Latest file for v1.20.4:
BetterJonasDevices-Fixed-v.2.0.2.zip 1-click install


OK, with help from friends and some persistance, this mod is now fixed. I had no intentions of fixing it until I was dealing with a series of bad rift days and really missing this mod. I personally see it as an important accessibility mod as well. I am not sure of the mod authors status, but I'm happy to take this down if they ever want to pickup this project again. I make no promises with maintaining this mod long-term.

Please see the original post for mod information and important links: https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/8272#showchangelog

If you find any issues, use the issue tracker or ping me in the VS discord and try to give as much information as you can, at least so I can make the same bug happen myself.


Also fun fact! The base return teleporters will teleport you AND your elk if you're riding it when it finishes it's animation.

This version is NOT backwards compatible with previous game versions.
Changelog from 1.1.0 to 2.0.0: 

  • re-made 'fogandlight.vsh' transferring over most of the original changes.
  • updated base return teleporter shape files to current basegame version to fix animation issues.

 

Hopes & Dreams:

  • figure out why the config doesn't generate itself

Thank you for taking the time to adopt this mod, for however short or long of a time it may be.

After I did some gearbashin' about I managed to figure out how to get the config function to work, as the mod did not create one on its own. I just had to name the config file 'betterjonasdevicesfixed.json' and I could then tinker around with the values by copy-pasting the config stuff posted at the original mod. Nightvision only highlighting at 16 blocks range and no temporal stability recovery from the rift ward was notable aspects I wanted to reign in from the default package.

Take your time Ket! The fact you managed to update this to 1.20.x is amazing work on its own already! We can wait a bit longer to have it compatible with CO, don't feel pressured.

💬 Ket , Feb 17th at 10:54 PM

OK As of right now this mod is partially incompatible with Combat Overhaul. Only the nightvision overlay and the entity highlighting are broken right now. Everything else should work fine, and the green tint is still removed if you need that for accessibility reasons.

This may take me a long time to figure out, sorry.

UA_Shaman Are you using mod version 2.0.2? If so can you send me a list of the other mods you are using?

💬 UA_Shaman, Feb 16th at 7:15 AM

The NPCs are not illuminated, the illumination of the mask itself is not working properly.
The lower you go underground, the worse the lighting. I hope you will fix this.
We will check all the other devices.

I'm Playing on 1.20.4, this mod seems to cause the new water shader to not work properly, any chance this could be fixed? (or am I just doing something wrong?)

💬 Ket , Feb 14th at 2:31 AM

Junrall As far as I know it's supposed to clear itself, but sometimes it doesn't. So anytime I have a weird issue like 'x is already loaded' I clear the cache manually. Don't worry about the size it will always be big unless you hardly use mods.

💬 Junrall, Feb 14th at 1:37 AM

Ket

Clearing the cache seems to have resolved the issue. The cache was fairly large... is that something that should be cleared once in a while?

💬 Ket , Feb 13th at 9:25 PM

SioxGWolf any version 1.20.0+

Junrall  Not getting any issues on my end. Do you have any other information? Can you try again after clearing your cache folder? (it's in the VintageStoryData folder, you can delete everything inside without issues.)

I'm on VS 1.20.3 and am getting this error after updating to the newest version of the mod. This happens with and without other mods and on a new map:

💬 SioxGWolf, Feb 13th at 6:08 PM

Is this compatible with the latest versions? Or only up to 1.20.0?

💬 UA_Shaman, Feb 13th at 5:53 PM

Thank you, I was waiting for the release of an update for this mod!!!

💬 Ket , Feb 12th at 4:51 PM

Tokamesab Nevermind, found the problem. I'll work on that, thanks!

💬 Ket , Feb 12th at 4:36 PM

justOmi Thank you for the translation, I'll add it next update!

Tokamesab I'll check it again on my side! Was this on multiplayer or singleplayer? Were you using any other mods?

💬 Tokamesab, Feb 12th at 11:09 AM

Teleport returns does not work properly: Teleports the player, but the teleport itself remains in place and continues to work. Game version - 1.20.3

💬 Aeonsteel, Feb 11th at 9:38 PM

💬 justOmi, Feb 11th at 9:30 PM

💬 CKitt, Feb 11th at 9:13 PM

Dude, go figure. I'm halfway through getting it updated to run on 1.20 myself. You just saved me some frustrating work!
