"Ascension mod" or: "Winning DDA: the mod"

[trelatyraelis]

Actually I fixed that already, I’ve updated the release right now

[Malkeus]

Eheh, you went with the bare minimum. I’m gonna keep my version going alongside, I want crystal paths!

Great work, thanks for the new stuff to feed hapless NPC’s too.

[Kyosuke_Yexil]

b8211, i cant ignore this error.

[scanevaro]

^ Getting same error

[trelatyraelis]

Looks like a PK thing that’s already being fixed!

I knew keeping just my core mod was a good idea
you can’t break what isn’t there

[dissociativity]

yup, it was actually fixed by me before the forest trails were even added, delete your old versions before you update guys!
We use Regional Overlays instead of overrides now!

[redivider]

I fixed the forest trails problem by putting in the entry for it, now my save looks fine but are there going to be any problems?

[Malkeus]

I believe the forest trails will only show up in newly generated terrain. So if you’ve explored extensively, you may need to travel a bit to start seeing them.

These dependencies are confusing the hell out of me. There’s folders included in the Ascension pack, but there’s also download links. Am I supposed to move the included folders into the main mod folder? If I don’t move anything and try to generate a world, selecting Ascension adds the three dependencies, but they’re not tagged as _A, which makes me think there’s more steps to the install process than the instructions indicate.

[Malkeus]

There are no longer custom versions of the 3 mods, this just adds content to them. Drop Winning_DDA folder into mods directory, choose the mod ingame and you’re good. The other links up there are to the newest versions of those mods.

[Ambit]

Right, thank you kindly.

[redxlaser15]

I plopped in Winning_DDA but it says I don’t have it’s dependencies. What am I doing wrong? I haven’t installed this mod for a looooooong time.

[Malkeus]

well, you still need to have PK’s, Cata++ and blazemod installed separately. Newest versions are linked in the OP

edit: yeah, no. nyet. nein. done.

[redxlaser15]

The OP? What’s that?

[redxlaser15]

I can’t load into a world because of this DEBUG issue:

DEBUG : Error: data/mods//PKs_Rebalancing-master//pk_regional_settings.json: line 423:9: “forest_trail_settings”: { … } required for default

          }
      }
  },

If PK’s isn’t required then why is it that at some point it was mentioned that it was required?

[redxlaser15]

The magnifying glass only shows the comment I did on this thread.

[redxlaser15]

Ascension says that it needs PK’s Rebalance so it seems to fit in here.

[zzippo]

I had the same problem. The root issue seems to be that the Siyalatas version of PKRM is incompatible with the latest CDDA build, so you need to use the other version of PKRM instead. Here’s how I got everything to work:

1. Pull CDDA Build #8336 using e.g. the game launcher tool (latest build)

2. Install Ascension by clone/downloading it from git and extracting \WINNING_CDDA\ into the mods folder

3. Install the latest version of Arcana by clone/downloading it from git and extracting \ARCANA\ into the mods folder

4. Install the Dissociativity version of PKRM by extracting \PKS_rebalancing_master\ into your mods folder, getting it from the clone/download of https://github.com/Dissociativity/PKs_Rebalancing. The other version of PKRM does not work right now.

Start CDDA and you’re good to go. You only need to select Ascension mod when creating a world in-game, as it will autoselect the other necessary mods.

It may be helpful to include the last tested version of CDDA and commit of Arcana / PKRM in the OP instructions so that we know of a safe version for installation that may not become dated by new commits. Just a friendly suggestion.

[trelatyraelis]

Both versions of PK have been in the OP for a while now, siyaltas’ just happened to be a personal preference back then and it used to be as updated as the main one way back when, then stuff happened that broke compatibility and was quickly fixed by dis’ and it took more to update siy’s.
Long story short: if one version of PK doesn’t work with the latest experimental, use the other. Arcana has only one version. DDA gets updated like 4 times a day.
It’s not exactly rocket science.
