Bug Reports
If you find any bugs, please do let me know here so that I can fix it asap!
Please keep in mind I might take some time to fix a bug.

How to file a report?
Be thorough. I need to know whether it happened in Singleplayer or Multiplayer, if you have any related mods installed, what you were doing, how, when, etc.

"I have 400 mods, some must be causing issues. Fix plz" doesn't help anybody.
If you suspect a mod incompatibility, find out which mod is causing the issue and discuss with whoever developed it.

In order to preserve my sanity and not waste anybody's time, Bug Reports that do not follow these guidelines will be ignored.

Stay Updated!
Remember to always read the release notes each update so you can keep up to date with the latest bug fixes! 💖

What: So in multiplayer it doesn't seem to function at all, I'll press "E" while on the stairs and nothing seems to happen.

How: I was pressing the E button while on the stairs of a building in Ravens creek, then went to Muldraugh to see if it worked on vanilla buildings and it still didn't work.

When: 6:09pm on a Tuesday.

Not sure if you're supposed to be able to rebind the button somewhere in the keybinds menu, but if so that also isn't showing up. (I have the mod enabled and can see it in the sandbox MP settings)


If you're interested to take a look this is my mods list.

I don't see why anything in here would conflict with this mod, but maybe I'm missing something.

(Little follow up edit here)

I went and tested it with no other mods enabled and it still didn't work, so I have no idea what the issue is.

Follow up #2: I figured out the issue, it only works if the zombies are directly in front of the stairs and not if they're to the side.

Side note, it isn't properly tracking how many zombies are actually in front of the stairs, even if its 5 or more it will just say 1.

That's not how it's supposed to work. Please post a screenshot of the zombies upstairs so I can take a look.

I can't seem to get this mod to work. I have it at the bottom of my load order to load it last but even then I can't seem to scan any staircases by pressing "E" on them even when I know there's zombies above in some cases.

I can send my log if needed but I'm not really sure what to look for, which is a shame since this mod is a really good idea!

Did you rebind the Interaction button key to another key instead of "E"?
Screenshots of a case where there's zombies above but mod won't see them?
Where were you? How many zombies? Where?

I haven't tried rebinding it yet, will do that in a bit and report back to see if it helps.

I'll try to get a screenshot too to check, though my survivor isn't in fighting shape at the moment so I may need to take a day lol.

I was in St. Paulo's Hammer (custom map mod), but there were at least 3 zombies above me in a house when I tried it and 4 in another when I started looting. I'll run tests both in St. Paulo's and Riverside on a new character to test and will report back when I'm able.

I am also finding that this mod is not working for me. Standing at the bottom of stairs and pressing E doesn't show any sort of prompt, I suspect its clashing with another mod, though I wouldn't know where to start looking for that.

Something is wrong with the encoding of files in russian localization (or else, I don't know).
I tried to create a new .txt, but the problem still there.
I tried it only on a singleplayer game, only with this mod activated and with 'Change Sandbox Options'.
If I'm switching game lang to eng, then everything is fine and in eng of course.

Что-то не то с кодировкой файлов в русской локализации.
Пробовал пересоздавать .txt, но чет не все равно проблема осталась.
Пробовал только на сингле, из модов подключен был только этот и мод на изменение опций песочницы в игре.
На английский переключаешься -- все норм само собой, но на англе.

Nvm, I fixed it. You need to change that UTF8 to Windows-1251 and evrything will be fine.

Надо менять кодировку в windows 1251 и тогда видно какая кракозябра получается. Перед сменой копирую нужный текст, меняю в файле кодировку, вставляю в текст - все работает )
