Recommended Posts

Sim Constructor is an utility mod, allowing mod makers a wide range of functions while maintaining compability.

If a mod uses Sim Constructor everyone who uses that mod needs to have Sim Constructor installed as well.

25/1-17

Hopefully fixed some of the disappearing items bugs
Fixed possible issue with non steam versions
Fixed banter not resetting when mod is turned off

simdefs.CUSTOM_OPTIONS is now keyed, meaning you have to use simdefs.CUSTOM_OPTTIONS[name] instead of table.insert, where name is the on-screen name of the option
Use simdefs.CUSTOM_OPTIONS_ORDER to order things you add to CUSTOM_OPTIONS
Generation options can now have masks. Masks mean that certain options are hidden unless the mask requirements are met
Generation options can have the noUpdate trait to make toggling that setting not put you into custom difficulty
Generation options can now nest other options. This is only useful for vanilla options, since simdefs.CUSTOM_OPTIONS is now keyed
You can now define custom apply and retrieve functions for generation options

Constants local to procgen_context are now defined in simdefs

Mod load order is now consistent (could cause some issues with existing saves, but I think it's better than having it the way it used to be).
Safe loot table is now reset automatically.
Generation options can now be set to default to different values on different difficulties.
Campaign params and Campaign difficulty can be passed to custom apply and retrieve functions.

Hi Cyberboy,

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there a way to change the loading order of mods with Sim Constructor?

For example, the "API Example" mod (which probably doesn't use Sim Constructur?) changes Decker's starting augment, but then "New Items and Augments" loads later and overwrites it with a different one again. I can currently only get the augment from the API Example mod by completely disabling the New Items and Augments mod.

Is there a way to fix this with Sim Constructor's mod load order?

 

Thanks.

I don't mean to be too demanding, but in this specific case, what would I need to change?

A line in the code for the "New Items and Augments", which already uses Sim Constructor I presume? Or would I have to add a dependency to the API Example mod on Sim Constructor?

I don't mean to ask to much of you, I have some coding experience, but got rather confused the last time I tried to mod II, so a few pointers would be very much appreciated!

Just get Agent Mods Combo by Shirsh. It has an agent (Ghuff) which does the same thing.

Actually, Ghuff does the same as the agent included in the Example API mod, but that also replaces Decker's augment with a tagging one.
