@Ipsquiggle How to make a slider?

[itsLynx]

I'm making an FOV slider for Don't Starve Together/ Don't Starve. How do I script the slider for configuration? I have the FOV set and when enabling the mod the FOV is great. It also says it may not be compatible for Don't Starve Together, can anyone help?

 

Thanks in advance.

The data for your FOV config entries should just be a number. Then USE THAT NUMBER directly for your fov variable.  Dont use huge pointless  if/else  blocks.

 

[itsLynx]

Can you make an example please?

[seronis]

this is bad

{description = "60", data = "FOV60"},

this is good

{description = "60", data = 60},

Also i should point out a bug that all your FOVXX strings are using the same number so there is no difference between any of the options.

 

 

In your modmain this is bad:

local FOV40 = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="FOV40")local FOV50 = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="FOV50")local FOV60 = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="FOV60")local FOV70 = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="FOV70")local FOV80 = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="FOV80")local FOV90 = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="FOV90")local FOV100 = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="FOV100")if FOVdefault thenself.fov = 35elseif FOV40 thenself.fov = 40elseif FOV45 thenself.fov = 50self.fov = 60elseif FOV40 thenself.fov = 70elseif FOV45 thenself.fov = 80self.fov = 90elseif FOV40 thenself.fov = 100end

and this is good

local defaultFOV = 120 --this number is just for example. use whatever is actually appropriateself.fov = GetModConfigData("FOV") or defaultFOV

So like this?

local defaultFOV = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="default")self.fov = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="40")self.fov = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="50")self.fov = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="60")self.fov = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="70")self.fov = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="80")self.fov = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="90")self.fov = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="100")

@itsLynx Umm.. have you seen this?

@itsLynx Umm.. have you seen this?

Yes, but there is no in game slider.

[Blueberrys]

@itsLynx Use the mouse scroll.

@itsLynx Use the mouse scroll.

It zooms back in ever 5 seconds.

So like this?

local defaultFOV = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="default")self.fov = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="40")self.fov = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="50")self.fov = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="60")self.fov = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="70")self.fov = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="80")self.fov = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="90")self.fov = (GetModConfigData("FOV")=="100")

No not like that.  Like what i actually wrote.  One line.  Get  _THE_  value that is saved in the option.   the value should never be  "80"  it should be  just 80 (or another number based on what is chosen in config).  A   number not  string.

Okay, but why doesn't it say the author when I select the mod and it says it's not compatible.

[seronis]

Because RoG is api version 6,  DST uses api version 10.  

[itsLynx]

It's still not working. There is no "Configure" part of the mod. 

 

[seronis]

Configure has nothing to do with compatibility settings.

 

You need configure options table in your modinfo.lua for config options to be available.  Just look at any other mod that has config options. It should be bluntly obvious what you are doing wrong if you just look at functional code.

[imsomony]

@itsLynx,

 

In addition to what @seronis, has mentioned, you also need a closing bracket at the end of your config options. It's easier to see once you indent your code:

 

configuration_options =
{
    {
        name = "FOV Slider",
        label = "Field of View Slider",
        options = {
            {description = "35 (Default)", data = default},
            ...
        },
        default = default,
    },
} <-- missing

 

If it's still not working after that, please post an updated modinfo... hard to keep track of what you have/haven't done so far =)

[seronis]

In the example above 'default' is not defined to any value so it will be nil in the options{} sub table and thusly also nil in the config_options{} table.

 

It looks like you copy/pasted a section out of a function that is designed to create the options{} sub table elements where it recieved a default value as an argument  (simplex's mods do this among others)

[imsomony]

Yeah, it was just a copy-paste with small edits (to redact his use of strings as values)... it was mainly to clarify closing out the table. I didn't want to get into it too much further without knowing what, if any, updates OP has already made.

 

PS - nice catch on the FOVXX strings, my eyes totally glazed over that. Repeatedly. Even after you mentioned it, haha.

How to I made my own mod?

Definitely not like that.

 

May I redirect you here and there. Should questions arise, follow these steps:

1. look for the answer using the search bar on this site
2. look at similiar mods or game code
3. ask your question in a topic in the mod forums, giving ideally all directly related information.
