Modding Help just wondering

ok thanks

 

well its still not working so if you can send me the folder that would be great

 

At work ATM but I'll have it fixed up around. 10 PM (PST) sorry for getting back to it late

 

hows it coming along?

 

Name this ardiumhead.head

Code:

{
  "itemName" : "ardiumhead",
  "inventoryIcon" : "icons.png:head",
  "dropCollision" : [-4.0, -3.0, 4.0, 3.0],
  "maxStack" : 1,
  "rarity" : "Rare",
  "description" : "Ardium helm visor's are dark and suspicious.",
  "shortdescription" : "Ardium helm",
  "inspectionKind" : "armor",

  "maleFrames" : "head.png",
  "femaleFrames" : "head.png",
  "mask" : "mask.png",

  "statusEffects" : [
    {
      "kind" : "ColdProtection",
      "amount" : 100
    },

    {
      "kind" : "Protection",
      "level" : 31,
      "amount" : 39
    },

  {
      "kind" : "energyincrease",
      "amount" : 135
  }
  ]
}

and name this player.conifg

Code:

{
  "__merge" : [],
  "defaultBlueprints" : {
    "tier1" : [
    { "item" : "ardiumhead" }
 
    ]
  }
}

and name this ardiumhelm.recipe

Code:

{
  "input" : [
    { "item" : "dirtmaterial", "count" : 1 },
    { "item" : "money", "count" : 50 }
  ],
  "output" : {
    "item" : "ardiumhead",
    "count" : 1
  },
  "groups" : [ "anvil", "armor", "all" ]
}

-Make sure to keep png pictures in same folder as the helmet!
-Change recipe ingredients to whatever and make sure to spell correctly
-I changed the crafting table from furnace to anvil because it's complicated to make armor from a furnace...
-Place files into appropriate mod file

Let me know if this fixed it hopefully it works

 

where should I put the player.config file? And shouldn't I name the recipe ardiumhead?

 

Yes!!! ardiumhead, and place the player config in the mod folder ie. Ardiummod/player.config

 

thanks for the hepl but I have one more question: will my current character now how to craft this item even though he is in the final tier? and it still showing up as a perfect generic item

 

Gmod, check the log. Use ctrl+f or cmd+f "error." I simply cannot overstate the usefulness of the log.

As for knowing how to craft it...if it's added at tier 1, they will.

 

Could not instantiate item '[ardiumhead, 1, {}]'. ItemException: No such item 'ardiumhead' this is what i get but I named everything right

 

The log, it does not lie. Toss the file up, I'll see if I can puzzle it out if you're certain you got all the names right.

 

I will doube check and if there if they are I will send them to you


EDIT: here is the recipe file
{
"input" : [
{ "item" : "ardiumbar", "count" : 2 },
{ "item" : "money", "count" : 50 }
],
"output" : {
"item" : "ardiumhead",
"count" : 1
},
"groups" : [ "anvil", "armor", "all" ]
}
and here is the item file
{
"itemName" : "ardiumhead",
"inventoryIcon" : "icons.png:head",
"dropCollision" : [-4.0, -3.0, 4.0, 3.0],
"maxStack" : 1,
"rarity" : "Rare",
"description" : "Ardium helm visor's are dark and suspicious.",
"shortdescription" : "Ardium helm",
"inspectionKind" : "armor",

"maleFrames" : "head.png",
"femaleFrames" : "head.png",
"mask" : "mask.png",

"statusEffects" : [
{
"kind" : "ColdProtection",
"amount" : 100
},

{
"kind" : "Protection",
"level" : 31,
"amount" : 39
},

{
"kind" : "energyincrease",
"amount" : 135
}
]
}

 

The pngs might be an issue??

 

they shouldn't be they are named what they need to be named

 

I'm afraid my request was literal-I'd need to see the file, not a code snippet. Just upload a zip of the ENTIRE MOD and I can probably fix it. Running the code snippet through a parser returns no errors.

 

Okay,I'll be at the home computer in a few hours and will fix things then. But looking at the file names, I see you've named something ardiumhead.head. Use ardium.head

 

ok I will try that

 

didn't work

 

Okay, so I ran the mod and figured out there's a bit more to the problem. The relevant bit of the error log was down a few more lines, it's a JSON error. Give me a few...
