Hi all, I had some issues to get the Spawn Items working. I never got the extra row in the menu to spawn items when using the latest version of RP loader. But when I stepped back and used the 2200 with all mods for r22, it worked.
In any way, here is my mod test video. I have not had the time to do a big creative build yet, but I will 
Video in unlisted mode when writing this, will be official on my channel tomorrow (saturday).
Looks neat. That the Spawn entry did not appear is an issue Iām currently trying to fixā¦ Itās a bit difficult though. The library theyāve chosen is kind ofā¦ errrā¦ not handsome? Adding new items when the menu has already been āenchantedā with the evil JS magic seems to not work at all. Iām trying to figure out how to bypass that since we donāt have any kind of proper JS loading (and sadly, much less power than in lua. 
)
Iāll add it to the list of spotlights.
Edit: Good news! I found a solution, I think. Bad news: I really, really hate it.
Alpha 27 didnāt bring any changes in the lua, so weāre good.
For those that encountered errors/non-working spawn menus, Iāve got a dev build of rp and rp_spawn_stuff that could be tested. In theory, the evil hack Iām using should make it possible to add/modify the start menu at any time, it works quite nice so far but a broader audience canāt hurt.
And with this I call it a night. Tomorrow weāll probably see the pattern-replacement-thingy for alternate naming (now that the start menu bug is hopefully dead) and perhaps some sort of simple mod interface. Remember that I have absolutely zero graphical skills, so prepare some eyebleach.
Updates, kind of. Requires the git version, Iām not going to smod these:
mods.rp_hotfix.enable_mouse_panning which re-enables the old drag-to-scroll behaviour."gender" : { "parts" : [ old list as before ], "replacements" : [ [ "search", "replace" ], ... ] }. Iāve updated ascendies with a few nonsense rules. See a few examples of the names below. (Personal favourite I think: āHookol Forsddon, Dork Lord of Ollā)dump inside the config block, you can set an amount of names to be dumped. Example config attached below.What do you mean by an interface? Like a modpicker? And Iāll improve any ui based graphics you want (or that actually look bad) as itās one of the few bits of graphics I can kinda do, still practicing with icons though and havenāt got them quite down yet.
I modified the hotfix to pan when the mouse gets within 20px of an edge in theory. In actuality it is giving errors that _radiant.client is nil and stops the lua from working. Line 24 to be precise. Any ideas?
I imagine a new button in the main menu that reads āModsā or something, which takes you to an interface. There you can enable and disable any (rp-)mod (might needs a restart to take effect, but better than nothing right?), read the description/icons of mods and so forth.
If that works, I would add a new option, which would allow users to configure the mods from within the window. Mods could have their own view (thatās how Ember worksā¦?) that is then loaded to configure it. The changes are then saved back into the user_settings.json.
Youāre calling this on the server side, I guess. Also, I found a few interesting strings in the binary:
.rdata:00F61310 00000007 C screen
.rdata:00F61318 0000000A C get_width
.rdata:00F61324 0000000B C get_height
That means likely somewhere around _radiant.renderer.scene, thereās a screen object floating around with those two functions. Iāll have to brute-force a little to find it.
Edit: Dear Jesus, I think I love decoda. _radiant.renderer.screen has two functions, get_width and get_height. Returns 1916x1054 for me, which seems to be the game view.
Let me guess:
ā[aeiu]ā - any of that characters ( Abelard )
ās$ā - character and all after it ( Oswald )
ātā - exactly that character ( Mystia )
I need to know it for updating 
Wrong. For a comprehensive guide, check out the lua handbook.
Short:
And technically, you can catch-and repeat too, so captures is another chapter you should check out. For example, ["([aeiou])", "%1%1"] would double every vowel.
Remember that this is case sensitive, i.e. āaā is not āAā.
For restarts just do what I suggested and get it disable/enable then reopen the game with a execute command.
That fixed it for the client bug, now Iāve just got to figure out why calling it isnāt working. rp.log is still the same on the lua side right?
Yeah. JS logs into the stonehearth_mod_server.log, the client side (where Camera stuff happens) into stonehearth_mod.log.
Iām currently working on a side-scrolling implementation and it works quite smooth.
Iāll have to take a look to see what you did later then as mine seems to work fine except for the no scrolling part.
On an unrelated note I just noticed that you have a title.
Youāre next on the list, donāt you worry 
You donāt want to know what I had to endure to get it. 
Meanwhile, Iāll just drop this and this, mention this commit and act totally mysterious.
if memory serves, Radiant is running a customized versionā¦ if you had your wizardy hands on that, the internet might just implodeā¦
edit: @Xavion, I had one in mind, but @geoffers747 felt āThat Guyā wasnāt befitting of your most excellent talentsā¦
OK, hacking radiant as we speak. Iām actually still using SciTE as my main editor and good olā grep.pl to find stuff instead of decoda, I guess itās a habit thing. If I could get my hands on anything, it would be the access to the JS devtools.
In related news, I am severely disappointed. Itās been two hours since Iāve released that side-scrolling feature everybody asked for (and the fast-scrolling-key nobody asked for but I thought would make a nice addition) and nobody mentioned it.
Note to self: Hype such things in the future, donāt try to act mysteriously.
Youāre meddling with things I imagine a lot of people (myself included) have no idea about.
Be clear, be bold.
Make sure people know theyāre downloading something that will enable them to scroll with their mouse!

The āgentlyā part is important. Borders have feelings, too. To be more precise, however, Iāve started documenting my stuff on the GitHub Wiki, after Iāve described the config tools of RP Iāll move on to document the mods, starting with rp_hotfix.
That titleās slowly slipping away from you.
I can feel it.
Iāve just done what youāve said!
On a serious note again, as Iāve said in the edit before; Iāve started to properly document this in hopefully not-so-programming gibberish. I mean, āproperlyā as in ādescribing everything carefullyā, not exactly as in ādoing pictured step-by-step manualsā (that should not be necessary? I think thereās a guide to the user_settings around somewhere, perhaps I can wrap up a tool or temporary mod too until the new mod interface hits).
If thereās a question about how to install or configure something Iām always available.
well, I for one applaud your efforts at documentationā¦ one thing I always procrastinated on in my own development projects ā¦
