Modding Help [Solved] About packing part...

Edit : Solved ^^ can be closed.
thx @The | Suit for helping me.


Hello , so following the old topic (it was a true mess because many problem was mentioned , some was solved and some other wasnt spotted yet) , si finally i only need to pack 2 folders ("fridge" and "minifridge") , i've only replace .png file files with same name and pixel size.

So my first problem , if i try :

"win32\asset_packer.exe" "UnpackedAssets" "Glitchfridge1.0.pak"
-from the "starbound" folder (with "Unpackedasset" folder in it)
it pack the full folder of unpackedasset (infact its logic) but it's not the goal , so i've try :

"win32\asset_packer.exe" "fridge" "Glitchfridge1.0.pak"
- from the "human" folder (with "fridge" folder in it)
It don't find the path x(

So with the same step and with same kind of location (i mean 1 folder above) it don't work same and i don't know why.


My second problem (its maybe not a problem) , is the followinng : i need t opack 2 folder in 1 mod (fridge+minifridge) , how can i do that please ?



In the worst case i can host them on a site like mega and someone should pack it for me ?

 

With the tutorial

I've use this tuto , but it wasnt good , so after help from an older topic i've make sooner, i've try "win32\asset_packer.exe" "UnpackedAssets" "test.pak" (from starbound folder) and it was correct and packed (and was ok IG too) , but now the same things dont work.

I've already donwload the modding ebook before starting anythings but like in all in english and fairly technical i dont understand anything :/


Edit , i've also try using a modpack helper like you suggest me in another topic , but it wasnt good too , its why i try again with command.

 

I dont know how it can be wrong :
1 i unpack asset
2 from the unpacked asset i open every .png file from "fridge" folder and "minifridge" folder (located in object/human) on paint.net
3 i change texture like wanted but i keep the same name and same pixel size when i save them (for avoid problem)

Then from here it follow the first post above , it mean that :


"win32\asset_packer.exe" "UnpackedAssets" "Glitchfridge1.0.pak"
-from the "starbound" folder (with "Unpackedasset" folder in it)
it pack the full folder of unpackedasset (infact its logic) but it's not the goal , so i've try :

"win32\asset_packer.exe" "fridge" "Glitchfridge1.0.pak"
- from the "human" folder (with "fridge" folder in it)
It don't find the path


So i think the issue is the packing part , not the modding (but i'm sure of nothing infact i'm lost lol) , i'll check again the ebook

Edit2 : ok , from page 15 i've copy past an example (and ofc modify it) , and the command was :

"\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Starbound\win32\asset_packer.exe" "\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Starbound\UnpackedAssets\objects\human\fridge" "\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Starbound\mods\medievalfridge.pak"

Seem to work i'll start the game for see that IG but the main problem seem solved , i'll keep this command in sigh for learn it.

Edit 3 : Package is good but dont work in game (still display defaut skin) , i'll investigate , i've already get this problem before and i'm not sure how i've solv it , but if i've find once i can again x) , i'll check that.

Also how i should do if i need to pack 2 folder in 1 mod please ? , i need to pack them one by one then merge together or i think we have a command with name of both in it ?.

ps sorry for smiley i dont know how to disabled them.

 

I dont doubt about the tutorial itself , but about my knowledge in english , i progress but slowly ^^'

 

infact after my first faillure of medieval fridge i've stop for help others while changing their .png file and posting them back totheir topic (like the copper skin for mecharaknid , glitch boat for colorful boat mod some little things like that) , but now i try again , of cours if i've have enought skill for make it (and not only as a dirty edit like i try atm) i'll make a tutorial in french , i'll be glad to help ^^

edit : "if" was missing in my last sentence xD

 

Ok , after reading and some try it begin to work (and as standalone , not as placeholder ^^) , so i've done the test flashlight and work IG

So yeah i've mix step between dirty edit and standalone mod step , i've also make a .metadata file (didnt made it before so it should explain some fail...)

and guess what ; we did it !




Now i'll try again on the minifridge (ive the .png since some time too) ^^
(edit i've try with my mods compil (around50 mods) and it work well too , so i think share it on the site soon (after working enough on the recipe part ^^))

Thx you so much for your help.

(after minifridge done i'll try to merge them in 1 mod , and for tutorial i'll see after training because i didnt create all file myself (yet) , but about the translation it shouldnt be too hard to do).

 

Nice new , i've merge the medieval fridge and the medieval mini firdge in 1 mod and seem to work too , now the recipe part and this topic will be closed soon ^^


Edit : Ok it work , not sure if its about the learnBPonpickup but its in the crafting list with correct mats.

If you want the recipe to be learned after a user finds a specific item, this is the best way to go. Simply add the line,
"learnBlueprintsOnPickup" : [ "example", "example", "example" ]
This will allow the user to learn the recipe after picking up that item.

But where i need to add it ? in the metadata or the player.config ?

Also it work like this ?
"learnBlueprintsOnPickup" : [ "frozenwater", "ice", "iceblock", "icemachine", "snowflake", "smallsnowflake", "giantsnowflake", "snow", "snowball", "mediumsnowball", "largesnowball", "fancysnowman", "snowman", "giganticsnowball", "cryonicextract" ]

I've mark the topic as solved , you can close it if you want ^^
Thx you very much.

Last edit ^^ , mod posted Thanks again ^^
