BrainsForVeins Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hello there. Let me just start off by stating the obvious about my situation:I literally know squat about modding. I just started studying up on the matter a few days ago. But I really wanted to make my own character for Don't Starve and cram him in the game. I thought I was doing a relatively decent job, until I went and checked inside the game itself for my modded character. Apparently, he's "Out of Date." Not sure how that's possible, considering I just made the mod a few days ago. I checked the api version of my mod and other character mods I have downloaded. They're all set to 4, as they should be, but it says out of date anyway. Anyone know what's wrong? If I need to post more info, let me know.

seronis Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Open up your modinfo.lua and copy/paste the contents of it here. The line with api_version should be set to 4 as you guessed but several of the mods on steam right now dont have that. For example Isis is using api 1Bosom is also using api 1Wisteria is using api 3slow health regen is using api 2wicked is using api 2 Edited February 7, 2014 by seronis Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/31429-mod-help-out-of-date/#findComment-413284 Share on other sites More sharing options...

seronis Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Doesnt look like anything is wrong there. I was expecting a capitalization or spelling error since you said you were using api 4. Are you able to just zip up the whole mod folder and post it with dropbox or mega upload ?

seronis Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 The mod isnt showing as 'out of date' on my side. Im also using the steam version of Dont Starve. Is your DS itself updated or are you using an old version? Also you might consider adding icon_atlas = "wen.xml"icon = "wen.tex" or equivilant into your modinfo.lua Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/31429-mod-help-out-of-date/#findComment-413391 Share on other sites More sharing options...

seronis Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Adding those isnt needed to be 'up to date'. Its just they need to be in the modinfo for the icon to be used properly. Your mod folder you uploaded showed up properly for me as-is with no edits.

Then I'm not too sure what the problem is on my end. :/ The only thing I can think of is that one of the mods I have downloaded is blocking mine from being used, but that's silly.

seronis Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Is it saying 'out of date' or just 'disabled' ? Mods are disabled until you enable them. Out of date is a seperate issue.

It says "Out of Date", so it's automatically disabled. And when I enable it, it doesn't show up in the game.

seronis Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Well I went ahead and enabled the mod and run it. Instant crash. And the reason why is in the log file. You dont have save slot portrait data. You only have the dummy files in that folder. Doesnt explain why your side says 'out of date' but the mod still isnt usable yet Edited February 8, 2014 by seronis Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/31429-mod-help-out-of-date/#findComment-413725 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt explain why your side says 'out of date' but the mod still isnt usable yet Yeah, sorry, I haven't done the slot, or big portrait yet. :/ This was really just nothing more than a test mod, anyway.
