I'm not a legend, but I'm really glad you liked the mod. Thanks for the feedback

You're a legend. Love your map.

Hi, yes, these are common issues after an update. This is mentioned in point 1 of the mod description. The mod was updated, and the new files simply overlaid the old ones. There are several solutions to get rid of the bugs. The fastest is to reinstall the mod (sometimes you need to do this manually; see the Bugs discussion for more details). However, Quentin has a new solution for servers; see the duplicate maps thread in the mod discussions.

Hi! I had a modded server that included this map before the update, and yesterday, upon heading back to Raven Creek, every time I entered the military tents and tunnels, the roofs/ceilings wouldn't disappear when I was under them. Wondering if anyone else has had this problem before.

Hi all

Ghost - I can't give permission to anyone, especially on the mod's official page. If you look, most major mods have disabled comments and don't allow copying of their mods. This is done to avoid a large number of potential problems that you're unlikely to be aware of.

However, there are many other solutions.

1. Quentin's server fix in the discussions
2. Reinstall the mod
3. If you really need an older version, find it on Google or in alternative sources

Well Fk there goes my will to play after hundreds of hours gone ):

Hey DavidBlane. I still have the pre-update version, would you be okay with me reuploading it? It could help a lot of server owners (myself included)

Good job, Quentin. I'm sure you'll help a lot of people

I found the fix for my server @Everyone!
Shut down the server, then go into "user/Zomboid/Save/Multiplayer/(servername).
The number of the cell resembles the datachunk file name, in every cell there is 30x30 tiles.
I calculated and came to the conclusion that you have to delete the map_xxx_xxxx.bin files that relate to these chunks.

I deleted:
"map_240_1190.bin" all the way to -> "map_510_1129.bin"
Then I restarted the server and there is no visible issue that I've stumbled upon so far, no overlapping what so ever.

You will lose everything that is located in Raven Creek, like your safehouse and the population will respawn. But finally it is playable again.

I hope this is of help to all of you.
Much love fellow survivors! ^^ <3

I'm doing dedicated for me and friend, could you help me rewrite the map? I need old map_XXX_YYY.bin that you were using (if you have those)

Yes, I remember. I have a couple of questions about the mod, I'll send you a private message

Ah, fair nuff.
It be like that...

Am also eager to hear your feedback on that mod I mentioned.
See uhh, STFR's first modded map support was RavenCreek, and the RavenCreek addon came out over 3 years ago.
Heavily based it off of 1980s NYPD. Because RavenCreek gives off those vibes.
Over time, as the main STFR mod expanded and grew. The addons got cool things like fire, ambulance, prison content wherever needed.
So the prison stuff in STFR RavenCreek is based off of Riker's Island in NYC.

But yeah. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

Becerra9, Jack Rossman - Thank you for such detailed feedback; it's always interesting to read things like this. Glad you like it.

Jack Rossman - I liked that police station too, but I remember there was some reason why it had to be removed.

Can confirm the new update is awesome. The overhauled areas, like the prison, are really neat.
Only real complaint is the removal of that Police Station. But that's because it was my absolute favorite base spot. Lol.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

Heck YEAH, I cannot tell you how much this map made me addicted to PZ. Pz in itself is a fantastic game with an awesome setting but I LOVE the crowded downtown zombie environment. I wouldnt be surprised if a majority of the hours I played this game were on this map lol
Thank you very very much for the hard work, you're doing fantastic work

Wolfaboyo - Thanks for your feedback, there are no problems with anyone, everything is fine, don't worry

hawk2274vision - You described yourself perfectly, but not me. You need to talk less and do more to achieve something in life, and I'm not talking about games. Otherwise, you will always be in the position of a victim where everyone around you is to blame for something. Start by stopping lying. You still haven't shown where I wrote about refusing updates.

Gimmidacash - Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you liked it

Thank you for giving us a fresh breath with an update, I hope the negativity from some people doesn't affect you too much! So far I think it's great despite having to start over, I think part of zomboid is about starting over anyway.

I might have had a moments frustration, but all the fun I've had in Raven creek more than makes up for it. I'm looking forward to many more hours.
Thank you for your effort.

Damn yall, this maker really is a unlikeable snarky cunt

Quentin - It only shows me chunkdata BIN files, 100 of them, starting from 8_37 to 17_46.
Another BIN file is worldmap.xml. These are the only BIN files in the mod.

The map takes up the same space but has expanded further into the corner on both sides. I'll update the latest screenshot with the location now.

Unfortunately, I haven't created a server, so I can't give you more detailed instructions.

@DavidBlane - Is the old version based on "map_xx.yy.bin" or has it always been "chunkdata_xx_yy.bin"?
The duplicates are from the old version of the map, it is like it was just pushed 2 cells further east.
In the new version I tried driving in a neighborhood on the east side of Raven Creek when all of a sudden the road stops and there is water. ,xD
Trying my best to figure out what I should keep or not, I'll give feedback as soon as I have that information.

ASINSINA - Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it

@davidblane thanks for this update

Bikini Horst's Chunklist tool might help you here @quentin

Quentin - If you deleted all versions and reinstalled the mod, where did the duplicates come from? As for the coordinates, go to the mod discussion and there is a dedicated thread with the coordinates of the old and new versions (you need the second one). If you have any questions during the process, I'll be here.

I'm still having the duplication in my server, now I'm trying to figure out which "map_xxx_xxxx.bin" (x = digits) that related to the world map of Raven Creek.
My thought is to delete these and try reloading the server.
Maybe this will load a fresh non-duplicated Raven Creek?
All that I need is the exact set of bin files, ChatGPT gave me some but I can't find those in the "Zomboid/saves/multiplayer".

Hi all

Gab - Thank you and others like you for your support. Grateful people are the only reason the mod is updated.

hawk2274vision - Where did you get the idea that I'm blaming anyone? That's a weak position. I'm just pointing out causes and consequences. If there's a sign on the fence that says “Do not enter, lions behind the fence,” and you still go there without any protection, that's not the lions' problem. As for me saying I won't update anymore, show me that, I don't remember.

Map author really out here blaming people for believing him when he said this map wasn't gonna be updated, actually wild

All the troubles of starting over aside... Thank you very much for the update! I appreciate the work you put into this so long after the initial release.

Who_Dat? - I'll add this to the instructions

@DavidBlane oh my bad David, I didn't know I have to make a new game so that the coordinates would be fixed

Yes for those who like me owns server plesase find 3587059753 it will fix problem.
If u want to start new map take updated version.

Server owners, do not forget to uploaded latest map files to media/maps, that should fix your in-game map issues.

Dont get me wrong, update for sure is great, but costs a lot of work to fix server.

The link to the website where you can get additional information about the map has been updated and is located at the end of the mod description.

Ссылка на сайт, где можно получить дополнительную информацию по карте, обновлена, и находится в конце описания мода.

Alrighty. Sounds like a plan.

Jerry The Terroris - thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it

hi Jack, the in-game map is fully updated, I just checked. If there are any bugs, try uninstalling the old version and reinstalling the mod. I'll check everything else later, but first I'll deal with the update. Thanks for the feedback

I have personally noticed that the in-game map isn't updated for some changes in the newest RavenCreek. The new chunks of highway are there, but the swamp area seems to have a bunch of red shapes.

I also updated the STFR stuff a few hours ago. Would be worth updating those if you're checking them out...
I really want your feedback on that. :3

Btw, thoughts on a RavenCreek international airport?

WINDYY, Valindrae, Luna The Dummy-If for some reason you need an older version, I don't have any. I only work with the official version on Steam. There are other versions, though; you can find them if you Google them, but you'd better hurry, because they'll update them as soon as they know.

IHaveAIDS- If you haven't been around RС, you don't need to do anything. However, there's a high chance that Steam or the game isn't updating correctly (and that's beyond my control). In that case, you'll have to uninstall the old version and reinstall the mod, that's all. The Bugs discussion explains how to do this. It will take 5 minutes.

Who_Dat?- Now that's interesting. Did you start a new game after following the instructions?

Hi all

Luna The Dummy - There are a number of reasons why I'm not warning about the update. In any case, the mod description states that updating requires a new game. You accepted this agreement when you signed up, so why you don't have backups is really a question for you. No offense, mate. You can download older versions from alternative sources on Google if you really need them.


UburGeek, Blightspreader - Now I'll make a separate discussion with the coordinates of the old and new versions.Take a look there.

Hey I have a question regarding the latest update. Since lots of other people are saying it breaks existing saves, im wondering if my save will still be broken if ive never stepped foot anywhere near the old raven creek map before. Will I still need to restart?

Can someone tell me if I can find an older version of the mod somewhere? Just before the last update? The Update broke my server completely :/

Anyone have new coordinates for the update? I heard there was a movement with the map bounds.

The new update is really good, Raven Creek looks better than ever. So many interiors that were unrealistic have been updated and it's a welcome change. I love the new rooftop decor and overall it's breathed new life into the city I spend most of my run in.

It's a shame so many servers were broken by this update, and I think you could've handled this better than just reminding everyone they need to restart when you update it. Have some compassion man!

Anyway, awesome work for the best city in PZ, thanks for the update. Best of luck navigating the minefield that is Steam comments lol

I did the instructions regarding the after update "bug(s)", however the coordination of the map unusually relocated as per my world map visual. The place is there but it's not aligned with the map visually, am I the only one who's experiencing this? Moreover, when I tried to get to RavenCreek some assets won't load or load properly.

Why i keep spawning in forest?no raven creek at all

Bro one day I went out and server with raven creek got f..... damn... Author please share old files cuz we need to fix

Does anyone have all the map_xxx_xxx.bin files that have to be deleted for this update so we can at least reset the broken chunks?
