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?

Welp, there goes our server. Gonna take a wipe and lots of admin BS to get us back to where we were. At least give a heads up next time mate. Many others are more considerate of the things that can break cuz we don't have any backups to work with

I need to go now, I'll be back later. Thanks everyone for the messages, support, and suggestions. If you're having problems, check out the Bugs discussion or the mod comments after the update; that should help. If not, I'll help when I get back.

Everything is written in the description, in point 1, thank you for your understanding

My server has been bricked because of this essentially. when you update a 5 year old map please. tell people that your doing it. thanks

Yes, Kenneth, it's just like when the developers add something to the map, you have to start a new game anyway. It's the same system.

Im guessing reinstalling will also delete anything built previously?

hi all
Quentin, delete all folders with RC and reinstall mod
RUNIN, right now i dont have message with any bugs expept from people who dont start new game or reinstall mod. Steam or the game itself, instead of a normal update with the deletion of the previous folder, simply throws new files on top, this causes errors and this is not something I can influence and has always been, as I warned about in the first point in the description of the mod.

So if you have any problems, just uninstall the old versions (sometimes you have to do it manually; I wrote about this in the bug discussions) and reinstall the mod. This will solve 99% of the bugs, usually after an update.

@kennet0508
Seems I did have backups but nothing that was of value since the coordinates have been shuffled completely. ,xD

thank you very much for listening to your community. The update is appreciated but not the bugs. When you can fix it, it will surely be another hit as your main mod

@quentin
i hope you have backups, theres probably a fix, but unlikely if you dont have a save prior to the update.

@DavidBlane
Lovely to see that this mod is healthy and well, Its been a long while since i tried it, cant wait to see whats new when i do again!
