Less Worm Mod. Need Help!

[Sirion]

Hi all.

 

I want to make simple mod that nerfs worm spawn underground. I've located game file responsible for worm spawning: scripts\periodicthreat.lua, where period and strength of worm attacks is defined. But I don't know how to mod it It isn't component, nor prefab, nor class, nor anything else I've seen in the API Examples.

 

Help me please. I'm not lazy, I just get stuck.

That stumped me too when I saw it, as I had no idea to overwrite that stuff. 

Now, even though I have a character mod, maybe I can help. In my modmain.lua, the first thing I have is

PrefabFiles = {

"webber", "spider", "spiderqueen",

}

 

This, as you probably know, calls the prefabs which should be loaded/overwritten.

Then, there is:

 

Assets = {

    Asset( "IMAGE", "images/saveslot_portraits/webber.tex" ),

    Asset( "IMAGE", "images/selectscreen_portraits/webber.tex" ),

    Asset( "IMAGE", "bigportraits/webber.tex" ),

    Asset( "ATLAS", "images/saveslot_portraits/webber.xml" ),

    Asset( "ATLAS", "images/selectscreen_portraits/webber.xml" ),

    Asset( "ATLAS", "bigportraits/webber.xml" ),

}

Here, the path for each asset is explained, pointing to where each icon/texture is located.

 

If I was to take a guess, you could either add under Assets:

asset( "SCRIPT", "scripts/periodicthreat.lua" ),--or, since assets are probably like art, xml,and sound files, tryScriptFiles = {	"periodicthreat" , }--I don't know if any of these work, but feel free to try! Also, put thhe previous 2 lines of code BELOW PrefabFiles = {}

Try it out. Otherwise, do some mod-hunting. I believe there are a few tweaks mod in the downloads section that overwrite tuning.lua,they have the word "tweak" in them or something. Download one of those mods and poke around in the code. You never know what you may find

Thank you for the response!

 

I finally found a way to deal with that code. First version of the mode will be released soon.
