Hello! I’m seeking someone who knows how to code! Anybody want to help code a mod?
i was going to jump in and say i would do it, but i will be helping @Pandemic with some modding so i cant really “take on another job” right now.
but depending upon how big of a job this is a might take it also
I appreciate the offer though! I’m just hoping I get someone who can help me with coding this mod.
what exactly needs to be done?
edit: thinking about it, i better let someone else take this “job”, after all i dont want to get to busy that i cant moderate
EVERYTHING! I tried learning it and I just can’t seem to wrap my head around it. I’ve broken down many other mods and tried to learn from what others have done but I still can’t grasp it. That’s why I’ve considered letting someone else code since I cannot, but I do still want to do the modeling. I love doing modeling work, I’ve actually thought about just lending my modeling hand out if anyone was interested, but I need to focus on my own mod project.
@Feashrind, I think that @8BitCrab meant like what kind of mod is it
Because there will be people who can do JSON, but not that many that can deal with Lua… (Not to mention JQuery for the UI)
And there might be a chance that your ideas can’t be modded into the game yet.
Though we respect if you want to preserve your mod idea in secret until it’s done.
Edit: This gives me an idea for another moding subcategory: request for coders / request for modelers and animators
@Feashrind if you need help with JSON, I can help. I’m still getting to grips with Lua though.
In general if you just want to add more content, or attach similar attributes/effects/etc to content, it’s .json. To create new actions/components/behaviours it’s .lua, there’s also some .js like @Relyss said. But yeah, we’d need to know details to give you an idea…
Just be patient and go on learning
When i first got to mod stonehaerth i had no clue about json and only a tiny bit of understanding lua. it took me nearly 4 weaks just to add some furniture and decoration. I read and read and read mods and the original manifest a hundred times. I searched for functions and references and broke through the walls of understanding lua (reading not writing) and now i got to the point to really do something nice and special on my own.
All the people here will help you understand like they did for myself so ask a lot of questions and you will learn everything you need in a short time.
that is indeed what i meant, i guess i could have picked better wording
Whoops, my mistake @8BitCrab . I should have made that clean, it’s the Alpacalypse Campaign!
Well, this clears up a lot of what I was doing wrong. I would much appreciate your help! What I’m trying to do is add more content in, at the moment I’m trying to add more plants in, but i want to flesh out a whole campaign. I sometimes think my ideas go over the over the top so starting out small with plants seems to be an easy start!
