth
Yes, we're looking at adding a tier of enemies above demons since some people thought the mod was too easy once you obtain laser weapo...
The dev build to fix up some issues is progressing nicely, so I thought I'd post it up for you to all play around with :) It seems nice and stable, so you should be able to have a long playthrough.
V4.1.1-DEV-B1
- Fixed Master Survivalist not unlocking the titanium crossbow and bolts. Also fixed the localization and unlockedby.
- Fixed the Hunter/Survivalist bow crafting tiers as they weren't properly swapped over.
- Fixed various medical item bundles giving back the wrong ite...
As you folks likely know, the current succubus model is... kinda broken.
She's also no longer updated and depreciated on the asset store.
So, as per the previous post, I bought a new succubus model. But the wings didn't animate. So I bought new wings.
The Succubus with the bat wings is going to be the replacement model for the current Succubus.
The one with the burning, fallen angel wings? (yes that particle is part of the wings... it's smoke) That's another one I ...
I absolutely bought this with this month's patreon...
... plus an animation pack...
...and it may have been £150 total...
I regret nothing.
On the good side, this model isn't broken AF like the old one, so I've been able to re-rig it to conform to TFP standards, so I am VERY happy.
I promised I'd turn it on today.
So I did.
Now, I don't fully understand how it works for you guys. As far as I know, you will continue to be billed on the 1st.
I THINK you can cancel and resub later in the month (which does mean pay twice) to get a new date, but it might be safer to cancel and resub NEXT month if you want to take advantage of it.
But it's here. It's on. You can now control your payment date if you so wish. :)
So I have a question for you all.
Patreon have announced a change that I can turn on. What it will do, is it will only take payment from you on the date that you start your patreon. So if you started on the 29th, it'd be taken every 29th, not taken on the 29th and then AGAIN on the first.
But, they also say that it will only take effect for new patreons. You guys will still be on the 1st of every month.
What do you all think? Is it worth turning on? I know some of you mig...
Alright, so now 4.1 is out, I thought I'd discuss what I'm currently planning with DF.
Honestly? It's boring. I'm collecting lists of bugs and working on fixing them as they crop up.
And that's probably about it. I don't forsee adding more to the mod as I suspect A21 will be end of this year. So bug fixing for a 4.1.1 is basically the current, long term plan.
The short term plan?
It's getting cold. I'm gonna hibernate in bed with my switch for a bit. ;)
For ...
It's here.
It's done.
And as per usual, i'm giving you folks alt links to download from so you don't need to worry about gitlab/azure traffic limits and other such bollocks. :)

Right, so we're getting close to the end of september, which was my rough estimate for when Darkness Falls 4.1 will go stable.
As such, this is the current plan for release.
- Bug content lock as of 23rd September (friday). Basically anything "minor" probably won't be getting fixed so I can work on the list I do have, but anything "major" WILL be fixed after this date.
- Upload and post non-gitlab/azure links for you folks on the 30th.
- Upload and post non-gitlab/az...
I've been trying to get the lockable slots to save for a while.
Another modder, much smater than me (FuriousRamsay) managed to get it to work.
So, lockable slots now save, and are set back to what you had on game reboot. This screenshot? This was after setting to 8, closing the game completely, and rebooting it :)
So huge thanks to FuriousRamsay for saving me hours of smashing my head on a wall.
So B16 didn't have a massive amount of important stuff to push out, and the important stuff that DID need pushing out also needed a new save in order to show up.
Because of that, I wanted to wait for B17 to be ready, and you'll see why. :)
So here's the patch notes for B16 AND B17, and a download link for B17!
V4.1.0-DEV-B16
- Fixed many issues with PEP and NRE's while trying to generate random worlds.
- Fixed a PEP POI having missing blocks.
- Changed a PEP POI ...
Alright, I got it all sorted. This was way easier to fix than my brain decided to make it, so yay for overthinking shit.
I hate myself sometimes.
So, I passed on a very basic version to everyone in the discord, then finished up the rest of the POI's... and here it is!
POI Expansion Pack (PEP - V1.0.0.2)
Wilderness POI's work now.
Go into /Mods, delete the PEP-POIExpansionPack folder, replace with this one.
Tested with 2k, 3k, 4k, 5k, 6k, 7k and 8k gen...
This is an odd one, because there's only a small amount of bug fixes. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut... the first release of PEP is now included! Notes as follows.
V4.1.0-DEV-B15
- Added POI Expansion Pack! (PEP)
- Fixed Bob's trader protection.
- Removed Razor's, Eve's and Anna's trader protection because I forgot about that.
- Removed the trader tier rewards as they weren't intended for DF anyways.
- Redid Rad Resistance display again.
- Scarecrow isn't worth a ton to se...
Another dev build up and ready. I did post this in discord and then forgot to post it in here due to kitten emergency (and by that, I mean they escaped the room they were in and needed collecting, they're all fine)
Patch notes and such.
V4.1.0-DEV-B14
- Updated SCore to version posted on 6th September which fixes the linux issue.
- Added Bad Window Replace by Grumbleman/Games'n'Grumble because they asked me to take a look at it and include it if it seems good.
- Did ...
Since insomnia is kicking the crap out of me today, I figured I'd put it to use and get some stuff done.
So the alternative to CompoPack that I have been working on has finally gone out to testers as a beta release! Everything is sized to fit into standard A20 random world gen. No custom tiles like the CompoPack team are doing or anything like that.
It just slots right in!
That was a lot of work, but hopefully it will be worth it. :) Our plan now, is to test this new pack...
Done a lot of work over the past few days, so it's time to combine all those various builds into one big download. Be aware, this is B13 but I am including the patch notes for ALL the previous builds between this and B10 so you're all up to date on what changed.
I think it should be save compatible... mostly... but I'm not guaranteeing it.
V4.1.0-DEV-B11
- Fixed Forge Ahead localization.
- Forge Ahead book should now correctly unlock all 3 levels when read several times.
Couple of new weapons going into 4.1
I present for you, the Laser Spear and Power Fist! (Yes, I know the left fist has the thumb on the wrong side, but it's taken FOREVER to find a model that works)
Just a small heads up for anyone who pledges on here for my youtube crap. ;)
I have to wait for patreon lists to update on here to properly update end cards, do shoutouts, etc. That's the 1st (thursday), but I recorded all of next weeks 7DTD yesterday (27th).
So shoutouts and end card updates will be on Monday the 5th of September. I haven't forgotten, I just pre-record so I have time during the week to do other work stuff!
Don't worry, I got you. <3
I want to preface this by stating I'm not trying to guilt people into increasing pledges or anything like that.
But I just wanted to say thank you.
The electricity/gas prices in the UK are due to go up again from October. Then again next year. It is entirely possible I might be paying around £500/month for gas and electric around Feb/March next year.
That's not a joke. Those are seriously the projections right now.
Would I be able to afford it without patreon and yout...
2022-08-26 08:26:44 +0000 UTC View PostWe're getting close to 4.1 being ready. There is still more work to do, but I feel it's "done enough" to let folks mess around with it and give some feedback. So... here you go!
V4.1.0-DEV-B9
- Updated SCore to latest version as of 7th August.
- Large backend XML rewrite to make things easier for future alphas.
- Added grumpybeards fertilized crops fix.
- Added underground variants of cannabis and rice (localization not done).
- Halved the range of Threat Assessment.

A21 is changing where mods are loaded from to the new location that's listed in the screenshot above. That directory can be a pain in the ass for users to find.
So... I'm working on a custom installer! I've got the installing bit working (and the mod loads fine from this location), but the uninstall bit is being difficult.
The hope is that users can just download the mod, click the EXE, install, boot 7DTD and play. :) When you're done, go to Darkness Falls Mod in the start menu,...
Unsure if this will make it into 4.1. It was more of a "Can I get this to work?" than a "I definitely want this in the mod." Also it's something i've been wanting to get working since A17 and I never could.
So yeah... Proof of Concept. Find repairable vehicle, apply X amount of vehicle repair kits, get working vehicle. :) We're currently in discussion on if it hsould go into 4.1 but would love to hear your thoughts too!
So, A20.6 is out, so it means it's time for 4.04 to be released. As per an earlier post, I'm making sure you guys ALWAYS have a Google Drive and Mega link for speed purposes.
As such, here they are! Plus patch notes. :)
V4.04
- Updated for A20.6.
- Should include the fixed twitch file if I copied the right one, because twitch nerds apparently can't live without twitch integration.
- Potentially fixed CompoPack breaking traders.
- Moved all CompoPack files into their ...
You guys are getting a lot of sneak peeks today, aren't you? ;)
I posted a screenshot of this on twitter, but thought i'd upload a video on here for you folks to see how it ACTUALLY works.
I got Sphereii and Xyth's lockpicking system working. :)
I'm not sure about the arrow keys/spacebar though. I may see if I can grab whatever the player has set for their move left/move right/jump keys and have it use those instead.
So this is just a bit of an update on what's going on with DF 4.1 and also the CompoPack Alternative that we're working on.
DF 4.1 is currently on DEV-B7. It's pretty stable, so it might be ready for a public experimental release fairly soon. I'll make sure you folks get maybe an hour or so before public, and also that you have an alternative link to download from.
That means I now have more time to spend on updating A19 compopack to A20 standards in terms of missing blocks and ...
Thought I'd do a video showing off a fairly major 4.1 feature as a bit of a thank you for Patreons and youtube members.
So I'm showing off a couple of new toys, plus the bunker FPS improvements, and also the fireball fix so you can't be fireballed through floors anymore!
Someone gave me a hint on how to fix the trader issue we've been having. Surprise surprise... it was compo pack.
So here's a new dev build HOPEFULLY with that crap fixed. Again, this is for A20.6 Experimental.
V4.04-DEV-B2
- Potentially fixed CompoPack breaking traders.
- Moved all CompoPack files into their own folder so players can just delete that if they don't want it in DF.

So Alpha 20.6 went into experimental.
And as expected, it broke DF, because TFP changed something and then didn't document it in the patch notes. Admittedly it's something that players wouldn't care about, but it's critical information for modders.
Yay.
So instead of pre-recording some youtube content, i've been getting a 4.04 dev build ready... which it now is.
So you guys can have a few hours early access, but don't tell anyone. ;) Here's the patch notes and link...
