…you seriously copy-pasted the mod folder into the save folder, instead of data/mods?

I was joking when I asked if you did that. ;A;

COS_Cecillian · 2015-10-08T23:33:42.000Z

Wait, nvm, nvm. I just put it in the Cataclysm folder, not the save thing. NVm. Just me being retarded again.

Random_dragon · 2015-10-08T23:38:46.000Z

Is fine. Basically, put the mod folder in data/mods. Then go to the save folder, then the name of the save, and edit that file in there that says mods. It’ll list all mods the save uses.

Is there a certain thing you have to use when editing? I used notepad, typed in the mod with rest of them EXACTLY how it was, and nothing happened.

I’ve used notepad and wordpad on it, so…

Make sure it’s formatted right, and has appropriate use of commas?

COS_Cecillian · 2015-10-09T00:20:20.000Z

I added another comma, added quotation marks, put it in right. Is it the spaces?

Does it puke up any errors on loading the save?

COS_Cecillian · 2015-10-09T00:25:09.000Z

No.

Then it should be loading fine. Depending on the mod content, the effect might not be apparent. Any recipes should be accessible immediately if you meet the requirements for learning them, but items, monsters, and new mapgen areas might not start spawning until you venture into unexplored territory, to allow the save to generate more of the map.

I’m wondering on how I could use mounted guns.

I’ve seen tons of mounted guns bolted on cars (Water cannons, Flamethrowers, Hundreds of mounted M60’s) with no idea on how to even use them.

Is there any way to sort items in one tile in alphabetical order? Would be a godsend with 650 volume.

And more importantly - Why cant I find an item with SHIFT+V if its loaded onto a vehicle?!

/ > s > choose between sorting by:
unsorted(recent to first)
Name
Weight
Volume
Charges
Category
Damage

Use the advanced item management features - hit ‘/’ and take the time to figure out how it works. It is WONDERFUL.

Random_dragon:

Should be able to feed from flowers in particular.

Which ones? I’ve tried Mutated Poppy, Bluebell, Dahlia, And Dandelion.

Random_dragon · 2015-10-09T23:53:11.000Z

Huh, odd. Is it winter, maybe?

TheMightyHercules · 2015-10-10T00:07:56.000Z

No, It’s Spring…

Is that the problem?

Random_dragon · 2015-10-10T00:14:32.000Z

Hmm, it should work then. Um…let me get my source-diving hat on. =w=

EDIT: Wearing any mutation-friendly mouth gear, like a long scarf?

    if ( ((p->has_trait("PROBOSCIS")) || (p->has_trait("BEAK_HUM"))) && ((p->get_hunger()) > 0) &&
         (!(p->wearing_something_on(bp_mouth))) ) {
        if (!query_yn(_("You feel woozy as you explore the %s. Drink?"), m->furnname(examp).c_str())) {
            return;
        }

Oops, I’ve been wearing the XL Gas Mask. Possibly for LONG time. And yeah, that was it.
