NoobModder Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hey TheSurfer!I'll get you started modding here!(If you have any questions ever, just ask me) The first thing you need is knowledge of LUA.If you have that, you can go to Don't Starve, data, then scripts, and then prefabs and look at some code to see how stuff is done. I can also link you to some tutorials! http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/27509-creature-mod-tutorials/ http://dontstarveapi.com/tutorials/ http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/29427-tutorial-creating-a-handslot-equippable-item-from-scratch/ Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/57695-how-to-start-making-mods-of-dont-starve/#findComment-670197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobModder Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 If you didn't already know, a Prefab file is a file that defines what something is. If I had a wall prefab, it would tell me that the wall has an animation, that it can be broken, that it can be repaired, and it has obstacle physics. Components tell you what something does: They are adjectives that tell you exactly what a prefab can do. For instance, if I want something to spawn objects, I would use the PeriodicSpawner component or another similar one. Modmain.LUA tells the game that prefabs and images(Inventory images, map images, etc) exist, you have to mention that they should be part of the game in Modmain.LUA ModWorldGenMain.Lua is not always needed, but it will spawn prefabs in the world through certain code. That should be enough for now, don't want to smother you!
