Anyone know how to make change what races appear in each slaver guild?
I can already get my custom race to appear in custom character creation and random encounters in the wilds.
Edit: Fount it. It's in /scripts/ outside.gd and explorationregios.gd
Unlocked character customization would be a Big undertaking, almost too bothersome, you have something like that with the laboratory already, letting you add some mods and what not, so maybe an overhaul of the laboratory system would actually be easier to implement, but from the get go you would need to sink into the depths of coding in GDScript and trust me, takes time and patience. I myself am not even sure how I would even begin tackling that lol.
Follow up: I downloaded the Windows version of the game and see a lot of scripts aren't as packed up there, so I think I have more of a general idea of structure. However I'm still curious about some things. For example the "Faster pregnancies & growup" mod I have installed looks like it should work fine, but apparently doesn't. Have there been some changes in recent versions that might break things like var reassignment in scripts/variables.gd?
Mods currently do not work for MacOS as the mod system currently uses a crude text file parsing system(scripts/mods/modpanel.gd) to edit the files with matching relative paths. It will not report any failures during the application of mods, nor warn of conflicts between mods. Due to the fact that all the game's script files are stored in a .pck file for MacOS, the relative paths do not match and the appropriate changes are not made.
There have not been any recent changes that would break var reassignment. The "Faster pregnancies & growup" mod works fine for me (Windows 7 x64); the changes to variables.gd match the mod. If you managed to overcome of the .pck file issue, then verify that the mod folder is located correctly(Strive/mods/Faster pregnancies & growup/info.txt), as the mod system will only check the immediate sub-directory.
The community currently does not have any active MacOS modders, so we have not been able to overcome issues related to the OS. There is a Discord(https://itch.io/t/284398/discord) where we modders and players discuss stuff. I would appreciate any help you can give towards compatibility with MacOS. If you can find a method of modding the game on MacOS, then I can create a mod system for it.
The inventory system currently uses load() for item icons. Thus only images that use Godot's resource system can be used for items. Don't know how well this works, but someone made a tutorial for adding such images: https://f95zone.to/threads/strive-for-power-v0-5-25-maverik.1136/page-100#post-1...
Otherwise, your other option would be to change load() for image icons to globals.loadimage(), thus enabling the usage of normal image files for items.
The red dots are TextureRects in the map.scn file. The tooltip text and which points connect are stored in explorationregions.gd. map.gd uses those2 files to determine where to draw the lines when you hover over a red dot.
.scn files are not text files and are best edited using the Godot Engine. A new project can be created and Strive can be copied into the project folder to allow basic access. Beyond that it gets rather complex.
Alternatively, once map.scn has been loaded by the game, any script file can be used to create new red dots by duplicating an existing TextureRect.
explorationregions.gd should be fairly straight forward as it is a simple text file . I'd recommend starting from a copy an existing region.
explorationregions.gd only defines the pairs of dots connected by lines on the map.
In map.gd, the function "showtooltip(node)" creates the lines for each exit listed for the zone. The dots are Images displayed by TextureRect GUI controls(https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.1/classes/class_texturerect.html). The position of those controls is what determines where the dot is. The name of those controls needs to match the name of a zone. The only way to get a zone to appear on the map is to add a new control node to the map.scn scene tree.
The following can be added to the beginning of _ready() in map.gd, as a minimal setup for adding a new red dot node:
var newNode = find_node("sea").duplicate()
newNode.rect_position = Vector2(100,100)
newNode.name = "newZone"
find_node("roads").add_child(newNode)
It seems like adding code to map.gd anywhere lead to freeze of the map. Here is my code to the end of _ready()
extends Control
#warning-ignore:unused_class_variable
var mouse_in = false
#warning-
ignore:unused_class_variable
var dragging = false
onready var size = $TextureRect.get_size()
var
offset = Vector2()
var status = 'none'
var timer = 0
var currentloc = null
var newNode = find_node("sea").duplicate()
newNode.rect_position = Vector2(100,100)
newNode.name = "newZone"
find_node("roads").add_child(newNode)
func _ready():
for i in get_node("TextureRect/roads").get_children() +
get_node("TextureRect/towns").get_children():
i.connect
("mouse_entered",self,'showtooltip',[i])
i.connect
("mouse_exited",self,'hidetooltip')
func _input(event):
if self.is_visible_in_tree() == false:
return
if event.is_action_pressed("LMB"):
var eventpos =
event.global_position
var barpos = $TextureRect.get_global_position()
size =
$TextureRect.get_size()
var target_rect = Rect2(barpos.x, barpos.y, size.x, size.y)
if target_rect.has_point(eventpos):
status = 'clicked'
offset = barpos - eventpos
if event.is_action_released("LMB"):
status
= 'none'
if status == 'clicked' and event.is_class("InputEventMouseMotion"):
status = 'dragging'
#centermap('frostford')
if status == 'dragging':
$TextureRect.set_global_position(event.global_position+offset)
So I said "The following can be added to the beginning of _ready() in map.gd."
You have: "The following code added before the beginning of _ready() in map.gd."
Spot the difference? It freezes cause you put local-scope code in the file-scoped portion of the code, which is completely undefined behavior. I tried to be quite precise with my description, because there are very few locations you can put this code in the file to get the expected behavior. Perhaps I was too concise, but I am going to sleep now. The code I gave you only works inside a function and not inside a for loop.
My bugfix is a patch and not a mod, which means that the patch cannot be applied through the mod system.
Make sure that your Strive has no mods currently active. Copy the contents of the patch (minus the change log) into the "files" folder of your Strive program folder. The OS should prompt you to replace the files and merge the folders. If there is a "backup" folder in the Strive program folder, then delete it so that a new one will be made including the patch when Strive starts.
Afterwards you can try to add other mods, though some may conflict with the patch due to the many changes, including to the mod system.
Edit: small mistake
Your question is not entirely clear, but I recommend using Leo's mod(https://itch.io/t/667993/leos-mod) as an example of how to add new items, especially with custom images as icons. The key to that is applying my bugfix patch first, as it fixes many problems related to custom icons. For more detailed help with modding I recommend the Discord (https://itch.io/t/284398/discord), as that is where the most active modders tend to gather.
Unfortunately, some of these effects are scattered throughout the code. For example, the beastkin cat dodge bonus is handled in the combat code that calculates hit and miss.
I've done a quick search and the Tauran milk production seems to be set in mansion.gd during the milking process at end of day. You can change this value for your own version but the endofday() function is so big it is a bad function to start modding.
List of all my mods (currently unreleased):
Alchemy For Dummies - Replaces all alchemy recipes with a recipe requiring one Basic Solution (Breaks game balance, I'll make another mod later to fulfill the purpose behind this mod - avoiding the grind of fighting hundreds of monsters with limited stamina [read as: stress] forcing multiple breaks and cutting into valuable gaming time; this mod was just a quick & dirty one intended to make me smile and get me used to the modding environment while also granting me the satisfaction of never having to farm underground monsters again lol. Why are they so far from town?)
Beastkin Mouse & Rat - Adds the named races to the game via a simple method, and adds custom descriptions for them. Because of how the game is coded, this automatically creates the halfkin variants of each (for those of you that don't know - all Beastkin have a halfkin variant and it's handled automatically by the code)
Combat Preview Fix (Not working, need to figure things out for this one; it's intended to show the exact number of enemies [working] and the highest level of all enemies present [not working at all])
Combat Stress Reduction - Reduces stress gained per turn in combat, as it says on the tin.
Gender Equality - Adjusts character creation for gender equality by allowing almost all options regardless of gender. (minor tweaks required before it's release ready)
I'll be working on a few other things here or there, like rebalance patches and such. I'd love to have a look at the quest log and make a backlog of completed quests, and also rewrite a bunch of questlog entries because coming back to an old save and trying to figure out what's needed is kind of annoying. It's far easier to start over, and that means walking away from whatever amount of effort your put in the previous save.
One other thing I'd like to tackle at some point is changing that intro text that pops up during character creation. I want to move the button and reduce the size of the text window... it really doesn't need to be that big... but those are on the editor side, and I can't be bothered to open Godot right now lol.
The game does not have permission from the OS to create folders/files in the Strive program folder so it didn't create or fill the "backup" folder which is the backbone of the mod system. You should move the Strive program folder to a new location that has more open permissions. Generally the desktop works, otherwise documents folders tend to work. If neither of those work then you can add it to ".../AppData/Roaming/" next to the Strive user data folder.
It seems you resolved your other issue but I will add this for others.
In the bottom right of your mods menu is the path "user://mods/Leo/", this should be "user://mods/". You need to press the button for the path and use the black arrow at the top of the folder dialogue to go up a folder.
As a result of this bad path, a duplicate of the Constants mod was created inside the Leo's mod folder. It's best to delete that duplicate after changing the path in game, though it should usually be harmless.
