Spear and Fang

Heyo! I built the shader (that eyeball shader effect) for Gox's most excellent Zoommod. https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/233 (It's not in the video, you'd have to install the mod to see it in action). Anyways, if you'd like to implement the same sort of thing (but circular) in your mod, you're more than welcome to that code.

Perfect, thank you! Just to add to that, a fillet is basically the same as a piece of meat, so most everything related to cooking it is vanilla game mechanics, not the mod itself.

I feel like I woulld need at least one more person to report something similar before I'd even consider it a fixable issue (or an issue with the mod itself). People are playing with so many unique setups. I'm still seeing bug reports of people losing items even in vanilla. Has it happened to you several times? Or better yet, can you recreate it?

I wonder if that was a case of the fillet turning to rot during the cooking process (the expiration process begins the moment that they're on a hook or in a trap, not when you first pick them up), or if you're playing on a server, just one of many hiccups that can occur. If it's easily re-creatable, I can surely track it down. If you logout of the game and back in and it reappears, I would say it's definitely a server/client hiccup.

Aww heck, I'm out of excuses. I guess I'm just going to have to fix it.

So Tyron disabled that wind pushing mechanism by default, and I see that TechRabbit posted this recently: "Need people to test wind pushing", which makes me think that it's turned on (you're on his server, correct?). If so, and wind pushing is enabled, that's going to further complicate things, as I'm assuming that that was turned off by default for a reason.

Seems unlikely to be my mod - That error message is referring to the vanilla survival mod (aka the game itself), not Primitive Survival.

One more thing that came to mind - if you wouldn't mind - I'm assuming that you have a primitivesurvival.json file in your VintageStoryData\ModConfig folder. Could you find "RaftWaterSpeedModifier": 0.2, and change it to like 0.6 to see if it affects your player in particular? It was my understanding that those settings are all retrieved from the server and that changing it client side has no effect, but I'd sure like to confirm that. You'll have to exit the game and restart after making that change of course. Thanks for the info btw.

Hmmm...could it be related to what the person is wearing? Or XSkills, does that mod muck with movement speed? Nobodies using that new movement mod I suspect. I had some people with very different computers test the speed a while back, and it doesn't appear to be machine specific (they both had exactly the same raft speed). On a related note, something dramatic changed with one of the vanilla pre-releases, which prompted me turn the raft speed way down...in hindsight, I believe it was associated with that wind affecting players change, but I'm just not sure...

Can you confirm that that wind affecting players mechanism is disabled for everyone before I dig deeper? I think it was disabled by default in the latest release.

Jakecool's "Useful Stuff" mod has one fyi

Yes, my bad. Sorry! When I was doing some final testing of slippery fish on a trotline/limb line, I had it set to 100% slippery. And I forgot to change it back. I'll post a new release shortly. And....posted v2.6.2 on the ModDB.

I have a theory: The Google execs are trying to slow down Bezos' profits so that they can get into space before him.

@Pamela Wild Yeah I commented on that right next to the download. It's not my mod, it's EVERY mod on the forums, and it's intermittent. Maybe use a different browser like Firefox or Edge, or wait a while. This exact same thing happened a few days ago and I reported it to Tyron. He started an investigation but I don't think he could figure out what was going on. I mean, it *looks* like Chrome security is just getting beefier, but I could be wrong. The forum host (Amazon aws) doesn't have a great track record security-wise, so it could be related to that.

Bump: See original post for download. Version 2.6.1 Updates - testing performed under v1.15.0-pre.12 (unstable) Tweak: Minor change to slippery fish to hopefully make it more predictable (spawnitementity) Fix: Cooking fish eggs death loop fixed - Once again, many thanks @Lisabet

Thanks again Lisabet. With all of your hard work, you should be given the "official VS bug finder" title! Most of my testing was done on pre10 and earlier versions, so I'm beginning to think that there was a serious change in pre12. I'll test tonight and see what happens.

You downloaded Primitive Survival v2.5.6, left it zipped, and placed it in your Vintagestorydata/mods folder, correct? Your logs\server-main.txt probably says why it's not loading, so if I could get a look at that file...

Thanks for the report! I'll see if I can recreate that and sort it out.

New version. Bump! See original post for more info. New: Switched lure, hook, and spike plate molds to the 1.15 pit kiln method New: Added chisel -> metal bits grid recipes for hooks, lures, and bed-o-nails (but not metal bucket handles or metal buckets). New: Added new wood types to raft recipe New: Common configuration file ..\VintagestoryData\ModConfig\primitivesurvival.json to configure raft speed, prevent altars from dropping gold, customize traps and fishing, and more - thanks @Tech_Rabbit @Quixjote New: Fish chunk depletion/repletion, thanks @goxmeor New: Filleting fish sometimes drops fish eggs, either raw or ovulated. They can be eaten raw, cooked, or salted to make caviar. Ovulated eggs can be thrown into water to replete fish stocks in that chunk. New: Slippery fish are back, but a lot less slippery. If they land in water, they will immediately escape and replete the chunk. New: Fish can be thrown in water to replete the chunk. Might make sense for smaller fish (release and catch something bigger). New: Fish eggs can be used as bait. New: Decreased default raft speed New: Polish translation courtesy of @qexow New: Refactored code/leveraged Capsup's VS Mod Template: https://gitlab.com/vsmods-public/foundation/vsmodtemplate - - Thanks @Capsup New: Right click pick up raft - thanks @Papa Cheddar New: fish fillets as bait for traps and fishing - thanks @Ketrai New: more sound effects for fish traps and raft New: Added blood block/portion - creative only item for now, intended for worldgen New: Bald cypress, Larch, Redwood, Ebony, Walnut, Purpleheart wood lantern Variants Fixed: Bug in German language file - thanks @Kiava Fixed: Raft not always reverting to default orientation (raft-north) when you break it - Thanks @goxmeor Fixed: changed POI on pit traps like I did to snares/deadfalls to eliminate the farm life conflict - thanks @Thranos Fixed: Reworked lantern recipe so handbook links would function correctly Fixed: fishing hooks and lures dont smelt back into the original materials but some sub labeled material... (and wont stack with actual metal) - thanks @Tech_Rabbit. Note: This does not apply to the 1.15 releases at all (because of metal bits). Tweak: Added a couple of new configurable behaviors to traps (bait stolen and tripped) to make them less effective (if that's desirable) - thanks @Thalius Tweak: Made it so butterflies can not trip deadfalls, snares, and pit traps Tweak: Made deadfall and snare traps easier to tear down Tweak: Removed Nails and Spikes and everything related to those unused blocks Tweak: Chunk system not unloading the fishing trap block entities correctly - fixed MAYBE? - thanks @Capsup Tweak: Different fish stack sizes - catfish = 16, bass,bluegill,mutated = 64, the rest = 32. Thanks @l33tmaan Tweak: Double the monkey bridge recipe output (yet again) - thanks @Quixjote Tweak: Reworked fillets/fish jerky because fillet satiety in meals too low, fish jerky satiety too low - thanks @l33tmaan, others Tweak: Changed mold descriptions to like Raw blah blah instead of blah blah (Raw) as per game molds

New version. Bump!

New version. Bump!

Yes, that sounds even better (less performance intensive) than adding a listener - just adding more possibilities of what happens when an entity collides with a trap. I'm on it - thanks again!

Hi Pamela, For Windows, you'll have a folder up one level from your mods folder called ModConfig i.e. C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\VintagestoryData\ModConfig In that folder you should see several .json files, and maybe some folders (depending on which mods you have installed). The names of the files/folders will be a dead giveaway as to which mod they belong to. You can edit those json files with your favorite text editor (notepad?), since they are really just text files. A few caveats - don't change the overall structure of the files or remove or add rows, only change the assigned values. i.e. You could change a true to a false, or an integer to a different integer, or a decimal to a different decimal. For example, a number like 0.3 could be changed to 0.5 or 1.0, but don't change it to .5 or 1 - keep the overall "look" of the number the same. Likewise, don't change a number like 5 to 5.5 or 6.0, it's probably expecting a whole number like 6. If things go awry, you could delete the file completely, and the next time you start the game the file will be recreated in that same location with the original (default) values.

Thank you for the kind words and the valuable feedback! I have indeed made fishing highly customizable and I believe that any concerns you've had in the past related to that have been addressed (although finding the *best* settings for your world might be a bit of a challenge) . The chunk based depletion/repletion system will help a lot, as will the reintroduction of slippery fish and their ability to immediately escape. Traps are a different story entirely and are a little harder to reign in because they're simply blocks that damage entities that collide with them, so they depend mostly on what's going on in the surrounding area. An entity would rarely collide with an unbaited trap, and almost always collide with a baited trap because a baited trap is simply a point of interest (like a trough full of food, except that all entities are attracted to it). They seem to be either highly effective or highly ineffective, depending upon what creatures are normally spawning in that area (I'm looking at you, butterflies!). I have added a few customizations for each of the trap types, so simply decreasing the maximum amount of damage they inflict *may* be enough to help balance that out. I'll give some thought into adding a (configurable) percentage chance that bait can be stolen from traps as well. That may really help out with their effectiveness. I will elaborate on some of these configuration settings soon, and others are pretty self explanatory. "AltarDropsGold": true, "DeadfallMaxAnimalHeight": 0.7, "DeadfallMaxDamageSet": 10, "DeadfallMaxDamageBaited": 20, "FallDamageMultiplierWoodSpikes": 25, "FallDamageMultiplierMetalSpikes": 80, "FishBasketCatchPercent": 5, "FishBasketBaitedCatchPercent": 10, "FishBasketBaitStolenPercent": 5, "FishBasketEscapePercent": 15, "FishBasketUpdateMinutes": 2.2, "FishBasketRotRemovedPercent": 10, "FishChanceOfEggs": 20, "FishChunkDepletionRate": 5, "FishChunkRepletionRate": 1, "FishEggsRepletionRate": 10, "FishRepletionMinutes": 15, "FishChunkMaxDepletionPercent": 95, "LimbTrotlineCatchPercent": 5, "LimbTrotlineBaitedCatchPercent": 10, "LimbTrotlineLuredCatchPercent": 10, "LimbTrotlineBaitedLuredCatchPercent": 15, "LimbTrotlineBaitStolenPercent": 5, "LimbTrotlineUpdateMinutes": 2.4, "LimbTrotlineRotRemovedPercent": 10, "RaftWaterSpeedModifier": 0.2, "RaftFlotationModifier": 0.03, "SnareMaxAnimalHeight": 0.8, "SnareMaxDamageSet": 12, "SnareMaxDamageBaited": 24, "WeirTrapCatchPercent": 5, "WeirTrapEscapePercent": 10, "WeirTrapUpdateMinutes": 2.6, "WeirTrapRotRemovedPercent": 10, "WormFoundPercentRock": 6, "WormFoundPercentStickFlint": 16

I made some changes to the pre-release, as outlined below (mostly for my own reference) - Testing under 1.15.0-pre.6 unstable: New: Added chisel -> metal bits grid recipes for hooks, lures, nails, spikes, and bed-o-nails (but not metal bucket handles or metal buckets). New: Added new wood types to raft recipe New: Default raft speed modifier from 0.5 -> 0.2 wth? Fixed: Recipes for new lantern wood types New: Added raft recipes for new wood types Fixed: Eating fish eggs/caviar was a bit of a hot mess PrimitiveSurvival-2.5.7-unofficial2.zip
