Porting DS characters to DST.

[MikeRobe]

Hi everyone,

 

I made a couple of character mods that work wonderfully with regular Don't Starve, but I cannot seem to get them working with DST. What changes need to be made to the DS mods to make them compatible with DST?

 

One thing I've noticed is this error:

@MikeRobe, You should take a look at how the game's built-in character prefabs have changed between DS and DST. I'm guessing the problem you're running into here is that you haven't split the fn() function into common_postinit and master_postinit, so it's running stuff that needs to be in the master_postinit in the common_postinit.

 

I talked a bit more about these two functions here: http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/45515-help-attempting-to-update-wisteria/?p=579914

Hey, thanks.

 

Looks like that got it working.

 

I had a look at another mod, simply putting my modifiers inside

local master_postinit = function(inst)

was enough.

 

Awesome, thanks!
