Crafting help

[Enderia]

I never could figure out how to add crafting recipe with custom tab to this game, before or after the update that changed the crafting menu.

I'm trying to add two food items that are crafted under custom tab, that you can craft depending on what tag the character has on currently (sundrops for sunform & moondrops for moonform).

This is from my last try to add the candies:

--------Custom Crafting Tab
--local mytab = AddRecipeTab("Daycare", 998, "images/customs/daycaretab.xml", "daycaretab.tex", "babysitter")

AddRecipe("sundrops",
{ 	Ingredient("berries", 5), 
	Ingredient("papyrus", 2),
	Ingredient("honey", 2)}, 
	RECIPETABS.SURVIVAL,
	TECH.NONE, nil, nil, nil, nil, "sunform")

AddRecipe("moondrops", 
{ 	Ingredient("ice", 2), 
	Ingredient("papyrus", 2),
	Ingredient("blue_cap", 2)}, 
	RECIPETABS.SURVIVAL,
	TECH.NONE, nil, nil, nil, nil, "moonform")

GLOBAL.STRINGS.NAMES.SUNDROPS = "Sundrops"
GLOBAL.STRINGS.RECIPE_DESC.SUNDROPS = "Energizing candy"
GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.GENERIC.DESCRIBE.SUNDROPS = "Smells like citrus."

GLOBAL.STRINGS.NAMES.MOONDROPS = "Moondrops"
GLOBAL.STRINGS.RECIPE_DESC.MOONDROPS = "Sleepy-time candy"
GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.GENERIC.DESCRIBE.MOONDROPS = "Smells like berries."

Also side ask about how to set sprites for the items, because I can't find a good tutorial for this.

I don't think it's possible to create a custom crafting tab at the moment without heavily diving into the new UI code. Keeping your character specific recipes in the character tab should be enough though.

As for adding a new recipe, after the UI update AddRecipe has become deprecated. AddRecipe2 should be used now. So if you want to add your recipe you need something like this:

AddRecipe2("sundrops",
	{	Ingredient("berries", 5),
		Ingredient("papyrus", 2),
		Ingredient("honey", 2) },
		TECH.NONE,
	{	atlas = "your_item_atlas",
		image = "your_item_image",
		builder_tag = "sunform" },
	{ "CHARACTER" }
)

AddRecipe2("moondrops",
	{	Ingredient("ice", 2),
		Ingredient("papyrus", 2),
		Ingredient("blue_cap", 2) },
		TECH.NONE,
	{	atlas = "your_item_atlas",
		image = "your_item_image",
		builder_tag = "moonform" },
	{ "CHARACTER" }
)

GLOBAL.STRINGS.NAMES.SUNDROPS = "Sundrops"
GLOBAL.STRINGS.RECIPE_DESC.SUNDROPS = "Energizing candy"
GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.GENERIC.DESCRIBE.SUNDROPS = "Smells like citrus."

GLOBAL.STRINGS.NAMES.MOONDROPS = "Moondrops"
GLOBAL.STRINGS.RECIPE_DESC.MOONDROPS = "Sleepy-time candy"
GLOBAL.STRINGS.CHARACTERS.GENERIC.DESCRIBE.MOONDROPS = "Smells like berries."

 

Just make sure to change the "your_item_atlas" and "your_item_image" with your items textures.

I kind of saw in one of the updates that now you can easily add your own filters

Just make sure to change the "your_item_atlas" and "your_item_image" with your items textures.

When I tried to use this it the game crashed with "attempt to index global 'TECH' (a nil value)"

Probably im just dumb

local TECH = GLOBAL.TECH

Put this before adding the recipes, that should fix it.
