XirmiX Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 In the game there are few places that are "special" like where you find the metal potatoe thing (special farm place), box thing (some stone area) ect. I'm not talking about the items themselves, but the special places. Is it possible to make a place like that as a mod (without the things) because I wanna make a mod that people will never forget (I want to make a special place that would be straight away in the game when you instal the mod). Oh man, I just realized; wrong section Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/31238-special-places-is-it-possible-to-make-one/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyHam Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 They're called "Set pieces," there's a wiki page about them here.

jbeetle Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 and yes, I believe there's a mod out there somewhere where you can make setpieces.

XirmiX Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Okay. But I think you'd need to make set pieces in an editor or something cause coding items would be quite difficult I think.

Deacon_Blue Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 There are plenty of guides on the Mods section on how to create items and characters. I don't imagine it would be particularly difficult, but I have a fair bit of experience in various programming languages. Go give it a shot and see how it goes. If I remember right, awhile back I believe simplex said you couldn't force them to spawn on world generation. You might be able to make them part of the random generation with no guarantee of showing up, though.

XirmiX Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 What I need first tho is to find the folder where the set pieces are being in. Anybody knows? I'm good at programming but bad at finding stuff. Please tell me where in the DontStarve folder I can find where set pieces are programmed in?

XirmiX Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ugghh I mean that I can't find things in a computer but I can program and understand the codes and htmls pretty well! Now just tell me where the folder is or whatever, please! I wanna make a set piece mod. It's gonna be funny, hard; but exiting and helpful at the same time. Trust me.

Ridley Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 If you are using steam, locate your Steam -> Steamapps -> common -> don't_starve folder. I would bet the set pieces are in the scripts folder. I think it might actually be in Steam -> Steamapps -> common -> don't_starve -> data -> scripts -> map -> static_layouts Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/31238-special-places-is-it-possible-to-make-one/#findComment-411977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XirmiX Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 No steam. I have to go to: Program Files (x86)/DontStarve to get all data. I did NOT buy the game from steam! And why is everything coded?! Why are there no images even in the images folder?! Are you seriously saying that everything is coded? Even pictures? Every pixel is coded? Why? What good will that give?! Okay, so I have a lot of .tex files, which I assume are supposed to be the images, because the codes there are ones that could literally be too hard for a human to do it, especially if Klei is a small company. What do I need to install to get the images as right files if they are images?

XirmiX Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Sorry that didn't help. I just asked my Computer Science teacher about it and he doesn't think that .tex files are supposed to be images. Well then somebody tell me what ARE the images supposed to be? Tell me how do I get my images and so I can see them. May be .png or .pdf or .jgp would be great I don't know how else to explain it, but I need to see my images of Don't starve in order to change them. Btw, what language is the game's files written in? I don't think it's a .xml or .xsl files...

XirmiX Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Ehh, nvm. So, how do I edit my textures or images or whatever?! I need to edit them. I wanna made some mods. I wanna make an Akatsuki to be as a character in the game. Like Deidara for example; Willow likes fire, so that gave me an idea to add Deidara because he loves his art of EXPLOSION Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/31238-special-places-is-it-possible-to-make-one/#findComment-414506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the truthseeker Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Now if you want to also/instead play it on Steam: https://kleisupport.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/1126147-how-keys-work-humble-store But this is one of the areas I suck in, so can't say about LUA programming. However going here may help This mod has the Wes Set Piece for example, so you could see how a set piece is called and rendered.
