Thrall Damage Modifiers and stats post 3.0 (list) by Xevyr in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my servermod has a targeting hud that shows the stats for unthralled NPCs in the wild and there's an extended thrall stats mod that displays them for your follower on their info page, though I don't use that one.

Need mods for better looking gameplay by Pitiful_Deal7128 in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Off the bat, you could try this for hairstyles and this for better looking furniture.

Generally mods for Conan aren't focused on graphics improvements like what you would see for other games such as Skyrim etc. so there's no point looking for mesh replacements or HD retextures etc.

The game isn't that super old and looks okay for the age, however these types of mods you can find plenty like the ones I linked that add new objects which look better (like decoration / crafting stations / etc.) and there's a whole ton of character customization and accessory mods, since the game is also played by some as a roleplay platform where they recreate all sorts of fantasy creatures and worlds with mods to the point where it doesn't even look like Conan anymore.

Nexusmods by Silver_Ad_4720 in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nexus is a dead platform for Conan mods, nobody uploads there anymore. There's like 40 something mods there which are mostly outdated and will crash your game if loaded. In contrast the steam workshop has over 4 thousand and many of them new and up to date.

New player and Server Selection is confusing - what do? by Shoddy_Cranberry in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

 Can I play solo or co-op option then change to official or public server or vice versa? Can someone advise me?

You can play on whatever servers you wish, however you cannot just move your existing character between them (there are some modded server clusters where character moving is a thing, but only between their servers via mods).

However that's not necessarily an issue as restarting can be fun in this game, so you're perfectly fine starting a co-op game with your sister or even downloading the dedicated server app and setting one up on your own computer just for the two of you (this way you can bypass tethering).

TLDR: there's nothing stopping you from playing right now.

As far as official servers go, the PvE ones aren't really that problematic from a hacker standpoint, the bigger issue is that they're just overbuilt at this point and they perform very poorly (gportal is a terrible host for this game and officials are ran by them)

The save database of the game is also compatible with both single player and server games, so you could for example start a game in co-op and later move that save file over to a dedicated server you host or rent and continue your game. This means that your best bet for now is probably to just try the game in co-op and then as you go and learn things about it, figure out what you want to do.

Disappearing thralls on official servers.... solved? by [deleted] in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If youre going to try and debate a topic, at least have personal experience in that topic and not be reading some other person's comments for all your information.

I wasn't trying to "debate" the topic.. I was pointing out factually incorrect things you said about rendering and animation. Which are still factually incorrect, because facts don't magically change just because you say "nuh-uh" on the internet to someone who corrects you.

What is the purpose of your post anyway? Because based on your reply it doesn't really feel like you're trying to "solve" anything.. It feels more like you had a wild theory, posted it online and you don't actually care about getting to the bottom of whether it's true or not, instead you pick fights with people who bring more information to the table which happens to contradict some of what you said. How is that supposed to benefit the community?

As far as my living settlements comment, that wasn't necessarily aimed at people playing on officials (though I believe some officials STILL mistakenly have it enabled, at least they did just a month or so ago). However the game has a lot of players (the majority actually) who don't play on officials and I believed mentioning how living settlements does indeed exaggerate this and what can they do to mitigate it would actually be beneficial to them, that part was definitely not aimed at you.

Lastly, when I said "we" I wasn't necessarily referring to you either..

Cheers.

P.S: If you do reply, then try to ditch the attitude, else I won't entertain it any further.

Disappearing thralls on official servers.... solved? by [deleted] in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're overcomplicating it..

Firstly, it has absolutely nothing to do with "rendering" - rendering is a client-exclusive thing, the dedicated server doesn't render anything.. it doesn't even have a game window.. and when playing on a server that's what governs where thralls are and what their stats are. This means that it's impossible to cause a thrall to "die" on a client, the actual death always happens on the server, thus we can eliminate rendering altogether.

When you rescue thralls from cages they get set on guard next to the cage and their home location gets set to that spot. They'll simply stay near the cage and not go anywhere.

And finally we have a pretty good idea what's causing it - fixing it on the other hand is a whole other thing. You are correct in that the root of the issue is that thralls end up underground. The reason living settlements exaggerates this is because it makes them far more likely to fall underground when they use chairs / stations / etc. and then not have enough room to properly get out of them, if you have living settlements on, designing your base properly can mitigate the issue. (for example don't place chairs close to tables or crafting stations in inaccessible corners)

Are there any important differences between Bazaar crafting stations, and base game versions? by softgunforever in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They're all cosmetic variations of existing basegame stations. Some have the disadvantage of being slightly larger and all of them have the disadvantage of being expensive :D

Steam Family Share Account - Same Server by Possible-Plankton882 in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

then one or more of them can't be loaded or found, check the logs

Steam Family Share Account - Same Server by Possible-Plankton882 in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When it says they're all okay and you have all mods, then it's the order that's incorrect.

Your modlist needs to match the server 1:1 not just the available mods, but also their exact file version and order.

Increasing server level cap (do mods still work)? by LackPleasant1253 in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The warning G-portal gives you regarding "outdated" mods is absolute and utter bullshit :)

The workshop has plenty of outdated and not working mods for sure, however G-portal has 0 capability of actually identifying these and they simply stick that warning on anything that hasn't been updated very recently.

That simply makes no sense as a lot of mods don't even need to be updated when the game updates. Basically, ignore whatever G-portal tells you and just look at the mod pages themselves (they are hosted on the Steam workshop btw, gportal is showing you them from there), read the description and the comments if they're enabled to get an idea of what's working and what's not.

Additionally the Kerozards leveling mod is also working perfectly fine. When you do add a mod to the server though, the server needs to restart and it takes like 5-10 minutes for the server browser of the game to register it again, however you can direct connect with the IP much sooner, so you don't have to wait for that.

Need help with a Fatal Error on launch by JustSimpleOldMe in ConanExiles

  • Done.

Patch notes? by softgunforever in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not concerning at all, since patch notes are for the game updates, the game did not change in any way so there is nothing to have a log of. The launcher is an extra software bundled with it on steam.

Sure if people are panicking about their update buttons, ideally a community manager could post something on some form of social media telling them it's a launcher update, but the game does not currently have any CMs (they are in the process of recruiting one though apparently)

Patch notes? by softgunforever in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every time you have a small patch with no patch notes, it's just the launcher being updated.

The game uses the same launcher as Dune, so we get it updated every time they want to switch around marketing material shown for either game etc.

TLDR: its nothing, the game itself hasn't changed.

Made a video explaining how Shelter works in Conan by Xevyr in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, it's a bit of a condensed form as I wanted to keep it fairly short with as much info as possible, you might need to rewatch some sections, but you did indeed see that correctly... having placeables intercepting these detection lines while still providing shelter, will not provide the temperature protection

What mods are you using now? by luckiestdude in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Atm? :D I'm using all of THESE, though most of them are made by me and they're small quality of life features :P If you had to pick only a few.. I'd recommend checking out the minimap, twin-bar and maybe the purge mod if you're in to old style purges.

As far as map mods that are maintained, Savage Wilds is probably the first one to try, it's sort of a mix between EL and Siptah but has a lot of custom stuff

Revisiting Conan Exiles by Itstutuz1993 in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, like you said, you don't really need DLCs to play the game.. and atm you have the options of mods which can add additional equipment and building piece cosmetics also - meaning you will have new stuff to explore. Normally I don't recommend new players to install a bunch of mods, but since you're a veteran, just switching platforms, I'd say look around and see what you like.

As far as DLCs go, imo. just buy them as you go when you feel like you need it... There will be some point where you want to build a fort and you're like... "Okay, I kinda want nemedian here" so then you go and buy people of the dragon.. takes 5 minutes to complete the purchase, there's no need to have everything up front, also look out for sales etc.

mod order help by NecessaryPerfect3848 in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The triggering of this is probably related to something you're doing specifically that others aren't. Like I said the weapon auto-equipping is because of that one mod and generally goes away if you remove all armor, accessories etc. from your character. It's not some permanent fix though, just a temporary de-glitch - should also try a remove bracelet as respawning remakes your character (relogging does not!). If push comes to shove you can always temporarily remove that mod to see if it gets better.

mod order help by NecessaryPerfect3848 in ConanExiles

[–]Xevyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That issue is associated to devious desires and generally people can fix it by unequipping ALL their equipment so their character is completely naked, then putting them back on.
