hello all...sorry for my delayed reply...i have actually lost my data on my old hard drive and was unable to recover it. As stated above my computer crashed.

I should have some time this week to re-download my last update, and I will fly through my todo list fixes that we lost. I will post a update asap...by next weekend?

thank you for being patient.

Anna,
That evil sound was just a sound effect I added at night..to do just that, freak you out a little bit. Was more just a joke to my regular players...It is removed in the next update. Everytime I heard it I got goosebumps too

Thank you for your feed back, glad your liking the game. We will add some more simple recipes yes, asap.

JJ,

I know it was just a mere setback in the long run. And yeah, I am lucky
because I don't have to go goosebump every time I plsy because I sleep
every night before 12 every day in game!
And anna, I have to say that I love survival game but not survival
horror game you know. Slender creeps me out every time I play it... The
sound of our foot step is the only thing we hear, and we know that 2
things was in the area, one human and other are unhuman. LOL, Quite
funny that my hands and foot goes Ice-cold every time even when I turn the scary sound off and play my favourite music! Haha! I'm such a coward!

Oooh, so that's what it was! Haha, you did succeed in freaking me out! . In the beginning of the game I had huge problems with my health, so I thought that the sound was indicating that I had lost health during the night. That may be an idea? I think the sound is a nice add-on, since it must be scary to be alone on a dangerous island :).

And thank you for listening and answering! It's nice to be heard. But I'm very sorry about the data loss. It's always so frustrating! I'm impressed by how cool you seem to take it.

@user Firefly:
I hate survival horror, too! I've only seen people play Slender, but even then I'm scared, haha! But I don't think you're a coward, compared to me . I mean, you even dare to start the game!
Oh and I've heard that evil sound even if I'm going to sleep before 12. Then it appears as soon as I wake up.

Yeah,

I guess I am not much of a coward. At least it isn't scary compare to Amnesia the dark decent I haven't played it yet but you could play it first if you like! But let's try not to get off the
current topic shall we? Now as I don't have much time to play I might
not heard it... And Jj, I always hate data loss I already changed my
computer once! Guess how old it was? Since I was four! The museum pays
high price for it but I don't sell it! LOL

hey JJ,

I was wondering whether it would be possible to assimilate some of the graphics and models from MOD Titanium and Tangler's?

Tit's has great vegetation and landscape.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUXP28VKMOU

However, I tried to play it and (a) I couldn;t figure out how to get that vegetation, and (b) the game lags and crashes every other second.

Nonetheless, you might wanna take a pick at the script and borrow some stuff. Also, the game has a couple of features that I really like: (a) speed is contingent on "stamina"/rucksack weight, which is great; (b) the sun/moon procession; (c) map creator has more options; and new units or modified ones, i.e. sheep, lion, etc.

And Tangler's has a bunch of animals that SIIMMS lacks, the graphics are not that great, but it has chickens, cows, dogs, sea lions, etc. I am not sure whether it can be downloaded, did not get that far, I just watched the YouTube video.

Maybe you want to get in touch with those modders and borrow some of their stuff.

You see JJ, this is why I suggested moving Distiller to the production menu, like a tent.

distiller = 2 bendable + 5 branches + 5 lianas + 5 leaves + 2 skins + 1 log + knife + strawberry ice-cream

Mctrump, I am sure you can access the info through the crafting/operations/diary. If not, just print the guide, which is included in the game download.

Howdy guys.

Ive been reading this thread for a few days after downloading this fantastic mod, really enjoying the game, and the survivalist mod is a fantastic mod of the original MM so cudo, s to youguys for putting so much hard work into this game....

But I need a little advice if you please...:D ive only been playing this game a few days so im still picking my way through all the ins and outs...

Where im having issues is fishing.... now with the original game I understand that you need to fish where the bubbles are or you wont catch fish correct? Well in the survivalist mod I dont see bubbles? And im afraid to say im having big problems catching and are basicly starving to death out here lol...

So is there any new rules to fishing in this mod? All I keep dojng is catching nothing but bottles and more bendy branches and the odd star fish I caught 2fish in a week and got through about 7 rods :O, now ive heard that fishing is the best way to stock your food early on but i just carnt catch anything lol.... iv tried aiming for the fish shodows but 90% are the big shadows andmy rod just breaks and there are verry few small fish shadows.... please help! IM HUNGRY LOL..... thx in advance for any help or advice....

I am not sure, that is a question I have myself. But the in-game skill level description should give you an idea. I can tell you tho that you can fish were you see none, especially if your skill is high. But, in my experience, and it might be just perception, I do tend to catch more where I can see them swimming around (anyways that is how it should be I think).

Have you been using hooks and bait? If not, then YOU MUST. And once you can upgrade to Fly rod, do so, and GET lures.

IF, it does matter somewhat whether there is fish in the area (as I believe is the case), I suggest building a raft and exploring the edges of the map, I often find school of fish that you can't see from the shoreline.

Same here... Usually I think it's a random chance and I also caught more
fish in "fishy" area, that is where you see fish swiming. build bow nets also helps but it also breaks. Tough luck, if you can't get fish quickly.

Thx for the reply guys.. glads its not just me lol....

I do beleive from my limited exp that you do have better chances of catching where you see fish shadows, I do know I have NOT caught any FISH IN now fishy areas.... but I have caught starfish and clams...

And yes I have used hooks 90% of the time using calved bone as thats generally pretty easy to come by... and about 50% of the time used bait in the form of insect parts... but my rod is very basic and obviously my skill is low...

One thing I have noticed (or I have convinced myself of) you usually get say 2 big shadows and a little one. So you cast into the middle of said shadows and if you watch it actually looks like say the little fish is actualy attracted to where you casted, I.e your bait/hook.

the few fish I have caught I have to say it actualy looks like said fish shadow visually went for my hook/bait, but only jj and the other guys working on this mod will be able to answer this guess....

I do remember reading somewhere in this post (sure it was this post) I think jj said that fish are the same as any other animal....

So for example. There are 10 monkeys on the island and you kill 5 monkeys, those 5 will come out of the monkey population pool (10) leaving you with 5 left in the pool untill more respawn... from what I understand the same goes for fish, now this leads me to beleive when fishing the fish are actual animals running/swimming about just like say a monkey on land just under water, the only difference being there is a water skin animation covering the fish that WE see obscuring the fish....

So what im saying is it looks like this.... say it was possible to catch monkeys with a fishing rod for a second. You would not catch a monkey if you cast into an area that had no monkeys close by, you would need to cast close to the monkey in order to catch it..... if that makes any sence lol.... so I beleive fish are exactly the same....

The larger fish shadows I beleive represent say the rainbow trout that are only catchable with the fly rod if I understand correctly, this would also explain the increase in the chances or catching a fish with the better rods....

So it looks li, e the fish are actualy a physical animal like a monkey and its not just a mathematical equation if you catch or not...

JJ can we get some clarification on the case of the fishes pls lol

Chears guys

hey guys...sorry for my delay in getting the next update out. I have been really busy at home and have had little time to get the lost work done. I will see about getting a quick fix to the crops and the bucket this weekend...then ill need some more time to add the other things on my todo list on page 1.

Quote
qizzmo,
thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoying the game.
The fish are hard to catch at first and you do up your chances some using bait and hooks. You can catch fish anywhere in the sea but you have a higher chance when you can actually SEE the fish...this is because you can catch any fish in a 2500 radius. SO THERE IS NOT BUBBLE INDICATORS, the whole sea is "fishable".

and yes...when you catch a fish it come out of the pool of total fish in the sea. At the same time there is a spawn ratio too that replenishes the fish over time. If you over fish and area you should move to an area that you see fish in when you swim under water or by shadows.

Once you gain a couple levels catching fish become easier as you go up. You would the same catch less junk too.

Aedolaws,
sorry i have not had time to keep up this past couple weeks, I have played titanium and yes the graphics are nice. I just didnt want to take someone elses stuff but improve what we had. but ill give it some thought. The animals I been thinking about how many animals is enough before it is just way to easy to get meat and survive...maybe keeping them low population and more of a variety would be good...i been looking for a good wolf thats animated for another hostile animal...and i might be able to make a alligator but animation is very hard for me and i will consider these after i play catch-up and get all my lost data fixes and such back up to par.


Please be patient folks...we have come a long way since i picked up this mod project. This bit of time away is probably what i needed as i have been ruthlessly working on this thing for months nonstop...and seems almost fate that i lost my hardrive as i was so obsessive compulsive and it shows when reading the change log for the last several months posted on page 1...I will return shortly to resume some serious advances so we can get to the end game scenarios spoken of back in this thread.

P.S. I also want to make one last attempt at saving my lost data...i have read if i buy the exact hardrive and tear it apart, i can tear apart my old one and swap the disk inside and then i could hook it up to my new computer as a slave drive and retrieve the data. Mainly because I had all my modeling programs and all my data, and all my tools which i do not have right now. Ok, sorry for the long post.

That's
okay, JJ. and of course good luck in retrieving the lost data. It is
such a pain to start from scratch. And I like reading, so long reply is
ok, that is I always see you don't post short reply either, as I think you wanna cover all of what is asked in one post so that way saves space and time. I really like your idea of adding more animals. Good luck!

Hi, there! I've been playing the mod for a few months now before all of these cool updates came out. I just downloaded the latest update and I love it! The graphics are great and the added recipes and new stuff to do is really fun. I was wondering, though, if it was normal that I've been on the island for almost 30 days and no plants have produced anything... No berries, no bananas, no coconuts, nothing. I'm really sorry if this has already been answered. Thanks in advance!

firefly,
ty man...for understanding.

tami,
no that would not be normal...with the updates, consider that there is only 1 berry bush, 1 banana tree, 1 coconut tree...1 of each on the island at the start. You may have to go searching for the 1 fruit bearing tree and bush until you can cultivate your own. Meaning they are probably 1 of each full of fruit on the island right now.

if your talking about plantings...there is currently a bug where plants will only grow if your awake at midnight...this was to be fixed in the update that was recently lost due to my own stupidity of not backing up my latest work.

If you actually see a fruit bearing tree or bush and you no its location and it has not spawned fruit for 30 days then yes, that is not right and something is amiss. Nobody else has reported this nor was it happening in my own testing...if you copied a "save" over from the old version...then this would be the only cause i can think of.

Thanks for your feedback, glad you like this version.

Well JJ dont worry about the easiness, if there are too much species just make them unique for a specific type of island, which will come in even more handy when we get to the end game part. (with the "I feel like eating crocodile meat right now" alert you will have to leave your current island to find a crocodile. LOL, I'm dreaming)
By the way if you don't want to steal other people stuff I suggest you to look at the way he fill his island with plants. I love it. Really love it.
And yeah, you are the most responsible and active mod maker I have ever seen, so if I have to wait for months, so be it. I won't complaint.
Just saying.

here, no free lunch. nothin' come easy or as expected. I can wait for a year as I'm a professional "waiter" that I waited 3 years for gta halo mod and nothin' came out for download and I still waiting! Also apply to
mount&blade warband light & darkness heroes of calradia. Now I'm playing minecraft for free because my country doesn't have much compatible credit card format yet... And I always understand a modder's feelings. Gta halo modder ex teammate gave his file to me too... That is no one downloaded it yet... and yeah you don't make it look exactly
like titanium, just make it look like 'em. but applying this may cause
the file size to go up and lags in game. but risks must be taken. to not
risk is to play it safe, to play it safe is to not accomplish anything
and that make life is nothin'. STILL SUPPORT AND LIKE THE IDEAS! Just take your time JJ.
