Help! - My first (attempt at a) mod

JamieHyneman · December 22, 2015

Hello and thanks in advance for the help. I am attempting to make a mod for DST that would add roof that you can cover a base with. The idea is that you can build a piece of a wooden roof (from 2 planks, 1 silk. and 10 cut grass) and place it over your base so that it keeps you dry (and possibly create an insulation effect if that's possible) Right now I'm working on the basics of getting the item in game, and being able to place it. I have already hit a wall though. I'm having problems making XML files as I have no idea how to work them. Any help is appreciated, and I hope to update this with any further questions until I complete this mod. Or until I give up.

Attached is what I have so far. Basically, I've just been copying and pasting lua from other mods and changing them for my purpose. Any pointers, tips, or info is appreciated, but please don't post telling me that I'm a complete idiot, and need to "kms". Keep in mind, this is my first attempt at a mod of any kind.

You should download the don't starve mod tool as its autocompiler will generate the .tex and .xml of any png placed inside a "images" folder of any mod folder when launching the game.

Where do I get this mod tool?

[00:01:40]: Could not load texture ../mods/roof/images/inventoryimages/Roof.tex

Does your atlas have Roof.tex as the texture it uses, instead of roof.tex?

Or do you have any

Asset("IMAGE", "images/inventoryimages/Roof.tex"),

when it should be roof?

Yep, that fixed it. Should have been obvious to me. Thanks for the help!
