@Azhrak Nope don’t say anything useful, thanks for posting anyway. :grin: The log gets overwritten each time you start SH, so there’s no need to delete it. :wink:

@honestabelink Ah I didn’t know that, I hope it’ll be changed later on. Otherwise it’s gonna be painful that you have to start up a new game just cause you added one new recipe. :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: hmm looking at your log again, there are stuff missing, like when you’re generating a new world and such (it should be a lot bigger). Anyway the interesting part is at the very end of the log file, there should be some output of memory being used and such too.

I’ll make a new world and see if there is more, It could just be a bug where it didn’t write the log correctly.

64

I see you are running r196, perhaps try updating to the current release r2081.

This is what I am running your mod on and it works just fine… again shooting in the dark :wink:

65

Here is new log file.

66

Paste right over your mason_recipes.json

{
   "craftable_recipes" : {
      "decoration" : {
         "ordinal" : 7, 
         "name" : "Armored Stone Statue",
         "recipes" : {
            "stone_armor_statue" : {
               "recipe" : "file(/recipes/stone_armor_statue_recipe.json)"
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

Looks like you were missing the beginning {
:wink:

stone_armor_statue_iconic.json

"file(stone_armor_statue.qb)"

to

 "file(stone_armor_statue_iconic.qb)"

That should do it, @Relyss pointed this out before :wink:

Okay: new problem

I want to add the carpenter to my crafting classes, I have tried to add it myself, but json validator is saying its all wrong.
I don’t understand validators.

"mixintos" : {
       "/stonehearth/jobs/mason/recipes/recipes.json" : [
          "file(mixins/mason_recipes/mason_recipes.json)" ]
},
{
       "/stonehearth/jobs/carpenter/recipes/recipes.json" : [
          "file(mixins/carpenter_recipes/carpenter_recipes.json)" ]
}
71

Try with
"mixintos" : {
"/stonehearth/jobs/mason/recipes/recipes.json" : “file(mixins/mason_recipes/mason_recipes.json)” ,
"/stonehearth/jobs/carpenter/recipes/recipes.json" : “file(mixins/carpenter_recipes/carpenter_recipes.json)”
}

That isn’t a valid json? I checked it using json lint?

73

When you validate it in jsonlint, paste the entire json file (in this case, the manifest).

Anyway, your mixintos should be all inside the
"mixintos" : {
}

section, don’t make
"mixintos" : {
-one mixinto-
},
{
-another mixinto-
}

because it won’t work.

Relyss is right on both points.

If you insist on checking specific sections you will need a { at the start, and an } at the end. i.e.

{
"mixintos" : {
"/stonehearth/jobs/mason/recipes/recipes.json" : "file(mixins/mason_recipes/mason_recipes.json)" ,
"/stonehearth/jobs/carpenter/recipes/recipes.json" : "file(mixins/carpenter_recipes/carpenter_recipes.json)" 
  }
}

Which you will find is valid

Okay, I fixed that

How do I make stuff placeable on walls? I have the origin set up, and I also have
"placeable_on_walls" : true property in my item_name.json file

am I missing anything?

76

That’s the only thing you need to add.

77

Does the region_collision shape matter at all for the placeable on wall models?

78

Personally, I wouldn’t bother with one as it’s wall mounted

79

I can’t place it? I can create the model and stuff, I just can’t place it on walls.

80

Does your item_name.json look like this?

{
 "type" : "entity",
 "mixins" : "file(item_name_ghost.json)",

 "components": {
  "stonehearth:entity_forms" : {
     "iconic_form" : "file(item_name_iconic.json)",
     "ghost_form" : "file(item_name_ghost.json)",
     "placeable_on_walls" : true
  }
 }
}

Because that’s all you need.

81

Indeedy I do.
Still doesn’t work.

Download for mod if you want to take a look

I may have found the problem. I set the scale to 0 thinking it would just stay the same as voxel model.
Testing to see if thats the case.

edit: That wasn’t the problem, I still can’t place the item on the walls.
