[Solved] Modding the Pawn Card

[Argain]

Is it possible to mod the PawnCardUtility class to alter the Colonist Creation menu? I tried using an assembly with a modified version of it, but it didn't overwrite during runtime.

[Cala13er]

As far as I know. No you can't, that is hardcoded.

Edit : I did try do it myself for start with more colonists mod.

[Argain]

Hmm, well the MapGenerator.xml can be modded... maybe we could create a class to run the moment map generation is complete? Like a secondary Colonist Creation menu that's enhanced?

[Argain]

In Genstep_Colonists class:

Code Select Expand


public override void Generate()
{
                //Insert new code to run before spawning colonists here!
Genstep_Colonists.SpawnStartingColonists();
Genstep_Colonists.SpawnStartingZones();
}


[Argain]

Soo... I started trying to mod the MapGenerator and got some errors:

ReflectionTypeLoadException getting types in assembly ColonistCreationMod: System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: The classes in the module cannot be loaded.

Could not load class ModdedGenstep_Colonists, ColonistCreationMod from node <li Class="ModdedGenstep_Colonists, ColonistCreationMod" />

Is my mod overreaching the boundaries? Or did I oops something in the xml file?

[Argain]

Tried removing the assembly reference in the xml file, since I just learned it's not supported anymore... but still throwing the same errors 

[Haplo]

One thing you could try: don't use the Verse namespace. Use something other like your mod name or so..
It may conflict with the game namespace..

Could not load class ModdedGenstep_Colonists from node <li Class="ModdedGenstep_Colonists" />

No luck

[Argain]

It says in BaseMapGenerators.xml:

<!-- Hardcoded, the colonists themselves and their zones -->
<li Class="Genstep_Colonists"/>

So, that's probably the cause?

[Argain]

Wasn't that either... tried inserting my own custom genstep:

<li Class="Genstep_ColonistCreationMod" />

at the top of the list and it still threw an error about not being able to load the class. The class is also within its own namespace:

Almost seems like it's mostly just complaining about the ModdedPage_CharMaker class? Wondering if maybe the methods within it are conflicting with existing methods...

Changed all the method names so they can't conflict with any other public methods:

But still throwing the exact same error, so guess that didn't make a difference  Anybody know what "<>c__DisplayClass6" is in reference to? Sure isn't something I made.

Apparently the Load Exceptions were a result of targeting the wrong .NET framework (needed to target 3.5), so got those cleared up... just the "Could not load class Genstep_ColonistCreationMod from node <li Class="Genstep_ColonistCreationMod" />" to resolve 

[Argain]

<li Class="ColonistCreationMod.Genstep_ColonistCreationMod" /> finally no errors! And I am successfully raising a modded form of the Colonist Creation menu after the map generates but before the colonists are spawned... so this is definitely seeming a viable route  will consider this problem 'solved' now and stop spamming this thread lol

[nmid]

Does this mean you can add more colonists to the colonist creation menu?

[Argain]

Yep! And it's something I'll be trying to implement into my Colonist Creation Mod (http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4066.0) eventually... was thinking something along the lines of being able to add more tabs during the colonist creation, or just showing a dialog menu before-hand for selecting how many starting colonists you want. The latter option would be a lot easier to implement.

[edit] It's already implemented now
