I'm sure it wouldn't take much, probably just rename Wanda in all the code so there's no clash. The real grind is the trial and error to make sure it works. There will be reports of faults and then you have to troubleshoot it, etc. I don't have the time or patience to do that any more, but you're welcome to do it by yourself or bring others into the project. Just make sure you include a link on this profile to the new mod character listing so myself and others can go back to using Wanda again.

thanks man I will

So jump on the Klei forums and post a discussion saying how much you would be willing to pay a coder to fix it. I actually paid someone to turn my pen and paper sketches into digital art because I didn't know how to do it in a way that would work with the engine. The other coders volunteered to help initially, but lost interest as the project progressed, and were no where to be found when Klei introduced their own Wanda and broke mine

This was my favorite char for years. i would pay for this to be updated lol

this the real wanda fr

will this be updated?

wanda mod

really why?

please dont support thebeard777, he is a bad person, and most of the dst youtube scene supports this sentiment

Yes Noah, I know Wanda has gained popularity over the last 6 years, I just don't have the coding skills or time / patience to do trial & error to fix her at the moment. I would be happy for a fan to release a fixed version named Whitney or Wąnda (using the Polish ą character), and then link back to this page from there.

this mod is in 69 collectons

That's a great suggestion E.R.I.N., thank you!

If you're still looking for a new name, I suggest Whitney!

Otherwise, any suggestions? Always open to input from those that use my mods, provided I have the capacity to make changes - which, due to not having the help of those modder friends that helped me at first, is quite limited right now.

I was hoping there might be a way to have her name still be Wanda cosmetically, but in the game code she is renamed. I'll have to see to what extent the renaming of Walter to Waltner took. Otherwise I might be able to use the Polish ą ? I think the actual Mod page in Steam Community can be called whatever it wants, so I can just keep the main page simply as Wanda so it won't be hard to search for her. She has been called "Wanda, Nature's Frenemy" and "Wanda the Druidess" at different times, and I didn't have to change any of the code.

So what will her new name be?

Bare with me guys, 3rd Trimester is nearly finished, at which time I will look at the Waltner mod character to see where in the code he was renamed, and try a bit of trial and error to fix our beloved Wanda the Druidess

So now we know as if it was a fact. A mod character won't work of theres an offical character with the same name.

Yeah, okay I thought they would have the courtesy to name their Wanda something different, but clearly not. Trying to load a server with updated DST (new Wanda) and my mod character also enabled caused a crash for me. This will take me a while to sort out as I'm working today and tomorrow, please don't spam the comment thread here while I try and figure it out and upload a version that doesn't clash

I'll see what happens when they release it, if they clash. If they were nice enough to use name / look / changing appearance idea, you'd think they would at least name her version something different in the code for the sake of compatability with a popular 6-year old mod character

Yea I went back to the refreshed waldner page and they changed it for "compabability with the upcoming character" I guess you don't have to change this character's name but I'd be nice if you did. :)

@Rusty | SkyPaladin
That was was just a joke I thought was funny.
By the way before the official character Wanda comes out you should change the name of this character's name. The last time a mod character had the same name as a new upcoming official one was watler or now walder and that mod apparently had a problem where because two characters had the same name the modded one didn't work for some reason.

Sorry Tar Belt, this new Time-Keeper Wanda that Klei is releasing might have the same name as mine, also wear glasses, and have some funky hair of her own, but the character concept is totally different from mine. If the name / art was in any way inspired by my character I'm flattered. Lets see how Klei's Wanda fits into the game, I'm quite intrigued!

Look MAMaa! I can play wanda early!

Could be worth asking about the code for ripping out weeds on Klei forums. If someone gives you some lines and where to put them I'll add them to Wanda

Yeah I was a bit lazy to go through all the voice script and come up with my own lines. Code is not too complicated, its just a very long file

U should just add new voice lines so she atleast has something else to say, and maybe that she can just rip out weeds

In light of the latest farming update, how should I change Wanda?

Ah, I still need to fix the crash when she uses the lureplant summoning scroll

YES!!!!

Well Star and Zack are both out of the biz, but I did manage to upload a fix for the crash when Wanda harvests from the lureplant, at least.

thank you rusty lol

Thanks man for responding :) I hope to see an update in the future.

Mind updating this for the new patch that Klei released? You can take a look at what "Goat Slice" did with his "Reign of Runts" mod for guidance, since he is the only one who has updated their character mod so far.
Favourite food, new strings on character select and so on?

A friend helped me fix the crash when harvesting plantmeat, but I forgot how to upload changes. For those with basic coding savvy, if you can find the directory with the Wanda mod, (mine is E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together\mods\workshop-549904379 ), find lureplant_farming.lua , edit it with Notepad++ and on line #31 the string:

inst.hibernatetask:Cancel()


Needs to be changed to this string:

if inst.hibernatetask then inst.hibernatetask:Cancel() end

my next task is to do just that. turn it into a chest

Good work, litlej86. It probably had something to do with my attempt to turn the lureplant into a unique sort of chest which she could inspect and harvest without causing the eyeplants to retract. I wanted her to be able to put the lureplant near something which its eyeplants would attempt to eat, and she can gather from it before it fully digests it. I couldn't get it to work properly, so I tried to disable some of the code, but probably didn't do so properly before publishing the alpha release.

so i got her to harvest without crashing.

@Rusty Thank you very much :D It's so wonderful for me. Love your art work.

@Belleina, I'm glad you enjoy her. Sorry I haven't been updating her in a while, I do intend on getting around to giving her a unique speech script soon, but some of the other bugs I'll need help from more experienced modders to fix. In the mean time, don't harvest things from the lureplant when you're playing Wanda, I think your companions can do it for you, then you dry the leafy meat on a rack for them.

Love this :D I'm vegetarian and i love her so much. ^_^ Thank you for making!

i just couldnt get it. its cool i will get it eventually

Yeah, it's not easy, is it? Haha. I'm a father of four, sometimes work 6 days a week to make ends meet, and I volunteer at church on Sunday. I don't have as much time to play, let alone figure out how to code mods any more. Sorry, but unless someone wants to take on Wanda as a project, she's not going to be supported any longer. Enjoy her as is. Sorry I can't be more help

i couldnt do it lol

thanks

Feel free to go through all the tutorials and figure stuff out for yourself, that's how I learned - oh, and befriend some coders too, that certainly helps! The Klei forums community is very supportive, and you can post requests for help with projects which people can volunteer to help you with, that's how all my ideas for Wanda came to fruition, through lots of help. Unfortunately, I'm not much good on my own. Otherwise my idea for Wilma would have also been followed through on, but I just don't have the time or inclination at the moment. Maybe in the future, yes!

Unfortunately I don't play DST as much any more, and most of my knowledge of coding has atrophied through lack of use. What you can do is copy and paste the Wanda steam mod into a similar directory near the one it's currently in (or download the mod from the Klei forums at https://forums.kleientertainment.com/files/file/1347-wanda-natures-frenemy/ ), and make whatever changes you like. You can't just edit the ones Steam has already downloaded for you, because if I ever do end up updating her, it will automatically overwrite whatever changes you have made that's why I said make your own directory for changes you want to make.

Good idea litlej86, it's been a couple of years since I was actively involved in doing any coding for Wanda, and there have been updates to the game itself and probably subtle changes to the code that I wouldn't notice right away (that's why this crash-from-harvesting-lureplant thing started, after an update by Klei), so a lot of debugging, reading through code, trial and error, etc. is required to fix a small thing like that.

is it possible to make the leafy jerky last as long as the regular jurkey spoilage wise i mean

thank you
