Custom Recipe Tab Help

[Blackbando]

So, I am attempting to add a custom recipe tab to DST, and 2 things I've noticed.

1. It never seems to work.

2. It is a HELL of a lot harder than DS

Here's the exact coding I have.

Anybody know how to help?

Haven't I seen that recipe before somewhere?

(What's the problem?)

[Blackbando]

1. Actually, you probably have. It's a recipe Dleowolf used on a similar problem, but for some reason it doesn't work for me.

2. I probably should have put this, but the problem is that I can't get the icon working.

I suggest you check out:

It has a custom tab.

[Blackbando]

Okay, so, I tried all the advice, I tried using Jacket, I tried many guides, and still no clue why it isn't working.

I'm just... stumped.

Here's the files for the mod, I hope someone can figure out the problem.

It also says I can't upload 7zips (The kind of thing I need to use to give the whole mod) so I suppose here's a mediafire link I guess?

well, ill also throw in how i added my custom tab in DST:

modmain:

in the Assettable:

Asset("ATLAS", "images/inventoryimages/zergtab.xml"),

below:

GLOBAL.RECIPETABS['ZERG'] = {str = "ZERG", sort=0, icon = "zergtab.tex", icon_atlas = "images/inventoryimages/zergtab.xml"}GLOBAL.STRINGS.TABS.ZERG="ZERG"

adding a recipe:

AddRecipe("larva_drone", {Ingredient("meat", 1)}, GLOBAL.RECIPETABS.ZERG, GLOBAL.TECH.NONE, nil, nil, nil, nil, "kerrigan","images/inventoryimages/larva_drone.xml")GLOBAL.STRINGS.RECIPE_DESC.LARVA_DRONE = "Spawn Drone."

also, i used this

if GLOBAL.TheSim:GetGameID()=="DST" then 

to completely seperate the way i do it in DST from how i do it in DS. I made my whole mod completely compatible with both games like that.

@Blackbando, Yes, it's a lot harder in DST right now. It should become easier at some point, I'm guessing having an AddRecipeTab modmain environment function is one of PeterA's todos.

 

Atlases are xml, not tex. You also don't have tab_bg defined in your modmain, so you'll need to pull the values from it in scripts/widgets/crafttabs. For the AddTab function, the first atlas is for the background, so you want that to be the same as every other tab (the second icon parameter is for the background, confusingly...). So your code, but edited (I guessed what assets you actually wanted to use based  on what was in images/hud):

@rezecib Thanks for the code, but for some reason, this is my screen.

@Blackbando, Learn to love your log file.

[Blackbando]

Yes, I checked the log, and, from what I can gather, nothing had an error that crashed it.

Here's my full log,

[Blackbando]

So, I loaded up a world, not too confident it would work, seeing as how much things failed for me, but got a great big grin when finally, FINALLY, it worked.

Thank you so much for all your help!

[PeterA]

Hey everyone, Kzisor brought this to my attention and sent me a code suggestion, and I've extended the crafting tabs to be accessed from the mod api now.

 

Here's an example of how you would use this new api, AddRecipeTab.

local sort_key = 25local fancy_tab = AddRecipeTab("Fancy Stuff", sort_key, "images/hud/fancy.xml", "fancy.tex" )local Ingredient = GLOBAL.IngredientAddRecipe("fancy_item", {Ingredient("goldnugget", 1)}, fancy_tab, GLOBAL.TECH.NONE )

I haven't done much testing on this yet, so if you run into issues, please let me know, and I'll get that sorted out.

 

This will be going out in the next patch, probably tonight. Hope this works for everyone's needs and simplifies the adding of new tabs!

Pointing out that while PeterA did give the proper function to call he forgot a very important parameter/argument which can be passed to the function.

local fancy_tab = AddRecipeTab( "Fancy Stuff", -- Display Name.sort_key, -- Sort Key."images/hud/fancy.xml", -- Atlas File."fancy.tex", -- Icon File."fancybuilder" -- Builder Tag.)

You can add a builder tag to the Recipe Tab just as you can do with the Recipes, so only specific characters see the tab.

[PeterA]

@Kzisor, yeah good catch! The function in modutil does take the build tag too, but I forgot to include that in my example.

[Blackbando]

Hello again...

Er, so, I was attempting to add more recipes to the tab, and then this happened.

And, for some reason, though this is the last of my priorities atm, it made it so the recipe tab is there twice and I don't know why.

[Kzisor]

@Blackbando, Read what PeterA  posted in this very thread.

[Blackbando]

I did read what they said. I just didn't get if that would help me with my current problem. It wasn't a response to my last post, so I assumed it would've helped with earlier problems.

Edited June 6, 2015 by Blackbando

[Kzisor]

@Blackbando, the response which PeterA posted is the proper way of adding custom recipe tabs now. 

[DarkXero]

@Blackbando,

 

Well, you can improve the wall o' text with the new functionality that Peter brought.

 

Regarding your error, it's because of

Ingredient("prangegem", 1)

there is no prangegem in the game, so, no image for it, thus, crash.

 

On a second note, see my example here:

http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/54230-helpcould-i-make-some-different-items-to-create-the-a-same-new-item/

 

To create different recipes for things that already have recipes, such as purple gems, so you don't lock other people out of them.

[Blackbando]

Wait... I put prangegem...

*facepalm*

Thanks for noticing that.

[Blackbando]

Er, hello again. How would one add magic levels and such to a recipe with this new system?

I have this put in

AddRecipe("yellowgem", {Ingredient("orangegem", 1), Ingredient("greengem", 1)}, fancy_tab, GLOBAL.TECH.MAGIC.3)

and get this error message

')' expected near '.3'

[DarkXero]

GLOBAL.TECH.MAGIC_THREE

[Blackbando]

That hasn't been working. It keeps saying this:

 

attempt to load index field 'MAGIC' (a nil value)

[Renarii]

@Blackbando, GLOBAL.TECH.MAGIC_THREE does exist it's used quite frequently so you're doing something else wrong. (for example the batbat recipe)

Recipe("batbat", {Ingredient("batwing", 5), Ingredient("livinglog", 2), Ingredient("purplegem", 1)}, RECIPETABS.MAGIC, TECH.MAGIC_THREE)
