Hello everybody. This is the first time I thought I'd try my hand at creating a mod, but I seem to have into a little snag.
I wanted to add the ability to load a variable for an item from it's xml so it didn't have to be hardcoded into the dll. I found a couple helpful posts about this in the forums here, as well as some good examples about this in a few other peoples mods. So thanks to everybody for that awesome work.
The thing is though, all that stuff was about buildings and the like. When I extend an item or thing class with that stuff it doesn't seem to load anything. Everything else seems to work fine and it doesn't throw any error messages. Does anyone know if this can be done with items or is this extra variable thing only available to buildings?
