August 19 - The day when all your mods died.

I want to ask, How does one separate the tiers in this new system? Like Tier 1 and then Tier 2, the coding seems MUCH more simple but I just can't for the life of me figure out the tiering system now.

-edit- I recently read through the comments and am still rather confused on just what Im doing, I've been trying to switch around a few codes to see if Im doing it just right but i dunno.

 

are you asking how to add items to specific tiers?

 

Pretty much, I am kinda wanting to update my mod before the actual update releases "Which I should probably wait until I can figure it out but still" but I'm being stubborn and trying to learn now.
If you want I can share some of the code im trying to change, Just so you can see.

I have a bit of code that actually was validated by the online patching thing I wrote, but something tells me It's just not exactly right...

 

If you're wanting to add stuff to specific tiers, go one page back in this thread to the post i linked to, Kawa was kind enough to help me and provide a couple of example options

-- edit --

Using some values from one of your mods, here's an example of adding items to Tier2

Code:

[
{ "op": "add",
    "path": "/defaultBlueprints/tier2",
    "value" : [
      { "item" : "redstarsword+2" },
      { "item" : "yellowstarsword+2" },
      { "item" : "bluestarsword+2" },
      { "item" : "pinkstarsword+2" },
      { "item" : "purplestarsword+2" },
      { "item" : "rainbowstarsword+2" },
      { "item" : "greenstarsword+2" },
      { "item" : "legionstarsword+2" },
      { "item" : "greenstardagger+2" },
      { "item" : "legionstardagger+2" },
      { "item" : "redstardagger+2" },
      { "item" : "pinkstardagger+2" },
      { "item" : "purplestardagger+2" },
      { "item" : "yellowstardagger+2" },
      { "item" : "rainbowstardagger+2" },
      { "item" : "bluestardagger+2" },
      { "item" : "bluestartana+2" },
      { "item" : "redstartana+2" },
      { "item" : "greenstartana+2" },
      { "item" : "yellowstartana+2" },
      { "item" : "pinkstartana+2" },
      { "item" : "purplestartana+2" },
      { "item" : "legionstartana+2" },
      { "item" : "rainbowstartana+2" },
      { "item" : "bluestaraxe+2" }
    ]}
]

 

Hmm, So you need to add tiers before adding items to tiers? Maybe Im just reading this whole thing wrong >-< Knowing me that's the case.

Let's say one of my weapons from my mod I've been working on would it look like this?

Code:

[
  { "op": "add", "path": "/starweaponspack/items/swords/Starswords/bluestarswords/-", "value" : { "item" : "bluestarsword" } }
]

 

right, if you look at the default player.config there is no "tier2" object, so you have to create it

i think we posted at the same time, check the last post from me, i edited it to provided an example of one of the ways kawa mentioned using items from one of your mods.

 

AHH I see now, Thank you that makes a ton more sense now, And after I get done with this I guess I just name it player.config.patch right?

 

yep!

any place you'd previously use a _merge needs to be the name of the file you're wanting to patch, plus the ".patch" extension

 

One last question, Is it possible for me to try these patches in the current version?

 

the new patching system is currently only in nightly[DOUBLEPOST=1408855939][/DOUBLEPOST]

If you're trying to change what it shows when you're holding the item, you'll need to patch /items/materials/apexshipdetails.matitem

 

Thankies

 

The only thing I have a problem with is killing starcheat! Sure you could spawn stuff but I used it to change the colour of my name and edit my description to what I like. I f you could make something like that it would be great! Just take all the spawning stuff out!

 

How is this "killing" Starcheat?

 

Pretty certain Starcheat is going to work, since it's an external program.

 

Starcheat? Yeah, it needs fixing.
Seriously needs fixing.
Whit all the systems changed around and stuff, spawning items doesnt work whit the nightlies. xD
Well, so my friend said. I dont have access to them myself, so..

 

I've tried it myself recently. It's not just spawning items that's broken right now, it's that the player's inventory seems to have changed format. Here's a conversion from binary to text of one relevant part, for comparison:
Stable

Code:

"equipment": [
    null,
    {
        "count": 1,
        "data": {

        },
        "name": "felintier1chest"

                "directives" : "?replace;ffca8a=d29ce7;e0975c=a451c4;a85636=6a2284;6f2919=320c40"
            },
            "name" : "felintier1chest",
            "count" : 1
        },
        "__version" : 2
    },
    {
        "__id" : "Item",
        "__content" : {
            "parameters" : {
                "directives" : "?replace;ffca8a=d29ce7;e0975c=a451c4;a85636=6a2284;6f2919=320c40"

Can you elaborate on this?

 

Because i dont want to delete my universe file whit my singleplayer base just to update so..
