> I cannot call that internal class :/

Did you try doing it with strings, instead of using it literally?

Do you mean in combination with reflection? No I didn't.

I was able to do something like this. This is basically how i would like to keep the old logic

Code Select Expand

namespace StorageAreaContent
{
    class MainTabWindow_ZoneInspect : MainTabWindow_Inspect
    {
        public new void DoPaneContents(Rect rect)
        {
            Zone selZone = ((ISelectable)Find.Selector.FirstSelectedObject) as Zone;
            if (selZone != null)
            {
                ZoneInspectPaneFiller.DoPaneContentsFor(selZone, rect); //missing basec InspectPanelFiller settings and functionality
            } else {
                base.DoPaneContents(rect);
            }
        }
    }
}

It this still creates the problem that i cannot reuse the common InspectPanelFiller settings, methods  and attributes for my ZoneInspectPaneFiller class. If i reimplement/copy what is currently available in InspectPanelFiller then i need to adjust my mod if any change will be done from core side. This is what i don't want ^^
What i tried with reflection so far is resulted as well in some kind of access modifier error in the IDE. I cannot call that internal class :/

The thing is, I only want to add some behavior for a selected zone. Currently it just prints the label and nothing else. I would like to put some more information but keep the logic for any other thing selected. So I would not mess up existing stuff, I am quite sure about this

I also thought about changing the calling method in the MainWindow_Inspect class (if I recall it right), but there was the problem with instantiating the internal class. I will check reflection topic. Maybe there is a way.

Hi,

i am quite familiar with java programming for many years now and thought i will start some modding on RimWorld gaining as well some C# experience. Unfortunatly it seems I have a feature in mind I cannot easily integrate due to access modifiers of targeted base classes ^^

I would like to show some more specific information in the inspect window. The class i figured out would be good to use is: InspectPaneFiller.
This is declared as internal class.

Just to be sure I would like to ask if i am right, that:
- InspectPaneFiller cannot be used as base class in my namespace as it is internal in namespace RimWorld (I assume I should not use that namespace in my mod files)
- I cannot instantiate InspectPaneFiller for the reason it is not in my namespace
- I cannot even call public static methods of this internal class


Does this completely destroy my idea of modding the inspect window? I dont want to copy core-content of this internal class, as later core changes need to be included by me then, which is not needed if i could derive it or instantiate it.

Regards Vari
