for anyone using the mod, you can just use the 1.4 version, at least it worked ok for me in 1.5
Dylan 30 May, 2024 @ 4:24pm 
I gave it a quick test with 1.5 you should only need to update the version / copy the 1.4 folder for 1.5

damn would be ncie to have fonctionning blackboard too and still have leg to tables lmao and have ne material requirement while not magicaly muting students.
And in final in the end combining everything with comon sense.

Nice! ^^ (hopefully Si-Cafe also finds the time to update, the mods looked great together)

Oh yeah that makes sense, see? Tec explained themselves much better

can confirm your patch folder needs splitting into 1.3 and 1.4 folders. As in 1.3 the blackboards defName is "Blackboard", while in 1.4 its defName is "CSL_Blackboard".
TheoryOfMadness 2 Nov, 2022 @ 6:32am 
This doesn't work for 1.3. Works for 1.4
<Operation Class="PatchOperationReplace">
<xpath>/Defs/ThingDef[defName="CSL_Blackboard"]/devNote</xpath>
This will work for 1.3
<Operation Class="PatchOperationReplace">
<xpath>/Defs/ThingDef[defName="Blackboard"]/devNote</xpath>
There should be a 1.3 folder with Patches, and a 1.4 folder with Patches
Capi  [author] 1 Nov, 2022 @ 9:41am 
CSL does not include its textures inside each version folder, those folders only have code (Assemblies, Defs, Languages and Patches), and my mod does the same. Therefore, my mod will work in all versions in which CSL works.

Seriously dude, it's not that hard to understand
TheoryOfMadness 31 Oct, 2022 @ 11:55am 
My point is that it should have 1.3 and 1.4 folders. Your patch works only for 1.4 now.
Capi  [author] 31 Oct, 2022 @ 6:29am 
My mod doesn't even have version folders, it's just textures man
TheoryOfMadness 30 Oct, 2022 @ 8:38am 
Your patch does not take into account 1.3 vs 1.4
The 1.3 folder still has the regular blackboard defName
Capi  [author] 30 Oct, 2022 @ 2:59am 
So, as far as I can see, you only changed defs names, but texture filenames are identical, so my mod should be already compatible :)

I'll do some testing anyway
Capi  [author] 30 Oct, 2022 @ 2:26am 
Nice job mate! I'm on it
Dylan 29 Oct, 2022 @ 2:25pm 
The update is out, most things now just have a CSL_ before the name like: CSL_[OldName] / CSL_Blackboard, etc. the overlays also had some renaming but otherwise it should be possible to make it work, I think ^^
Capi  [author] 24 Oct, 2022 @ 12:30pm 
Oh, I see. Well, my mod is nothing more than a lazy texture replacer, so you do your thing, make all the changes you see fit and I'll adapt later :)
Dylan 24 Oct, 2022 @ 12:11pm 
^^ yeah, I didn't take it that way :D

(I was just working on getting the blackboard working again, made sense to also pre-warn you that it will likely not be a simple version-text update ^^ but it should not be too bad either - I hope :D)
Capi  [author] 24 Oct, 2022 @ 11:38am 
Hey, don't think for a second that I was rushing you. You're a great modder and CSL is a must for a lot of people, but good things take time.

In any case that's good to hear, keep up the good work ;)
Dylan 24 Oct, 2022 @ 11:00am 
It is looking ok, but there are a lot of changes to go throught (including that the biotech blackboard has the exact same name ^^ .. but I make slow progress on it)
Capi  [author] 22 Oct, 2022 @ 4:19pm 
In case anyone is interested I'm waiting for CSL to be updated before updating this, for obvious reasons.
velcroboy333 15 Feb, 2022 @ 3:14pm 
To be honest, I kind of want both.
Capi  [author] 3 Sep, 2021 @ 5:26am 
I'm using rocketman and this mod togheter and I didn't experience any problems. Should be safe.
ophate 2 Sep, 2021 @ 1:59pm 
Just tried loading this in my mod order, and Rocketman throws me an error on load that it cannot patch this mod. Safe to ignore?
Dylan 5 Aug, 2021 @ 5:19pm 
With 1.7.1.1 I added some things that should enable the 'WallBlackboard' to have lesson graphics aswell when together with the Desks: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2557348220/3052863612114077228/
Capi  [author] 5 Aug, 2021 @ 1:50pm 
Crazy, right?
VulpineVandal 5 Aug, 2021 @ 9:55am 
...The desks have legs.... WHAT IS THIS MIRACLE!???
Capi  [author] 1 Aug, 2021 @ 8:21am 
Nice work, that is really useful
Dylan 1 Aug, 2021 @ 7:53am 
I made it so that different things can be 'blackboards' aswell now if they have this in their defs
'<devNote>TeachingLocation</devNote>' and the desks '<devNote>LearningLocation</devNote>' they need the classes aswell of course (see the new neolithic learning/teaching spot) the overlays also work if one is found, see the commented out example for neolithic ones
Si-Cafe 29 Jul, 2021 @ 1:04am 
Great job. Now we can create the perfect classroom.
Capi  [author] 28 Jul, 2021 @ 3:42pm 
Thanks! when I saw that you added the lessons overlays I had already published the mod, but I think it's a great idea, I could put the names of the lessons on a sheet of paper above the desk, should be simple enough.
Dylan 28 Jul, 2021 @ 3:33pm 
Nice work (both you @Capi and @Si-Cafe), let me know if I need to change anything to make it easier to retexture (I am looking into the weird lesson graphic in different directions thing, but my guess would be that you could have similar thing for stuff lying on the desk or something (?) the lessons are just a transparent overlay really)
Capi  [author] 28 Jul, 2021 @ 7:49am 
You were right, I messed up the textures. I've remade the vertical desk with adequate measures, but the perspective makes it still look too large, if you're not convinced I can do it again.

Capi  [author] 28 Jul, 2021 @ 6:26am 
Wow, I don't know how you've done it but you've got a really nice looking blackboard and it's also compatible with CSL lesson textures! And the patch to make our mods work well is awesome, you even renamed my desk correctly.

Now that you mention it, I knew I messed up when I did the vertical desk, let me take a look at it.

Si-Cafe 28 Jul, 2021 @ 6:08am 
I had just you update yesterday, since the number of pixels of vertical desk is different from that of horizontal desk, it will be drawn very large when actually installed.
I think it is better to unify those pixels.
Si-Cafe 28 Jul, 2021 @ 5:58am 
Hello, I released a retexture mod for CSL blackboards. My mod also usually just a retexture mod, but I've patched it so that it interacts well when used with this mod.

Capi  [author] 28 Jul, 2021 @ 2:42am 
I'm glad you like it, it's hard to make a blackboard that looks good in the Rimworld perspective, so I went for a different approach.
Miss Bonafide 28 Jul, 2021 @ 1:28am 
You have no idea how long I've been waiting for someone to re-texture this blackboard as well as the cribs from either of the children mods. Thank you!
Capi  [author] 27 Jul, 2021 @ 10:01am 
Hey @Si-Cafe, I already updated. But no rush ;)
Capi  [author] 27 Jul, 2021 @ 9:03am 
Thank you!, let me know when you publish your mod
Si-Cafe 27 Jul, 2021 @ 9:02am 
Thank you very much. No need to rush. I'm really looking forward to your other mod projects.
Capi  [author] 27 Jul, 2021 @ 8:52am 
No problem, I don't even remember why I did it that way. I'm finishing another mod tho so it might take a while.
Si-Cafe 27 Jul, 2021 @ 8:29am 
And, could you please change it so that it becomes a desk even when it is vertical?
I would like to create patch so that your desk works well with my blackboard.
Capi  [author] 27 Jul, 2021 @ 8:25am 
@Si-Cafe I look forward to seeing your mod, I think it's a great idea to combine a well designed blackboard with a good desk.
Si-Cafe 27 Jul, 2021 @ 8:13am 
Oh, I also created a retexture mod for the CSL blackboard, but I didn't know there was such a great mod. The idea of this desk is really greats.
I haven't released it yet, but I think it would be great if use with my blackboard.

Nice work bro!
Capi  [author] 26 Jul, 2021 @ 4:47am 
It should be compatible as long as CSL is, this is just a retexture
Arswind 26 Jul, 2021 @ 2:28am 
1.2?
ProfZelonka 25 Jul, 2021 @ 6:15pm 
Beautiful! Thanks!
