Hello! I reuploaded a new version with recompiled mod per version.

I also tested the mod on my Steamdeck running the 1.5 game with 80+ mods and I was able to open one of my mod testing colony with the whole Diary working. So I expect a good end for this version and for everyone

Oh and if, like me, you also work and play on a Mac with an ARM processor, Harmony has bug on the 1.6 version so there's a temporary 1.6 Harmony lib available. I lost one hour to understand why the heck Harmony wasn't working correctly with the lib until I discovered that... (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3515420793)

Have a good week-end, and good luck for the Odyssey release!

PS: I keep reading the comments in case of undiscovered problems btw

Yeah I tested with the 1.6 build on 1.5 and 1.6 and got no bug. So it should come from something else.
Does someone has some logs remaining about the bugs? I also checked the message about Verse.GenCollection.TryGetValue but this function is always here in 1.5 and 1.6 decompiled code so I suppose something is happening earlier breaking modules loading.

If you don't know how to share me some logs, you can send it through Github if you have an account or PasteBin if not.

@Aamu Ive been using the mod since you uploaded without issue! It throws errors but there is no gamebreaking missing code! I have also been using it in a 400+ modlist! I wouldnt worry on it too much! Most mods that add new UI systems throw errors though!

Thanks @Aamu

Thank you, dilligent mod author

I rollbacked to the previous version until I'm able to understand and fix the issue.

Okay I'm gonna try to take a look very soon. Sorry for the inconvenience! :(

The mod aamulumi.diary (likely named "Diary" or similar in the mod list) is trying to use Verse.GenCollection.TryGetValue, which has been removed or changed in the version of RimWorld/Verse.dll you’re using.

This function does not exist anymore, at least not with the signature the mod expects.

this is wgat chatgpt is saying

I also get the constant ding effect bug and blank diary

so the diary menu does not work in 1.5 anymore. worked just fine till now nut now the menu is just blank. please check, respected mod author

@Aamu No error messages, and there are no mod incompatibilities.

Hello, I am in 1.5 and had the same problem as Sahrel, with the constant dinging noise - there was fire on my home area, but the alert never showed up, only the constant dinging. I also tried to send a plane from my base to trade, but the plane was stuck at the map border - the debug console showed red errors referring to this mod. Loading the save without this mod solved the dinging, and the plane was able to leave the map.

Looks like the mod broke with the 1.6 update, and not just the diary page either - was trying to do an Ideology ancient complex quest and it just won't let me in the complex area when Diary is installed - my people just get booted out of the area immediately and then it's forced into the 24-hour cooldown because it's "too dangerous to go back in" (despite me never going in in the first place... man am I glad I don't play in commitment mode)

There's a few Diary-related errors in the debug mode console, too big to post as a comment here. Any idea where I should put them?

Hello @Sahrel Row, if you enables the dev mode in settings, do you have any error messages displayed in the debug console?

Hello, I've been using this mod for a while, and enjoying it, but recently I loaded up my save and found the 'diary' tab just contained a blank page, no buttons or text or anything. Also, there's a constant dinging noise in the background of my game, like the one that notifies you when, for example, a hunter is missing a weapon. I'm not sure if the two issues are related, but I'm hoping this can be simply resolved. I'm almost an in-game year in this game and it's been one of the best I've had, and I don't want to lose my record of it. Thanks

Hello dear Diary users,

The mod is now updated for Rimworld 1.6. It should work except I got some debug errors caused by Harmony (because it seems not correctly updated for 1.6), so I keep an eye on this.
I also fixed bugs about HTML export, Progress Renderer state after updating mod settings and I added an option in the mod settings to use the event hour instead of the game hour when adding an event to the Diary.

I also read your proposals about new UI, new settings, etc. But I'm currently working a lot in my job and I'm not playing Rimworld since few months so it's not currently in my planning to add new features to the mod. Maybe the Odyssey will give me more motivation about this.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your support, and long life to your pawns!

I just subbed to this mod yesterday as a replacement to RimJournal and i cant seem to figure out how it works...theres no description on how to use the mod.. the mod settings dont really serve a purpose, everything i found in the mod settings can be changed in the diary interface itself.. also, the images used for this mod page show that you can add photos to the diary pages but i cant find any options for that either.. and when i tested the export button, nothing happened. So i dont even know where the files are being saved either and cant find any info to help me figure any of it out...sorry for the rant, i was just very excited to use this mad amd its frustrating me lol

求更新1.6

hanks for making this mod – I really love it! But I’ve run into a few small issues while using it.

1. Every time I edit the diary settings, it loses connection with the Progress Renderer and shows “diary is not connected to progress renderer; if progress renderer is enabled, you have to place it before diary.” I had to restart the game to fix it.
2.Could we get an event filter option?For example, divide the events log into letter and message, just like how it’s done in the game’s history tab.
3.when I click the "plus" button to add a message, the time shown is the current game time rather than the actual event time. For example, if I add a chat "6h Inna joked about poker with Lucy."at 18h in game time, it incorrectly shows [18h] Inna joked about poker with Lucy.
4.Failed to export as html, just like what Farmer Joe have met

"I installed this mod a long time ago, but I had never really used it. There was always something else to do, and I never took the time to write about it. Then, I started a playthrough with scientists, with anomaly settings pushed to the max. Lost in the snow, with temperatures reaching -100°C... (my Lovecraft readings motivated me :p).

And I also discovered something amazing integrated into Windows! Voice dictation. Thanks to that, I can dictate orally into the diary, and I find it very amusing haha.

Some nice improvements:
- A slightly nicer interface. It's functional as it is, but a bit rustic. A true diary style design would look nice.
- The ability to choose the font size (I find it too small; I play on my TV, and it's a bit far away...).
- A handwritten-style font could also be cool.

That's it, thank you! :D

Just released a new 1.5 mod with somewhat similar functionality overlap: RimLog .

RimLog saves data to a text file on your desktop to look at offline later.

Use Diary if you want a more immersive in-game interactive editing experience.

@Farmer Joe : oh I'll try to take a look soon. I'm not currently working on the mod, but I'll keep the issue somewhere.

I got a bug? I think.
if I set file type to .html I can't export. it said the folder path doesn't exist.
if I set file type to .txt or .rtf with the same path, it export just fine.

dope af

@keylocke : Yes ! Somewhere in the mod settings, you have an option to choose what kind of logs must be written automatically.

(I don't remember what name I gave to this option sorry !)

is there a way to automatically write the game event logs to that diary? i just want to see a timeline of events for the playthrough.

@LZIM : if you speak about exporting the Diary in XML, what would be the purpose exactly ? Because when you exported the Diary in any format, you can edit it without any problems. And I didn't have any import mechanism implemented to update back the diary with files.

Another question, have you considered allowing Diary to export to xml so players can edit xml files without leaving the game. (obivously will still require a reload the game to apply changes unless Ludeon decides they can integrate xml changes live)

re: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1272186038

too often editing colony apparel then noticing pawns from other factions with things they should not be wearing like items from Clothing Restoration mod.

@LZIM

Oh okay I understand the idea. I never thought about integrating the diary directly as a furniture, but it could be a nice option.

I'm not actively developing the mod now, but I'll add an issue on Github to keep your idea somewhere if I or someone find some motivation in the future.

Thanks for the suggestion !

For clarification. Again this mod is invaluable but kinda gave up using it by defaults and just turning back the date to the first few dates available and using those as note pads. the original idea was installing a writing desk so that one of my pawns could do a writing bill and I would update the diary with entries about the progress made versus the wonderful spicy events sent by Cassandra.

Hey @LZIM !

Thanks for your comment !

There's an option to stop autologging if you want.
Go to Rimworld Settings > Mod Options > Diary > Set "Automatic log writer filter" to None.

Tell me if there's any problem, I didn't touch the mod since a lot of time.

Silly question though.. why does this mod default to autologging with no option to stop it from adding messages to the diary entries?

Oh my God. I am cry. Finally I can stop forgetting what I wanted to do because I can just type it somewhere in game...

Tbh should I have me colony leader pawn at a writing desk while using it?

Thanks @Deon for your comment !

Good old "notepad notes as playing" in the game itself. I love it. Thank you!

@Aamu Yes, it's working fine now, many thanks for Your work!

THANK YOU, I had been writing on discord and its hard to keep motivation when I have to constantly tab in and out and it feeling like a chore almost

Thanks @Yoku and @Madmaiden !

@Yoku : can you give me a simple example of what exactly you want ? I'll take a look if I'll find some motivation to dev' the mod in the next weeks !

This is amazing. Thank you so much it's exactly what I wanted

This is a wonderful Mod. Would it be possible to make a mark in the text fold for the various events (event / talking) for each entry. Then you can filter the things better

Hey @JageriuS,

Took some time today to work on the bug, and it's normally fixed in the next version (1.1.7).
The fix works for any not latin characters, including Polish characters.

Tell me if you encounter any bug with it.

Thanks a lot for using Diary.

I have to check how is rendered the RTF File. Maybe I use an encoding which didn't support Polish characters.

I added this issue [github.com] to keep you informed when I'll work on it.

For some reason, when saving in .rtf the Polish letters get replaced by some random signs - do You think it's fixable?

I use both you mentioned and I don't have any issues at all (Diary + Mint Minimap).

this mod is not Compatibility with Dubs Mint Minimap，you can not edit if you open the minimap
and when you use linefeed while edit ,there are some sounds.

@Aamu I have uploaded the error log, good luck! LOVE this mod so much!

Hey @chitoseender,

I tested with Designer Shapes, and everything seems to work.
Can you provide me at least what happens and, if you can, the error log ?

I open an issue on Github for you. ( go to the issue [github.com]).

Thanks a lot.

After today's update, designer shape mod was broken with this mod. sry for forgot to copy the error report. When i removed this mod, designer shape can work properly.

Even though I have no real experience with coding, I'm somewhat prone to quickly understand logical stuff. I don't know if I can help you with coding itself, but maybe I can help with rough directions. I'll leave them in their threads in Github.

Hey @Kalmorph,

I took a look to your pics, and wow that's really sick. You got a wonderful idea to submit the log entries to ChatGPT.

About your suggestions, I think they are covered by the Notable Events update I started working few weeks ago (but never finished).
Roughly, I started to add logs on actions that are not logged in the game. For example, I wrote the log for a hunter who is downed during the hunt (you can see template sentences I use here [github.com]).
If this is what you want, you can help me by creating some templates from
this issue [github.com].
If you think this is another thing, you can give me more details about what you want to be implemented in the mod.

Thanks a lot for all of your support, it's very important for me !
