RPG Difficulty

when i turn the whitelist on it just makes it so i cant take damage or no creatures deal damage

Not sure why this is being thrown but 

Hello! 

Loot multyper doesnt works

thanks for the update!

jup this mod needs an update to work for the latest version!

I experience the same as FoxLGV . it doesnt seems to be working. Enemies dont seems to get stronger regardless of how far from spawn i am. 

i have same issue as FoxLGV it seems like is not working on my game, same with RPG Overlay mod, looks like is not working on the 1.21.0 (Stable)

How would I go about testing if this is working? Trying it on a server setup and I see no difference in monster damage or durability based on distance.
Is it not plug and play with the default config?

thank you (now that you also fixed the berrybush loot drop when destroying them / sticks I can have both again. I haven't tested it ingame yet but we'd see)

20.6.2025 15:49:06 [Error] [rpgdifficulty] An exception was thrown when trying to start the mod:

not sure is level up now required? I had level up installed but it increased the mushroom harvest by 64x same with sticks so i removed it. I guess adding it and then removing it makes rpg difficulty search for it. I also deleted the cache of the rpg difficulty well for now i added back level up and just made most stuff false

"Adding lower values to the stats increase every... can cause performance problems in high numbers of status on low end cpus, this calculations is made every time a entity creature spawn in the world."

This happens because in the code you use a loop to repeatedly subtract that value from another, instead of flooring a division, which would be a lot more efficient and would not require a loop.

@BoboDev Thank you so much for fixing our bug! We'll be installing it soon and I'll let you know if we have any problems :)!

Clamatt My bad, i finally can simulate this to fix

Clamatt I think you missed something in the configurations or have some other mod breaking the rpg difficulty, i have tested using the default configs and vanilla and works pretty well

Really strange bug that we're having on our 1.20.1 server..

It seems that near our base at 0,140,0 as well as any animals around the base seem to have no loot on them at all? We're killing bears and Moose and they drop literally not a single item. After uninstalling the mod the animals dropped the stuff as they should.

It's also worth noting some of the animals, such as a Fox spawned with 0/0 HP making them one shot, and then still dropped nothing.

We really want to use this mod, but it's ruining the experience for us for what seems like a bug, any help would be great! :)

Lehm Sorry, you probably downloaded the 1.1.2 version that multiply the entity status when relogging, you will need to delete this entity manually

I had a like 4 wolf with like 20k+ health the other one is even at 64k health. i tried to remove the mod for a bit bit didn't change the wolf so I'm kinda scared lmao

they kinda close to my base 

Thank you very much! I'll go pop this bug on their page then. Also bless you for telling me how to disable! You're a star.

Quiche You can disable the logs in base.json in the RPGDifficulty configuration, the crash you are receiving is from the mod Attributer is not related to the RPGDifficulty

Experiencing this crash for one of my players in my server.

Brilliant mod, absolutely love the challenge it gives venturing out great distances for my players. I do have a teensy issue with getting a lot of console log spam however:

Makes it difficult to catch when errors or crashes happen on my multiplayer server. Thank you!

SoulReaperz This is very strange, because rpgdifficulty is compatible with levelup, the only reason that i think is some versions inconsistence, you are using a levelup version that is not compatible, always use the last versions for the two mods

BoboDev

well i was able to get the rpg difficulty to fully work by turning the knife skill in level up to false, thuse disabling the knife skill completely

BoboDev

ok, just found the issue
didnt know you made level up aswell
and didnt know level up would cause all these issues
would love to see a compatibility patch for the two to work together
cant really have the rpg difficulty and not have the level up benefits to go with it accordingly

when i removed the Level up Mod, the RPG DIfficulty mod started working at 100% pefectly
but with Level up added, everything breaks

SoulReaperz I don't think the load order will make difference, but you can go to the source download it to your computer compile by your self, the only thing you will need to change is the function ExecuteOrder in the Initialization.cs to 0.1, if you struggle to do that you can send me a dm in discord #bobodev

BoboDev

not sure if its intentionall, but it appears this mod has to be loaded into the world/server as a very first mod before adding anything else for it to work for me
not sure if your able to just code it to load first on the mod list instead of loading wherever it is loading at, but adding this after adding other mob adding mods does not apply its effect to any of those mobs, and when restarting it just resets it back to a lower order on the list it appears

well i cant get it to increase in the mod load order at all to stay at the top no matter what i do, and all the guides say is change name and it made it worse lol

also rustbound mage

keeps throwing that it needs a patch for the mage class to be supported

Thank you for adding the distance/depth/age parameters, and for making the mod so easily configurable! Makes for some interesting options.

NiclAss Yes should work

Does this also work for stuff like structures spawners ?

SoulReaperz Looking through the code theres is a bug when getting the entity status distance/height, fixed in the 1.0.6

adres4t If all entities from the vanilla works and the primitive simple bugs, theres nothing i can do

@BoboDev

when you say

Loot drop increase

do you mean increased drop chance?

or increased drop amounts?

ive been trying to get increased amounts but doesnt seem to be working for me, but chances seems to be higher tho

altho just tested with normal drifter and i actually was getting less amounts but more chance at farther distances

with two headed drifter(by default it already had higher drop chances to begin with) but at farther distances it did not yeild any differences for me

also none of the other entity mods are getting propper boosts, outlaws are still their 6-16 hp and no increase on anything

rhinos and several other fauna of the stone ages mobs dont get boosts either,

ive checked their respective mods and they do have health notes in them but no increase at all with the distance

ive tested at 500,000x500,000

250,000x250,000

125,000x125,000

67,500x67,500

32,500x32,500

16,000x16,000

and next to spawn at 220x115

and did not see any differences in any loot drops other then with normal drifters actually dropping less item amounts

Following my previous post, pit viper one shot me just now and I cannot damage it at all. I won't be changing anything just for this mod to work.

Cheers.

my mod list:

Ryuu No the monster do not level up, the monster will be the same stats until they die.

SoulReaperz This mod should be compatible with any other mods, probably the mod you are talking about is not setting a health attribute to the entities, maybe they missing something in the json code.

any plans on outlaw and/or fauna of the stone ages support to bump up their stats? the drifters work wonders but imagin an outlaw or rhino or lion with high stats at 50k from spawn

ive ran off into the distance and the looters still had 6hp at 13k from spawn and the animals still had their 12-50 hp with no increase
the better drifters definitly got a good boost the double headed at 13k had over 200hp and the surface had over 50hp

Can monsters level up if they kill someone many times? Perhaps turning them into a 'named' mob or Tiered mob ?

adres4t The mod simples change the health attributes on spawning, should be compatible with any mod that adds new entities, try reducing the health scalling on mod configurations /assets/config/base.json

I couldn't kill a snake from Primitive Survival and its healthbar was full after a few spears thrown at it.

I will give it another chance and see if it's clashing with other mods.

Do you know which mods might be incompattible?

Wandour The level up mod is this: LevelUP, its not increase the drop rate, actually only health and damage

what do you mean by lvl up mod? 

are you referring to xskills?

does increased difficulity also give more drops?
