Modders: Your new friend at Klei!

[tehMugwump]

Ok, on Wolfgang Classic, I've had to include the whole damn hats.lua file because I can't get this ONE line to work from the modmain:Hats.lua:

if owner:HasTag("player") then--owner.AnimState:Hide("HEAD") -- this keeps his head from dissappearing when wearing hatsend

What I'd LIKE to do:Modmain (with or without the 'if' statement):

function show_Head(inst)if owner:HasTag("player") thenowner.AnimState:Show("HEAD")endend---------------AddPrefabPostInit("hats", show_Head)

Of course the simplest approach won't work for me.I think it's another case of, hats.lua is loaded on start, then the modmain, but the modmain won't be effective if hats are swapped after load... Edited July 25, 2013 by tehMugwump

How can you make your character be able to finish adventure mode and be put on the throne?Does this have to do with animations or the puppet.lua/maxwellthrone.lua?

Something must have changed with 'GetMouseWorldPos' because Spawn(self.entityPrefab) still works with the other commands (inventory, food, etc) Edited July 25, 2013 by tehMugwump

Try this:

AddSimPostInit(function(inst)	if inst.prefab == "wolfgang" then		inst:ListenForEvent("equipped", function(inst, data)			if data.slot == GLOBAL.EQUIPSLOTS.HEAD then				inst.AnimState:Show("HEAD")			end		end)	endend)

I'm assuming you're still overriding the standard wolfgang prefab in your wolfgang classic mod. If not, change the name of the prefab accordingly. Edited July 25, 2013 by simplex

TheInput:GetMouseWorldPos() no longer exists. Replacing it by TheInput:GetWorldPosition() should do it.---edit---Actually, TheInput:GetWorldPosition():Get() will give you the same as TheSim:GetPosition(), so you may prefer the latter (or not).---edit 2---I'm guessing this change was made so that naming conventions would fit conceptually with the PS4. Although I think TheInput:GetWorldPosition() should've been aliased to the old TheInput:GetMouseWorldPos() to preserve compatibility with older code, especially since that would've required a single line of code.

No longer exists? Just like that? Sheesh.Thanks for looking into this [MENTION=44092]simplex[/MENTION]. Gives me a place to start!

No problem. Replacing TheInput:GetMouseWorldPos() by TheInput:GetWorldPosition() really should be all you need, since TheInput:GetWorldPosition() works just like TheInput:GetMouseWorldPos() used to. And, in fact, that's what the new DebugSpawn() does!

[tehMugwump]

Worked like a charm. Thanks again!

One other thing that is now broke is 'Freebuild'.This no longer works and I have no clue what's changed with the new tech tree here either...

function Freebuild()	local inst = GetPlayer()		if inst then		if inst.components.builder.freebuildmode then			inst.components.builder.freebuildmode = false		else			inst.components.builder.freebuildmode = true		end		inst:PushEvent("techlevelchange")	endend

The event's name has changed. Try replacing "techlevelchange" by "techtreechange".

[tehMugwump]

The event's name has changed. Try replacing "techlevelchange" by "techtreechange".

Thanks again [MENTION=44092]simplex[/MENTION]. Is this something I should have known? Were did you learn of these changes?

Whoops, sorry I've missed all this, between the broken notifications and the release business, I forgot to check this thread...I notice that in the development branch the event pushed is "unlockrecipe". Try that instead perhaps?

Both "unlockrecipe" and "techtreechange" should work, since in widgets/crafting.lua we have both the lines

self.inst:ListenForEvent("techtreechange", function(inst, data) self:UpdateRecipes() end, self.owner)

and

self.inst:ListenForEvent("unlockrecipe", function(inst, data) self:UpdateRecipes() end, self.owner)

Moreover, since that's the only place in the game code that makes use of both events, these approaches should have exactly the same effect. I just suggested "techtreechange" because it's a more direct analogue to the old "techlevelchange".

Thanks again [MENTION=44092]simplex[/MENTION]. Is this something I should have known? Were did you learn of these changes?

Since these changes are not really documented, it's perfectly understandable that you didn't know of them. I learned of them by reading the game code.

[tehMugwump]

Ah, unlockrecipe seemed to do it. That was one of the last pieces of the puzzle. Couldn't have done it without you guys!

[Lexicroft]

Jeez, just now want to update my character mods, I just start Don't starve and it instantly kick me out, then I download samplecharacter mod and see what is different, the bigportraits is the problem, I got it, start the game, and it works.Then I enable my character item mods, and it just kick me again, I just can't see / know what is error but I think it just the .tex again but what, then I download sample prefab, and I just don't know what is changed. Is there anybody already done this?

[Lexicroft]

OH MY!There is change in build.binI think I get it but, this will be nasty ton of works, redo all of my item one by oneNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[tehMugwump]

If you haven't yet, check out your log.txt file. It almost always points you to the trouble spot from a crash.

Hmmm, not working. It reads up to the listen event, but then nothing. (I get prints outs up to that point)Also, if I throw in 'inst.AnimState:Show("HEAD")' up front, Wolfgang's head shows on load, but as soon as I switch hats, it vanishes...

AddSimPostInit(function(inst)print "about to enter 'head' sim post init..."	if inst.prefab == "wolfgang" then	inst.AnimState:Show("HEAD") 	print "now IN 'head' sim post init..."		inst:ListenForEvent("equipped", function(inst, data)					if data.slot == GLOBAL.EQUIPSLOTS.HEAD then			print "now IN GLOBAL.EQUIPSLOTS.HEAD check..."				inst.AnimState:Show("HEAD")				print "head should be showing"			end		end)	endend)

Try this:

AddSimPostInit(function(inst)	if inst.prefab == "wolfgang" then		inst:ListenForEvent("equipped", function(inst, data)			if data.slot == GLOBAL.EQUIPSLOTS.HEAD then				inst.AnimState:Show("HEAD")			end		end)	endend)

I'm assuming you're still overriding the standard wolfgang prefab in your wolfgang classic mod. If not, change the name of the prefab accordingly.

Ouch, huge "duh!" moment for me. It's not the equipper that receives the "equipped" event, but the item that gets equipped. This should work:

AddComponentPostInit("equippable", function(Equippable, inst)	inst:ListenForEvent("equipped", function(inst, data)		if data.slot == GLOBAL.EQUIPSLOTS.HEAD and data.owner.prefab == "wolfgang" then			data.owner.AnimState:Show("HEAD")		end	end)end)

How to remove recipe from recipe tab? Like I want to remove crock pot from recipe tab, so when the game starts there is no crock pot recipe.

I'm not sure you can remove a recipe, properly. But if not, you can hide it by attaching a filter to the crafting widget. In this scenario, a filter is just a function that will receive each recipe's name and return true or false. Check widgets/crafting.lua for details.

There is some function in player_common.lua

        --give the default recipes        for k,v in pairs(Recipes) do            if v.level == 0 then				inst.components.builder:AddRecipe(v.name)			end        end

Maybe I could edit that with PrefabPostInit.
