If it's tied to lots of writing I wonder it's conflicting with our extended journals. It makes the journals have like 60 pages or something. I wonder if it's connected at all. I've asked for the people I know who have video of it to get it to me and I'll send it your way.

@badatthis Hey! I'm not 100% sure what the issue might be. I sent you a friend request, in case you'd like to share that video.

The exclamations and question marks are basically just re-skinned pieces of paper. If I had to guess, it could be due to lots of writing? The way the game holds information on things can lead to some silly outcomes at times. Appreciate the heads up! :)

I've seen on multiple servers people mention that spending considerable time around the exclaims causes lag. Instances of whenever you turn and one is in your cone of vision the game lags. Or picking them up improves gameplay performance.

Some use the words memory leak becasue it seems to get worse with time. I personally haven't experienced this but it's prevalent enough that I want to address it.

I've got video that shows examples of it. I'm curious if this is a known thing or if there's another reason for it. I'm in full troubleshooting mode so please share if there's a reason or solution for this.

Are normal players suppose to be able to place blue markers? I can place blue ones when I'm not on admin.

having issues with the exclamation points text disappearing
SPYRO 8 Apr, 2024 @ 11:20am 
I am installing this on my friend groups PVE server. I am mostly going to use it to leave notes for my friends that say "ur mum ghey"
Scribl 25 Mar, 2024 @ 7:13am 
@Captain Brandon, I found a small unpleasant bug. Look at line 154 in the Descriptor_models.txt file, it should say "scale = 1," not "scale = scale = 1,"
Captain Brandon  [author] 26 Feb, 2024 @ 12:02am 
@tanuki Hey! Thanks for mentioning it! It is a known issue, was a silly copy-paste error on my part when I was putting it together :lunar2019piginablanket:. When the game is loading models, the default is "1", meaning the model is loaded at 100% of its native size. So- Even though that line does throw an error, the game should always default to back to the value anyways.

I would change it, but the main reason I haven't is because with 36k people currently subbed to this mod, I would hate to force everyone to update their servers, mods, etc. Odds are I wont update until I can think of anything else that would fit neatly into this mod :spiffo:
tanuki 24 Feb, 2024 @ 2:00pm 
hi, inside Descriptor_models.txt you have a "scale = scale = 1," which is throwing errors. The model for PinnedPaperScrewdriver might not get loaded because of this.

I created an addon to this mod that makes placing the exclamation/question marks accessible to players via context menu and displays a small in-world popup of their title when looking at them:

Amazing mod, thank you!
@Grasshopper, i got the same issue with the Vanilla notes. I can write them once in my inventory and then put them somwhere. Than the text is saved. But when i edit them on the ground or after placing them the first time, the editet text will change back to the first state. Thats why is just write them once and if i have to change the text, i just use a new empty one and replace the old one. Maybe this helps.
Denkii 兄貴 19 Nov, 2023 @ 6:04am 
Love the pinned messages, but the issue with the text disappearing is still happening. Thanks for the mod!
Skorio6 24 Jun, 2023 @ 9:42am 
Hello, yes text will reset after leave area..
Steelixian 24 Apr, 2023 @ 11:40am 
Hey, So if you Edit the Items in your Inventory it works fine, If you edit them while there in the world and come back it will delete the text and settings. Just an FYI
Steelixian 23 Apr, 2023 @ 12:45pm 
When you leave the area and come back the text dissapears sadly for us.
Steelixian 23 Apr, 2023 @ 6:27am 
Hi any one know of more tools like this I can use to run events? Trying to find them all, Like Toxic Zones etc
Captain Brandon  [author] 22 Apr, 2023 @ 2:51pm 
@Kuzol Appreciate the help with figuring that out too! :lunar2019grinningpig:

The issue is that the file name for our 3D models matched exactly with the way that Aza labeled their files... Great minds think alike I suppose :steamfacepalm: 100% my bad, should have checked that out before hand. For anyone loading both of these mods together and having the issue of our mod's models looking HUGE, try swapping the two around your load order :steamthumbsup:
Kuzol 17 Apr, 2023 @ 8:13pm 
FYI, just a heads up. If you are using Aza's Various Props & Posters, your ? and ! with this mod will be significantly bigger and different. Due to the fact that they have the same IDs.

@Captain Brandon, thanks for helping me figure out the issue!
Kuzol 17 Apr, 2023 @ 5:19pm 
@Captain Brandon, No we don't do modpacks. All your items are floating and very large. I sent you a DM on Discord. I could show you the image on there, if you'd like.
Captain Brandon  [author] 17 Apr, 2023 @ 3:44pm 
@Kuzol No, it shouldnt be. I just figured that it might have been a mix up between the two. What items are large & floating for you? And, are you using the mod right off of the workshop or did you incorporate it into a server modpack? Trying to figure out what the issue could be haha
Kuzol 16 Apr, 2023 @ 6:46pm 
@Captain Brandon, Yes we have Aza's Various Props. Aza's are normal sizes. I'm assuming it's confliction? Also, thanks for responding so quickly!
Captain Brandon  [author] 16 Apr, 2023 @ 6:26pm 
@Kuzol Are you using the "Aza's Various Props" mod? That also adds a single 3d model for both an exclamation and a question mark. Those ones would only be a single color, stand upright (not lay on the ground like the ones in our mod), and would be bigger and a bit 'bubbly' in shape. Try looking up something like 'ExclamationGreen' in the first section of your search box, or check for the 'RP Descriptors' display category. Please lmk if that works out for you :cozyjunimogreen:

@LineTinzer The mod description clarifies that it is open to use for anyone that would like to use it! Sorry for not replying sooner- Hopefully you just went for it haha :spiffo:
Kuzol 16 Apr, 2023 @ 4:40pm 
Hello, I have a question. So when I spawn these via Items List Viewer and place on the ground. They're extremely huge and floating. Any help would be appreciated!
LineTinzer 4 Mar, 2023 @ 11:27am 
Hi! Can I use this mod on my server's modpack? I'll wait on your answer. Thanks.
BellDandy 25 Feb, 2023 @ 12:05pm 
Thank you so much for this!

Russian Life roleplay community here. Thanks for your work. Gotta make use of this for sure, helps a lot!
Fallen Seraph 17 Jan, 2023 @ 9:07pm 
We've added it to A Path Above. We like to promote RP without forcing it. We'll be mostly the pinned on notes as a "job board" so to speak for players to take jobs. As well as, directions for special events, etc.
Devcutter 5 Jan, 2023 @ 4:19pm 
adding it to my server ''trdivision community server''
the server is still under making but almost ready . im not sure yet on how i am going to use this but i have some ideas .like making interesting locations for players to find.you said theres an item version of the marks so imma probably use it to make some lore for player to find and bring back sort of like quest system
Captain Brandon  [author] 9 Dec, 2022 @ 1:31pm 
@DaNiG So... I found the issue! Good news, it shouldn't effect anything! I accidentally wrote `scale = scale = 1,` in the script file. So, it will pop up with an error, but the scale defaults to 1 anyway, those were just added for redundancy. Shouldn't be an issue, but I will still fix it sometime soon!

@Rogue Operative Happy to hear it! Let us know how it works out for you! :spiffo:
Rogue Operative 9 Dec, 2022 @ 9:26am 
Going to start using this for the Blacklake RP server. This is exactly what I've been looking for, thank you. <3
Troglodyte 7 Dec, 2022 @ 7:41am 
@The Last Roman: They should be able to be stuck to anything! Due to how PZ handles 3D models and tiles you might have to wrangle the note around for a bit to get it into a position that looks good, but it should be possible!

@DaNig: We're working on figuring out what could be causing it! Thanks for letting us know :)
The Last Roman 6 Dec, 2022 @ 8:47pm 
Very nice, I'm tired of leaving notes lying around on tables. Can these be stuck to crosses, so I can finally properly "epitaph" my fallen survivors' graves?
DaNiG 6 Dec, 2022 @ 2:48am 
Nice mod! It's really awasome. But one error appears when a lua reboot occurs. And i dont know why.
ronvon 6 Dec, 2022 @ 1:30am 
this is quite goobering.
Troglodyte 5 Dec, 2022 @ 1:48pm 
Perfect :winter2019joyfultearsdog:
UdderlyEvelyn 5 Dec, 2022 @ 9:16am 
Within the first like.. 6 hours of the notes existing, the very first note got someone killed.. 10/10

cured my depression instantly 10/10
The Man 4 Dec, 2022 @ 7:32am 
10/10 Got rid of world hunger. You remember abbadon the despoiler and the black crusade? yep, solved too. Team rocket? cant do shit against this. Maybe the confederacy of independant systems? nu-uh. Homelessness quota all over the world? zero. Racism? gone. Me? satisfied. I literally shitted and cried at thisbeatiful sight.
North_Kaczynski 4 Dec, 2022 @ 7:23am 
10/10, Solved Cancer. I downloaded this mod and my wife immediately came back, my kids called me dad again, And i finally felt like a real person again. This mod truly revitalised my life, as i now see the question marks and exclamation marks everywhere i go. I have been freed from my chains as a man, as i have realised what it truly means to live. I have no mouth but i must scream at this mod for I love it so much.

Great mod tho fr, adds nice functionality.:steamthis:
Mathoul 4 Dec, 2022 @ 7:04am 
Big uwu from me ma boy.

Gonna place em all around your base on Days End now =)
Captain Brandon  [author] 3 Dec, 2022 @ 10:54pm 
@sapphire Yup! They are functionally identical to paper notes - They can be written on, have their name changed, and be locked! I will be sure to grab a screenshot and add it in :)

And thank you for the points :lunar2020ratinablanket::luv:
sapphire 3 Dec, 2022 @ 10:38pm 
Impressive. Tossed ya some points. Perhaps add a screenshot on how customisable the actual exclamation and question marks are, assuming they work like paper notes?
