[B42/B41] Bandits Creator
(Unofficial) Bugs/Issues Thread
Better to have a single place for Slayer to see any issues than clumped up in the main page. :)

Post any bugs/issues you've found so far!

BUGS I'VE FOUND

1. The resolution of the Creator screen is too big, meaning I can't exit the menu or save anything. If I misclick, I'm sent to an empty menu, essentially softlocking me and forcing me to exit and re-enter the game. I'm essentially unable to use the mod in this case, despite changing game resolution and window mode. Partially fixed for the first menu, but the actual creator continues to stretch past the screen.

Whats your screen resolutio?
After the update the window should take almost all the screen so how can you misclick

Sorry for the delay.
My screen resolution is 1366 x 768, my default setting. I tried other resolutions, both smaller and bigger, and the result is the same. The first menu seems to stretch outside the screen; you can move it like a window, though clicking outside of it does nothing.

However, when you're actively in the menu for messing with the bandits, clicking outside the window will cause it to disappear and show only the main menu background, basically softlocking and forcing a restart.

I say misclick because for my end, the menus and dropdowns are all sized oddly or pushing outside the screen; some clicks don't register that I'm clicking on an object in the dropdown, so it'll close the windows and softlock me.

I'll check further to see if it's only on my end, but figured I post it just in case! :)

EDIT: This seems to be the case for all resolutions and settings, both with and without mods.

I noticed a similar problem when I went to customize the firearms bandit loadouts in the creator. Thought it might be a 4k issue, so I started checking different resolutions and the problem was still reproducible.

Click in the wrong spot and the creator UI will move "below"(as in it becomes more transparent with game's title suddenly overlapping it) the main menu and also become totally unresponsive to any inputs requiring a forced shutdown of the game as pointblank98 described.
Here's what my options look like. It doesn't matter what resolution I switch to in fullscreen (B42).

saw it was added for B41, tried it and its not the best rn, game crashed when i tried loading a premade clan and when i went to try making a clan i couldnt back out and when i clicked something that i think made it back out the UI was still showing but i could see the main menu text and couldnt do anything, ima try disabling the addons i have and see if it works then

Edit: got it to work but i am also having the same issue some of the others here are, mainly the softlock issue

I am still testing to see if it is a mod conflicting.....but it seems the ability to recruit and dismiss followers is not working. I would love to know if anyone else has encountered this problem as well. I've also noticed if you make a group of bandits and only want 3 out the 6 to spawn it will sometimes ignore those parameters and spawn in everyone from that group.

i also have the same problem where the UI would stretch and when i customized the character, the character it self would block the cancel and save button and when i accidentally click on the main menu it would just softlock me, my screen resolution is also 1366x768

For me personally, continued use of the avatar editor for the clans will slowly overtime create lag until closing and reopening the game and will do this no matter what.
I have the exact same issue with the overlapping of menu buttons/character model forcing a soft lock,
i found a very sub par way of at least being able to escape the menu,
and its by:
going in border-less windowed (least that's what works for me in my 1600x900 display),

and in order to leave without soft-locking you'll have to **VERY CAREFULLY** press the clone button, as it doesn't always register right and can soft lock, then one can exit the menu.

I'll try saving with it, and honestly its not a very fun solution having to align your cursor exactly on the button but it can at least prevent some soft locks

I found one possible cause for this: the items menu.

When you go to pick an item for a bandit, and then click out of the menu without hitting the close button, the menu doesn't actually disappear. Instead, it gets buried underneath the Bandit Creator GUI where you can't really see it.

These can stack over time and cause a LOT of lag.

When you close the creator and go back to the main menu without closing the game, you'll see all of the item GUI screens stacked on top of each other.
When I click on the Bandits on the Main Menu the window just doesnt appear and I get stuck with no way to return
On build 41 I just have unclickable buttons save and return, if you click on the background then everything will become unclickable and the background will overlap the editor. Every time I restarted and tried to configure, only wasted my nerves

Looks like everyone is having the same problem. Is everyone here on build 41?

Getting x8 the ammo selected in the creator spawning on bandits in b41 hosted MP game .

I know duplication is a vanilla issue in Zomboid, but this bug didn't happen for me in Bandits v1.

Tried a mod meant to stop duplication but it doesn't seem to have effected this bug.
Where are the local groups saved in?
I've looked everywhere in the entire folder of Zomboid and I have not found it despite saving it to Local
