irongollem Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I don't know how to edit my last post but I wanted to say that I do get the inventory image to work. So the only problem is why won't the autocompiler also compile the ingame images etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malacath Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 I got kinda stuck on this one. I'm building a swiss armyknife "swissblade". I copy pasted the code snippets in notepad++ and used the recommented folder tree. When compiling however the autocompiler seems to get stuck somewhere then keeps looking an endless poolworker thing. The spriter steps seemed to work fine. Can anyone enlighten me? Also for some reason when I do the early step of commenting out to at least see the inventory image version is also doesn't work. The debugger/console says it couldn't find refab swissblade (which for some reason is spelled refab instead of prefab) I'm sorry, but I don't know why your autocompiler freaks out, the only thing I can suggest is to reinstall them.As for the scml files you created, I converted them and one works the other doesn't, but I will just assume you didn't finish the swap file yet.Since you got the invimage working I guess you also figured out why it was complaining about "swissblade" not being found.And lastly, the console just swallows some letters for me too recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irongollem Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks for the reply. I've found that indeed the swap_swissblade didn't save right so I still had to rename the animation etc. However it still doesn't autocompile properly on my machine. He did create the .zip file for the ground image, but not the one for the swap one. Any idea? I've added the thing for clarity. I've reinstalled the autocompiler and games (dont starve and DST) to different drives but the problem of the compiler persists and seems related to my mod as it doesn't do this when I don't have my mod in there. I guess theres still an error somewhere but I can't seem to find it.swissblade.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malacath Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 @irongollem, I can't help you here. In the file you uploaded you still didn't correctly set up the swap file and when I do it then the autocompiler converts it and it works ingame (baring the issue that the pivot is off). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gekido2802 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I scaled my ground image in spriter 2x bigger and it seems good but the swap image won't scale, it's still really small in his hand.Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not seeing what I'm doing wrong here? Could you perhaps upload your working version of it for me to ponder over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try different aspect ratio's of the image before making the spriter file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means that the player animations determine the size of the image (as is the same for position and rotation, for these it is just more obvious)This means that if you want a bigger item in your hand you will need to scale up the image file.

Yeah I realized it a bit later after I converted the anim.zip of the official spear of don't starve back into a Spriter project and noticed that the image used for it was 76x312 while in the .tex file it is 23x100. So I scaled my image so it would fit a 76x312 image and it work fine but mine is still 76x312 in .tex file while theirs were scaled down. I don't understand why.

SenL Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hi, I followed your guide and almost made it.The weapon is not being held at hand, even though I already moved the pivot to the sword's handle (in Spriter). Picture attached. What did I do wrong?Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenL Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 YES!! worked! Here's what I did: Deleted the scml and the zip file firstCreated a new project in SpriterDragged the png to the main areaDragged the red pivot to the sword's handleRight-clicked pivot and chose "Overwrite default pivot"Right-clicked pivot *again* and chose "Use default pivot"Renamed to "swap_****" and renamed to "BUILD"Save the project as "swap_***.scml" (don't forget the dot scml) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxrai Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Maybe this is stupid question... For sure it is for you But IF I have made character mod (all working fine, no crashes) - can I add the item mod to the character so it's ONE mod?

SenL Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 That's what I did. I added my sword to modmain.lua (for describe and name, and then in the prefabfiles) and then in the mycharacter.lua (for prefabs again and start_inv). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irongollem Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The tutorial files for making a creature, the ressurection shrine mod, the caveman mod, the wak - chocobo and the two lizardmen mods currently out for DST all generate the error I was complaining about earlier. After having deleted all of these the compiler works as it should as far as I know, and im going to retry your tutorial. Thanks for you patience in any case!

Foxrai Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Per mod you have 1 file called modmain.lua so if you want to add more content in one mod just make sure you consolidate the modmain files into 1 file. Thank you ^^ You are the best guys. Ok so: 1. I make the char mod working2. I make item mod working without crashes3. I just copy the stuff from item mod modmain.lua and paste them into character one, in certain places in the file? 4. Adding the item settings into character inventory (if needed) The question to point 3. tho - do I just paste stuff from ITEM to CHAR in appropriate places or there is some other "magical" way to consolidate them? Ow and one last thing - I want to make just an ITEM picture which originally IS in game. Literally I mean the "Hound Mound". I want my char can craft this - Hound mound wont go IN the inventory or can't be dropped on the ground - When i click to craft it - char just builds it on the ground in the place where he is standing. This is GOOD cause I dont want it to be drop-able, since its exclusive character skill. But: when I open the craft tabs on the left. And the icon with hammer, the hound mound appears there.That's ok as well. Just it wont have any icon - the icon which game shows is the 1st icon from the craft-tab I had opened - so the fire, hammer, hat.. anything. It just randomize. With this mod here... U think its possible to just add the icon on the crafting-tab on the left? Just this - without inventory item icon and idling item icon (since it can't be put in the inventory or dropped) Sorry for the length of this ._. I guess it's last problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malacath Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 @Foxrai, when you have multiple mods that work independently of each other you pretty much just need to merge their modmain.lua in an arbitrary way (I mean it doesn't usually matter where what goes) and modinfo.lua and copy all other files over. Regarding the Hound Mound you will have to create an image for since the hound mound only has an animation and that can't be used (not as far as I know at least) for displaying in the crafts tab. So just copy the hound mound from the atlas of the animation and put it into, for example, "hound_mound.png". Then you'll need to use the code as followslocal houndmoundrecipe = GLOBAL.Recipe( BlahBlahBlah) -- this code you already havehoundmoundrecipe.atlas = "images/hound_mound.xml" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenL Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 When you have time, could you create tutorial for bodyslot equippable item from scratch?I can't get this armor to show up as worn but it's worn in inventory... and also it's invisible when dropped to ground.I also would like to have 2 slots into this armor but it just crashes on widget setup.

SenL Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) This works as host but then as a client I don't have my sword (I set it as starting inv) where the host has his sword (player as same character).What's happening... Edit:Fixed it somehow. I think I addedinst.entity:AddNetwork()(not sure) However, now the sword is invisible (while being held or on ground, but inventory is ok).Hm... Edit:Ok fixed it by changingowner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_bksword", "swap_axe")toowner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_bksword", "swap_bksword")I was copying "Shovel Knight" and he hasowner.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("swap_object", "swap_shovelblade", "swap_shovel") I'm not sure how this function work (and what those 3 parameters are about). I also changed backinst.AnimState:SetBank("axe")toinst.AnimState:SetBank("bksword")"Shovel Knight" hasinst.AnimState:SetBank("shovel") What is this SetBank()? ...

ChileiLin Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hello, It would be great if anyone could tell me what did I do wrong... I followed tutorial step by step checking everything few times.Everything seems to work fine.. Until the step with swap_item. I willl just call my item "item" here. I created new file in Spriter. Renamed entity for "item" and renamed animation for "BUILD". I set the pivot to where character is suppose to handle item, and I clicked "overwrite pivot" just to make sure it changed.Then when I go to "save file", I choose the destination in swap_item folder. And like you said I name my file "swap_item.scml", including typing "scml" in. When I start the game it still doesn't show item in hand. I also checked the zip in swap_item folder. And the zipped picture is just black. Like I saved clean, transparent canvas... Any idea what went wrong? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did exaclty like you said.. and it didn work. + what i noticed - seems ilke craftables needs 2 images - one shadow (when you dont have enough materials) and one normal - color image. Keep trying something with original game files.. maybe i ll find it there.. Edited January 18, 2015 by Foxrai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
