damn... sounds hellish. i didnt know.

@J.C. Menton:
The correct way to do this Mod would be to write AddComponentPostInit functions which effect only the pig guards, whose code is a fraction of citypigbrain.lua and pigman_city.lua

I couldn't figure out how to in reasonable time, so instead my quick and dirty workaround was to Always copy the latest versions of those files, add the Same changes and replace those original files as a whole.

This means any official game update to pigs or pig cities would be rollbacked by this mod in the best case or might cause crashes worst case until I copied the latest files again, reapplied my changes and reuploaded the latest Mod version.
=> Too much hassle for me in the long run.
Especially since Hamlet was still in active development at the initial release of this Mod.
And don't get me started about incompatibilities with other mods changing pig behaviour or pig city logic.

question. how much does a code change? my only modding experience that i have is payday 2 and minecraft. i have no idea how this works at the slightest. Thats why abandoning a mod seems sureal to me. (i still respect your choice i am just curious)

I still love this idea, but I"ll have to learn a lot about lua files to try to mod this myself. I wish that Klei had officially done this as I think it's a brilliant idea!

@tengsiti: Please check the meaning of the word 'abandoned'.

I don't update this mod any more.
If other modders pick this mod up an update and improve it then I am ok with that.

I can't use it. it cause the game to crash.

it is useless to my DLC or it break down some times

Mabe it would be more practical to replace torches with morningglories/ nightsticks.

@Kain Morgen if you are not supporting the mod pls add an "[Abandoned]" indication at the end of the mod's title... Maybe another modder would fix it and take care of future updates

@-=bd=- : That is because this mod replaces the whole file of pigvillage, etc. with a modified older version of those files. At this time there was no tinker shop, so that is missing then. I could just get the new file and copy paste the changes, but then again every time something new is added, this mod will crash again.

I dont have the time to fix this now and probably just dont want to do so later because priorities.

There is another mod that makes pig guard torches not burn stuff called 'Pig Guard Fire Safety'. Use this instead. I mean, you wont get the amazing candlehats from pig guards, but otherwise it does mostly the same.

Or feel free, to dig into the code and fix all of the conceptual bugs yourself if you can and then upload the fix into the workshop. I would appreciate that.

If you enter the tinker’s tower (the new shop added to the pig queen island) with this mod enabled, the game will crash.

When i summon my dear tentacles in pigs‘s town，there lies many many many many many many many many many many many many many corkhat ，and some infinite torch。Oh no 。。I just want they always attack me or bat with their COOL AXE ， not anything more。TAT

At present, this mod can not be compatible with SW, because pigs in SW and ROG will not be equipped with props. I think it is necessary to change the torch attack damage of a guard pig into a Tomahawk attack injury. So the guard pig is still equipped with the torch, but it will not ignite the building, and it can also be compatible with SW and ROG.

@Hyxaru: Thank you, that is a very good find.
The code indeed generates a new candlehat every evening.
I tried to find candlehats in their inventory and equip those, if there is none found, then a new one is generated. But apparently the part trying to find the candlehat doesnt work.
Likewise I had troubles to find particular items (especially torches) and delete those from their inventory.

The sad thing about DST is that the existing functions are not commented/documented so often you have to guess a bit what exactly it will do and just try it.

Unfortunately I absolutely do not have the time to dig into this right now and I don't expect this to change within the next two months.
If you want to you can try to fix this issue yourself and if you find a solution I will gladly update.

Okay I can confirm their inventory is filles to the brim with corkhats. They can’t pick up anything else in their inventory anymore because of this. Like I drop an oinc in front of them and they hilariously juggle with it as it keeps getting edjected from their full inventory.
They seem to generate a new corkhat every day. When I started this Hamlet world, I used a skywortht to get in it from SW. Result was that the daycount was already 60+, so I think its why nobody had mentioned it before, as their worlds aren’t that old.

This mod has one (big) issue that I found. The pig guards seem to get a new hat every evening, which is good considering it has durability. I don’t know exactly how, but for some reason torchhats pile up infront of the guard tower. Perhaps their inventory piles up with torchhats, causing them to drop all new ones.

a good mod

@Kain Morgen i love this mod... for real .. really good job :)
however, I think candle hats as drops are OP, specially early game. Could you add some config options so they actually drop torches instead for the people who would like it a bit more balanced pls?

@w000t: You could probably build the tower at daytime. Even if the guard spawns without a candlehat, it should be given a new one after about one day if it has no candlehat at a given time in the daycycle.

There's bug, when I build my own tower, pig is without candle hat.

this mod make game harder

大稽霸: Don't know where your problem is, i used it with a new world and it works good for me, didn't run into any trouble so far. ｢(ﾟﾍﾟ)

@Kain Morgen: I like the Mod! It's such a Quality of Life improvement. Dungeon Raiding day and night finally makes sense, no more burnt loot, no more burnt jungles, the torches were really really bugging me. Thumbs up!

大稽霸: You are welcome to do it better. If you can, that is.

nice!!!!!! Like it

66666Nice man

your thought was good but the mod is noob need repair

Me likey

I support this

@德玛西亚牌辣条 看来你也没弃坑WG啊

nice

Excuse me, can I move your work to Tencent Platform(Wegame)?Because this MOD is so good.I beg your permission very much.Thanks

this should have been in the base hamlet XD

lol I LOVE IT xD

Well, I ended up starting a new world with the mod enabled, and it works as intended. I guess for now it's something just to be done with a new world, rather than added after a world has begun.

Anyway, thanks for replying.

Same as below, enabled the mod on an existing world, and now guards are carrying torches all the time. Disabling the mod doesnt fix this :/

I'll try to fix issues that occur if this mod is not enabled within a world all of the time. But it may take a few days as I am busy with other stuff, too. Thanks for your patience.

A glitch has popped up in my game, the pig guards are now carrying torches all the time, and are without a hat of any kind at night.

优秀

my farm would never on fire at night,thanks

OMG What the smart mind!

Thinking about it: I always started my worlds with this mod already enabled.
If you enable this mod in an existing world, then the pig guards will already have been given a torch to their inventory, which then has to be either normalized or deleted.

Can you tell me if you enabled this mod to an older pre-existing world?

@Kim Jan Woo
Thanks for the report. By Royal Guard do you mean all guards in the 2nd pig city or only special guards in the palace which may appear if you attack a villager there?

I would try to fix this (by either normalizing torches again, or by replacing their torches, too) but more input would be great so I dont have to replicate everything.

the royal guards will drop a 100% torch and it will never be run out.....

ur genius~~~~~~

超越官方系列

thank god,awsome mod,love you

这个想法有点天才啊
