[Solved] DarkXeros Bigfoot Mod

[Serpens]

Hi =)
I was very disappointed that bigfoot does not exist in DST, but I found a mod from DarkXero that adds him
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=556027744
Unfortunaltey it seems the mod is not up to date. The animation as a client stucks and bigfoot makes no damage to mobs. But damage to players and structures works.

And regarding to a comment on the mod page, it seems also the blueprint does not appear at glommers statue.

@DarkXero what to do to fix this?

The what gets stuck?

The shockwave doesn't deal damage. It only works nearby stuff.

Damage only applies to mobs that stand right under the footprint.

Also by design, no blueprints are used.

I made the statue regenerate every full moon, and it teaches the recipe to the person that mines it.

This way you don't have a trillion blueprints filling your base if you decide to mine the statue.

You can also pick the variant where the recipe can be built at a ancient pseudoscience station in the ruins.

Ah sry, I did not wrote which animation.
I mean the animation from the char ringing the bell.

Ah yes, the damage for mobs right under the foot works
Hm... I would like to tweak it a bit. I think the shockwave should deal 1/5 of the foot damage and stun all mobs for ~5 seconds.
How could I achieve this?

Thank you for clarifying the thing with the blueprint

 

[Serpens]

shockwave damage question solved

I just had to add areadamage to the foot:
inst.components.combat:SetAreaDamage(14, 4/100) --> 4% from 2500 is 100 dmg.
since the damagerings from groudnpounder are 2 by default, you will get twice 100 dmg if too close to the foot. If normal close 100 dmg.

Stunning is not needed I think.

 

BUT Animation would be nice if someone knows a fix. Animation when ringing the bell as client.

Oh yes, it seems the play state in the server doesn't match the beginning animations of the play state on the client.

So there are two solutions:

1)

AddStategraphPostInit("wilson", function(sg)
	sg.states.play_bell.tags.nopredict = true
end)

2)

local EQUIPSLOTS = GLOBAL.EQUIPSLOTS
local FRAMES = GLOBAL.FRAMES
local State = GLOBAL.State
local TimeEvent = GLOBAL.TimeEvent
local EventHandler = GLOBAL.EventHandler

AddStategraphState("wilson", State {
	name = "play_bell",
	tags = {"doing", "playing"},

	onenter = function(inst)
		inst.components.locomotor:Stop()
		inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("action_uniqueitem_pre")
		inst.AnimState:PushAnimation("bell", false)
		inst.AnimState:OverrideSymbol("bell01", "bell", "bell01")
		inst.AnimState:Show("ARM_normal")
		inst.components.inventory:ReturnActiveActionItem(inst.bufferedaction ~= nil and inst.bufferedaction.invobject or nil)
	end,

	timeline = {
		TimeEvent(15 * FRAMES, function(inst)
			inst.SoundEmitter:PlaySound("dontstarve_DLC001/common/glommer_bell")
		end),
		TimeEvent(60 * FRAMES, function(inst)
			inst:PerformBufferedAction()
		end),
	},

	events = {
		EventHandler("animover", function(inst)
			if inst.AnimState:AnimDone() then
				inst.sg:GoToState("idle")
			end
		end),
	},

	onexit = function(inst)
		if inst.components.inventory:GetEquippedItem(EQUIPSLOTS.HANDS) then
			inst.AnimState:Show("ARM_carry") 
			inst.AnimState:Hide("ARM_normal")
		end
	end,
})

Alright I used the second method~

Also thanks DarkXero!

Also also I reduced the damage to 2000 from 2500. Hope no one minds.

@DarkXero
I added the bigfoot mod to a game I started without the mod and I already destroyed the glommer statue. Now the mod is active, but the glommers statue did not regenerate at fullmoon.
Why? Can I change this, so the mod also works in a game started without it?
The mod is active, since I'm able to c_give("bell",1)

Why?

The bell recipe can be accessed by either the ancient pseudoscience station, or by mining the statue, exclusively.

By default, the recipe can be crafted at the ruins.

The statue only regenerates when the recipe can only be obtained by mining the statue yourself.

So check at your mod configuration that you selected "Statue".

[Serpens]

... what a shame ... you are right, it was ruins... I did not expected that, cause when I implemented the areadamage, I also set "statue" to default setting.

Thank you

@DarkXero
I experienced the following regarding glommer statue:
- I destroyed the statue shortly before fullmoon and got the recipe.
- On fullmoon, the statue was complete again and I tried to pick up the glommer flower.
- When hovering over it, it said "rightclik -> Pick" (I still had pickaxe in hands). When I did rightclick, wilson did the slow pickup animation but did not pickup anything.
- I unequipped the pickaxe and hit Space, finally I got the flower. I think it was without the long pickup animation, but not sure...
- But the look of the statue did not change. It still had the image with the flower.
- The fullmoon ended and the statue finally looked correct.

Can you imagine what might be wrong?
What is the command to make it fullmoon? That way I could better test if changes to script are helping.

Did you have caves enabled or not? I can't seem to replicate it.

Start world, LongUpdate(10*480), now it will be full moon.

After that, c_regenerateworld(). Maybe pick winter as starting season so a full moon lasts longer during your tests.

The issue with full moons is that the phase gets calculated right when the night starts. So if you change the full moon phase after the night begins, some stuff won't work properly (like the blue ambient lighting). And if you change it before, you lose the change because again, moon phase changes at the start of the phase.

Something else you can do, if copypaste clock.lua into the components folder of a mod, and edit CalculateMoonPhase to return "full" every time.

[Serpens]

yes had caves enabled.
I will test it again within the next minutes, if I can reproduce it...
I also had "Auto Actions" mod active, maybe this caused the problem?

[Serpens]

@DarkXeroit is not that easy to get fullmoon O.ô
I tried it first with starting game, type in console: LongUpdate(10*480) , but this did not much, still day and the following night was normal.
Then I entered c_regenerateworld() and again LongUpdate(10*480)  and directly after it regenerate, but nothing. But this is exactly what you wrote.. or not?

So I tried the clock.lua solution, but you can't simply put clock.lua in mods components, cause this throws error in line 186.

So now I tried to do the hack trick, but I'm not sure how this works for components, I tried:
 

local function GetUpvalue(func, name)
	local debug = GLOBAL.debug
	local i = 1
	while true do
		local n, v = debug.getupvalue(func, i)
		if not n then
			return nil, nil
		end
		if n == name then
			return v, i
		end
		i = i + 1
	end
end

local function SetUpvalue(func, ind, value)
	local debug = GLOBAL.debug
	debug.setupvalue(func, ind, value)
end

local function HackClock()
    local clock_fn = GLOBAL.require("components/clock")

	local CalculateMoonPhase, CalculateMoonPhase_index = GetUpvalue(clock_fn, "CalculateMoonPhase")

	local old_CalculateMoonPhase = CalculateMoonPhase
	local new_CalculateMoonPhase = function(cycles)
		print("HIER")
        return "full"--MOON_PHASE_CYCLE[cycles % #MOON_PHASE_CYCLE + 1]
	end

	SetUpvalue(clock_fn, CalculateMoonPhase_index, new_CalculateMoonPhase)
end

AddComponentPostInit("clock", HackClock)

but clock_fn is a table, not a function...
Edit: I will try clock_fn.fn again..
okay, this is nil....

edit2:
I tried to find out what clock_fn contains, and it contains these things:
[00:00:40]: WatchWorldState  =  function: 16B531E0    
[00:00:40]: is_a  = function: 4EBBDC20    
[00:00:40]: StopWatchingWorldState =  function: 16B53260    
[00:00:40]: __index  =  table: 4ED85160    
[00:00:40]: _ctor  =  function: 4EBBDA40   
But I think that does not help?

That advances the clock 10 days. In the night of day 11, you have a full moon night.

If you are playing with caves enabled, remember to have the "Remote:" on the left. If you are copypasting, you most likely turned it off by pressing the Ctrl key.

It should. On the night of day 11 you have a full moon night.

		i = i + 1
	end
end

local function SetUpvalue(func, ind, value)
	local debug = GLOBAL.debug
	debug.setupvalue(func, ind, value)
end

local function HackClock(self)
	local update_fn = self.OnUpdate

	local CalculateMoonPhase, CalculateMoonPhase_index = GetUpvalue(update_fn, "CalculateMoonPhase")

	local old_CalculateMoonPhase = CalculateMoonPhase
	local new_CalculateMoonPhase = function(cycles)
		return 5
	end

	SetUpvalue(update_fn, CalculateMoonPhase_index, new_CalculateMoonPhase)
end

AddComponentPostInit("clock", HackClock)

In this particular case (because self.OnUpdate exists after the component is constructed), you do it like this.

[Serpens]

okay, thank you
@DarkXero
I was able to reproduce it, the same way I already described.
I'm quite sure, that the old removed glommer statue is removed AFTER fullmoon. And the old statue is causing the trouble.
If you play without caves, the only bug is, that the look from statue seems to not change (cause the destroyed statue als shows the flower), until fullmoon is gone.
If you play with cave, you can't collect flower with rightclick, I guess because he tries to collect it from the old statue or simular.

 

edit:

or the old removed statue, spawns an unreachable flower shortly before it is removed

Very well. I wrote a different modmain. Try it out.

modmain.lua

[Serpens]

Thanks!
ah, good to see you also added locomotor:stop thing, cause in the previous modmain it happend that I don't learn bell, if I move meanwhile.

Everything seems to work now
In the previous modmain, if every night is fullmoon, every night a new glommer spawned (if the old one was dead already).
In the new modmain, the new glommer will spawn after 4-5 days. I think this is a some kind of counter in the glommer statue, and since the statue is not replaced in new modmain, the counter works.
But I think in normal game, were it is not every night fullmoon, this will be no problem.

Yes. I noticed it was missing when I when examining the state again.

I also added a failsafe on onexit so the recipe is learned even if you are interrupted with a hit or anything.

Yes that was what happened, since I replaced an old statue for a brand new one.

Now I just give the workable and lootdropper components back to the same statue. This way I keep everything else flower/glommer related.

Normally, the statue has a timer with a 3 day cooldown before it can spawn a new flower, so that's intended.

My code was actually the game-breaking one.
