Modding Questions

[woejoe]

how does one even mod

[hhyyrylainen]

I still haven’t heard of anyone else writing any instructions (or a tutorial video), so all that’s there is, is this wiki page written by me:

It apparently is rather easy to mod simple stuff. But the more complex it gets, the more experience it requires.

Project fails to run C# scripts even though I installed .NET SDK 9 and Godot Mono

Scroll down to the actual error, those are style warnings shown in the screenshot (which should not prevent running the game).

[woejoe]

couldn’t find source file “\Thrive\third_party.…/RevolutionaryGames/stylecop.json” (0,0)
but it’s here

[hhyyrylainen]

The filename that is missing is stylecop.json. Make sure you have initialized git submodules (and updated them if you cloned the repo a while ago so that there might be important updates) as that’s the most likely problem with any build error containing RevolutionaryGamesCommon

Thanks, it worked and project runs now, but immideately pauses with this error message

You should read our most up to date setup instructions:

Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/blob/master/doc/setup_instructions.md

Especially the section on " Native Libraries" as the error message is quite indicative of missing native libraries.

The project only loads main menu scene when you click “Play”.

Can you even interact with anything in the menu?

[woejoe]

no

Is it just uninteractable or does it crash when you try doing anything?

[woejoe]

No, it does not crash.

Every release, it’s going to become less and less helpful until it no longer is of any use.

This is what happens when the game runs into an error during startup. Only part of the code has run so the main menu is not setup properly. If you run the game in terminal / command prompt or through the launcher the game print output should have errors that prevented the game from working.

I always get this I think it’s a c# compilation issue, I remember fixing some of it by using jetbrains even though I dislike it, so that might help some

You said “some of it”, how functional was the game after you used the jetbrains?

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

…barely

however, it would help, and if you’ve only got a few problems it could help a lot. I have more problems but it’s basically all my fault lol

You can supplement eachother with the solutions you’ve found as it seems…
