I am just trying to start with something simple, I want to change the lighting on how bright my lantern on a stick was. I changed the original file and it worked perfectly, I did all the file ordering stuff like you're supposed to then I placed it in the mods folder. What am I missing?
Not used to the Apple set up but it looks like you have it 'Simple Life Mod\assets\items\..' ect.. Take out the the assets folder in your mod directory. It should be 'Simple Life Mod\items\..' ect.. Your mods folder counts as the asset folder for the mod so you pretty much have two assets folders like that.
ohhhhh really? and yea I assume it's the same. thank you, I didn't realize that and couldn't find a tutorial that explained it.
well no that didn't work. I realized that I was missing the armors folder, fixed that and still it's not working. any other ideas? do I need to edit player.config if I'm simply overwriting files?
What is happening with it? Is the game crashing or the light just doesn't look any different? So you have you folders set up like "Starbound\mods\Simple Life Mod\items\armors\backitems\lanternstick" now? And in the 'Simple Life Mod' folder you have your .modinfo file? It should be something like this. Code: { "name" : "Simple Life Mod", "version" : "Beta v. Angry Koala", "path" : ".", "dependencies" : [] }
Yea I do. And no, the game is running just fine, it's just not making the change (e.g. brighter lantern) I do not have a .modinfo file, could that be it?
That would be it. With out the modInfo file the game doesn't even know your mod is there. So make one named Simple Life Mod.modInfo and copy the code I put in my last post. Assuming that is the name of your mod folder anyway. If that doesn't work you may need to remove the spaces from the folder name/mod name. Not sure if the spaces would cause trouble or not.
