Yay for Wolfgang the mighty.

yay for griefing

[Some1]

Oh, great!

I got 115992, and found, that Together DLC is designed as part of the game (not in the DLC0002 folder anymore).

Why is that so?

There is no DONT_STARVE_TOGETHER variable to check whether it is enabled or not.

[rezecib]

@Some1 I think because literally every file had to be changed, so it doesn't make sense to use an inheritance system (previously it would look first for a file, let's say pigman.lua, in the current DLC folder. If it wasn't there, it would use the one in the overall data folder). But there was also some talk of it maybe being standalone, as well, but I don't know where it came from.

[Some1]

Well, for now if i buy it i couldn't play vanilla game, right?

 

And what to do now to mod developers?

 

@JoeW, is that the final solution for Together, or would it be separated to the certain folder in the future?

[rezecib]

@Some1 Well, almost every mod has to be rewritten for DST anyway.

great, i gotta wait for whats her face to do Satori for DST @_@ sad days.

Soo I looked up this Satori mod... Perks are cool but what is her downside?

she cant hire filthy pigmen/bunnymen, and upkeep, you cant just tame 1000 beefalo and not expect to feed them every 3steps, otherwise they get angry and sometimes fight you or run away, you lose sanity for it. Trust me beefalo losing their mind and rebelling isn't fun, they eat thru 40 grass real fast, otherwise she doesn't have a real downside since shes in the touhou series she doesnt have a real downside, I just play her because of fanboyism and the mod is pretty well done. Oh and you can't murder rabbits, but you can use a carrot to pick them up instead of making a trap.

[Yoyoto]

Yeaaaahhh I don't know what a touhou is. I think the real thing that keeps me away from character mods though... When they don't start their name with a W or M.

[Some1]

I believed that I could make some kind of an universal version, naive me

 

Definetly, Dev's should keep us some legitimate way of detection is together installed or not.

Don't Starve Together will be a standalone game. It's an expansion of Don't Starve in that we're expanding on the core game and making a multiplayer mode, but not in that it is literally expanding on the same code. It's derived from the Don't Starve code, but we've had to change enough that it made sense to split it out and not worry about compatibility (and our own sanity). So, mods will either be for Don't Starve or for Don't Starve Together. Don't Starve Together will always have its own folder and set of files, which means that, when you're in Don't Starve Together, DST is always implicitly enabled.

[Some1]

Okay, but what if there is'nt significal difference for certain mod between DS and DST versions?

Could you provide some simple way to detect, is that DST or just pure DS?

 

At the moment I'm using "if GLOBAL.rawget(GLOBAL.STRINGS.UI.MAINSCREEN,"DST_UPDATENAME") then" expression, but it looks stupid.

[rezecib]

@Some1 You could probably use something like this:

local DST = GLOBAL.TheNet ~= nil

[Some1]

As an option... but still not clear enough.

Thanks!

That already exists!

 

To check if the game is DS:

TheSim:GetSteamAppID() == DONT_STARVE_APPID

 

To check if the game is DST:

TheSim:GetSteamAppID() == DONT_STARVE_TOGETHER_APPID

 

Hope that helps!

[Some1]

Many-many thanks

I'm certain this has been answered before but I am new to reading things on the forum so...

 

DST isn't going to cost existing DS owners anything, right?

No,it will be free as long as you already own Don't Starve.

[Ixmore]

No, you're missing the point. People given keys are here to help test the game. Not play a version that you think is "done". In fact it's better for it to be in a closed beta right now. My best example of an open beta is Unturned 3.0

 

and I thought I was the only one pointing this out.

But DST is still available to anyone who owns Don't Starve, right? If so, how will it handle unlocks?

 

EDIT: NVM, found the info thread.
