Like the "I have to play in survival, I can't play in sandbox that's not how the games meant to be played. Please make survival easier." threads all over again . . . 

There's a huge difference between "This game's too hard, make it easier" and "Oh, just a black screen... huh, is the game running?"

 

Quote

We can't control your monitor in any way or tell how it'll behave with the game. 

Yes you can, it's called a gamma setting, and no you can't, which is why it should be in PZ.

 

Quote

Now, I can't know your situation. So here's mine: I've had a visual impairment all my life. I have light sensitivity due to a lack of pigment in the back of my eyes.  I'm sitting not a foot and a half from a 38" ultra-widescreen ISP monitor at full blast. 

I sympathize with you. As I've gotten older it's become more difficult to sit at the monitor and get stuff done. Some days the screen is fine, others it's way too dark. I'd think you, of all people, would want to have something in the game so you wouldn't have to adjust your monitors all the time. For me, I set my desktop brightness based on my work apps (development, browsing, etc.) and then fine tune each game as needed with the gamma setting.

 

I'm not trying to step in the middle of a firefight here and take a bullet for one side or the other. I just want to be able to play my game with the brightness set at how it was before the weather update, without having to monkey with my monitor every time I want to fire up PZ.  I will simply stop playing if I can't figure out a work around - it's too dark at night, lights don't provide enough brightness, and the CatEyes perk seems worthless.

There is a bit of a  difference between "blinds" and "kind of ugly" though.  We've only heard one of the the former and half a dozen of the latter. It's been some months into testing.

Have you tried changing the night brightness in Sandbox? Nights are supposed to be darker in the default game and, as Will says, they'll be much worse with shaders off (something we really can't recommend at this point).
 

It won't affect the darkness of standing under a particularly black cloud, but those do go away after the storm begins to fade.

Its not even that dark have you ever tried pitch black?

Nope... sure haven't...  So, we have all probably seen this real hurricane footage coming in live in the last weeks... Judging by much of the un-lit video taken outside, in the daytime, it appears that people would have a decent 20-50+y visibility in the worst kind of rain in the DAY time...  Because that big fireball in the sky doesn't care how thick clouds are... it still manages to illuminate to a degree higher than near pitch black...

The first non-average rain you get is dialled up to eleven atm, and goes on for too long, which probably isn't helping matters. Turbo's gonna have a poke.

 

That actually explains it all very well... THANKS!!  *phew*   the other survivors were about to kick me out for peeing on the floor every time it got too dark to see the rim... But that's okay, because when it rained for that long, my guy just wanted to off himself anyways...

Also, just to check, are any of the people who are finding it too dark playing with Shaders turned to 'Off'?

 

My shaders are also set to "ON"

 

 

Thanks for the rapid response answers!

It won't a ffect the darkness of standing under a particularly black cloud, but those do go away after the storm begins to fade.

So I've got "Darkness During Night: Normal" - I'll try setting it to "Bright." Is there a way to change it for an existing game?

 

Thanks for the heads up on the setting

I think you should be able to, yes. Copy over your sandbox file to the new save. It's in %UserProfile%\zomboid\sandbox\YourSaveFileHere

It's called map_sand.bin.


I do not think there's a separate one for climate at this time, so it should just work.

I tried both "Bright" and "Pitch Black" to get a comparison of extremes with my reference screenshot. Both seemed to change the view to some degree, but putting it to bright didn't get me back to where I was hoping.

 

I'm wondering now if it's more to do with how much light is put out from the light sources than the darkness itself...

 

At any rate, thanks for the tips!

Would you mind sharing some screenshots of what you're looking at in each instance? To be sure we're all in the same place?

cars now seem to attract more z's than ever before - almost the same as firing a gun.

i enabled cheats - repaired car - changed muffler to best/quietest one. started engine they came for ages.

no complaint it just feels different from before.

also this was a custom scenario and i had set cars attraction to 0.8 - so they were quieter than the default value 1.

I can provide at least 4 others who have expressed it as 'blinding' or similar terms. Yes, not a huge number I'm the grand scheme of things, but your numbers there are very skewed. 

 

I may be exaggerating when I say 'blinding', but that would still put me in the 'kind of ugly' camp. But even then, to those who have spoken out about it, 'kind of ugly' is a gross understatement and a misrepresentation of their opinion on the effect.

I'd really recommend that you stop pushing on this and leave it to us, now that you've made your opinion clear.  It's been heard, we'll act on what we consider actionable and pragmatic in our own time. Repeating it will not change what I've already said.

 

Anyone else that'd like to discuss it can make their own posts on it.

I appreciate that you will continue to act on it where you can (as you know - I've already stated to you in private, along with the amount of love and respect I have for TIS and the development process).

 

I'm not trying to push anything along at this point. I fully understand that TIS will do what they can, when they can, to make any necessary adjustments. I am a patient person and understand some of the processes involved (as I'm a developer myself), which is more than can be said for much of the community. 

 

In my last post, I was simply correcting you on your misrepresentation / downplaying of the "issue" that we have been talking about. Unfortunately, it's not as "small" as you would like to believe.

There is no need for me to repeat my opinion, as I know you've heard it multiple times already.

 

This is where I'll stop also. I don't wish to distract from development or cause any rift in the community or relationships I have with members of it, including yourself. 

 

Thanks for your time, and sorry for the hassles.

IWBUMS VERSION 40.21 RELEASED!

 

Internal testers have also flagged a few issues that *might* be an issue on Linux and Mac, so if you’re on those platforms and the new IWBUMS beta isn’t behaving then please let us know.

 

NEW

  • Skybox generation for vehicle reflective windows. This takes into account: the time of day, the Global illumination color, fog, cloudiness, precipitation intensity, wind direction, wind speed and the temperature of the ambient air (as in winter the clouds are lower than the ground)
  • Added more natural looking snow on the ground:
  • Added more checks to online usernames. They now must be three characters long, and not contain any of the following character: ; . ' ? \
  • Added new server option AllowNonAsciiUsername (default false). This can be set to true to allow the use of non-ascii characters in the username, such as the Cyrillic alphabet etc..)
  • Game now checks username in lowercase when accessing the database. So if your name is BLARG, but you type BLaRG you will still join.
  • Added clear console command for client and server
  • Commands can now be temporaly disabled with DisabledCommand annotation. Disabled connections, grantadmin, removeadmin, servermessage and thunder commands. Help also disabled for these commands by annotation
  • Added debug menus for weather, climate, bodydamage and stats - which can be opened with shift-backspace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6KdrMqzHrE&feature=youtu.be&t=14
  • Added more climate modding options
  • Weather now affect chance of starting the car (specially on low quality engine, the colder, the harder is to start).
  • Added more filters to characters used in player usernames (, / @ $)

FIXES

  • Fixed not being able to create new username.
  • Fixed removed unused import and leftover debug lines.
  • Fixed new players not being able to join server.
  • Fixed unnecassary 'ban steam id' when banuser is preferable
  • Fixed Coordinates parameter being used with 'add vehicle' command
  • Fixed wrong calcul in Nutritions values (it'll be now easier to gain more weight if eating high carbs or lipids food)
  • Fixed "Survived For" showing on the character screen if the player doesn't have a watch.
  • Fixed weight display from being a float to being an int (no more 80.14 but only 80.)
  • Fixed outside temperature from showing on vehicle dashboards. This became confusing when we also had the UI temperature showing.
  • Fixed server message command.
  • Fixed additem command. -u flag removed.
  • Fixed 'add vehicle' command not giving a vehicle to a player who hadn't included their name.
  • Fixed Banuser command
  • Fixed output from help command not being alphabetical
  • Fixed players not being able to execute commands if they have the correct rights.
  • Fixed wrong calcul in startEngine process.
  • Fixed multiple VehicleFailingToStart sounds playing.
  • Fixed DebugChunkState not rendering weather effects.
  • Fixed scaling of lines when zooming indoors.
  • Fixed some map issues: A house had a grass floor, a trailer had a TV on the same square as a kitchen counter, a building had no light switches in two upper floor rooms.
  • Fixed doors/radios/tvs/windows sometimes having different states on clients and the server.
  • Fixed ReleaseSafehouse command
  • Fixed and refactored Grant Admin and Remove Admin commands 
  • Fixed incorrect trunk size of vans with seats.
  • Fixed wrong calcul in chance of uninstalling part resulting in sometimes damaging the part where it should be impossible.
  • Fixed some ingredients left at -1 hunger reduction when adding them to a recipe.

Nice!

 

Clicking on the "Details" button brings up two version options at the top (39.67.5, 39.67.3) and the default text being displayed looks like it's the change list for one of those versions, not the IWBUMS version here.

 

I'm assuming it's just a change log file that didn't get updated with the patch, but it'll probably cause some confusion on the part of users...

Since build 40 I think, I have started to see all cars painted black (before build 40, cars always looked normal to me). I've an Intel HD 3000 on a Thinkpad x220 with an i5-2520m and 16gb of ram, and I'm running a Debian-based linux system (MX Linux 17), on kernel 4.15.

Since last patch my character keeps getting fatter. 76kg to 82kg in 2 days and i wasn't even making him eat a lot of calories. There is double red arrow pointing upwards next to weight. It used to be one red arrow.

 

Edit: Now i have 2 red arrows pointing up and 1 green arrow pointing down overlapping each other.

Can someone help with the "wrong password" error I am still experiencing?

 

I have updated my version using:  +app_update 380870 -beta latest_experimental validate

 

If I don't replace the two UdpEngine.* files mentioned previously in this thread, the server will start normally but no one can join. This is the known issue.

 

When I replace both files, I get this error:

There's no latest_experimental branch. It's called iwillbackupmysave

So, I'd assume part of the problem is that you seem to have a mix of both files from build 39 and the IWBUMS build.

I started getting this "failed to open for writing" error with update 40.21,  the game was having split second "hiccups" and that's how I noticed. I'm only using necroforge but it still happens without mods and in old and fresh saves alike. I didn't get it while hosting a test server, so I assume It's sp related.
