rozwlek Posted November 13, 2024 Share Posted November 13, 2024 How do I apply the mod that I made to the game? I replaced some of the lua files in the scripts zip file with the ones that I edited and when I tried running the game it crashed immediately. I didn't delete or replace anything from the original files, only added some lines. The files I edited and replaced were the crafting recipe files, so I think if there was something I messed up, it wouldn't have crashed until I opened a crafting menu or something in game. Please tell me what I did wrong, thank you. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/160647-how-to-apply-my-mod-to-the-game/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baguettes Posted November 13, 2024 Share Posted November 13, 2024 Hold on a minute, did you replace the original files with your own... without the use of a mod? I'd say overriding isn't the best option when it comes to modding this game; especially not when you replace the base game files with your own copy. Compatibility issues (and this happening), of course, but what exactly were you trying to change in the recipe file?

I'm trying to add a new pet so I copy pasted the line of code for one of the existing pets and replaced the names of the required items to the ones I wanted to use, and the name of the original pet that I copied from to the name of the one I created. Also, what mod are you speaking of that would be a better alternative to simply replacing the game files?

Baguettes Posted November 14, 2024 Share Posted November 14, 2024 I'd say you make a fully fletched mod for it, complete with modmain, modinfo and such. The game has PostInits for you to use to your advantage. Right now I don't really know how you're doing it, though.

I looked around and found the sample character zip and I can see that the modinfo and modmain you suggested are in there, but not the postinit. However, I'm afraid I don't know how to uitilize these files. Could you direct me to a thread or site that explains how these tools are used, and are they applicable to things that aren't custom characters?

In the meantime I cannot use my laptop, so hmm… you could try to look for the keywords: ”AddPrefabPostInit” ”AddComponentPostInit” ”AddPlayerPostInit” etc. for now, since I cannot access my own modding env. for examples yet.

How can I locate the problem? You can try looking in the server logs. The game does this if it knows and can pinpoint a fault, the server logs are separated into two different saves in one world, being Master (surface) and Caves, so you could try to look into either one for a stack traceback. (Or find LUA ERROR, that’s more simple) To get your current world’s logs, go from: Main menu -> Host Game -> click the config button on your test world -> Open World folder It should bring you to Master and Caves folders for that world. Logs are contained inside. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/160647-how-to-apply-my-mod-to-the-game/#findComment-1760079 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm not certain at this rate. I'd say the game does know that your mod is at fault though, so it auto-disabled it. Hmm...
