Modding Help How to release mods in V. Offended Koala

As it is currently, it is full crap, I hope the developers because even improve what.

 

Well this new feature is rather confusing, and made it actually harder to install mods in a way.
When converting my mod to this new format, it keeps crashing because of a duplicate "default.treasurepools" (which was working fine before converting) and because of charcreation (which, again, was working fine before)

 

It mostly aims for easier install on the player's side. And I'm sure once we get used to this format, it'll actually be better in the end. It's just the converting that's annoying.

 

What mod are you using? I'm able to override the default.treasurpools and charcreation using the new system. Maybe I can help.

 

Well, my own race mod.

 

The homestuck one? is the dl the same as the version you are currently modifying?
*I'll take a look at it.

 

Currently modifying it, yes.

 

I've also got a problem. Before the patch, my mod with a gun in it worked pretty well, nothing seems broken. Now when i converted it over to the new format, the weapon is now invisible and crashes when you shoot it. Id like some help here and im pretty lost.

If its not too much of a hassle, id also like if you tested to see if any solution you've come up with works.

 

Anything wrong with that? At first I had missed a comma (hate finding those issues) but it still failed after adding it.

Ok so, first. Check you charcreation and scroll down to where it draws the face sprite. You're uing robotfemal.png twice. Not sure if you meant to or not. Second, your file structure is off. I did this too with my mod You only want one troll folder directory. So re-compress your mod by selecting everything in your troll folder instead of the folder itself. This will fix the troll folder being duplicated and your mod will work as intended. Also don't forget the .modinfo

Yes, you missed another comma line 7

 

Apparently it wasn't updated for the latest patch... I thought it was, shows what I know!

 

Curse you commas!!! *Shakes fist*

 

Dl, and off to test, brb.

 

Hi, I have been working on a ray gun mod, but after the new patch it seems that no matter what I do I can't get the gun to fire. I have tested it with other projectiles and it works, but not with custom projectiles. Before I just threw my projectiles in /mods/raygun/projectiles/ but that will not work anymore. I have tried putting my custom projectiles in the pre-existing projectiles folder but still no luck.

 

Another Freshly baked fix for you sir, enjoy!

Btw, awesome gun, it's so fast and loud. LOVE IT!

 

If you want give me the whole thing and I'll attempt to fix it for you. I should have it down on how to fix it now.

 

Ok, just got to looking at files sry. Same issue your file structure is off you need to do this when zipping. Otherwise it duplicates your mods directory when unzipped.

 

Pretty sure this is your problem: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/how-guns-changed-explanation.53337/

 

Did you try this out? because as you can see, there is a troll.modinfo, which makes the code think that each 1 of those folder is each own seperate mod. I'll have a go at it. where can I find this download?
