How to create and share mods!

Lafiel

Walt OK, got it.

Lafiel

I got a new problem which shouldn't be: FirstCrewJobPriority (see end of page)
Solved

Walt

Lafiel OverrideIn = <Effects/particles.txt>

You're overriding the particles file, not the priorities file.

Also, I'm working to reduce the number of annoying ../../../ path references in part files to make them easier to mod. Should have improvements in the next version sometime today.

Walt

Lafiel Also, just FYI, you don't actually have to put the priorities in the priorities.txt file. I just did that because I like seeing all the priorities in one place. If it's easier for you, in your mod you can simply do:

FirstCrewJobPriority = 100

Or you can make your own priorities file and reference that.

Lafiel

Walt Argh. Didn't see that.
My will my new path edits until now still work?

Walt

Lafiel My will my new path edits until now still work?

Yes, those should still work fine since I'm not actually moving the priorities.txt file, I'm just providing another way to access that file without having to use a directory path.

Lafiel

Walt Cool.

Froze again. This time the log doesn't help.

Lafiel Unable to find node at path "<Effects/priorities.txt>".

The priorities.txt file is in Ships/Terran, not Effects. I think you've been starting at your code for too long. 😉

Lafiel A humanoid has been spotted entering a teleporting box, the box seems to be indestructible and is able to move anywhere any time.

Lafiel

Walt HUH!?
I see it under Data!!!

Walt

Lafiel The priorities file is at <Ships/Terran/priorities.txt>. Is it possible you accidentally moved the file?

Lafiel

Walt Alright fixed. I think I need a break.

Walt

Lafiel I know how you feel! 😉

Kontra How do you add ammo?

i have wondered the same thing and tried lots of things to add my own custom ammo, but it keeps giving me these errors: Halfling.Serialization.DeserializeException: Deserialization from source "<C:\Program Files\Cosmoteer\Data\rules.txt>" failed. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: The purpose of a call has caused an exception. ---> Halfling.Serialization.DeserializeException: Unable to find source for non-optional field "ID" in source "<C:\Program Files\Cosmoteer\Mods\sky_mod\sky_uranium\uranium.txt>/Ammo".

@Walt I wanted to make a mod but i didnt know how so i went to the wiki that you made and i didnt know how to edit the mod.txt file so iwent to the main modding page but then every other link from there just didnt show any content, are you sure you even finished them? Also i would like the wiki guide to be a little less complicated so if you can change that, it would be awesome.

Walt

Deactivated-Account The Wiki is not done, sorry. It's just not a high priority right now.

Deactivated-Account you use note pad it comes with windows unless you are on a different operating system then you just use its text editor

Walt dont worry, i learned how to do basic mods just by looking through the files. Im actually doing it right now.
