Quick question on changing some variables

[Keodis]

Hey guys. I was looking into a way to stop summer from killing you from overheating and found a thread where somone commented:

 

"Hi, you can change that value on manually. Open your Don't Starve folder and go to

"Don't Starve > data\DLC0001\scripts" folder. And open "tuning.lua" file with your favorite text editor. Then you find "OVERHEAT_TEMP = 70" value and change this value from 70 to 90 or higher. And overheating isn't active for your new game.

For "rain effect" maybe you can change MOISTURE_WET_THRESHOLD value to 70 or higher."

 

So heres my question: is there a similar way to disable the orange filter you see during summer?

 

other things id like to know how to disable:

 

-smoldering

-plant wilting during the summer

-disabling items so you cannot see them or create them ( like the endothermic firepit )

 

also does changing these values permanentally change your game? can i make it like a mod that i can enable/disable?

 

thanks

Yes it is possible to make it a mod for you to enable/disable.

 

Smoldering can be disabled in world generation.

 

I'll look into the overheating effect.

 

I believe it is a widget called heatover, so there should be a way to disable it, however I myself am not sure how to, sorry.

thanks bigpak,

 

also if anyone knows the temperatre numbers at which the yellow ring and the red ring appear around your screen at when you start to lose health, that would be super useful.

 

and how much temperature resistance certain items give you.

 

I dont want to fully eliminate overheating id like to make you require a straw hat during summer to stay cool.  Not straw hat, an umbrella, standing under a tree with an endothermic fire going and have ur health drain like you are getting the **** kicked out of you by 10 spiders.

ok i found the values on the wiki.

 

heres an example: straw hat gives 60 protection

 

wtf does 60 protection mean exactly? it cant be the temperature because the temperature that you start overheating at is 70 and i had a hat and umbrella and died........

@Keodis,

 

Insulation increases or decreases the time it takes to freeze or overheat.

 

temperature.lua:

	local freezeTime = TUNING.SEG_TIME + winterInsulation	local overheatTime = TUNING.SEG_TIME + summerInsulation 

[seronis]

Just to elaborate, those times are in seconds.  So insulation doesnt stop heat loss/gain, it just slows it down.  That insulation of 60 means it will take exact one more minute before the same effects occur.
