[Mod] BetterBuild - Build your own World!

Postby SatyPardus » Wed Jan 20, 2016 4:58 am

Heya! After some tests with my own Modtool, i finished a little Test for a mod idea.
What do you think about it?

Sorry about the laags x3 I'm a recorder noob.

############ Update 1 ############
After some tests with my modtool, i decided to make it a little bit more advanced. At that point i dindnt know, that i can do that much.
Worldbuilding seem to become a real thing slowly, but since this is my first modding try, and it is hard, i don't know if i get everything to work.

But when i get it, you are the first who can try it! :D
This first mod should allow you to spend your ingame money. My modtool is just to test, so you don't have that much stuff (SORRAY! :P), but i try to add as much as i can, so the game still feel "real" :)

Yeah. Progress Video 1 (With voice. My english is not the best, sorry)

############ Update 2 ############
Now comes the cool stuff. I added an "Editor cam" so we can fly free and build how we want.
I think this would be perfect for map builders. I think i make two mods out of it. One builder mod and one normal build ingame mod.

Gonna add rotation to objects now. And after that, i look for saving and loading. i hope that works :)

############ Update 3 ############
I made a little Zone Editor. Looks ugly but works so far. When i get this to work i can go with saving and loading! I also already found a way to remove the standard world, to replace it completly.
Sadly this is for 0.2.3b :( So when i'm ready with it, i probably habe to make the Modloader again. And that is a hard task.

Progress Video 3

############ Update 4 ############
Everything works now on the newest version :)
And there is a little Modloader now too! Yay.
So, i'm again working now on the building mod. We will see what is possible :)

Also: I have emailed the dev of slime rancher, but sadly he doesnt aktivly support this modding. So there will be main file modifications. For most people not so easy i think :D But yeah. Maybe i make an installer or something.

############ Update 5 ############
Loading and Saving! Yeeesh :3
Now you can build, save and load your maps. I have not included all Objects yet...that will take a while (I include 411 Objects :) ) so you have a lot to build.
Also the files are really really small. So you can build massive world without worry about the download size (71000 Objects = 1MB download)

This is an awesome mod! Makes the farm a lot more expandable! Do you plan on releasing the mod tool?

Wow this looks awesome, maybe the devs eventually decide to swap the actual system with this one, but limiting the area where we can place things to our farms. Great job, cant wait to see more of your work.
Feel free to add me on Steam if you want to discuss something!

I hope you all have a nice day. ~ Pixel

Once that works, it'll be time to suggest Steam Workshop.

Yeah, Steam workshop would be cool, but then the devs of the game have to contact me or make their own modtool. And i don't think they want someone from outside in their team :P

I just looked on your Youtube channel and Noticed that you have done this in 8 or so Hours and thats just epic i mean i would need 3 or 4 days for something like this and even then it would probaly Bug a lot more than what you have created so far XD

Hehe^^ It's completly new for me, to make a mod. I also have to learn a little bit to read and write CIL Code^^ And that is really really hard. I'm also surprised that i can do already so much, hopefully i can release something already today :3 But the new version scares me, i havent even looked in it yet.

Thankfully, they are not killing the idea of mod support. They're currently focused on delivering the game they've planned for the community, and they say one day the game may receive mod support.
