How to modify the cookbook?

[shaochen]

I want to change the method of making "powcake" in my mod. I try to put the modified file "preparedfoods" in  "mymod\scripts". But, when I enter into the game, I find nothing changed.

How can I deal with it?

I had a similar problem here

with creating new recipies, apparently you can't use prepared foods lua and

have to work around -

 

for a solution I was pointed to this

but I haven't been able to get that to work either, though that may be due to my own mistakes.

Modifying game files directly should never be done. See this post for how you could modify a recipe using the proper methods. Edited May 1, 2014 by squeek

Thanks a lot. However,it's too difficult for me. I decided to give up.

honestly its not that difficult, it is just very particular about the way things must be done.

It just takes determination and patience - and a lot of help from fellow modders in some cases.

 

Rather than try to change an existing food, it is easier (and better) to just add a new one.

 

What did you want in for your new food ?

Dont try to change the existing food, instead just make your own.

Those values are not actually controlled by the recipe, they are controlled by the prefab (the recipe hunger/health/sanity settings are only used to set the values of the prefab at startup). To modify them, you'd want to use a PrefabPostInit like so:

 

-- in modmain.luaAddPrefabPostInit("powcake", function(inst)    inst.components.edible.healthvalue = 0    inst.components.edible.hungervalue = 0    inst.components.edible.sanityvalue = 0end)
