Cuddles

yeah there are a few modders still pretty active, the great thing about WU is every server is different, if 1 server doesn't fit what you are after you can try another server. as for modding here is a little video I made which may help you get started. Hope you enjoy your WU experience 😃

@Norhiinspired me to be less lazy, so doing some more work on paintings. a nice wooden frame. currently the frame can be dyed, the white area around image can also be dyed separately to frame. changing the image file ie landscape10.png changes only the actual image and has no affect on the frame or border. My current train of thought is to just have 1 model/item for landscape and have an action to change the image. This may not seem realistic or logical but at the same time this is a game after all, a fantasy world and doesn't always need to reflect reality.

they won't release the source code, you are just dreaming if you think they will. I honestly hope they stop doing updates to WU and don't even add that last patch they had in Beta for like 6 months. It adds nothing to the game that is useful IMHO.

well if this is a wurm unlimited server maybe post in the topic for that server. if it is a wurm online server then try the wurm online section. this is wurm unlimited section 😃

ahh sorry I had it in there for testing to make sure it worked, forgot to remove it. removed it now. I do still need to check the sizes on all the others still.

ahh, well spotted, fixed. same link on earlier post. I might also redo the images at some stage with the pixel multiple of 4, might not be today though. Might also change them all to .png but I haven't got any feedback on the file types from people yet.

i just popped on, this is what in game map looks like for me.

do you have it set up with serverpacks mod, do the players have serverpacks client mod installed?

yeah I think i need to redo the model, made it to fit in the window space but I am thinking keeping the size an amount the game prefers, like bdew said multiple of 4, would be better. image sizes multiple of 4 is probably enough without changing model, probably. I love you added frames to the images 😃 took your image and did 1 of them as 420 x 560 pixels, i'll make sure to edit in about the multiple of 4 pixels in the topic.

weird thing is wurmid isnt labeled as unique, the name is but not wurmid.

ahh server is password protected then.

well they aren't in the game, yet. Keep in mind pretty much everything in these mods will be new models the game has never seen before. Still fine tuning some models and adding more to my list. Since using serverpacks I don't want to just release with 5 items and add items 1 at a time later as every time I change the pack it will add another pack file to the clients PC and they can build up as the mod doesn't remove older versions of packs. To give you an idea I do a lot of testing and my current packs folder is over 12 GB in size, obviously that wouldn't happen to people playing normally but it is an extreme example. So the less changes to serverpacks we make the better in the long run.

Ok back to decoration/toys. redid the horsies even though it is hard to tell, previous version had mouse over issues, new ones mouse over perfectly. default colours are very light but has 2 dye areas, like the bed and boats, can dye 2 different areas, 1 can be removed with metal brush and the other needs lye to remove, not going to change that at this stage. horse on right is the default colours, rest are dyed.

sounds like a WO issue to me but what do I know *shrug*

modders can of course make WU great but history shows they will just copy the mods to WO anyway lol

looks awesome bdew, I can honestly say you put in a lot more effort into the project than I would have. The dye ability for just wood and so on, truly does look awesome.

updated to v 4.1 -- bug fix-- QL wasn't being calculated in previous version, so extracting lower ql and adding again would actually add more dye to device than extracted. my apologies.

snuck in a minor update, had a couple of trouble shooting prints which would go in server log that I removed, so not important to update really as they can just be ignored.

at 10 skill you can easily push to 25 ql at 70 skill you can push to 75 at 90 you can spend an hour imping from 90-91. It is all about how much of an improvement the ql has on a successful imp and also the ql reduction when you repair a failed imp, repair skill matters quite a lot at higher levels.\ Example, if you have 70 blacksmith and you are imping something to 75, with low repair skill when you repair a failed imp you might lower the ql more than a successful imp will raise it, meaning you need 2+ successes to every fail in order to go up. If the ql goes up very little (0.05) on a success then you may as well stop imping, if it is around 0.1 then it is not to bad to push that little bit more.

ok as promised, paintings update. added 5 more of each type, I did .png instead of .jpg to see if people can manage that easier or not, either way the additional images by default look like this. window 6-10 portrait 6-10 landscape 6-10

ok paintings mod updated and i changed the 5 default window images to new stained glass ones. left to right, 1-5 They are all free images of actual real life stained glass windows, so shouldn't be any copyright issues with them. Still looking at updating later this week with 10 of each type.

yes, then people can craft the paintings in game with images I put here as default. Ok teaser time again, I did it *cheers* proper stained glass window.

these are server mods, so the server admin needs to do it. If you are a server admin and asking about paintings and changing the images, I might make up a video at some stage this coming week to try and help with that. Probably when you I do an update to include stained glass windows.

nah it's better digging or 1 of those mods, seen it on a couple of servers. issue in their coding of the mod. You can drop a few rocks on the tile and it will sometimes let you then pick em all up in a pile. Otherwise the ones that are actually bugged will disappear on server reboot.

and coming back to 1 of the original ideas. stained glass window, in a way. in reality it is just an image with removed areas, works well in .png but not so much in .jpg as jpg converts the areas to white.
