Zafehouse Diaries 2 / Re: Windows 10/ cant find folder for custom images

Hi caspian2,

Can you elaborate a bit about the male / female name problem? Currently I'm not seeing any issues when I generate a new custom character -- male and female names are correctly assigned.

If you can provide steps I can follow to see the problem, I should be able to help.

Hi, thanks for your help. I've found it in the AppData folder yes.

Now I have a different issue though - my custom male profiles are being assigned female character names, and vice versa. Is this a bug?

I have windows 7, so I can't give you an exact fix, but I think I may know the problem.

The folder you are looking for is a hidden file. You have to tell windows to let you see all files. To do this with windows 7 you got to control panels, appearance and personalization, under folder options is a hyper link show hidden folders and files. Once clicked a mini window will appear, with a sub folder called hidden folders and files. Click the bubble that says show hidden folders, files and drives.

Warning. Once you do this you can see files, that you normally don't want to mess with. Don't delete or alter invisible files unless you know what you're doing.

Now you should be able to find the folder, and simply drop the files you want the game to access. Hope that helps.

Hi yes I would like to know this as well? Where/How do we insert our custom images into the game?

I noticed the issue in the tech demo, but i was also getting the rainbow effects, that you have already fixed; so the full product may be much better.

Thanks for the reply. I am very excited for the up coming game, and have been checking steam for updates, as well as here. =)

Hi Stormchyld,

I think there's two issues here, both of which we can (or have) addressed in Zafehouse Diaries 2!

First of all, there's a quirk with the photo filter in Fear Equation that means it doesn't always treat the colours in images correctly, resulting in the lower quality you're likely noticing. It also adds some dithering to the image, to reduce banding and help users who don't always import high-resolution photos.

That said, the dithering can make good photos look worse. We've fixed both of these in Zafehouse Diaries 2; the filter is nearly identical code-wise to the one in the original Zafehouse.

Secondly, since Deadnaut, we actually resize (and pad non-power-of-two) imported images, and compress them to a GPU-friendly format, to ease the burden on the graphics card, though the size in both Deadnaut and Fear Equation is capped at 256 x 256. We've boosted this resolution to 1024 x 1024 for Zafehouse Diaries 2, which is more than sufficient for the sizes you see them in game.

However, if you're not happy with the filter in Zafehouse Diaries 2, we're more than happy to add an option to disable it.

I was just kind of curious.

I've noticed since Deadnaut that you guys use a different filter for the custom photos. This has made some custom photos of friends that i insert into my games, come out looking really poor, or unusable. The original Zafehouse has the best photo filter of all the games produced so far, up through Fear Equation. I was wondering if it will be possible in this game, to turn the filter off, or perhaps have that glanced at, so that a higher quality resolution can still be achieved in game, without compromising the thematic nature of the filter you guys like to use.

Found a bug with the demo. The first day the demo worked flawlessly, afterwards the screen stays black at start up.

Thanks belial12, this is really helpful.

found one, It says "Assets.Scripts.WorldData.Agents.AgentWorldData stopped patrolling because the threat was too great"

Fixed

also, protection items seems to be infinite once you have one, you can assign just one protection item to everyone, is that intended?

Fixed

and there's the issue of scavenging the house, and the journal not showing things I've discovered, like I found two sledgehammers without it ever showing up in the journal, is it intended?

I'm having difficulty replicating this. Occasionally, you might find new items appear after someone breaches a location - by default, survivors will take an item that might be useful to them (like a sledgehammer) when they go to breach. That might explain why they seemed to just appear.

there's also the issue of me selecting to cook simple meals, but it usually gives me large meals instead, not sure about this one though.

Fixed.

Thanks again.
