Mod: Octodad DST. How do I fix it.

[JManWolf]

Hi there. I have been playing Don't Starve Together since it's come out. Since it's also been out, I have been playing as Octodad. The mod was made for Don't Starve and then was ported over to Don't Starve together. Well, when the newest update came out for Don't Starve Together (Early Access (v148470)), it made the mode, Octodad, unusable and unplayable. When I click on the server mods and I have him downloaded, it crashes my game and does not allow me to play as him. I was wondering if there is a way to reconstruct the mod so that it is compatible with Don't Starve Together again. Thank you for your time

You may have a few options. Firstly, I would recommend removing the information from the Octodad character and transferring it to the extended sample character for DST. That way it will be up to date with the latest version. If this does not work, then you can attempt to go int the modinfo and manually set it as being up to date with the game, although this can create bugs.

Here is the link to the extended sample character:

The truth is, there really is no super easy fix to this issue, with the exception of if you can get the creator to update it. Be sure to remove the old esctemplate information (I would recommend double checking the tutorial) and replacing it with the octodad files.

 

Hope this helps, and if you need any more info, let me know.

@JManWolf, the first attribute in the modinfo in the workshop displays

name = ""

and this breaks everything.

 

Give a name to the mod, like

name = "Dumbass that forgot to put a name mod"
