  1. [Alpha] Wurm Tweaker

    Completely understandable. Once this is installed on a server, the next startup of that server will initialize a table in the modsupport.db file (I use DB Browser for SQLite to interact with it). Once that is done, any entries you add to the table will get applied on the following restart. As an example, I added a difficulty override for making lumps through alchemy on a challenge map that I am helping manage (The Winter Expanse). So for each of the basic metal lumps, I created a record in the itemOverrides table, where the templateId was the ID for the item I want to override, in my case, we'll use gold lumps for the example, so 44. Then in that same row in the database, I changed difficulty to 25, which would indicate that (I could be wrong on my calculations here), that with 25 skill, you would have approximately 50% chance of making the item. Ultimately, what this does is remove the need for specific mods for item edits, and instead pull them out to the database, which is much easier to edit, and once you understand the table, incredibly easy to make a large quantity of changes. (I'll try to get some images uploaded of the database entries so it is easier to see what I'm talking about)
  2. I have found altering base mechanics of Wurm to be an exercise in exasperation. The only way to do so has been to learn Java, Javaassist, and other tools for modifying the code. Coming from a web development background, it has been very strange to me that all the data is hardcoded in java files instead of being read from the database. This is my first attempt to fix those issues. I present to you the first in a series of database driven modifications to Wurm! Currently Implemented Item modifications (itemOverrides table in modsupport.db) This is ID based, and works with any items added to Wurm either from the base game or from other mods "Nearly" everything in the table is currently functional Not currently functional fields: imageNumber, behaviorType, updateExisting Coming Soon updateExisting database field (will update all existing items in the world to the new "standard" as defined by the custom overrides) New Item additions Custom Crafting recipes Creature modifications New Creature additions All of this is designed to help map creators custom tailor the experience they desire without needing to bog themselves down with trying to figure out how to translate the changes they desire into mods. This is also my first attempt at contributing to the Wurm Unlimited modding ecosystem, and I hope to continue well into the future. If there are any suggestions as additions or changes to this, I welcome feedback.

But for now, this will be a javascript based implementation as that I what I know the best.
  3. Any ETA for getting the fix pushed out to steam?
