How would i go about giving workers a crafting "button" on the crafting UI?

question that, for once, i suspect is reletative answerable:
how would i go about giving workers a crafting “button” on the crafting UI?
(and make workers be able to craft stuff)
(so i can add recipes to them as per usual with new recipes)

Crafter jobs inherit from crafting_job.lua, so you would need to substitute the existing worker.lua from the jobs folder to make use of it.
Probably a mixinto to the worker_description.json changing the “controller” to point to your custom Lua file, that will mixin from crafting_job.lua (remember to precede the value for the ‘require’ by ‘stonehearth.’, otherwise it won’t find it), plus adding any missing json to the worker_description.json that other crafter jobs have, like the recipe index, etc.

so in rough wording “add all the stuff other crafters have, in their propper locations” and the button then appears auto-magically on the UI?

Err, maybe you also need to add a mixinto for start_menu.json, it has a list of the crafters under one of the keys.

It’s the same error message, but the stack is different, so it’s a different error. In this case your job needs a recipe_list pointing to a recipes JSON file.

Oops, it turns out that you: D

14

well thats odd, it has one.

 "crafter": {
      "work_effect": "smith",
      "recipe_list": "/nordlingmod/jobs/worker/recipes/recipes.json"
   }

because i had anticipated it would need one ( the file is empty except for {} though because i havent given it any recipes yet. though that should not be an issue as far as i know… :confused:

15

It is an issue. It needs to have an empty craftable_recipes.

Derp, that IS my bad, I should have known! (because I had thst like three times before now I think about it - facepalm-

17 
{
"craftable_recipes": {}
}

added this into the recipes file. now the entire game crashes on startup. :confused:
stonehearth.log (3.6 KB)

so its seems there are more problems.

18

more anoyingly: even AFTER removing all the stuff i added, it keeps crashing
i dont even know what happens now XD

19

want to try to find the problematic file (also see what you’re doing xD)

20

well the latest versions (with all the stuff still in)
is here

so you can just download that and try it as a mod. even MORE anoyingly, if i in the user settings turn my mod off it STILL ctrashes on startup
now just de installing and re installing stonehearht…
