How to port DST Wendy&Abigail?

[Rickzzs]

Can I copy&paste the script and asset? What's to be changed?

[KXWl1]

You can copy/paste, but things are not as simple as you think, because of the difference and complexity of the code. Check my QoL mod that is no longer updated, you can refer to the results you want.

[Rickzzs]

Yes I am aware that there has been the QoL mod, but it didn't port everything like reworked Abigail's Flower, sisturn, pipspook, mourning glory, ghostly elixir(potion), pet health bar in HUD, plus Wendy and Abigail skins. I'm afraid that I need to change everything.

[Rickzzs]

This is my roadmap for all the stuff that is required, am I missing something? I'm really new to DS modding.

modmain (in a mess):

GLOBAL.setmetatable(env, {
    __index = function(t, k)
        return GLOBAL.rawget(GLOBAL, k)
    end
})
-- #TODO: imporve compatibility with other mods
__STRICT = false
local gmeta = getmetatable(GLOBAL)
if gmeta then
    gmeta.__index = nil
    gmeta.__newindex = nil
end
modimport("scripts/apis.lua")
utils.mod("scripts/entityapis")
-- IDE optimizationa
if not GLOBAL then
    require("scripts/apis")
    require("scripts/entityapis")
end
-- #TODO: Add Custom Speech for DS Exclusive characters

-- AddStategraphActionHandler("wilsonboating", ActionHandler(ACTIONS.CHANGEMODE, "give")) -- Need new anim!?

-- AddPrefabPostInit("abigail", function(inst)
--    inst:AddTag("keepfellowonattacked")

local function dst(inst)
    if IsDLCEnabled(REIGN_OF_GIANTS) or IsDLCEnabled(CAPY_DLC) or IsDLCEnabled(PORKLAND_DLC) then
        inst:AddComponent("waterproofer")
        inst.components.waterproofer:SetEffectiveness(TUNING.WATERPROOFNESS_SMALL)
    end
    if IsDLCEnabled(CAPY_DLC) or IsDLCEnabled(PORKLAND_DLC) then
        MakeInventoryFloatable(inst, "idle_water", "idle")
    end
end

Well, I want to know how much you know about the DST's code (although this has little to do with the DS, I think the deeper you know about the code, the better things you can produce). I think your code is only applicable to the DST (I don't have much contact with DST, but I can still see a little.) For example, DS does not have TheNet and TheWorld. As for other things, I don't know whether it is effective. I will observe it for a while. The following code should be used in modmain:

GLOBAL.setmetatable(env,{__index=function(t,k) return GLOBAL.rawget(GLOBAL,k) end})

 

[Rickzzs]

I am familiar with DST modding but I find DS lacking many functions.

I have encountered the following problems, hoping you and @Leonidas IV could answer.

1.custom shader

    inst.AnimState:SetBloomEffectHandle("shaders/anim_bloom_ghost.ksh")

When this line is executed, the animmanager assert fails

2.TheWorld, ThePlayer

When do these variables show up?

function(inst)
    inst = GetPlayer()
    if inst and not _G.ThePlayer then
        _G.ThePlayer = inst
    end
    if inst and #AllPlayers == 0 then
        table.insert(AllPlayers, inst)
    end
end

I want to do this, but is there any way that best does this? Currently I hook ThePlayer and use AddPlayerPostInit. And what will happen if I spawn some more players?

So does TheWorld.state:

function(inst)
    inst = inst or GetWorld()
    if inst and not inst.ismastersim then
        inst.ismastersim = true
        inst.state = {}
        setmetatable(inst.state, {
            __index = function(_, k)
                return GetClock()[k]
            end,
            __newindex = function(_, k, v)
                GetClock()[k] = v
            end
        })
    end
end

3.dynamic anim folder issue

I ported Wendy skins, but if I place them in anim/dynamic/, animmanager assert fails after saying "loading dynamic asset", unless they are moved to anim/

I want to give anyone an attention that these files are special.

4.any console improvement mod or trick?

The console is really simple compared to DST. I find many functions I'm familiar with missing here, like c_select()

5.Where is RegisterInventoryItemAtlas?

Where can I find this??? Is this functionality totally missing in DS?

6.It seems that AnimState:GetBuild is gone, anyone done such job?

I know I can patch AnimState, but has anyone done this work so that I can copy&paste?

7.MakeInventoryFloatable needs new animation?

In DST the floating animation is not a new one. But I see some instances where there are two anim names passed to MakeInventoryFloatable. I'm afraid can't create new animations.

8.DLC content difference

Since this is a port, I'd like to change some things to adapt to DS worlds. For example in Hamlet there is no grave to naturally spawn pipspooks, so I'll introduce the QoL that Mourning Glories spawned near sisturn when petals rot.

Despite the fact that I'm an early player playing from RoG to SW, and now to DST, I'm new to Hamlet and DS without DLC, so to speak. I don't know much about the two worlds.

I'm doing the patch thing. Patch everything so that DST codes can run smoothly within DS, without more modifications each prefab file.

For example, patch netvar, DST modders will know what I am doing

-- Regardless of type, not so important anyway
local meta = {}
function meta:value()
    return self.val

function meta:set(v)
    self.val = v

end
function meta:set_local(v)
    self.localvalue = v
    self.val = v
end
function meta:push()
    if self.event then
        if Ents[self.guid] then
            Ents[self.guid]:PushEvent(self.event)
        end
    end
end
local netvar = function()
    local newvar = {
        guid = guid,
        name = name,
        event = event,
        val = nil,
        localvalue = nil
    }
    setmetatable(newvar, {
        __index = meta
    })
    return newvar
end
expose {
    net_bool = netvar,
    net_tinybyte = netvar,
    net_smallbyte = netvar,
    net_byte = netvar,
    net_shortint = netvar,
    net_ushortint = netvar,
    net_uint = netvar,
    net_int = netvar,
    net_float = netvar,
    net_hash = netvar,
    net_strihg = netvar,
    net_entity = netvar,
    net_byteartay = netvar,
    net_smallbyteartay = netvar,
    net_event = netvar
}

custom shader

You need to load the asset:

Asset("SHADER", "shaders/anim_bloom_ghost.ksh")

 

Quote

TheWorld, ThePlayer

These variables don't exist in DS and you can replace them with GetPlayer() and GetWorld().

About "spawning more players", I don't understand, DS is a singleplayer game, how will it have more players? The AllPlayers variable doesn't make sense.

I understand that you are trying to define what is used in the DST files, but >I< believe it is easier to just change what is needed.

dynamic anim folder issue

Ds doesn't have the dynamic asset system, because there are no skins. What the skins mod does is transform the .dyn into .zip and use it as a normal anim. But extracting dyns is illegal.

Where is RegisterInventoryItemAtlas?

This doesn't exist on the DS and basically it's pretty tedious to get everything working. I have an API for that: [API] Inventory Images

 

Quote

It seems that AnimState:GetBuild is gone

This function doesn't exist on the DS, and I've never seen anyone mimic it yet. I know the build can be taken from DebugString with regex, but you can hook AnimState too.

MakeInventoryFloatable needs new animation?

Yes. You can port the DST system or make changes to the images and use the default animation provided in this template: Extended Sample Character Shipwrecked

 

Hope I helped.
Cheers

Ok I see you already loaded the shader, but I think you need a resolvefilepath instead of a softresolvefilepath.

About the animations on the boat, you can use my method, in which I make the original boat appear during the animation and then hide it again (character animations have the boat as a symbol, why? Good question)

My method is in bug fixes mod, the function is defined in scripts/utils.lua and used in scripts/bug_fixes/shipwrecked.lua

[Rickzzs]

1. Assert failure 'h != INVALID_RESOURCE_HANDLE' at ..\source\game\components\AnimStateComponent.cpp(807): Trace follows...

3.Is there exact reason why I can't place animation files elsewhere? Or anim/dynamic/ in DS is a special directory? I'll try.

4.Thanks for your API, I decide to port DST functions together with yours. But it looks that DST implementation is a bit different (I already patched the missing functions like TheSim:AtlasContains so don't worry):

function RegisterInventoryItemAtlas(atlas, imagename)
    if atlas ~= nil and imagename ~= nil then
        if inventoryItemAtlasLookup[imagename] ~= nil then
            if inventoryItemAtlasLookup[imagename] ~= atlas then
                print("RegisterInventoryItemAtlas: Image '" .. imagename .. "' is already registered to atlas '" ..
                          atlas .. "'")
            else
                return -- added
            end
        end
        -- else --deleted
        inventoryItemAtlasLookup[imagename] = atlas
        -- compatible with API
        if TheInvImagesAPI then
            TheInvImagesAPI.atlasLookup[imagename] = atlas
        end
    end
end
function GetInventoryItemAtlas(imagename, no_fallback)
    local atlas = inventoryItemAtlasLookup[imagename]
    if atlas then
        return atlas
    end
    local base_atlas = InventoryItemAtlas.defaultatlas -- changed, DS name is "inventoryimages" and "inventoryimages_2"
    local alt_atlas = HAMenabled and "images/inventoryimages_2.xml" or "" -- Hamlet compatibility added
    atlas = TheSim:AtlasContains(base_atlas, imagename) and base_atlas or
                (not no_fallback or TheSim:AtlasContains(alt_atlas, imagename)) and alt_atlas or nil
    if atlas then
        inventoryItemAtlasLookup[imagename] = atlas
    end
    return atlas
end

So it is better to be more compatible:

local old = _G.Ingredient.GetAtlas
if old then
    function _G.Ingredient:GetAtlas(imagename)
        self.atlas = ChangedGetAtlas(imagename, self.atlas) or old(self, imagename)
        return self.atlas
    end
else
    function _G.Ingredient:GetAtlas(imagename)
        self.atlas = ChangedGetAtlas(imagename, self.atlas)
        return self.atlas
    end
end
local old = _G.Recipe.GetAtlas
if old then
    function _G.Recipe:GetAtlas()
        self.atlas = ChangedGetAtlas(self.image, self.atlas) or old(self)
        return self.atlas
    end
else
    function _G.Recipe:GetAtlas()
        self.atlas = ChangedGetAtlas(self.image, self.atlas)
        return self.atlas
    end
end

5.DST Floating anim uses AnimState:SetFloatParams, but what about SW? I don't know how to patch such function regarding animation.

6.Speaking of boat, can I either ignore "swap_boat"(or such thing) or add this symbol from existing DS characer anim file? I don't want to draw it apparently.

7.After importing abigailbrain, she seems to be stuck moving. What's the cause? I guess locomotor missing functions?

edit: I messed up trader component, never mind.

 

8.How to extract sound files and recompile them? I have little knowledge about this. This sounds are under "dontstarve/characters/wendy/abigail/".

I don't know why you stick to multiple players (even if they are generated through the console, they are also uncontrollable targets, unless you want to... make them your followers or something like that). Well, if you want to use AllPlayers, there is no problem. Try the following code: 

local AllPlayers = {}
for k,v in pairs (Ents) do
    if v ~= nil and v:HasTag("player") then
	    table.insert(AllPlayers, v)
	end
end

This is irreversible. The only thing you can do is to modify anim file (adding 'idle_water').

Technically ThePlayer always point to the local player in DST, but AddPlayerPostInit is not so safe if I spawn more players. If I do not initialize ThePlayer once for all, the newly spawned entities with player tag will interfere with AddPlayerPostInit causing unexpected behaviors.

Yet as a desirable feature I do want AllPlayers mimic itself in DST. For instance Abigail's flower utilize this to play its ground animation.

I'll pay attention to the floating part when it comes to SW. The priority now is vanilla DS and RoG. This information is really precious.

I don't recommend adding symbol unless you are confident of success.

3.Is there exact reason why I can't place animation files elsewhere? Or anim/dynamic/ in DS is a special directory? I'll try.

You have to put it in 'anim'. Others should not be allowed. I don't know the specific reason.

The mod is published for now and indeed many things are still not implemented. However, since I have to handle the animation files it is expected that the work will not be done very soon. And I hope that the code is available for anyone to check right now.
