Modding

 

Mod System:

  • Mods which overwrite core game assets have usually crashed the game unless the game is restarted once. Now a mod can specify this to force the game to restart when the mod is loaded.

  • Mods can now specify an arbitrary save slot instead of using slots 1-4. This is useful for 'game mode' mods which don't sit nicely on top of an existing Don't Starve save. 

Assets:

  • Road textures can now be overwritten by a mod.

World Gen:

  • Can now specify the range of background nodes to generate for each node in the level definition.

  • Tasks with blockers can now specify what their "blank" nodes are in case you don't want it to be ocean.

  • Tasks have a little more control over internal connectedness by specifying a custom crosslink factor for rooms, and whether or not the rooms are generated in a loop.

Development:

  • AddGameDebugKey and AddGlobalDebugKey are now global functions, so mods can utilise them for testing.

  • Better logging when animations and builds are missing.

  • Sublime Text, a great script editor, is now packaged with the mod tools in Steam! Use this when working with Lua files for syntax highlighting, multi-file search, and other handy editing tricks.

Darn it. Started playing after quite a while of not playing, really enjoying it, especially the new working theme...LOVE IT. Then the game starts crashing whenever I go to attack Deerclops...*sigh*

 

Do you have a callstack?

 

Nevermind. I got this :)

I made a typo with the new music, so it's going to do that whenever you fight an "epic" monster. We're pushing a fix momentarily.

When is the next roadmap Kev? Is there going to be a post about this being the end and all that jazz?

 

WILL WE GET THE RESOLUTION WE SO SOLEY CRAVE!!!

 

Where does Wickerbottom fit in all this?!

I can at least answer some of that....somewhat, and that they don't plan to release the update(s) for the DLC in increments, rather all at once when it's practically complete.

Not a huge fan of how empty the title screen is now. What happened to that shadow hand at the top, or that spider that would web down? Or that animated Wilson that was in the in the public preview for a bit?

 

I know... at least the hands would fill it out more...

It seems the new ruins work music isn't playing, the other new tunes work, including the ruins fight and efs. But for work only the cave work theme plays instead. I tired extracting the music from the in game files, and the ruins work one won't play for me, so I think it's broked... all other new songs work though, not to mention, the ancient guardian doesn't trigger and efs music, and the caves don't have their own efs song.

Is there supposed to be huge piles of nightmare fuel lying around all the nightmare lights and fissures?  I collected over 60 in a couple of days. 

 

I think I'm seeing seeds spawning under my characters feet as I walk.  In the summer anyway.  Anyone else notice this?
