[MOD] Pre-0.F Blacklist and Rebalance Mod Compilation

Game Talk The Lab

==== What is this thread? ====

⠀
This is a compilation of Blacklist and Rebalance mods pre-packaged with base game prior to update 0.F. In update 0.F these mods were removed as they no longer fit the in-repo criteria, on top of being completely outdated, broken, and lacking in maintainers.

I have updated the formatting so that they launch properly, and added all the missing content to them in an attempt to make them relevant again. See post below for more info.

I did not originally make these mods and have not taken credit for maintaining them.
All credits are reserved for each mod’s respective owner.

== What did you actually do? ==

⠀
The 0.F update had the following impact on Blacklist mods:

  • Each item exclusion mod now required an additional line to launch without error.
  • Some listed items and monsters had their names changed or no longer existed.
  • Some newer items and monsters were missing completely.

I added the required field for each mod to work ("whitelist": false), removed obsolete items and monsters, and added missing entries since the mods were last updated by their creator.

I also renamed some folders (mainly punctuation), matched the mods’ idents to their folder’s name, and sorted all the entries by alphabetic order so they’re easier to edit and maintain in the future.

=== Notes and Disclaimers ===

⠀
All mods were tested using Stable 0.F-bc28921 (03/07) and Experimental 0.F-a27f801 (18/07).
If you’re using a launcher to play CDDA you will have to remove these mods from the replacements.json file, otherwise they will get removed each time you launch the game.

The mods in this list do not exclude custom modded items and monsters (e.g. Aftershock).

Some items never spawned naturally around the world, they were added because future buildings may contain them (CDDA has history of making modded buildings vanilla).

Needless to say, the changelogs may feature some item and monster spoilers. To clarify: the items listed in the changelog are added in addition to the creators’ original work, which is not listed here, unless specified otherwise. “Added” means the item will not appear in-game, “Removed” means it used to be in the Blacklist but now spawns naturally again.

Some of the mods (those without changes) were already working without my intervention. That said, they are no longer included with base game and may prove difficult to find if you don’t use GitHub or certain compilation modpacks. I have reuploaded them for your convenience.

None of the Rebalance mods spit errors at launch so I’m assuming they’re doing their job, although I was not able to extensively test mods like Fast Healing and No Vitamins.

If I missed an item or a monster, or something doesn’t work, please let me know in a post down below.

== Where are the other mods? ==

⠀
If you’re a veteran player you may remember there being way more Blacklist and Rebalance mods featured in the game, and rightfully so. Some mods were introduced as experimental features at the time, later fully merged into base game.

Some were merged into other mods, many of them in this list. Some are no longer necessary because the things they remove were removed from base game itself, or because the code was changed breaking them. Here is a full list of mods featured prior to update 0.F yet not featured in this list:

* NPC Traits                    - Mainlined.
* Filthy Morale                 - Mainlined.
* Sleep Deprivation             - Mainlined.
* Classic Zombies               - Merged into Darks Days of the Dead.
* Mutant NPCs                   - Merged into Aftershock.
* Mundane Zombies               - Redundant; no clear criteria for exclusion.
* No Big Zombies                - Redundant; no clear criteria for exclusion.
* No Energy Weapons             - Merged into No Sci-Fi Items.
* No Powered Armor              - Merged into No Sci-Fi Items.
* No Flaming Weapons            - Obsolete; entries no longer part of vanilla.
* No Joke Monsters              - Obsolete; entries no longer part of vanilla.

For other custom Blacklist and Rebalance mods, like no frozen foods, and lesser morale penalties, check out GoatGod’s Mod Compilation on GitHub. I do not take responsibility for any outdated or incompatible mods you find.

== Credits and Special Thanks ==

Restoring all these mods would’ve not been possible without these people:

And of course to each and every mod creator who originally created these mods.
Thanks a bunch, folks!

Thanks and well done.

Just so you know, the game will actively delete some of these mods from the world list as soon as you exit and reload the game. As is, if you create a world with some of these it will work until you close the game, then take them off the mod list.

In your cdda/data/mods folder is a file called replacements.json. You need to delete the mods you want to keep from this file. Very annoying.

edit: This is playing with the launcher on F.0 Stable BTW

Really great post, i was wondering what and what not have been mainlined into the new version…

Thanks for the work.

Thanks for letting me know; I will put this information in the Notes and Disclaimers section.

In the future, I would strongly advise against using the launcher to manage your CDDA install.

You should generally know what version you’re updating to and, if possible, what changes were made, what issues arrive with it. I know for a fact the launcher will actively remove older mods people use in their saves on previous versions, and also that the mods will not go away if you’re not using the launcher at all (trust me, I’ve had to launch 0.F upwards of 50 times with those mods just to test them).

Thank you for the kind words :heart:

It has come to my attention that newer experimentals (released hours, or days ago, way after posting this list) may have added new items and monsters that fit the exclusion criteria featured in these mods. The mods have deliberately not been updated to remove those yet; they will become incompatible with the Stable release and older experimentals that do not contain these additions if they do.

In particular, I know of one addition, the gasoline zombie, that could fit the No Explosive Monsters mod very nicely. Since this will most likely be a reoccurring issue as new content gets added, I have decided that I will update the mods once again in the next Stable release, as I would like to assume (would love to see some statistics on that!) most newer players will be using Stable.

Worse comes to worst, I will have to feature multiple versions of the mod applicable to multiple versions of the game, but until then I would like to avoid clutter and confusion as much as possible.

Change the id of the mods so that they are not ids that appear on that list to fix it.

I did this very thing. It appears that the “Replacements” file is not the launcher, but cdda itself. All I did was take out the underscores in the ident so “No_Zombie_Animals” becomes “NoZombieAnimals” rinse and repeat for all the others. Worked like a charm.

Thanks for maintaining these. Would you mind providing a merged download link given the small sizes?

I deliberately avoided posting a link in the OP to download everything in order to avoid confusion, but I knew this question would come up sooner or later.

These mods are not meant to be enabled all at once. This was mentioned in the Discord FAQ but I will repeat and summarize briefly: this isn’t a modpack, and even if it were you are meant to pick-and-choose your content instead of enabling everything and modding the game to death.

While you won’t encounter incompatibilities or errors with everything enabled I feel doing that would result in an extremely boring and dull gameplay, so please don’t. You can grab all the mods here.

Oh I didn’t mean I wanted to use every mod but for convenience its much better to download everything at once and extract it only when you intend to use it because of the small size its just so time efficient. Although I did download everything individually prior to asking regardless, it took around 2 to 3 minutes (because mega acts strangely with multiple small downloads). I was mostly thinking about other people or maybe once (if?) its time to update it would be more convenient then as well.

Though I do understand the need for a disclaimer but it is also true that a newbie could download everything individually and enable them all even without a pack. For that reason I would fully recommend adding the disclaimer to the opening post or at least the second post that already has a disclaimer section.

Thanks again by the way.

Thank you for restoring these mods. You really help make this game enjoyable for other players.
The Safe Autodoc mod seems to have been 404’d, and there’s no working download link.
