lol, yesssss — spend your time with family, not farming Santa =P

To hell with chasing santa, thank you!

Update deployed! This was extremely late for the Christmas season -- spent about 2 weeks dealing with hardware/devkit issues. Check the patch notes for more info!

@RedDwarf , That's what I was sure of never hurts to ask. Thank you!
RedDwarf  [author] 22 Dec, 2021 @ 9:38am 
@Grumpy: Yeah, unfortunately modded items won’t transfer unless the same mod is on both servers =(
☣Chaotic☣ 21 Dec, 2021 @ 9:46pm 
I'm sure I know the answer to this but going to ask anyway. Any chance if I put this on 1 of my servers the items are transferable, and I don't have to have the mod on my whole cluster?

MEGA , Thx for that!

Thank you for your speedy reply RedDwarf. I'm looking for a Holiday mod for our Community this year and I wanted to see if you had anything planned since the mod was last updated in 2018 (this year Hallows Eve had a few updates). BTW I love the penguins with the Santa hats are those in the mod or just the hats. Thank you for your time. :steamhappy:
RedDwarf  [author] 14 Nov, 2021 @ 8:50pm 
@Cowdog: Hey there. I don't have much planned for this year. I have a snowball weapon that I've been wanting to release for a while, but that's about it. Is there anything you'd like to see?
Cowdog 14 Nov, 2021 @ 3:26pm 
Hi RedDwarf,
Will there be an update to your holiday mod, if so do you have a time frame. Thank you! :)
RedDwarf  [author] 28 Jul, 2021 @ 4:24pm 
@The ravager: Sure, I don't see why not. =) No idea if/when I'll be free to work on that, though, so don't get your hopes up yet.
The ravager 28 Jul, 2021 @ 3:09pm 
Hey, can you add creatures with santa hat natural spawning (like bulbdogs on Holiday event 2017)
Ɽevenant 18 Dec, 2020 @ 5:42pm 
Well I will say this is very cool! Glad you are doing this for all the events!
RedDwarf  [author] 6 Dec, 2020 @ 7:05am 
Hey Maple — Not much, honestly. Ended up being busy with other projects this year. I do have a throwable Snowball that I want to add this year, though. =) It also has a little mini-game built in — players try to freeze each other. =P
Maple 6 Dec, 2020 @ 12:50am 
any new stuff planned for 2020?
RedDwarf  [author] 25 Feb, 2020 @ 8:07pm 
Hey all: Wildcard is getting ready to remove a bunch of holiday stuff from the game. If you notice this causing any bugs with this mod, please let me know. You can post about it here, or if you want a faster response, you can post in my discord: https://discord.gg/VdKUDqd

Thanks!

Hey guys: I'm working on a fix to the Snowman (some people reported problems under specific circumstances), and I'll try to get a stability patch in place here soon. I'll probably also throw in one or two little goodies while I'm at it, since they're ready for deployment. =)
RedDwarf  [author] 18 Dec, 2019 @ 4:19pm 
That’s a good one! I’ll definitely be updating it in the future.
TheCreatureCollector 18 Dec, 2019 @ 2:31pm 
thought of a new one last night... melting/half melted snowman xD -- tho unfortunately youre not doing a 2019 update but WC doesnt let us KEEP our decorations unless servers specifically implement it in the ini settings... soooo having this helps <3 looking forward to seeing what comes with next years update (maybe we will get it before next christmas? XD)
RedDwarf  [author] 17 Dec, 2019 @ 8:23pm 
Update: Hey guys! I'm not currently planning to update this mod for the 2019 season. It's in a pretty decent place currently, and Wildcard has done an absolutely amazing job with their Christmas event this year, so there's no huge need for this mod.

However, *this mod is not abandoned*! Like most of my mods, I'll update add stuff to this mod as I have ideas, and I'll continue watching for bugs, etc. =)

Happy holidays, everybody!
RedDwarf  [author] 17 Dec, 2019 @ 8:20pm 
@BigStupid: Yep, this mod is totally independent of the event. Everything in this mod will stay until after the event ends.
BigStupid 17 Dec, 2019 @ 12:43pm 
will this mod work even with the event over?
TheCreatureCollector 7 Dec, 2019 @ 4:23pm 
i came up with another idea last night... a mini gingerbread house decor for the table... maybe the size of a dodo so you can see the stuff on it or something. or even gingerbread shaped cookies (decorated or undecorated)
TheCreatureCollector 6 Dec, 2019 @ 6:26pm 
ha! i didnt read very well YAY MISTLETOE xD but yes, decor... things for like fireplaces perhaps, or set on shelf knick knacks... things to hang on walls or doorways or even railings (if thats possible) different ornamnets perhaps a blank tree we can decorate ourselves if possible
TheCreatureCollector 6 Dec, 2019 @ 6:25pm 
sounds amazing! id definitely love to see that, an perhaps some mistletoe an hangable wreaths :3 but whatever you decide ^^ i just hope i get to see it! :)
RedDwarf  [author] 6 Dec, 2019 @ 5:05pm 
Very cool. =) I've currently got a Christmas lamppost that's wrapped in holly, and both holly and mistletoe that can be hung from walls/ceilings, and I made a throwable snowball that lets you play snowball tag -- whoever loses gets a cool "frozen" effect for a few seconds.

What other kind of stuff would you like? Decorations?
TheCreatureCollector 6 Dec, 2019 @ 4:17pm 
I REALLY love this mod, an would really love to see more items :) even if it were just a few~
RedDwarf  [author] 5 Dec, 2019 @ 10:56pm 
Hehehe, we’ll see. I do have a few things made. =)
TheCreatureCollector 5 Dec, 2019 @ 4:38pm 
Will this mod by any chance get updated anytime soon? It would be nice to see some more holiday decorations :3 actual wreaths that arent the table xD
Xelriel 15 Sep, 2019 @ 7:00pm 
Actually, For some reason it's either a graphical setting ( I dont know which yet im slowly testing it ) Or setting it up, Logging out of the server, then logging back in.
RedDwarf  [author] 15 Sep, 2019 @ 5:53pm 
I’ve heard that something broke with the Snowman, I’ll check it when I have a sec. =)
Xelriel 15 Sep, 2019 @ 1:43pm 
Doesen't snow on Ragnarok D:
ElectrifiedAngel 15 Sep, 2019 @ 3:17am 
Snowman doesn´t snow on Fjördur Map :C
RedDwarf  [author] 27 Mar, 2019 @ 9:56am 
Possibly — I’ll check. Thanks! I’ll add you on Steam, too
Xelriel 27 Mar, 2019 @ 7:35am 
Hey bro :D! Long time no talk! Added yeah on Steam if yeah want to talk, But to answer your question, Im on this new map called Valguero, If i had to guess it may have something to do with not used or missing resources?
RedDwarf  [author] 27 Mar, 2019 @ 7:32am 
@Xelriel: Hey there — what map/area are you in?
Xelriel 26 Mar, 2019 @ 3:51pm 
Snowman does not Snow o_o I know there is a graphical setting that messes it up but im on 100% max everything.
RedDwarf  [author] 23 Dec, 2018 @ 6:23pm 
Hey guys, I'm looking into the issue people are having with the snowman. I'm getting reports that logging in near a Snowman can cause crashes for some people. I'm investigating, and I'll have an update out soon. In the meantime, if you have any problems, try removing your snowmen. Thanks!
RedDwarf  [author] 18 Dec, 2018 @ 8:40am 
I’ve been meaning to create a little UI for item-scaling, so you can just type whatever number you want. I’ll look into that. =) And yeah, I would just make min/max size a server config option, so server admins can decide what options are available. =)
Yoleska 17 Dec, 2018 @ 10:03pm 
I disagree about the 25 size. It's perfect for a Christmas tree for our base. I won't complain about making it larger either. The only suggestion I have is to remove the .25 increment. Seems wasteful to me. .5 maybe, or just round numbers.
RedDwarf  [author] 17 Dec, 2018 @ 9:14pm 
@Bob: That makes sense. 25 is a bit too crazy. xD
RedDwarf  [author] 17 Dec, 2018 @ 9:13pm 
@Axenus: I think everything is limited to tribe-members only, but that’s a good question — I’ll check!
Axenus 17 Dec, 2018 @ 3:35pm 
You do excellent work! My server is very happy to have this mod. Does anyone know if I leave the gift boxes without a name can anyone access them? I'd like to leave some gifts for other tribes on the server as well as my own.
Snow 16 Dec, 2018 @ 6:04pm 
Will do.
RedDwarf  [author] 16 Dec, 2018 @ 5:14pm 
Hey Snowcherub, it looks like it's working great on my test server. Could you send me your server info so I can see the bug you're having?
RedDwarf  [author] 16 Dec, 2018 @ 3:36pm 
Interesting — I’ll check, thanks!
Snow 16 Dec, 2018 @ 3:23pm 
@RedDwarf It is the red wreath which I was using prior to the update with no issues. I have it on the stone fireplace and on a wood wall. I placed a new one on a new stone wall and there is still no visible inventory :)
RedDwarf  [author] 16 Dec, 2018 @ 7:46am 
@Snowcherub: Hey there! There’s two wreaths, and one’s just decoration with no inventory — were you using the one that you craft from your player inventory? If so, what sort of wall was it hanging on? Maybe it sunk too deep. I’ll extend the inventory access range on the next update, too. =)
Snow 16 Dec, 2018 @ 2:54am 
Not sure if it is just me but I can't access the wreaths inventory - it doesn't show at all. Thanks for the update btw :)
