Guppycur's Modlets

Evil_Geoff · Apr 16, 2021

I was inspired by the ZombieDayz overhaul by seeing what you can do by compiling mods to create a different world experience. So I'm teaching myself how to create mods and have had some small success (like adding StimPacks and a Lead Lining mod to add radiation resistance to the Power Armor) that work with bdubyah's The Wasteland mod. Because I want a multiplayer game that is more Fallout-ish than that abomination that is FO76.

But making a working turret that uses Frag Rockets for ammo is proving to be a helluva problem Just changing the ammo type from 9mmBall to the 9mmHP rounds borks the animations for the auto turret, and don't get me started here on what happens when I tried to change the shotgun turret ammo to using the frag rockets...

I asked here in the 7D2D forums in the Discussion and Requests for suggestions/help but got nada response. So bdubyah and stallionsden suggested I join your Discord channel so I can pick the brains of modders who might be more familiar with this kind of issue. So, I humbly request an invite to join that.

I do not know if you still monitoring this topic @Guppycur but would like to know how the Ivy and tree's modlets works. From my understanding in other for those block to spawn in the wilderness you need to introduce them in to the rwgmixer.xml file, how ever in those modlets only the blocks.xml file is there. Do they spawn itself into the wilderness that way or I really need them added into the rwgmixer.xml files.

Cheers,

Guppycur · Jul 19, 2021

Oh they'd need to be added to biomes.xml not rwgmixer; and yes, someone would have to add them in to use them. Basically it's a mod that adds new blocks FOR use, not TO use, if that makes sense.

I've no clue if they work with a19.5? .6? Whatever we're on, if they do not, it shouldn't be TOO much of an xml tweak to get them working though.

ZzzSmileYzzZ · Jul 20, 2021

Thank you very much for the reply, Im using the experimental branch and will add them into the biomes.xml file and let you know if they need any tweeks.

Cheers,

ZzzSmileYzzZ · Jul 20, 2021

Ok I see what you mean by For and not To, Blocks works ok.

Cheers,

ZzzSmileYzzZ · Jul 20, 2021

Ok well the Ivy blocks, look like they work ok, however the tree blocks when in your belt you see the tree in question but when you place it on the ground nothing happen, you get the sound that you place it there but no tree, also where you place the tree you cannot place anything there, so the tree is there but no visual graphic. It is invisible.

I can confirm that Guppy Trees work in vanilla 19.5 (and Darkness Falls, since I can't live without them now). I've made some changes to the XML, as well as adding icons, localization, biomes.xml, and blockplaceholders.xml (so you can also get the trees in POIs). I'll edit with a link later (at work at the moment).

For biomes.xml, you'd want something like this:

That'll give you most varieties of trees in the forest biome, palm trees in the desert, and bare white oaks in the snow, waste, and burnt biomes.

Be advised, the blocks.xml in the original download is set so the trees are growing plants (a la crops), meaning at some point all you'll have is the large Guppy Trees once they've matured.

ZzzSmileYzzZ · Jul 21, 2021

Thx a lot, I didn't try yet to add them into the Biome, what I'm saying is that I try to place the block it self, but as I mention you see the tree in your hand but once you place it, it become invisible.

Cheers,

Okay, here's what I've used in various versions of Alpha 18 and Alpha 19. There are some changes, so that the trees will drop seeds and you can plant them, etc. Also included are icons for the various trees/seeds, and localization. See if this works for you:

ZzzSmileYzzZ · Jul 21, 2021

Wow! Thank You very much, really appreciated. It works great now. Now I'm the one that won't be able to live without it as well.

Cheers,

@Cranberry Monster

Mind if I incorporate your edits directly into the upload?

Gouki · Jul 22, 2021

Confirmed, like Cranberry Monster, the mod works on the new experimental A19.6, I made my own changes since it started to crash on A19 and it still works.

By all means, do so. I love your contributions, and just happy to do my part.

Guppycur · Dec 5, 2021

So the plan is to redo the relevant modlets for a20, not update them. Some are no longer relevant.

Gamida · Dec 5, 2021

Make sure the quicker picker upper is working...oh wait that is Bounty paper towels....I meant your GuppysRandomGeterUpper

Guppycur · Dec 7, 2021
