So, I was thinking that I'd love to have a police officer / Sheriff in the city. just in case something happens ( even though he'd probably only have to pick up Shane to have him sober up lol ) I already have tons of ideas for heartevents and so on. I don't have too much knowledge about coding though and don't really know where to start off with. Is there maybe a collection of tutorials for this? Or is someone willing to explain it to me? I'm a fast learner and if I know where I should start I'd probably get the hang of it rather quick so yeah. What I plan to add is : - His own house + a police station - Heartevents - Make him a marriage candidate - Custom dialogues for everything - an everyday schedule So I have a basic idea on how to add furniture/buildungs/sprites/visuals, but I don't really know how to add a slot for a new character or how to make new buildungs work. Also, I don't really know how to add or edit dialogues. Would I need smapi for this? I've seen mods where smapi is only needed for the festivals so I was wondering. Also, would I, as a beginner, be able to do this or should I start with easier things?
Okay, I've read through the general modding and the tIDE tutorial. The only thing that I don't really understand yet is the heartevent thing. I've gone through all the event codes and I really don't get it. Could someone explain?
Hi Kat, have you tried Siv's guide for custom event yet? http://community.playstarbound.com/threads/guide-for-creating-custom-events.126394/#post-3090685 It is really helpful! Your idea sounds great and I hope it is still in progress! I haven't had any success using SMAPI to add dialog to the current content so I still use XNB method. Much less hassle
Thank you very, very much! I'll try to get back to coding very soon but I had quite a lot going on. But no worries, I definately didn't forget! I'll read through this very soon and start programming and pixeling. I've already finished the police station. Also, thanks for showing interest kind of lost a bit of motivation there but completely got it back! Oh, and as well, I could need some help with the events due to the fact that I'm not a native english speaker and sometimes struggle with describing things and the grammar, so if someone would like to help me with that, I'd be very glad. Since I want this mod to be as enjoyable as possible
