This mod is great! Lovely job! Please add feature to activate/deactivate on sandbox, so admins can spawn "Darkness" wharever they want to.

ayyy nice! looking forward to it!

There's too much B42 updates that are breaking mods right now. I took a break from developing the B42 version. But the new features will make this mod better. It will return when the full release is out.

heyooo is this mod still being worked on??

b42 plz!

please! repair this mod to work in B41 MP

Unfortunately not working in MP dedicated servers it seems

WHEN B42 WTF BRO

Looking forward to seeing this updated for B42. This was also one of my standard "must include" mods.

@soggy - It SHOULD work with B41 West Point Expansion. I've used other map expansions alongside it and they functioned just fine. Hope this helps!

hey do you know why the settings text is too big? i cant modify the settings because of it

does this support west point expansion on b41?

Looking forward for the update to this mod, one of my favorites. Really appreciate all the work you've put into this

is there a command or anything i can do to force darkness? installed this on dedicated server and have yet to have the event trigger.

waiting for the update!

Sounds good, B42's lightning/environment changes with this would be so good. My friend's don't like it, but I personally love the feeling of having to walk (or get out) of a city during the heavy fog/night. It's so immersive seeing the fading zombies on the edge of fog vision.

I think leaving the Sandbox options toggleable (or just removed) would solidify compatibility a lot, as there's a couple of mods like RZ, Definitive Zombies, etc being revamped in B42 that could easily handle all of it like the current workarounds are now for B41. (IE using Random Zombies/Day&Night while disabling this mods ZLore feature). Though the vehicle malfunctioning is a great idea.

Appreciate you still working on this Monkey

Okay no problem, thank you for your work!

B42 rewrite will take a while as I'm rewriting the scheduling code to be less buggy. Unfortunately juggling this and 4 other projects, I don't have time to post updates on discord. I will release a public test version when it's ready so just follow my workshop to stay updated.

Hi, discord link is expired, can we get another one? I would love to beta test this mod

Oh, NVM all good! Said mod takes a while to apply the update. A short while after entering Darkness the console popped up with RZN&D's mod info about changing the applied preset and it worked. SO GOOD - it fixes the problem with this mods Zombie Lore not working with MP.

THAT SAID - when I rejoined the server mid-Darkness event, it loaded the Darkness back correctly, but the fog didn't come back, with an error "Missing texture: media/textures/weather/fogwhite.png. Which is weird, I don't recall changing anything since yesterday that even comes close to that...

Hey @Monkey, is this fog generated by the mod a special type of fog and not vanilla fog?

I have Random Zombies Night And Day And Special Events patch, with SE options set to FOG above 70% = changing zombie behaviour. But it's not changing the zombies to sprinters when in fog during The Darkness. I look in the console, and see it says adding modded fog

pls update

pls upd for b42

Add new discord link please. Would love to betatest b42 version

pls updating mod for b42 you mod is phenomenal

Is it working with the mod Sun Sensitive Zombies ? (changing zombies from walker into runner when it's the night)

I'm gonna try this mod with a super low zombie population with sprinters only. Make it 28 Days Laterish

It supposed to constantly have the alarm going after the Fog?

can you post another link to your discord server? the one below is expired

@Monkey seems the link to the discord expired. Any chance you can repost it please? Also thanks for the great mod, can't wait to play it again! <3

Broken mod. Co-Op doesn't work.

please update for b42. i am a crippling silent hill fan.

updating mod pls for b42 you mod is great and exelent for terror and suspensed

@Akira it should be but make backup of the save. Mod was initially designed for SP and MP is unstable.

Is it possible to install this mod midgame on a dedicated server?

@Pantstain Stupid comment. You don't have to join. No need to moan about it.

There's no good way to post updates on Steam of ongoing development and test branches. Any people that will join, can help with SP & MP testing and that would be much appreciated.

the last thing ppl want is yet ANOTHER discord server to join

Join the discord for updates on The Darkness Is Coming and also to follow any announcements regarding new and updated mods!

https://discord.gg/9GAjRrNq

Notify me when It is compatible with B42, please.

need b42!

Bro update pls on 42 build pls

no worries monkey! when you have time !

Is there any chance that in the future the mod will work correctly in multiplayer via the “host” button?

Apologies, I simply don't have the free time to do this right for free right now. I am juggling 3 other projects that net me some money - non PZ related. I just had some free time and ported some of the most popular mods to B42 already.

Monkey your killing me =( ....okay then

Indeed. Took a look at the lighting features they introduce and it seems like they really simplified the way global illumination is handled. Should make this mod much simpler and less buggy. However I don’t want to commit to a rewrite release until after B42 is in stable.

B42 is out my friend!

I cannot install this mod, the server I got this error while starting the server and cannot find any sandbox options,:

I verified and the mokey´s lib is installed properly.
YES the 2858019558 id is listed in the workshop Items list.

I would like to make it so that sleeping is disabled during darkness events but the sleep debuff doesn't move past the second stage. Is that possible?
