Session Tree Colors and Trees without leaves

Lorki · August 29, 2018, 7:08pm

I want to update my Biome and find no way to change the Color of the Trees or to remove the Leaves.
As in the tempered Biome.

Make model variants. Look at the tree json files.

Wiese2007 · August 29, 2018, 7:22pm

he uses the standard trees where the models are included ^^

Right Wiese ^.-

So override the model files, or the entity file and the model files? Either way, you just need to make your own model variants and get those loaded in. If you want different models, you have to supply them. Look at the tree json files for what model variants are being used for different seasons:

"model_variants": {
         "default": {
            "models": [
               {
                  "type": "one_of",
                  "items": [
                     "file(large_oak_tree.qb)",
                     "file(large_oak_tree_2.qb)",
                     "file(large_oak_tree_3.qb)"
                  ]
               }
            ]
         },
         "autumn": {
            "models": [
               {
                  "type": "one_of",
                  "items": [
                     "file(large_oak_tree_autumn.qb)",
                     "file(large_oak_tree_autumn_2.qb)",
                     "file(large_oak_tree_autumn_3.qb)"
                  ]
               }
            ]
         },
         "spring": {
            "models": [
               {
                  "type": "one_of",
                  "items": [
                     "file(large_oak_tree_spring.qb)",
                     "file(large_oak_tree_spring_2.qb)",
                     "file(large_oak_tree_spring_3.qb)"
                  ]
               }
            ]
         },

Lorki · August 29, 2018, 7:31pm

I do not want to use my own I want to use the existing ones but to match the seasons

Wiese2007 · August 29, 2018, 7:32pm

i have checked it he doenst override anything or uses own files - he just mentioned in his biome.json the normal ones from stonehearth - its like an dupe from the temperate.json (he has only added the plants from the desert)

And you have those same seasons defined in your biome json?

Tree jsons have their seasonal model switcher seasons defined under the component of that name:

"stonehearth:seasonal_model_switcher": {
         "stonehearth:biome:temperate": {
            "spring": "spring",
            "summer": "default",
            "autumn": "autumn",
            "winter": "winter"
         }
      },

Note that they are defined by biome. You may have to do something like mixinto "stonehearth:mixins:tree" with your own biome season specifications for the seasonal_model_switcher component.

Lorki · August 29, 2018, 8:15pm

no plan how to do this?
I’ll take a look at the stonehearth.smod and find no example.

Relyss · August 29, 2018, 8:41pm

It’s likely what @paulthegreat says in the post above. The default stonehearth trees specify the seasonal_model_switcher for the temperate biome, you would have to mixinto all the trees json files to add your own biome to that component.

...
"stonehearth:seasonal_model_switcher": {
         "lorki_biome:biome:lorki": {
            "spring": "spring",
            "summer": "default",
            "autumn": "autumn",
            "winter": "winter"
         }
      },
...

Haven’t tested it but it must be related to that.

Lorki · August 29, 2018, 8:44pm

your text is in the sessionswitch.json and this:
“trees:juniper:sapling”:“file(/data/biome/sessionswitch.json)”,
“trees:juniper:small”:“file(/data/biome/sessionswitch.json)”,
“trees:juniper:large”:“file(/data/biome/sessionswitch.json)”,

in the Manifest.json unter mixintos. But the acacias still brown and no change.

paulthegreat · August 29, 2018, 8:52pm

Is it within a “components” block?
Edit: Also, you should just mix it into the tree.json file so it automatically applies to all trees.

Lorki · August 29, 2018, 9:01pm

In stoneharth.json in the mixintos ordner is the tree.json:

{
“type”: “mixin”,
“mixins”: “stonehearth:mixins:placed_object”,
“components”: {
“render_info”: {
“material”: “materials/tree.material.json”,
“scale”: 1
},
“stonehearth:resource_node”: {
“harvest_overlay_effect”: “stonehearth:effects:chop_overlay_effect”,
“harvester_effect”: “chop”,
“description”: “chop_tree”
}
},
“entity_data”: {
“stonehearth:catalog”: {
“category”: “plants”
},
“stonehearth:render_materials”: {
“hud”: “materials/ghost_item.json”
},
“stonehearth:on_destroy”: {
“effect”: “stonehearth:effects:terrain:tree_harvest”
}
}
}

i have absolute no idea where i must do.

I made this as a hobby my job is not programmer -.- dont find a way in this

Lorki · August 29, 2018, 9:08pm

i dont understand why this in the temperate works but in other biomes everything has to be rebuilt

I have this in the tree.json

{
“type”: “mixin”,
“mixins”: “stonehearth:mixins:placed_object”,
“components”: {
“stonehearth:seasonal_model_switcher”: {
“lorki_biome:biome:lorki”: {
“spring”: “spring”,
“summer”: “default”,
“autumn”: “autumn”,
“winter”: “winter”
}
},
“render_info”: {
“material”: “materials/tree.material.json”,
“scale”: 1
},
“stonehearth:resource_node”: {
“harvest_overlay_effect”: “stonehearth:effects:chop_overlay_effect”,
“harvester_effect”: “chop”,
“description”: “chop_tree”
}
},
“entity_data”: {
“stonehearth:catalog”: {
“category”: “plants”
},
“stonehearth:render_materials”: {
“hud”: “materials/ghost_item.json”
},
“stonehearth:on_destroy”: {
“effect”: “stonehearth:effects:terrain:tree_harvest”
}
}
}

do I have to embed the file somewhere in the manifest.json?

paulthegreat · August 29, 2018, 9:24pm

It has to be specified as a mixinto in the manifest.
https://stonehearth.github.io/modding_guide/modding_guide/essentials/mixintos_overrides/index.html

Edit: and the only part you need is the part that’s different, which is the seasonal model switcher component part.

Lorki · August 29, 2018, 9:34pm

I Put this in the manifest.json

“stonehearth/mixins/tree/tree.json”:“file(mixins/tree/tree.json)”,

This is in the tree.json

“stonehearth:seasonal_model_switcher”: {
“lorki_biome:biome:lorki”: {
“spring”: “spring”,
“summer”: “default”,
“autumn”: “autumn”,
“winter”: “winter”
}
},

get this error:

Like I said before, you need the “components” block.
