[1.4] Dingo's Mods (Mostly QoL)

As far as HMTB integration they did it like this:

</WorkGiverDef>

From this excerpt we can see that it is prioritised under general hauling (so haulers will only do it when they've hauled things to stockpiles) and it is also in an equivalenceGroup. The construction jobs also have this equivalenceGroup, which is probably why you don't see it as a different order when right clicking a blueprint. I have not looked into it, though, so this is pure guesswork.

All B19 mods updated and tested on the actual 1.0 release.

Please note that I've adopted a new versioning scheme which means you might not get update notifications from ModSync and the likes. I'm using RimWorld's client version as my release version from now onwards to make things simpler.

Hi Dingo,
thank you for your useful mods!

Unfortunately, since the latest update, I have a problem with HMTB where it crashes the game. I also have a lot of other mods enabled though, but I can reproduce adding/removing HMTB causes/fixes the problem. What I get is a game crash on starting a new game, specifically after I have selected the landing site and my starting pawns, right before the actual new game starts.

The game also crashes with my latest save game, interestingly I can load the game (saved during the game night), but the crash then occurs at 6 a.m.

Please tell me if there is any further information you need.

Hi Dingo,
thank you for your useful mods!

Unfortunately, since the latest update, I have a problem with HMTB where it crashes the game

Honestly no idea what any of that is all about. Those errors are not specific to any particular mod from what I can tell. You also have 172 mods running almost entirely from Steam which really doesn't help.

This seems like a weird Linux thing, I assume that's your OS. You should upload RimWorld's log file which might hold more helpful data.

Hey Dingo,

I did a bit more research on the forum and there are actually replies to a similar bug report I filed a long time ago. See this link:
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=37241.msg396864#msg396864

Another mod author discovered the following - could it be you are doing the same thing?

Apparently, this issue occurs when Harmony is used to patch an (implemented) virtual method. Doing this works fine on Windows, but may cause crashes on Unix systems. I recommend any modders to avoid patching virtual methods until this issue is resolved in Harmony.

[Dingo]

That's such a shame... I will revert my recent Harmony changes, then. Thank you very much for the report!

EDIT: I've been notified HMTB Lite is not necessary any more in official 1.0, as they fixed a bug related to construction hauling. The mod is now deprecated.

[Dingo]

A small new mod has appeared: Persistent Float Menus

Float menus (right-click menus) close automatically if the mouse cursor strays too far from them.

This mod lets you set the maximum allowed cursor distance. The higher the value, the farther away you can move the cursor before the float menu closes.

To change the value used by the mod, simply go to the Mod Settings menu under RimWorld's Options menu.

Values below 95 are not recommended, as that is the vanilla limit. The mod defaults to 300.

[jooe]

Well - thank you for filling a gap the developers left open for a long time - even if they closed it now!

[Dingo]

All active mods updated to include Fluffy's ModManager manifest files.

Also did a quick check to make sure all mods are updated everywhere including Workshop, GitHub releases page and Google Drive.

[Skafsgaard]

Hey Dingo!
What happened to Hand Me That Brick Lite? It's off the workshop - how come? Should I not use it? Is it bugged?

Any news to Notifications Archiver being updated for 1.0?  Will it be on Steam workshop?  Thanks for the info!

[Dingo]

The Archiver got picked up by Ludeon for B19 onwards. It's in the History tab in vanilla...

[asquirrel]

Thanks Dingo!  I was checking the game out today and suddenly realized it was added.  I think it is a bit different than yours because it doesn't show messages (just events unless you click on messages too).  Good to see Ludeon paid attention to your great mod!

[Dingo]

They definitely cut some features but overall I think it's integrated fine. They need to worry about performance etc. way more than a mod author.

I dunno if there's any learning helper tip or something to tell players about it, though, which might be an oversight.
