Modding Help How to release mods in V. Offended Koala

Yea that was stable and running for me, unless I did something wrong at the last second it should be working. troll.zip It's really reading it as if they are separate mods?
This is how I got SoME mod running again. A SoME inside a SoME with a .modinfo didn't work for me. Which is what happes if I select and zip the folder instead of the contents inside.

* Do I want my mods folder to look like this then?

 

yeah, but the .modinfo inside not outside each folder.

Also, I couldn't fix the troll.zip It has too much files and depends alot on the normal game. Kept getting Access Violation errors.

 

thank you very much for that easy to understand explantion

 

Yeah, I fixed it. Should be working now.

 

Fortunately I was using the bootstrap method before, so updating my mod was as simple as adding the modinfo file.

 

I got mine working again as well (it was a stupid error ,all my own fault harhar)

but since I'm making a race, can someone point me in the direction of this Kawa mod for custom races ? I'm using preset 6 just like very other custom race and I can see this becoming problematic when more and more races get released.

are player.config files overwriting each other still, or is it able to parse and include changes?

 

They overwrite the entire file. The last mod in your mods folder to overwrite it will be the primary one.

Im adding support for Tabula Rasa to all my mods.

Not sure if someone else answered this for you, but your structure is off. You have assets inside of your mod folder, but the way the game reads your mod folder would be that Cjacobs_DS_RIGs in this case would be the assets folder. So basically pull items out of the asset folder and put it right in the Cjacobs folder.

It should look like Cjacobs_DS_RIGs\items\armors\human etc etc etc.

As opposed to how it is currently setup where you have it Cjacobs_DS_RIGs\assets\items\armors\human

The game is going to read this as assets\assets\items etc etc...

 

It should be noted, for modders, that you need to use the proper file structure for your mods now. Simply dumping edited files in your mod won't work anymore. So make sure your structure mirrors the asset structure or the mod won't work.

 

Not 100% true I have this directory:
mods/modname/gun/gunfiles.gunfiles
Still works.
Basically, if you're editing something, you put it in the same structure. If you're adding something new, you can place it in a file called anything.

 

The only thing that matters is your file extensions, for example .beamaxe

You could put all files into a single directory if you wanted.

 

Well, for example: The Ultratech mod, and the Teletech mod both wouldn't work unless I properly structured the tech files. And those were completely new things. Previously this wasn't the case and they could be simply dumped into the folder.

 

They are new things, and I got mine to work by just putting /modName/Telekinesis/fileshere

 

Ah, maybe that was the problem. They dumped their files in the root folder, as opposed to having a Techname folder. Well then, either way you can't use the root folder as a dump spot anymore . Though that should be obvious.

 

Hey it works... Cool Beans thx

 

This new method doesn't merge the .config files.

 

Hmmm... for some reason I can't get custom item to working. I put custom armor while preserving original structure and it's working but I can't get simple stick to working - game hangs on loading screen before even showing main menu.

Everything goes back to normal once I delete .item files from :

Code:

Starbound\mods\mod_MyMod\assets\items\generic\crafting

I've tried dumping it into

Code:

mod_MyMod\assets\objects\stick

but it doesn't load either (and I already have there one custom item that's craftable through furnace and it's working perfectly fine).
What I am doing wrong? Armor in

Code:

Starbound\mods\mod_MyMod\assets\items\armors\myarmor

is working perfectly fine for example.

As for item code, I copied it from previous game version (it worked back then):

Code:

{
  "itemName" : "darkwoodstick",
  "rarity" : "Common",
  "inventoryIcon" : "darkwoodstick.png",
  "description" : "A stick",
  "shortdescription" : "Stick"
}
