Releases / Re: [1.0] Psychology (2018-11-18)

Just some tips for people that are using 1.2 and Prepare Carefully, with the unofficial updated version of this from Steam.  The main complaint I've seen is that there is no button to set the Psychology sliders in Prepare Carefully.  The "Solution" is to just start the game, then go into Dev Mode, and tweak as needed.

That solution doesn't do crap for people like me, that use the same group of people, over and over, as it means every new game leads to WAY to much time spent trying to set those sliders.  And, I have my family as characters, and my family members set the sliders for their characters, so I feel like I can't just wing it.  Using screenshots is a pain, and takes even longer.  But it's a necessary first step.

I found a real, permanent solution. 

Grab Notepad++, free software.  (You can use Notepad, or Wordpad, but they are extremely slow and glitchy when loading save files do to the size, this isn't.)  Now go into your save folder, you want to open your Prepare Carefully character, and your save.  Search their name in the full save, then once there, search "Confident" and it will jump down to the Psychology section.  Copy from there to </nodes>.  Then go into the character from Prepare, and Paste it in, making sure to overwrite exactly, (And back up the folder first, one typo, and that character will not load any more.) then save. 

Now your Prepare Carefully version of that character permanently has the Psychology sliders where you tweaked them in game, and every time you load that character up in the future, it's all set.

(Now if only the Star Wars force powers could be added in the same way.)

Well, I ended up reinstalling windows again when my new video card came, and this time everything worked.  Last time I used the driver disk that came with my MB, this time I downloaded new drivers and didn't touch the disk.  Something was really broken, but I couldn't figure out what, because it was so random what worked and what didn't.  And I'm sorry for my attitude.

Mods I don't want to "play" without...  ::) Not going to say what I think of your attitude, or intelligence in not understanding that it was an obvious typo, as I would get banned.  I bought it on GOG.  As to your "help" I don't have a config folder, as literally nothing happens when I try to run it.  That's why I said I thought I was probably missing something it required to run.  Python, or some random dll.  No clue why, but it doesn't do anything.

:p

Edit:  Just checked Task Manager.  RimPy.exe does show up in processes, but vanishes almost immediately.  I had to try to open it several times to catch it appearing.  Does anyone else run this on Windows 7?  I know 7 is getting up there in age.

Windows 7 64, fresh install, visual c++ and .Net, downloaded yesterday.  Rimworld 1.1.2654 for mods I don't want to pay without.  I don't have anything else installed.  Been to busy unpacking, and only internet is my cell, and my wife's hotspot.

Odd problem.  I'm likely missing required dlls.  So, the first run, I got an error message, googled it, and I needed C++.  No problem, just built new pc, haven't installed most requirements.  Got C++ 64 installed, reboot and try again.  Now, when I run the exe, nothing happens.  Anyone have any idea if I'm overlooking something simple?  Win 7 64.

Any chance of you sharing that shiney new 1.2 update you posted to Steam for us GOG users?

6 Hours work to track down which mod was causing my problem, only to discover the PEBKAC error after tracing it to the Pain Stick item.

Auto Sort left the core mod below the rest...  /sigh

Just putting this here for anyone else that has a glitch from these mods.  Double Check your load order!

My only day off this week, and I wasted what little playing time I had after updating from A19 to 1.1 because I wasn't more careful and trusted the Auto Sort.  /sigh  At least I will be able to play next Monday.

Awesome!  Thanks.   :D

Never done any modding for this, beyond installing other people's work.  How hard would it be for me to edit the normal version of this to make it more reasonable in material cost?  I don't mind cheating and bounce into god mode on occasion, but it just bothers me that one limb contains a pile of materials the size of a small car. 

I'm not asking for anyone to make a cheaper version, just a bit of advice on how to edit it for personal use.  What steps, where the amounts are listed, etc.  I tried looking at a few XML files and got lost.  No idea what I'm looking at, or should look for.

Thought I would throw out a warning to anyone using Psychology with this.  If you alter their psyche you CANNOT save the character, or the preset, and trying will cause a glitch that will require a restart before loading anything at all.  It seems to work fine otherwise, so if you want to save, just edit and save everything else, then just retweak the Psyche every time you load that preset/character.  I wish there was a way to fix the glitched presets though.  My fiance and I spent 2 hours creating our friends, then save/glitch/everything gone.  :(
