[1.5-1.0] Tech Advancing (1.9.10)

[GHXX]

Looks like a bug, ill look into fixing it when i got time. Im quite busy right now. Sorry!

Hey GHXX, strangely every time I load up my save, the mod settings for your mod resets. Just letting you know

[Beathrus]

Quick question, anyway you can make it where the World Map icon changes based on your tech level? I hit transcendent and my Map Icon is still a tribal tent. ;o;

[GHXX]

I have no idea if thats doable easily, without creating any new incompatibilities. I, personally, don't think that that is a big problem, I would rather focus on extending functionality. Also, isn't the tent a good way to show that you started as tribe and made it up to transcendent?

Yeah, True :/ Mainly I just wanted a shiny new Icon on the map. Because I keep losing my home base because of the other tribe ones around me.

You do know that Rimworld cant read .zip files right? The version you uploaded is just a zip. folder with the Def, Assemblies and About folder.

[GHXX]

Do you know that you have to unpack this mod like any other mod? because browsers don't support downloading folders?

[Hayhorse]

Yes I do, viewing the zip file and extracting it via winrar yields nothing but the three internal folders, no folder to hold the mod.

It should be: (Zipped folder) > (Mod Folder) > (Defs, About, Assemblies)

Not : (Zipped Folder) > (Defs, About, Assemblies)

Edit: This is because Rimworld cannot read .zip or .rar folders, it should be the first path I listed because, when extracting a zip folder, it should pull out a folder containing the other folders, not the individual folders.

[GHXX]

you can do unpack to ******

thats because if the folder was included then some people would mess up the folder path because they have the 3 folders in the TA-Folder in the TA-Folder in the RW-Mods folder, and they wouldnt notice it....

I like your mod, but could you move the configuration stuff into the Mod Settings instead of adding a tab to the main game UI? It would be much tidier.

[GHXX]

What "Mod Settings" are you talking about?
If its added by Hugs Lib then it will be a "No" for now because there isn't a way to do it thats not overly complicated. The way i worked out would include some renaming of files, requiring a second mod-restart after disabling / enabling Techadvancing or HugsLib and i would need two .dll files instead of one.
This might change in the future when HugsLib's functionality gets improved. Sorry.

Would I still get the mod functionality by removing "MainTabDef" folder?
I`m okay with default settings, but do not want an extra button (which would never be used by me) to clutter UI.

edit: also may be add an Letter event notification when Tech level advances?
edit2: oh, nvm, theres already a notification letter.
And looks like it works just fine without adjustable config.
Great stuff, thanks a lot.

Sorry for the late reply:
There are no issues if you remove the Folder, but its advised to change the extension of the xml file that it contains to something like .disabled.
and yeah, a letter is in there already.

[GHXX]

It's Update-Time! Hooray!
There were a few reports/requests which lead to a need for a manual base-techlevel-selection. Thats added now.
The default techlevel-selection is called "Autodetect" which reads the techlevel from the savefile, like before.
I re-updated from A15 and hopefully eliminated most of the MapComponent issues.
If there are any issues, let me know.

Okay, that's fair. I can understand not wanting to rely on a library if you don't really have to.
