[A12d][ModPack] The ModVarietyPack

[Torchwood2002]

I am experiencing a weird bug when installing this modpack. (I'm using a mac)
After installing the mods and modconfig, the game says that the mods are incompatible.
The weird part is this: when I open the modconfig AFTER launching and getting the error, the modconfig only contains the "Core" mod. BEFORE launching, the modconfig lists all of the mods and their order.

Sounds like you aren't launching with the added shortcut.. if I launched the game with the standard .exe file the mods did not load.. Ofcourse, this is on Windows, not mac, and I'm not experienced enough with mac to know what's going on

EDIT: after looking at the install instructions for mac.. Ignore me, I apparently have 0 clue what I'm talking about hahaha

I'm trying to disable the growth of trees like oak (or lock them to a later unique research after Tier III or IV agriculture) which shouldn't be too hard, but I can't find the def where oak trees are at. I found the Core def in the spawning of biomes, but I can't find it in the plants_cultivated part. I tried disabling the base tree, but it causes problems with all the fruit trees. Anyone know where I can find or do this?

My reason is because I hate myself and want to make it a little harder to get wood..

Edit: Actually, I haven't played vanilla in so long, that I forgot it was a vanilla thing anyways. Of course it's only location is in the core.

I've got a same issue here. I've looked into the console log and found that the something is wrong with Community Core Library. I don't know much about CCL but it looks like the function named CCL.detour() or something like that is failing due to the stupid null reference exception...

I also tried to enable mods one by one following the provided ModsConfig.xml order and found out when I enabled the MVP (which is obviously Mod Variety Pack Core) the error occurs. Hope this helps.

A null reference error can happen anywhere, can you guys give some more info? This error seems to be in a part of CCL I'm responsible for.

Are you using win, linux or mac?
Can you please attach the output_log.txt (found in RimWorldxxx_Data folder)?

How do you "restart" and where do i play after i restarted it?

Sure. I'm running the game on Mac(Yosemite, 10.10.5, iMac Late 2012). It sounds like a serious one than I thought so here's an exact Player.log that Rimworld spitted out. I believe the folloing line is the source of the problem:

I'm also downloading the older versions (like 1.23b or 1.22) to see I can run them or not. I'll post the result once I've finished.

Edit: Oh, I found the log says AllowModdedHeads.Bootstrap..ctor () is causing the problem. So I guess I can run the version 1.22 but not 1.23 or later because AllowModdedHeads.dll has been updated in 1.23. Let's see...
Edit 2: Bullseye! I CAN launch and play in version 1.22 without any problems. It has to be the issue of AllowModdedHeads.dll. So I've done my part, good luck bug hunting

Are you talking about using CCL 1.22? I can't seem to find that specific one... I can only find 1.21 and 1.23

no he is talking about the modpack numbers... 1.22 was before the detour to heads was added..

just go to the github page, and scroll down, all the versions are there on the download page

If others are looking for shields,

seems to work fine, I can load and save without issue and they do absorb CR ammo.. they are just kinda limited sadly..

Asked if its possible to have them extend away from the building one more so you can fit a wall there, but I dunno. I really have no idea what I'm doing outside of some easy xml files ^^

Ah.  Silly me.

EDIT: Revenge of the bugs. I cannot place Grow Zones in 1.22. Whenever I try, the measurements show up but I can not actually 'place' the zone. Everything else is running great, no errors messages whatsoever.

You created a shortcut to a shortcut (your screen 5 - D'oh!). It doesn't work that way on windows.
Also, the script deletes itself after you launched it. Move (!) the shortcut created by script to the desktop and launch that. That works.
See this guy and his issue on github. He did the same thing as you. Read that:
https://github.com/simon-82/ModVarietyPack/issues/89

OK i understood the shortcut properties problem now. But I tried to move the shortcut created by script to my desktop (http://i.imgur.com/Qe2wrS0.jpg) and after I launch the game, it creates a new SaveData folder on my desktop again  (http://i.imgur.com/FZ7EmDR.jpg).

The script was left after I closed the script window by clicking the close (X) button in windows, not by pressing any key to exit. However the script was executed and the shortcut was created.

Thanks, that helps quite a bit. I'm afraid there might be some issues with the CCL detour methods on non-windows platforms. I personally have neither the expertise nor access to a mac to get to the bottom of this, but I'll see what I can do.

In the mean time, you should be able to safely delete the allowmoddedheads mod (or just disable) in the latest version of MVP, the only noticeable difference will be that you won't get the new facial hair and scarred heads.

Sorry to say there is no allow modded heads mod, simon put it inside the MVP mod...Will need to delete the dll from the assemblies folder, and from the xml files manually.

[Torchwood2002]

When I'm using the 1.22 version, I cannot place a grow zone. When I try, the measurements show up but the squares do not 'light up' and set.
