[shell fjord]

not sure if that messes up the dialog tho, but should work and make the npc fight you

enjoy the meal, hope it's not human flesh

[shell fjord]

[hushed flint]

ponks*

[ashen barn]

i wanna be able to post images 😢

[shell fjord]

what's your biomarker level?

as soon as you reach lv1 i think you can

[elder ravine]

Arnt those tampons?

[ashen barn]

i thoguht it was roles given out to trusted individuals

[worthy shuttle]

@hushed flint got 🎁 Present!

[shell fjord]

lol you have to check with techland

I wasn't able to post pics, so I just chat in general game chat for like 2hrs to level up my biomarker lv, then I could

maybe try that

[ashen barn]

yhyh

ty

[torpid horizon]

Can I change fighting sounds to Ronnie Coleman sreams?

[shell fjord]

probably not in the editor, that sounds like a datamining thing to modify the base game? But you can probably trigger a song when certain event happens in Story or make a theme song for an area

Unfortunately audio emitter doesn't work in the editor, don't know what's techland's schedule to fix them. But you can submit a ticket to boost that if you want

[hushed flint]

but on challenge you can

( parkour )

[shell fjord]

nice, I haven't tried parkour challenges, they seem pretty fun to work with

I wonder if you can change that into a combat challenge instead of parkour

[hushed flint]

I thinks its the same things

but with challenge diffirente

basically it's a scripts

[hushed flint]

weird

when I die the other quest like don't work

[tall hull]

can i mess any ini to allocate more memory to the engine? i have 64gb of ram and a 3080 ti but i seem to crash on a lot of things

[hushed flint]

its not your pc the problem its what you do in your map

[tall hull]

is there any optimization tricks i can look out for/lods or occluding areas

[hushed flint]

i don't know ask to aciek for this

[tall hull]

i'll have to ask later on, i don't want to be too much of a bother haha

[hushed flint]

can we have a vocale for devtools dlg 2 ?

[shell fjord]

@hushed flint you ever encounter this error in your dialog? I have my humanai entity and dialog entity both in the level, but it's still giving me this error

[hushed flint]

mh show me your scene and your plecement.....

[hushed flint]

do you have place two same dialogs ?

[hushed flint]

mh okay you need to

frick I forget

[shell fjord]

no just one

[hushed flint]

show all of your story

[hushed flint]

OOhh

I saw why

make your things like that

[shell fjord]

this is the only chicken dialog node

make it another prefab?

[hushed flint]

wait

do you have add a dialogs in the same story like ''2 mission in the same''

look

this is 2 mission

[shell fjord]

hrm no I only have the default mission

[hushed flint]

okay so the dialogs is a part of the story ? '' missing wallet ?

[shell fjord]

yes

[hushed flint]

okay..

show me all part of your story

dnt wanna just have a part

[shell fjord]

ok

[hushed flint]

or right click on the error

and track the issue

[hushed flint]

go on your validate

[shell fjord]

it doesn't do anything when I rmb and track issues tho

[hushed flint]

when you start the game the dialogs dsnt show up ?

[shell fjord]

yea it doesn't, this dialog was a previous test dialog and I just changed it to do the faction test

[hushed flint]

I never seen this

if aciek can be there

[shell fjord]

I wonder if I can only create a new dialog instead of changing it 😦 I will create a new one and see what happens

yeah If Aciek is here that'd be nice

[hushed flint]

yeah..

[shell fjord]

I created a new dialog now it has an additional error saying the dialog entity doesn’t exist either…

Wth

I’m gonna try build the game and see if that’s the issue 🫠

I changed Damien to Abdul, it had the same error, but after I run the game couple times the error is gone...

wth

guess that running forced the editor to update its relationship?

but anyway...seems my data setup was alright

[hushed flint]

[shell fjord]

[gilded oriole]

Is possible to play custom maps on ps4. if I make one

[shell fjord]

not at the moment, but some time in 2023

[gilded oriole]

Ig imma jus buy a new computer lmao

[deep bronze]

@shell fjord Do you still have issue with this dialog?

[shell fjord]

Thanks I'm good! Not sure what fixed it.. but it's good now 😂 appreciate for offering help Aciek!

[deep bronze]

Oke.

[ashen barn]

what attributes must i modify for tiny object helper.prefab

I RANKED UP YAY

[deep bronze]

First you need to have foliage.

If you want to use Tiny object helper.

Do you have any on your terrain?

If not, check this out: #🔧︱dev-tools message

[ashen barn]

I do have it on terrain i did follow that guide

tbh

if i had it manually i have more control

[ashen barn]

what are these yellow things flashing?

the rocks to the middle left

[deep bronze]

It means this LOD missing material on this side. You cannot fix the material, but you can increase LOD visbility by selecting mesh and in attributes somewhere is LOD Visibility. Set it to Force0 or something.

[ashen barn]

thank you!

that col universal shape is perfect when using env probes to get accurate blending etc

[latent scroll]

hello 🙂 i would like to know if there is an option how can snap assets between them (like wall)

[deep bronze]

@latent scroll

[latent scroll]

thank you so much ! that's what i'm looking for. With this grid steps option it solves a lot of problem

[ashen barn]

With scales it only lets me increase the overall size instead of like a free scale method. Is it only with certain meshes that can be scaled on all axis?

[hidden cedar]

how did you group your dialog with the quest object and human ai? mine's also like how FrankX is set up

[hushed flint]

• right click on it
• create a prefab from selected

[hidden cedar]

perfect, thank you!

[hushed flint]

you welcome

[alpine lynx]

Make sure you have local coordmode on. You cant free scale skinned meshes or prefabs

actually I dont think local is necessary idk

[hushed flint]

what called the prefab for a safe zone ?

[deep bronze]

Sanctuary

[hushed flint]

this one ?

[deep bronze]

Yes

[hushed flint]

thx

[hushed flint]

another question how can I make for the editor to have like a Lod distance

because my fps down really bad if I turn where is my mesh tree.

-my current frame rate is 67 on the editor

[torpid horizon]

Bruh

I got 13

Don't conplain

[hushed flint]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1055612634742935722/1056903773601153124/image0.gif

[torpid horizon]

You can hide some trees

Or disable the foliage

And then turn it back on

[hushed flint]

yeah but,, I thinks the editor have a Lod

not sure

[torpid horizon]

Search in atributes

[hushed flint]

because I see like my build at a fucking distance

check that

[torpid horizon]

Do you see enviroment window?

[hushed flint]

wtf

[torpid horizon]

The one in which you change time

?

Disolve should work

But I don't know

When I had it on everything would dissapear 25 meters away

[hushed flint]

bruh me its 200 meters away

my pc is like

rtx 2070 super... operating to explode

[torpid horizon]

Wtf

I have a laptop

Bro

1660ti i7

[hushed flint]

a laptop you said ?

HOw

[torpid horizon]

90 degrees on CPU

[hushed flint]

did you lunch that iditor

[torpid horizon]

Yeah

Acer predator helios 300 2019

[hushed flint]

definitely not normal your burning your composent

[torpid horizon]

I make marschmellows while gaming

[hushed flint]

my temp change all time so 75 degres don't matter

[torpid horizon]

On GPU its 77 for me

[hushed flint]

it's normal if it doesn't exceed 80

but 90 on your cpu what the hell

how can you be able to talk on discord

[torpid horizon]

It' normal if it doesn't explode🤓🤓🤓

[hushed flint]

sound like a skills issue to me

[torpid horizon]

I hope it doesn't explode

Thats it

[hushed flint]

oh wow try this

[torpid horizon]

Select diffuse

It stands for color

I will try it out

[hushed flint]

much smooth now

[torpid horizon]

I'm gonna try it out too

[ashen barn]

This is like full bright view. Handy when detailing etc. thank you

My gpu hits 78c with dev tools lmao it’s cool

[hushed flint]

bro what we have dying light 1 drop gre box

[torpid horizon]

it's a sign to build harran

[hushed flint]

fr

[hushed flint]

try this , this will approve your fps like a lot much better than all

my pc is calm now

select that

[ashen barn]

whats the default option for that

[deep bronze]

For View Preset?

[ashen barn]

yes

[deep bronze]

"Normal - it's like in game

[ashen barn]

ofcourse lmao

[ashen barn]

heres me imaging normal maps on every surface LOL

[deep bronze]

Hey everyone, I created a folder with tutorials, some of them are still in the process, but you can use. Since I won't have the opportunity to record too often, I focused on quantity instead of quality before the official tutorials arrive. I devoted my private time to it, just to tell this it's not part of techland content.

[hushed flint]

see the difference

[ashen barn]

pog

and the latter has me excited

[hushed flint]

what the hell

nice ! omg

[ashen barn]

how big is the download jaha

[hushed flint]

just click on it

[ashen barn]

i sometimes have no wifi (my pc is dodgy) so downloading them means i dont need a connection to watch

if that makes sense

[hushed flint]

right click and download

( french ) srry

[ashen barn]

@deep bronze just wanna say thank you for listening to feedback and always pointing us in the right direction!

its 2gb thats fine

[deep bronze]

its my pleasure man

oh right @hushed flint you wanted to have tutorial about rewards

its comming in like in 5 min

okay i lied its up now

[hushed flint]

Nice

[torpid horizon]

@deep bronze how to add chemicals around the map that deal damage?

[deep bronze]

I was checking the scripts, but it seems it will be troublesome. It's not possible to make it in easy way. You can fake it tho a bit.
Add Chemical_Overlay.prefab

+If you want logic
Add damaging_emitter.prefab
Add Gameplay_Modifier_Area with Dark_Zone

[torpid horizon]

is there a way to scale chemical overlay?

I see the box getting bigger but not the chemicals

[deep bronze]

Presets (green fields in attributes)

[torpid horizon]

ok

I see it

thank you

[hushed flint]

I thinks I activate a things that disable the effect any one have the solution to re activate it

[deep bronze]

You need filters

but i cannot see it on your toolbar lol

[torpid horizon]

the chemical overlay from town_prefab doesnt damage you?

[deep bronze]

^ @hushed flint

[deep bronze]

noppers, like I said you can fake it, but I don't think you can set it properly right now.

[hushed flint]

I wanted to delete the grass with the ''arase'' option then it deletes the land and the grass, is there a way to have the land again

[hushed flint]

thx

[hushed flint]

wieird

i'm just gonna place rock

perfect

[tall hull]

thank you so much for the tutorials, aciek!

[torpid horizon]

@deep bronze be like
https://youtu.be/Ux5cQbO_ybw

[deep bronze]

@hushed flint it might be related also to view preset, if you change to editor you have it back?

[hushed flint]

your right

[brazen wing]

Quick question, I got 0 experience on dev tool and all I wanted-want to do is build a some what tall mountain or scale up a roof or road piece and angle it so I can kick some zombos and watch them roll to their death, any suggestions or tips? And ye the ragdolls remind me alot of gta 4s physics so I just wanna mess around

[hushed flint]

do you have create a terrain ?

this is really long to have a potential maps

but your idee is cool

[brazen wing]

Ye but I dunno how to set spawns for me and the zombies on top of the mountain

Lile I said 0 experience

[hushed flint]

can you vocale so I can show you

to long to write

open

[brazen wing]

Not home currently

[hushed flint]

click on the map and drag it

right click

create

done

or follow the tutorial aciek make

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16yTlkW7l0wABXm0bNR8TUzEySAg_XryI?usp=sharing

[brazen wing]

Oof

I'll check it out, thank you.

[hushed flint]

your welcome

[elder ravine]

probably missed the ship here, but are there tutorials/guides for how to blockout/greybox in either Dying Light 1 or 2 tools?

do you use the dummy_box?

[torpid horizon]

place prefabs or dummy boxes

[elder ravine]

many thanks I have wall and door now this magnet snapping system is interesting

[shell fjord]

@hushed flint found how you do the safe zone size, check _q_19_safezone.prefab and you will see sanctuary.prefab is using sanctuary_area (which is area_marker.prefab) to indicate safezone area. Just scale your area_marker to shape it or make it bigger

[deep bronze]

This is kinda old logic, there is no need for location.prefab anymore. I will do short tutorial about how to setup.

[deep bronze]

It's up on Google Drive. Look for Detectable.

[torpid horizon]

How to add UV lamps with light?

[deep bronze]

lamp.prefab

[winter plaza]

is ai_spawner_number bugged or smth? because i cant set the attributes anymore like i used to

the AI is also acting weird when i play the map

[elder ravine]

Hi, new here on the dev tools... I have some sort of issue when testing out my map where everything I made doesn't load in or appear while playing my map, anybody have a clue why that is happening?

[alpine lynx]

In Scene window theres sandbox and level. Drag all assets you want visible in game under level category

Right click Level -> Open

[latent scroll]

why on certain prefabs texture are grey out and we can't change them in attribute>meshes ?

[hidden cedar]

Wooo! finally got dialogue working lmao

[deep bronze]

you mean Mesh Skin? Maybe they just have one material. Try look for smillar mesh.

[latent scroll]

if you take a look at bc_bridge_platform_base_surv_d the pillar are greyed out while other have good materials

and in the Attribute > Meshes i can't change them cause it's greyed out also

[deep bronze]

So it means there is no material for it, can't be helped not sure if its missing asset or it should be like this. Sorry, can't help you here.

You can send ticket as a bug or worry to support, they will look for it.
https://dyinglight2.support.techland.pl/en/support/tickets/new

[hushed flint]

Aciek do you have do a tutorial about safe zone . I don't see it

this one is for the safe zone ?

because its called dark or Uv zone

you just basically set a zone with Uv ?

[hushed flint]

like that

[deep bronze]

yes, there is

[hushed flint]

cool

[deep bronze]

better view

[hushed flint]

ooohh

wow

this nice

[deep bronze]

Wait a sec... I recorded for sure tutorial about Safe Zone. Not sure tho if its on google drive lol

[hushed flint]

yeah..

[deep bronze]

Sanctuary.prefab + Area_Marker.prefab

I need to make another tutorial, because i removed all videos. Welp.

[deep bronze]

^

You got this. I will do quick tut and goin' afk and upload it in like 20 min

[hushed flint]

okay nice

[deep bronze]

@hushed flint

Thanks for pointing this out, I woudn't know. 😄

[hushed flint]

thx

[latent scroll]

can we deactivate some functionality of prefabs like hide some of walls or house, some npc, disable missions etc.. ?

[hushed flint]

what ?

I have been ping

[brazen wing]

ye by me wanted to say thanks again, made the ragdoll thing I wanted

can't sent links to videos yet I guess

[hushed flint]

Okay now my safe zone work thx aciek

[dusk dagger]

My condolences

[hushed flint]

Little trade zone

[deep bronze]

There's a tutorial with vendor/shopkeeper/craftmaster if you want to add

:>

[hushed flint]

i'm on it

[hushed flint]

this work

[shell fjord]

Thanks Aciek! Good to know, will check the tut out. And happy new year 🍻

[tall hull]

what are these yellow glowing things that display through the map under rocks and how can i be rid of it?

[ashen barn]

@tall hull

[tall hull]

thx

[hushed flint]

aciek ? I set a barrier and I can't trade with him. like I don't want the player to go in

[deep bronze]

check collsion masks and turn off raytrace

[hushed flint]

here ?

[tall hull]

do any of ur tutorials contain how to add a death barrier/area that will turn with the chemicals?

[hushed flint]

yeah check on the google drive

[deep bronze]

There's no tutorial on chemicals due to missing things to make it right. I can just fake it now, so I skipped it.

But if you want to add just as visuals right now

chemical_overlay

[hushed flint]

this work thx

[deep bronze]

gr8

[tall hull]

thanks aciek! also, i'm trying to fake it with damaging emitter but i can't scale the emitter by extents

is there something i am missing?

[latent scroll]

how do i find rotator_controller and how to use them please ?

[deep bronze]

I cannot tell you how to find it, but how to use is in my folder with tuts.

@tall hull I just added /

[tall hull]

thank you!! that's very kind of you

also i've noticed my player spawn isn't really working, is there any attributes i need to look out for?

[deep bronze]

Do you have SpawnPoint.prefab named "MapStart" on your level?

[tall hull]

no, i'll change it to that now

[deep bronze]

thats gonna be the very starting point after loading the game

[tall hull]

yeah, that's my intention :) i don't know why, it just stopped working so i tried to readd spawnpoint.prefab but wasn't sure if it needed any attributes

[latent scroll]

all of the rotator are in the prefabs "pinlock" so you can't do any action from them (copy, cut, delete etc)

[deep bronze]

check dm

@latent scroll

[deep bronze]

nah, default one is good

[hushed flint]

aciek I have a question , can we do a custom map in the map of the player ?

[tall hull]

i may have removed it, so i'm just going to see if this new one works now

yeah! it works, thank you

[deep bronze]

i dont know what you mean

You want minimap or Menu?

Or ?

[hushed flint]

minimap

[deep bronze]

Probably not now.

[hushed flint]

😦

[ashen barn]

how can i go about making it night time when i load my map?

[deep bronze]

In editor? Probably you can't.

You have to change it manually.

[ashen barn]

in game, as it always loads in at 12

noon

ill have to wait i lol

[ashen barn]

but when i launch its at mid day

[hushed flint]

go on story

[deep bronze]

changing in editor not changes it in the game

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KxnQ_fqEWmwrfsCvPy6I--zChXzsn_C2?usp=sharing

in story SetDayPhase

[ashen barn]

perfect

[deep bronze]

or SetDaytime

[hushed flint]

oops

I thinks I broke something

how can I link the things to a crane

[tall hull]

sorry to bother aciek, but i tried to do your tutorial on making aiden stronger with more skills but i have a bunch of errors in my quest validator

invoke has no matching quest
objective file has no matcing quest
objective localization has no matching quest
and setplayerpreset must be deleted in release build

how do i go about fixing these?

[hushed flint]

setplayerpreset must be deleted in release build ( its normal )

[deep bronze]

show me /root

also don't care about these things

they are just warnings/errors but stor y will work

[tall hull]

ohhh ok, sorry just messing with the story now

[deep bronze]

@hushed flint what prefab are you using?

[hushed flint]

I can't click it
( bugged )

I follow the tut of the physic

but

like you just show a atlas of things

[deep bronze]

mhm

well

i dont know about all objects

sooooooooo...

[hushed flint]

don't worry

[deep bronze]

nm_hanging_box_cage

use this one

it will work

[hushed flint]

yeah but when you go on the box the box gonna fall with you

Lol

[deep bronze]

beeeecause you're not suppose to climb this

on top

but wait

nm_hanging_box_cage are you using this one?

for sure?

i just tested it and works perfectly

i can hang on it

[hushed flint]

lmao

[winter plaza]

how about chicken

[hushed flint]

had to upgrade it because of that

[hushed flint]

👍

take your time

[winter plaza]

thx me later x100

[winter plaza]

when i set the amount of the spawns inside ai_spawner_number why does some of the ai not spawn

like when i set it 5 there are like only 2 or 1

[hushed flint]

go on attributes you can found a number of zombie spawn ( I thinks )

its ramdom I thinks

[winter plaza]

well the amount of spawns was exactly the same as i set it when i tested it a few days ago

[hushed flint]

idk go on the drive and found a tut

[winter plaza]

since then i didnt touch the prefab but now its kind of bugging around

[hushed flint]

if someone can help me with the map to make more performence / add and delete some tree

[hushed flint]

I have somethings wrong with the texture
( I thinks its satellite texture )

[tall hull]

generate satellite texture

[hushed flint]

yep

thx

I will delete some tree , I have to much for nothings

[tall hull]

u could use lowpoly tree

[hushed flint]

i'm creating a quest

[tall hull]

for background

[hushed flint]

yeah sure

but its the hakon island

[tall hull]

i cannot post file otherwise i would post picture

[deep bronze]

Snapping, top right corner.

[hushed flint]

thx aciek

[hushed flint]

hey aciek its normal you need to go in attribute for settings the m_dialogsEntity , this feel weird to be not able to have a selection in this

[deep bronze]

Yes, it's normal. You have "3 dots" where you can click and choose or set entity when you select in scene. I don't get where's the problem.

[hushed flint]

Yes in attributes but not in the dialogue node

it's just feel weird to not have them

[deep bronze]

Well, good point. Would you add this to feedback?

[hushed flint]

yep right now i'm doing this

can you give me the link I don't see it on the net ( or i'm just blind )

I send it !

what I have do

[hushed flint]

I send it now

[hushed flint]

-- hey I found that tree are not the best performance things for a maps but building are really simple and don't take to much. its weird

[serene gyro]

anyone know how add scripts from data0.pak into your project?

[hushed flint]

its a form of datamining you mean ?

[serene gyro]

yeah just wanna edit loot tables like item_sets.loot file etc

[hushed flint]

can't help you with that

[serene gyro]

ok no worries i tryed adding scripts folder then inventory folder then item_sets.loot in my project to see it would load new edits from item_sets.loot i done i loot the dead infected and no change, seems still load normal item_sets.loot for some reason

[latent scroll]

someone have a list of whole weapon that can be edited in default_player_setup please ?

[hushed flint]

i'm gonna post my map the 03 - 04 - 05 probably
and its gonna be fire

i'm ajusting the performence / add new npc / add new quest / add new easter egg

in a maj I will do parkour challenge

this will be a pre-lunch of my map

[winter plaza]

its been 19h

[hushed flint]

i'm gonna test it don't worry friends 🙂

idk why dying light 2 graphic look kinda like fortnite chapiter 1

[winter plaza]

lol

[hushed flint]

why I see really longe ?

[elder ravine]

Okay for real why was elysium even made if it's not going to be in the game?

[deep bronze]

Just put itemspawner.prefab on level and check all id's in attributes with filter "wpn"

[dusk dagger]

that's the fun part it was never made

It's part of your imagination

Wake up.

hey aciek, if i publish my map towards the contest/upload it, can i still update the map after uploading?

[hushed flint]

yes you can

yesterday I did a 21 of work on my map, I never got there on a project

[tall hull]

thank you :)

[hushed flint]

hey how can I make my tree more permance in longer view because idk why but when you look in the midle of the map you become really laggy and this is not fun.

The lod does not seem to work well

on tree

[torpid horizon]

if you have thousands of them

it's gonna get laggy

[hushed flint]

I have 700

idk why but you see very far

wtf do i make

[tall hull]

use variety with foliage, try using hor_billboard_trees

[hushed flint]

No

[tall hull]

hmmm. is there anyway to add occlusion culling to certain areas like when you go into interior can you unload exteriors? or unload parts of map depending on where you are??

[hushed flint]

idk

like the tree are not considered in the lod this weird

i'm gonna make more base of survivor

[tall hull]

tools > options > control > lod multiplier

try change

[hushed flint]

I set to 10

oh

idk

[tall hull]

hmmmm does it perform better in game in editor i lag but in game is better

[hushed flint]

-hello my friends how are you doing.

[tall hull]

[alpine lynx]

Send screenshot of your story nodes

[alpine lynx]

I dont know what you got there, but damn that performance drop

[hushed flint]

yeah.. I set like 600 but now its better with the things in the mountains

[alpine lynx]

On behalf of Christopher

[tall hull]

(the nodes aren't disabled, that was just a bug i had to restart)

[hushed flint]

no

you don't need to restart

and that not a bug

i'll keep that in mind next time!

do you know why my quest isn't automatically starting?

[deep bronze]

@tall hull Do you had another strony?

story

[tall hull]

i don't believe so

[deep bronze]

You are sure you don't have 2nd story? Show me File -> Campagin, is map attached?

[hushed flint]

aciek question , this is okay if I do that for all my story ?

[deep bronze]

why don't you use 1 start for starting all quests at once?

[hushed flint]

idk

but this work

lmao

[alpine lynx]

What happens when you start multiple quests like that? Which one takes priority

And can you change quest in game

[hushed flint]

check that

I start 1

[alpine lynx]

hmm and can you change quest?

[hushed flint]

wait

[alpine lynx]

Or you gotta finish that one

[deep bronze]

Nothing, it's just start multiple quests.

[alpine lynx]

No understand how that possible

[hushed flint]

that okay ?

[alpine lynx]

So you can change quest yes?

[hushed flint]

yes

[alpine lynx]

In game

[hushed flint]

yeah

[alpine lynx]

Ok good ty

[alpine lynx]

What is that SetPlayer node in your story?

[deep bronze]

Fixed

Story worked, but objectives wasn't seen, Chris just changed Indicator to GoToArea instead of leaving it by default and now everything is fine.

How do I update my lvl on mod io

[hollow kraken]

WOW! 45k gold! this is a really good shrooms 🙃

[hushed flint]

[hushed flint]

can someone help me with this

[winter plaza]

mod needs to test your map first to accept it

this is gonna take a while

[hushed flint]

aciek test my map please

[elder ravine]

How long does it usually take

[winter plaza]

Well i uploaded mine on 31th and it got accepted today xD

[elder ravine]

Oh ok

I thought it'd be like 10 days

[elder ravine]

Do our maps have to be accepted by the 20th to be valid or just be uploaded to modio

[winter plaza]

but they could be accepted earlier because i think they dont accept maps during weekends lol

[elder ravine]

I mean i guess you can upload it early then update it along the way?

How hard is it to update

[winter plaza]

well you just upload it lol so it shouldnt be hard

[elder ravine]

Hello, does it have prefabs helper for double jump, regular jump to fit assets and geometry to those dimension ?

[torpid horizon]

I thought there was one

[torpid horizon]

Nice

[gilded rapids]

That’s pretty good

[craggy reef]

Been searching like crazy and i can't find how you duplicate a mesh? With the same position as the last one..

[pearl rivet]

while selecting / moving an object hold down shift and move the object slightly

it'll duplicate-- if you want to replicate the exact position as the original copy you can just copy / paste the coordinates

[ashen barn]

Those mountains. Are they meshes or actually drawn?

[ashen barn]

In the bottom pic

[winter plaza]

theyre all drawn in terrain

took a few crashes but it worked at one point xD

[hushed flint]

we have some kind of text that you can edit and put on the map for people to read ?

[winter plaza]

Oh sorry my bad I thought you meant the mountains in front of the wall not behind lol

Ye these are meshes

[ashen barn]

when i try to place loot bags they are invisible?

[elder ravine]

Anyone found out how to make barriers invisible

[latent scroll]

are you looking to make a sort of blocker ?

[elder ravine]

yeah

without having to literally put a brick wall there

otherwise whenever I load in the barriers are visible thru walls

[latent scroll]

make a dummy box with transparent mat or check aciek tuts i have seen one tut about this

I have a problem I wanna stop the upload Because I don't have do the satelite texture aaaahhh

can I delete a submit ? idk

[alpine lynx]

Just let it finish uploading

then open your map settings in mod.io -> file manager -> set old build live

[hushed flint]

so

I don't know if its this

but..

my 2 upload mod data was 1.2.0

I don't see him

okay is here

its just take time

[pearl rivet]

has anyone been able to find glass that you can see through? i've been lookin all over but haven't found anything

[sweet berry]

Man somebody need to recreate harran it could be awesome to see aiden in harran

[pliant wave]

how do i install custom maps?

[winter plaza]

You’ll need devtools in order to play them

[pliant wave]

Yeah, i have it installed now, how do you launch it? It doesnt appear in library even with tools selected on, and i tried playing it from it's store page but it booted me into regular dl2

[pearl rivet]

i had the same issue when i first installed it-- try restarting steam

[pliant wave]

i restarted it, still isn't there

[winter plaza]

make sure theres a check on the devtools in dlcs

[pearl rivet]

hmm, that's odd. all it took for me was restarting steam, then once i clicked to launch dying light 2 it gave me the option of launching the game or the dev tools

also that ^^

[winter plaza]

if theres a check try reinstalling it

[winter plaza]

its just 1gb anyway

[pliant wave]

thanks, i tried starting the game and it gave me option for dl2 or developer tools

i forgot about that

[winter plaza]

lol

[pearl rivet]

was trying to figure out how to set a player spawn and got stuck here

how do i rename the spawnpoint.prefab?

or any way to play devtools maps on geforce now

[hushed flint]

this change what ?

[wheat sentinel]

?

[hushed flint]

this change what to play with geforce now ?

[winter plaza]

i dont think that you can run devtools on geforce now because devtools is only available directly on steam and epic games

[wheat sentinel]

ye : / what about devtools maps

my pc can run dying light but its not enjoyable at all

[winter plaza]

well you can only play these maps on devtools

[wheat sentinel]

OOf

[torpid horizon]

I gave Aiden all the levels but some of them are not assigned and glider and Hook are not on max lvl
How to change it?

[latent scroll]

you can change it into default_player_setup at the "end" (preset "GIVE_ALL")

and if you want to increase inhibitors, experience, combat and traversal take look at Preset("E3_2019") in the same file as i mentioned above

Level(50, "Traversal", 1.0);
Level(50, "Combat", 1.0);
Level(50, "Experience", 1.0);
Level(50, "Inhibitors", 1.0);

[winter plaza]

how do i make humanai with behavior killable?

[torpid horizon]

multianimation

or multibehavior

something like that

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16yTlkW7l0wABXm0bNR8TUzEySAg_XryI?usp=sharing

[deep bronze]

Muttiactivity Behavior, so NPC can Get In and Out from such Behavior. Easier to find "Combat", but some NPCs can be untouchable since they are defined like that (depends on preset, not sure if its visible from attributes). Also remeber to have GenericBehaviorDissallowed on False if you want fight it.

When I play the game I have to use the upscaling to have high fps. For that the game relaunches in DX12 mode. However when I attempt to do that in the dev tools, the game never launches in DX12 mode, it just reverts to the default. Is there a way to force the dev tool game to boot up in DX12? (Not the editor, the game when playing the map)

Hey @deep bronze ! Are you around? I'm having pretty bad performance issues while play testing my map. I'm not able to do a complete build currently as everything crashes for me. Could that be the cause. Would you be down to compile and play test my map if i do an update and test how the performance is on your side?

Hello, I am trying to set up a basic quest for the playe to move to a point, however I have not found a way to reference a thing in the story editor.

Here is what I got so far:

(is there no way to post a picture in this channel?)

[dusk dagger]

you need citizen role

[fading coral]

I selected a GOTO node however how to attach something to the m_entity field? I have attempted to find nodes that reference things.

(How to delete invokes? I deleted some quests in the graph editor however each deleted quest causes an invoke error).

[deep bronze]

Manually in project folder.

[winter plaza]

what does this do when i change the value

[deep bronze]

Working for meshes, force certain LOD in DT.

[fading coral]

If a quest does not start at all, what could be the issue? It compiles without errors, it just does not start. The setup is similar to your video with the wait timer. I have set the campaign properties to link to the map that is used.

[torpid horizon]

Send screenshot

[winter plaza]

Ah ok thx

Also is there any way to reduce the render distance for some objects? Because i apparently some players experience strong fps drops when looking at a certain part of my map

[fading coral]

I can't send screenshots because of being new. Could it be that quests require some extra setup to show up outside of the story editor? I want to set up a simple quest for moving to points without npc interaction.

[torpid horizon]

[hidden cedar]

I have issue with my quest not working as well with no errors in log. I actually had it working before from start to completion with dialogues all working. Now I can't talk to the quest giver.

[deep bronze]

Do you have another Story?

Or Sequence?

[hidden cedar]

Hey Aciek, same issue and I did make a second story as I was using the first one to test. I guess I should delete the new one I made ?

[deep bronze]

No.

Just go to unused Story. File -> Campagain, and remove your map from it.

And test it.

[hidden cedar]

Fixed it! Thank you 😄

[fading coral]

I had a previous story which I deleted.

[deep bronze]

Show me DevTools\projects\TotallyNewProject\source\data\campaign_devtools.scr

Just copy text.

[hidden cedar]

So seems fine

And you don't have any objective, right? Show me story and part where it should be.

You can send it on DM.

[fading coral]

I will take screenshots

sent them in the private message.

ok to anyone else having the same issue: if your quests wont load, try to reload the entire project. Especially if you deleted a previous story.

Is it "safe" to rename quest names after creating them?

[deep bronze]

m_Name can be changed without issues (AFAIK).

Just don't change m_Quest.

[hidden cedar]

Got it, thank you 🙏

I have a "SetPlayerPreset must be deleted in release build" Message, do I need to do anything for that? Works fine when I test but I haven't tried packaging yet

[winter plaza]

why is it not safe anymore to sleep when a new side quest starts?

[deep bronze]

Are you disabling something like Sanctuary after or there's enemies nearby?

[winter plaza]

well its none of these. i also now figured out that it has something to do with the MissionCheckpoint thingy

if i place a MissionCheckpoint sleeping is no longer safe for some reason

[deep bronze]

Mission logic probably.

Because mission sets certain conditions.
