How to make your own crafting table(OUTDATED)

Ok thanks. I didn't know I had to unpack the assets.

EDIT: Could anyone help me with my mod? The recipe is shown in the crafting table
but it is called "perfectly generic Item".
I can't find the mistake...

 

I think you need to call the item name the same as the filenames. So in your case, either call all "croptrader" instances "trader" or reverse.

 

What do I do with the actual trades? I can't call all of them "pixel"?

 

They can keep their names, they have nothing to do with the croptrader object except serving as recipes for it. But the croptrader object file and everything that belongs to the entity itself, say everything in the same folder, needs to use the same objectname as you reference in the object file and in the recipes.

edit: So in your example, just change the name from "trader" to "CropTrader" in your object file. I just see that you also need to change the name in the recipe files, as the system makes a distinction between "croptrader" and "CropTrader"

 

Thanks for your help but I still can't get it to work. I gonna rewrite it from the beginning hoping it will wor then.
But one last Question: Can I use the refinery.config to do refinery style recipes or do I have to change something else?

 

A last tip I can give you, ever check the logfile, it can give you vital clues about what doesn't work.

 

I am sorry to bother you again.
The crafting tabel itself works now but none of the recipes is showing up.
Am I doing the FILTER thing wrong or might it be because I am trying to craft pixels?

 

Yes, it looks like you can't craft pixels. You'd have to find some other way, I guess you could make a merchant instead of a crafting trader where you can sell the crops

And you should delete "objectType" : "interactable", as it no longer exists (check the log file).

 

I did it and this happened.

 

Thanks ^u^ So it turned out I forgot a comma.
-EDIT- Nope I had an extra comma

 

Well, it works now, but I get a perfectly generic item

 

It says "Error: Error loading object file /objects/mynewcraftingtable/mynewcraftingtable.object: VariantException: Improper conversion to int from string in get("price")"

 

The numbers were in quotations...
On another note problem solved

 

i'm having a problem i'm trying to edit an existing mod for personal use
i'm trying to make it that the engine core from madtulips ship mod can snap to the roof as well
the problem is that when i place it on the roof it doesn't show
is it a problem with the coding?:

{
"objectName" : "madtulip_human_engine_core",
"rarity" : "Common",
"description" : "An engine for a spaceship",
"shortdescription" : "Spaceship Engine Core",
"race" : "generic",
"category" : "decorative",
"price" : 10,
"printable" : true,
"inventoryIcon" : "madtulip_human_engine_core_icon.png",
"orientations" : [
{
"dualImage" : "madtulip_human_engine_core.png:<color>.<frame>",
"imagePosition" : [-29,-24],
"frames" : 11,
"animationCycle" : 1,
"spaceScan" : 0.1,
"anchors" : [ "bottom" ]
},
{ "dualImage" : "madtulip_human_engine_core_2.png:<color>.<frame>",
"imagePosition" : [-29,-21],
"frames" : 0.1,
"animationCycle" : 1,
"spaceScan" : 0.1,
"anchors" : [ "top" ]
}
]
}

i do have an upside down image for the core named : madtulip_human_engine_core_2
i copy and pasted it, right clicked and clicked on rotate 90 degrees twice and then renamed it to the above name

what am i doing wrong


some more info i only added this part

{ "dualImage" : "madtulip_human_engine_core_2.png:<color>.<frame>",
"imagePosition" : [-29,-21],
"frames" : 0.1,
"animationCycle" : 1,
"spaceScan" : 0.1,
"anchors" : [ "top" ]
}

 

Hey, Can you update the last part of the tut for upbeat giraffe, everything else is fine and works great

 

Which last part are you referring to?
And I doubt he'll update this tutorial since this thread wasn't used for over a year now and he's been offline for about a year.
Well, regardless, where are you stuck?
