Managed to figure it out. Used the updated mod tutorial on the wiki and updated framework to 4.7.2 and i also had to add a reference to UnityEngine.InputLegacyModule based on the note in the tutorial that some things had been split up.

Hello, I'm hoping someone could me me with a problem i'm having updating a mod for 1.4

I hobbled it together from an older Britnoth mod for use in 1.0 in 2019 and haven't really touched it since then although its been working up till 1.3. I tried loading it up in the 1.4 branch and it didn't work so i loaded up VS 2019 and tried to rebuild it but it gave a bunch of warnings about framework version mismatches. I changed the target framework from the old tutorial i followed from 3.5 to 4.0 and that fixed the warnings and let me rebuild it again with one other problem.

Code Select Expand

Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) is giving an error saying "The name 'Input' does not exist in the current context"

as far as i could tell from documentation this should be part of UnityEngine and i've got

Code Select Expand

using UnityEngine;
with a reference to "...steamapps\common\RimWorld\RimWorldWin64_Data\Managed\UnityEngine.dll"

If i comment out that section the mod works on the 1.4 branch but its an important part of what it does and i can't figure out why it's not working.

Full section for that code if it helps:

Code Select Expand

public override void SelectedUpdate()
        {
            base.SelectedUpdate();
            if (Find.Selector.SelectedZone != null && Find.Selector.SelectedZone.GetType() != zoneTypeToPlace)
            {
                Find.Selector.Deselect(Find.Selector.SelectedZone);
            }
            if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
            {
                startPoint = UI.MouseCell();
            }
        }

Again, i haven't touched rimworld modding since 2019, so i don't know if there's been changes since then that are causing me problems as im not super familiar with how things work. I mainly just patched it together for my own personal use at the time.

How does one go about setting the order for a new zone or tool?

I created an xml under Patches\Misc\Designations
with:

Code Select Expand

<Patch>
<Operation Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<xpath>/Defs/DesignationCategoryDef[defName = "Zone"]/specialDesignatorClasses</xpath>
<value>
<li>modname.Designator_ZoneAdd_NewZone</li>
</value>
</Operation>
</Patch>

which adds it to the end of the existing ones, but what if i wanted it to be between the existing tools? I tried using <order> but then it just wouldn't show up.

I've tried out a couple of other growing zone mods that are out there, but none of them worked the way I prefer with the uniform growing zone tool from Britnoth's mod.

Since Britnoth seems to have dissapeared, how hard would it be to modify his code to version 1.0? It looks like the uniform growing tool is just a .dll so id prob have to try and extract/rebuild is to see what the code does, as that is the only piece that i really want atm.
