As a Webber main, this is my new arch nemesis.

MONSTER BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my family, their all dead. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

I have tried pasting it in there and it seems to do something, but it keeps crashing and saying it expects <eof> or something near or at the end.

@Israphel That's a bit of a complex question, but I'll try to help. In your custom item's .lua file, you should have a local function called "onattack" -- in that function you'll want to make an if-statement checking if the target:HasTag("nightmarecreature"). If it has the tag, then set the weapon's damage higher, else set it to whatever value you want the weapon to have normally.

Hope that helps you get in the right direction. If you're not accustomed to coding or still lost, I'd recommend posting on Klei's modding forums for more help: https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forum/26-dont-starve-mods-and-tools/

Hello, Mali, can you please help me with something? I am making a mod and I am almost done, but I have to give a item special properties similar to the spider splatter. Instead of spiders though, it's nightmare creatures. I simply don't know where to put the line of code in. It seems all your code for the splatter is mostly connected, and I dunno how to do that.

SNSD?!

at least i don't have to fear if one of her comes on a server

im a webber lover so no

@Relic You are asking me about the art work for the characters? For that you have to draw your character and then edit it into the game. There is a great tutorial on the Klei Forums posted by user TheDanaAddams called "The Artist's Guide To Character/item Modding" which should help you.

Server : WebberDaSpooderKid was killed by JessicaDaSpooderKilla. He became a spooky ghost!

*person joins as webber*

New Player : Huh thats a new character. Is there any dialogue for them?

*Examines Jessica*

Webber Character : MURDERER!!

New Player : .........

*Disconnects*

*le scared Webber running*

Spider swatter bug finally fixed :) will appear when dropped. Hope you enjoy! Get out there and swat some spiders and don't starve!

Thats 3 words...

2 words...

Run
Webber
Run o-o;

this should be eficiant to deal with spider queens hpefully

Is it over yet?

Will this be updated to work with the new beta ?

Is Jessica available to play on just dont starve. Love playing her as DST, would like to use her in DT too :) Thanks

she reminds me of the tv show teen wolf

Looks like it really is fixed. I appreciate all the work you put in to make it happen. Thank you for the quick response! I quite enjoy the character now that I'm able to play it.

Sanity bug is fixed -- It has been replaced by a general hightened sanity loss over all rather than spider-specific. I've tested it and it looks like it's in the clear! For anyone having this problem, please update and (hopefully) enjoy playing crash-free :)

Jesus, this looks official.

The skeleton comment was because of a Bob post ;) but yes, Jessica likes to kill skeletons, so Bob got the swift justice of the Skeleton Swatter delete button.

@Dobby's Other Sock: not sure if you know this but skeletons actually aren't an NPC, and they cannot be killed because they are already dead

Does jessica enjoy killing skeletons too?

Soviet Russia approves killing spiders.

Opened a discussion for the topic. If anyone has the sanity aura bug, head over there so we can talk more!

got the sanity aura error as well last night at dusk on the first night, It did not happen when just running this mod standalone. no other mods were directly effecting sanity so it will be difficult to isolate what is conflicting where, but will try to reproduce

she looks like a spider with eyes like that

Alright, thanks for letting me know! Definitely came from jessica modmain.lua then? Do you have any other mods you are running on that server that affect the sanity aura? If you run it alone with just this mod, does it still break? (Catch a screenshot/print screen of the error if you can!)

I second the observation about it crashing. If it helps, it looked like it crashed exactly when night hit. Given that it does factor some measure of 'sanity' in the error message, I can only assume it's something failing in the sanity switchover in the day to evening transition.

shouldnt it be "spider huntress"

So, when my friend plays Jessica, I end up crashing, saying there's something wrong with the modmain.lua. Something about the sanityaura. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Alright, thank you for clearing that up.

@Kaldar5 - The Spider Swatter is has the strength of a spear, and does x5 damage against Spiders. It still takes a few hits to kill spiders (I did not want it to be game breaking) but it's great when starting a new game for getting rid of spiders/hounds. Late game it will probably be outranked by better weapons, but may still be useful against Spider Queens.

@name so good - Yes, I increased the sanity aura loss per minute x3 of the original values for Spiders/Spider Warriors/Spider Queens, making it more effective against her than the usual aura. Sorry I wasn't more specific! :)

"Loses sanity from being close to Spiders"
I believe Spiders already have an insanity aura of -20 per minute.

Nice look for her!

Does the Spider Swatter do anything specific?
