Overwriting a mods prefabs and adding assets

[BakaSchwarz]

Hi,

i am currently developing a patch for a part of a no longer maintained mod.

Ideally, i'd like to use AddPrefabPostInit to add something to a prefab of another mod. I also want to use AddClassPostConstruct to insert another asset for the prefab.

I check for the mod and that it is enabled just fine. I also set the priority of my mod into a negative value to ensure that the other mod gets loaded before mine.

if GLOBAL.KnownModIndex:IsModEnabled("workshop-XXX") then
    AddClassPostConstruct("prefabs/other_mod_prefab", function()
        table.insert(GLOBAL.Prefabs['other_mod_prefab'].assets, Asset("ANIM", "anim/new_asset.zip"))
    end)
    AddPrefabPostInit("other_mod_prefab", my_cool_post_init)
end

This way of adding assets to a prefab works just fine with prefabs from the main game. But when i use the code above it corrupts the network communication of my client and the dedicated server (it works fine if you're the host).

By corruption i mean all stats are 100, you cannot craft anything, when you get hit a sandstrom starts and other crazy stuff (It's all on the client side, though).

Any idea want i am doing wrong? Do i have to access mod prefabs in any other way?

The function my_cool_post_init contains the following:

 

inst:ListenForEvent("phasechanged", function(src, data)
        if data ~= "night" and data ~= "dusk" and not GLOBAL.TheWorld:HasTag("cave") then
            inst:DoTaskInTime(2, function()
                inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle_off")
                inst.Light:Enable(false)
            end)
        else
            inst:DoTaskInTime(2, function()
                inst.AnimState:PlayAnimation("idle")
                inst.Light:Enable(true)
            end)
        end
    end,GLOBAL.TheWorld)

You shouldn't make changes to prefabs on clients. Only the server needs to run prefab code, so you should surround your Add*** function calls with:

if GLOBAL.TheNet and GLOBAL.TheNet:GetIsServer() then
	-- Add*** function calls
end

Sometimes adding these things on the client side, messes things up. Only changes you need to make to replica-components must also be run on the clients IIRC.

I might have misunderstood your troubles, and if so, I'm sorry
