Knapster

Thank you so much for making this mod! I'm disabled and have poor motor control as a result; as well as being prone to muscle jerks, spasms, etc. Knapping in game was so difficult with my health and only about half my clicks were ever where I meant them to be while knapping. This makes it so much easier and really spares me the struggle that my actual physical condition entails. 

Thank you!

No, I think it was something else.

I had never had problems with Knapster and now I got two-three random freezes and then crashes when smelting/heating items, referencing Knapster in the log.....for the time being I disabled SmithingPlus (even though it wasn't referenced) and I'll see if it happens again.

I'll create a ticket on Github when it does.

Kinda was unsure if it's really Knapster, that's why I asked Apache, but I totally get his point about not wanting people spam the comments here with logs, it isn't really the place for it.

Was it a VAO leak, ShindonMirk?

Been wondering if it's just us. So far no one has opened an issue. I got locked out of my GitHub when my last computer died, so I was hoping. Guess I'll have to get a new loging.

Fair point.

I'll keep that in mind. For the moment I'll wait and see if it happens again, because it was kinda random.

ShindonMirk, you can do what I've asked you to do, and create a ticket. I will never read any stack traces that are spammed to my comments here.

It's in beg red, bold, block capital lettering.

I didn't write that for no reason.

I don't need this mod myself, but always happy to see the community trying to make the games they love more accessible! Kudos 👍

ThirtySix, added in 2.14.0

<3

Frankly a must have. I love the game and I love it's in-world crafting system, but frankly it loses it's charm after you play tens of hours. Brilliant work.

Hi Apache, we have the knapster mod on our server the old people.
Where we are trying to whitelist it for certain people as not everyone wants to use this.
Now we managed to add 1 person, but when we want to whitelist other users we get a exception error.
Not sure if it would be possible or what logs you would require to figure out what could be causing this.

DilanRona, this isn't a bug. The mod has never worked with that mod. It was never written to.

would it be possible to add compatibility to Doughforming with the 

Art Of Cooking mod???

Bug report:

Knapster not returning voxels recovered from smithing. Using Knapster version 2.13.2 and anvilmetalrecoveryrevived (for v1.20.0-rc.6), on Vintage Story 1.20.3.

Suros, here's the issue tracker for it: https://github.com/anegostudios/VintageStory-Issues/issues/5252

To anyone using a bleeding edge distro, it may be a good idea to hold off on glibc updates. A regression came down the pipe that breaks this and a few other mods. Version 2.40 is the last known working version.

i mean they want to use vanilla knapping not the mod version. But even after blacklisting them they still have the mod version.

SalazarWindriver, you can't disable knapping in general, only the effects of this mod. Everyone will always be able to knap, as they would be able to in the vanilla game.

How do I disable knapping for a player on a server?  I added them to the blacklist and they logged but they can still use it

@III, Have you selected F and autofill? That fixed the problem for me.

I cant seem to use the clayforming feature for some reason. commands i used in the order i used them:
/knapster scope global

/knapster clayforming mode enabled

/knapster knapping mode enabled

/knapster clayforming voxels 8

/knapster knapping voxels 8

after doing these commands the knapping works but not theclayforming. i assume this isnt a bug, because i had this same issues with a much earlier version of the mod. do the two features work different?

This is very cool. Thank you!💯

Thanks for the updates, totally understand how that goes :D

Thanks for updating this mod.

HoosierDaddy, I broke something, fixed it, broke it again to show how it was broken, and forgot to fix it before release. My fault. Should be good now.

For the meme?

Just a reminder that I cannot do anything with bug reports in the comments here. If you have an issue with the mod, then submit an issue in the issue tracker provided; giving full details of the error, and a zipped copy of your logs folder. Without that, your bug will never be fixed, and your mod will remain broken, and unusable.

Trying to add people to a blacklist and getting this error. "Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help 😀 Sorry, I thought this was human error. I will post it.

The mod doesn't respect item rotation during smithing.

First off. Love this mod. It makes the game so much more enjoyable.

I just updated and now I don't have the auto function anymore for claymaking. To be clear I updated my mods. I was already running 1.20 with the old version of knapster.

I updated a few mods so maybe else something is interfering. :(

Edit: reverted to the last version and all works well

Without this mod I don't think I'd be able to enjoy vintage story (I've got nerve damage and arthritis) as much as I do
Thank you so so so much for making a mod which makes the game accessible to people it normally wouldn't be
I really appreciate the update for the new content 😊🧡

It's funny how many people are talking about needing an update. I played 1.20 with Knapster 2.9.4 without any problem.

@Apache

great job and I'm looking forward to updates on this great mod

I am looking forward to the 1.20 update as well, but no rush. You've got a life and I've got a lot of other games to play. I just wanted to say that this is so good it should be included int the game. I can't really play without it. Thank you!

please update my carpool tunnel is acting up ;w;

"THIS MOD WILL NOT BE UPDATED TO 1.20 UNTIL IT IS OFFICIALLY RELEASED."
|
Dang too bad. Hey Apache I look forward to the official 1.20 release of this mod as I enjoyed using it prior to updating to 1.20 :D

Thank you. :)

Zanklev Works fine for me!

Does anyone know if this works without issue on 1.20?

@Apache Thank you.

Silverfang, You can hold Ctrl while knapping to disable the auto-fill.

0 = Disabled: The feature is disabled for all players on the server.

1 = Enabled: The feature is enabled for all players on the server.

2 = Whitelist: The feature is only enabled for players on the whitelist.

3 = Blacklist: The feature is enabled all for players, except for player on the blacklist.

In the config files it shows mode 1, would that be "enabled", and "disabled" would be mode 0?

Also would you consider having a setting in stone knapping so that the auto knap is right click and the manual is left click? I like having the option to do either without having to enable/disable each time I want to try. Clay forming has that as an option by pressing F to change toool modes, but stone knapping is either on or off.

Wouldn't say I have low dexterity, but after 200 hours, making flint knives and smithing plates just isn't fun anymore. Thanks for the mod!

Apache  lot of thank's.

Problem fixed on my side.

I hadn’t seen the 'new tool mode "auto complete". Just i try and work, so sorry for your waste time with me and thank's again. :)

Elcuruxa,

/knapster clayforming

This will show you the current settings you have applied for that feature.

With clay forming, you should be able to press F, and see a new tool mode available at the end, called "Auto Complete". If the feature is enabled for you, and you don't have that tool mode (The icon is a paint can, and it's where you can choose 1x1, 2x2, Copy Layer, etc.), then please raise a ticket in the issue tracker. The best way to send log files is to log into the game, make sure it doesn't work, exit the game, and then zip your entire Logs folder, before you start the game again. You can then drag and drop that zip file into your ticket on the issue tracker, and it will give me a proper snapshot of the exact state of your game, without needing to ask any other questions.

Hi! is clayforming disable for default? the mod is working for me with the tools but not for the clay :(

Apache I forgot to install it when getting my 1.9 mod list set up but I do generally run it, yeah. Thanks for reminding me.

DanteGoldenrod, do you also use Accessibility Tweaks? https://mods.vintagestory.at/accessibilitytweaks

It's a client-side only mod, so good for servers, and it adds a lot of accessibility functionality. I never play without it now.

This mod is essential for my enjoyment of the game. Partly because I don't like the pottery grind and partly because I have motor issues where small constant movements like knapping/pottery requires in VS causes me pain after several minutes of doing it.

The fact this mod is activatable "on the fly" from tool selection to choose whether you want to do it manually or not makes it agreeable to all my friends. Some of them think the grind is worth doing and think it's cheap to just "do it automatically" but don't want to force it on me to have to literally hurt myself to do pottery (because I am typically the one doing pottery, as the most experienced player who remembers all the molds we need and how many we want of them).

Thank you for all your work on this and the settings you set up for it. Accessibility and customization are very important to me.

Quern multiplier doesn't work currently for manual querns, haven't tried with autoquern.

Something I've noticed is the quern speed multiplier doesn't seem to work multiplayer? All the other aspects of the mod work (though I can't speak for panning, it never worked for me in the past and I gave up trying) except for this one. The speed multiplier works just fine in singleplayer though (or at least before the latest update), so I'm not sure where I might be goofing something up.

That aside, this is a must-have mod! I don't think I could play the game long-term without it, I need to preserve what's left of my wrist LOL

Edit: Spoke too soon, seems the multiplier doesn't work in singleplayer anymore either?

I get "Subcommand for quern, too many arguments" when trying to change the quern stats and also faster harvesting doesn't work for me anymore after the update. Even when trying to revert to the previous version

Thank you Apache

TheAmethyst, exactly. "%VINTAGE_STORY_DATA%\Logs".

From in-game, you can open your Mod Folder, then go up one level, and you'll see the Logs folder. The logs reset each time you launch the game, so if you have a problem, you can grab the logs straight away. :)

Apache, deleting the folder at `%VINTAGE_STORY_DATA%\ModData\apachetechsolutions\knapster` fixed it. Thank you. For the sake of me being new to this game would you mind letting me know where the log files are? Would they be under `%VINTAGE_STORY_DATA%\logs` or somewhere else?

TheAmethyst, can you check the logs to see if there are any issues there. You can also try resetting it all manually by deleting the folder `%VINTAGE_STORY_DATA%\ModData\apachetechsolutions\knapster`. That will give you a clean slate.

Please open an issue on the issue tracker here, if you need more help. Please do not paste log files to these comments.

Apache, I updated the mod to 2.10 just now and my world isn't detecting that it's installed but the game is and says it's enabled in the Mod Manager. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, disabling and re-enabling it.

Thank you so much for the smithing compatibility!!! Edit: And the sticky keys too of course, I was simply so excited when I saw the smithing compat in the changelog I completely forgot about the other part of the changelog haha.

Changelog (2.10.0)

Added: Sticky keys for querns: When active, the user will not need to keep the right-mouse button held down to keep the quern active.
Added: Reworked how panning works. The settings now make much more sense. Also added an option to change the number of drops per layer.
Added: Compatibility between Knapster Smithing, and Anvil Metal Recovery mod (modid: metalrecovery). Auto complete now respects the metal bits recovery process.

Gantry: Fixed `ShouldLoad()` issues for mod compatibility.
Gantry: Moved to `EasyX` mod template, pulling a lot of functionality up to the MDK.

+1 for holding-RMB bypass functions. Stuff like having to squeeze honeycombs, holding RMB down to press fruit, etc., all drive me crazy - I think it's a symptom of ADHD called "time dilation"? Just having to sit there for a few seconds doing nothing but hold RMB makes it feel like it takes years.
Also, is there any chance we could get integration with Anvil Metal Recovery for the smithing feature? I realize it's unlikely, but the ability to save metal bits when manually splitting makes me continue to do so when I could be using the instant smithing feature from this mod. Sorry if someone's asked this before.

Mottyrob  

Panning is actually fine, but instead of a multiplying the speed right now it divides the "work" needed so if you set speed to 0.1x it's 10 times faster than 1x 

This is really useful! As a suggestion, would it be possible to have a toggle for the hold RMB prompts? Holding down the button for long periods of time in succession like when I'm forging multiple plates, mail etc at once can still be a bit taxing, and it would mean server admins can keep instant smithing disabled but it's still accessible.

gg

Apache Thank you, I moved my issue to GitHub. Ill try to remember to check my github if you need more information!

Anybody know how to get this mod to work properly? It seems like it disabled itself somehow because I've deleted and redownloaded it twice and tried two different worlds with it but it still gives me a "no such command" error when I try to enable it manually.

Panning seems to be broken for me, it could be conflicts with other mods but I'm glad I can at least turn off each feature independent of the others, I'll start a new world with only knapster enabled and see if it's still an issue.

Edit: Yep, Panning is busted but ONLY at 2x speed (it just goes until the animation times out but bony soil is still in the pan) Saturation doesn't seem to be affected.

Script

Do you need an update for 1.19.8 for any particular reason? This mod still works perfectly.

When will we get an update for 1.19.8

Can I suggest adding a tilling feature? I'm trying to make a large-scale rice farm (like a paddy field) on the side of a hill, and the current tilling speed with a hoe will take forever to do block by block.

based and less grindy

Kief, sometimes, recipes require more than one ingot to complete. There are some annoying recipes that only use a few voxels from the second ingot.

Smithing can actually fail.  Recently I was left with 2 unfilled squares and nothing else to move around.  Now I'm afraid to use the auto smithing mode.

Hello, I'm a Korean player who really wants to use this mod! After installing the mod and setting the language to Korean, when I enter a command, the message "insufficiently set up command - no handlers or subcommands set up" keeps appearing! Please help me solve this problem. And when I change the language to English and enter the command, it works fine.

i love knapping and clayforming, i find them so relaxing... but my developing carpal tunnel does not LOL. thank you for saving my poor abused muscle everything i love causes carpal tunnel </3

are the features on or off by default ?

Also for people who are just lazy like myself and want to text while doing the molds LOL.

Thank you so much this mod is perfect for any level of player! 

Hi Apache,

I looked through the comments here and entered the commands /knapster clayforming mode enabled and /knapster knapping mode enabled. I was able to knap a spearhead using the mod. Will try out clayforming later.

Patroclus, this is not the place to report bugs. Please create a ticket on GitHub. The Issue Tracker link is above. Include as much detail as you can, and attach your log files for inspection.

Hi, Knapster was working fine for me until today. I removed another mod that I thought might be causing the issue, but that didn't fix anything. I updated to the current version of Knapster, but on either version I'm not getting the additional mode to activate knapster. I'm not sure what else to do.

DisorderlyF, you can always copy the settings files from one world to another, within the `ModData` folder. But, I'll see if I can add a command to save the current settings as global.

EDIT: Now added in v2.9.3

Any chance we could see this with ways to configure other than server commands? I'd prefer to not have to enter the same few commands every time I start a new world.

Berkyjay, if you redownload the mod, that problem should solve itself now.

Is anyone else getting a "harmony.log.txt" file written to their desktop after loading up a game?  It's a long log of code but the top shows this:

### Harmony id=Knapster, Version=2.9.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null, version=2.3.0.0,

Ok, please create a ticket on GitHub. I can't do anything here. Include your log files (you can zip the whole folder), and include your system specs. It's likely a mod confict. But I won't discuss it any further here.

Apache look, i've poured through the log files available to me and there's literally nothing. the code itself isn't erroring, but it refuses to function as intended.

the problem occurs both on singleplayer and multiplayer, and i've ensured everything is as possibly correct as i can. i reuploaded the zip from here to the server, and a fresh install from here to my client. server restarted each time, feature checked enabled.

unless there's an issue with the server that i simply can't see, or a mod conflict, then im unsure of how to proceed... given that the logs only mention knapster when it's loaded.

i've got a video of the behaviour. https://streamable.com/hcyx6y

gumwyrm, it definitely works. The one chnage I did make to clayforming is that the alias for the command is now "cf" rather than "c". If you type `/knapster cf`, you will see the current settings for it. I've just tested, with the 2.9.2 zip file from here, on single player, and multiplayer world. Clayforming works as expected. Make sure your mod cache is cleared, and make sure the feature is enabled `/knapster clayforming mode enabled`. If there are any other issues with it, can you open a ticket on GitHub, and provide your log files, as well as a description of exactly what the issue is, and how to reproduce it.

Apache knapping is functioning properly now, though clayforming is still non-functional. i'd advise testing the other crafting methods.

Shion, fixed now. My own stupid mistake. Sorry.

Looks like ClayForming does not work anymore: there is no mode for the auto forming in 2.9.1 version. Knapping is working as in vanilla too.

DiZek, that's true. The XP will be affected as well. This mod effectively turns your arm into a Helve Hammer. XSkills penalises XP gain from Helve Hammer hits. Both mods re-write parts of the smithing, and clayforming processes, so there will be issues using both of them together. At the moment, I'm not sure I'd want to change that. It's always possible turn off Knapster while levelling skills up.

Just wanted to share this with anyone whom it may concern!

If you use this mod to auto-complete the Metalworking (Smithing) and have xSkills (Metalworking trait that gives a quality to items smithed on the anvil) that you MUST COMPLETE the item using the regular method (in the F menu) for it to apply a quality to the item.
I am unsure if this affects other things such as experience gained for Metalworking or Pottery or any other auto-completing stuff.

That aside, thanks again for making this mod. Very happy with it and saves me a ton of pain :)

Thanks a million! I'm excited to try it out.

I think you've now managed to remove every last source of tweaking an existing repetitive stress injury in this game, even with my chosen mods.

CKitt, there you go. That was surprisingly easy to add in. And thank you to l33tmaan, for permission to add this feature.

Easy Mixing Bowl

Provides an easier way for players to mix resources in a mixing bowl. This feature is only available when the mod "A Culinary Artillery" is enabled within the same gameworld.

• Server Admins can change the speed multiplier to make mixing ingredient faster, or slower. (x0-x10) (Default: x1).
• Server Admins can apply the speed multiplier to powered mixing bowls, as well as manual mixing bowls.

I greatly appreciate this mod! Thanks for keeping it updated as you do.

This is likely an unreasonable question, but is there a way to implement the incresed quern/automated quern speed for Expanded Food's mixing bowl and automated mixing bowl? I'd find that exceptionally useful.

If not, no worries! It's not part of vanilla, after all.

Mirok, no thank you. I have no need for it.

it's time for you to get to know Linux better... (Try ArchLinux) :D

Arroz126, within the commands list above, you can see that the command would be `/knapster k mode enabled`. If that doesn't work, then please open a support ticket, by following the Issue Tracker link at the top of this page.

Hi, the mod is not working for my version (1.19.4), for example when I write in the chat box /knapster k enable, I get the following: insufficently set up command - no handlers or subcommands set up, I don't know why :c

Without this mod, I would stop playing Vintage Story, so thank you very much for continuing to support it!

Bug report: Is anyone else having trouble using the latest version with the mod "Primitive Tools"? The auto knapping is not working with the stone pickaxe from that mod for me. If I revert to the previous version of Knapster, it works fine again.

I found a file that wasn't merged into the assembly, which may have caused issues with Linux. I've merged it all together now, so hopefully, it will work. I have no way of testing anything on Linux. Windows is much better.

Thank you so much for this mod.

Doesnt seem to work with 1.19.1

You are the king, Apache

I've just tested all features; harvesting, panning, smithing, clayforming, and knapping, and the new quern feature, in my test world. They all work as expected.

If the problems persist, can you add an issue, here: https://github.com/ApacheTech-VintageStory-Mods/Knapster/issues

Please do not paste anything here, in the comments.

I will need a list of any mods you have installed for that world, as well as the server and client log files: `server-main.txt`, `server-debug.txt`, `client-main.txt`, `client-debug.txt`.

That will give me everything I need to be able to sift through, and find any issues.

Roughgalaxy I seem to be having the same problem. I'm trying to active it through the commands but the console tells me that there are no such commands. Haven't found the solution yet.

Edit: Issue resolved. It seemed to not be working on one specific save I had. Other saves are fine.

So I've been giving this a try and the knapping and panning don't seem to be working for me (1.19.3) but the clayforming and smithing work great! Wondering if user error. not running on a server or anything

Edit: just started working today. no idea why.

Fair point, Apache...I could have just checked myself!  LOL!
The act of smithing does, indeed, seem to work.  I did notice that one of the skills you can unlock for Metalsmithing that allows you to recover bits when you do a certain number of Splits doesn't, though.  I'll keep digging.

DrBubba, I've never actually tried. But, you're post sounds very much like you're volunteering to experiment. Haha. I would imagine it would, because it patches the core functionality of the different skills. With Smithing, it pretty much re-writes the whole smithing process, and turns your arm into a helve-hammer. It would be interesting to find out how well they play together.

Been meaning to ask, Apache

Does this tie in with XSkills? 

Awesome mod, these systems are quite tedious.

Apache ComradeSoupBeans I've raised an issue on the GH repo regarding flint knapping.

Thank you for updating! Most essential mod, in my book.

Just started using this mod the other day, wish I had used it sooner! I'm sitting here with my hand in a brace but can still get my monotonous crockmaking done, lol

Oh sweet it updated! I really enjoy the modifications to panning, so this is one of my favorite mods to have.

thank you 

was holding back on all my iron slag for this as I don't have automation set up for that glad to see this updated and now I can mass produce crocks at last!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Much appreciated! Thank you. :)

Thank you for the update. I use it to clayform roof shingles which is such a large and monotonous task. Appreciate your work.

Holding off on more Vintage Story for this mod, as clayforming and knapping manually cause pain these days. Definitely looking forward to the update.

This is the only mod that matters when considering moving to 1.19.

Well now its the stable version of 1.19.1 and 1.19.0, both stable and i wish i had it now, bc clay forming and metal forming are my biggest dislikes "sad face" :{

I agree with Liam, it is well worth the wait and I understand why the author doesn't want to update until the full release of a new version happens.  It can take a lot of work to create some of these mods and if the dev was to make a change to the way something is handled, it could create twice the work for the author to fix it after trying to update for one of the pre release candidates.  I just want to give a big thank you to the author (Apache) for making this mod and maintaining it.  I have carpal tunnel and this mod is a huge benefit for me and I am sure others like me.  I consider this mod essential to have working for me to move to a new version.

Apache does not update until the full releases happen and as 1.19 has just (a few hours) released, we will have to wait a little bit :) It is worth the wait.

I am getting crashes with 1.19

Unfortunatley crashes w. 1.19.

I strongly hope that you will support ver 1.19.x games.
With the current Knapster v2.6.3 the game crashes and will not start.

ComradeSoupBeans, can you make a bug report please. I haven't come across this issue before.

https://github.com/ApacheTech-VintageStory-Mods/Knapster/issues

For those having issues with flint knapping not working with this if you hold a stone it still works on flint. Hope this temporary work around helps!

Yes. As always, I never update my mods until after the new version is released. This mod will not work on 1.19, until 1.19 is available. I don't even start looking at updating the mod until the new version is released, so it will take time.

In case someone wants to try, it does not work with 1.19. -7

crashes the game.

Thanks for updating this one to show up Auto Completion again. Missed it for months in clayforming and smithing

v2.6.1:
- Fixed: EasySmithing auto-completion doesn't properly take rotation into account.
- Fixed: EasySmithing iron blooms waste voxels on instant complete.
- Fixed: EasySmithing commands change the wrong settings.

Thank you so much Apache

Best VS mod by far, absolutely needed to not give myself hand cramps making 10 clay jugs and knapping 50 stone tools haha.

Ingvard, I've found a couple of problems with instant complete. Mainly with blooms. You can lose the work item. I've added an issue to my tracker, and I'll work on it this week.

Fantastic, I also replicated the rotation issue with a piece of chainmail. The other issue I am having, if not unique to me or user error, is that instant complete for smithing doesnt seem to be working.

McTaco, This is a known issue that cannot easily be resolved. I need to refine the logic a bit more, to take into account rotation. It's a lot of trial and error though. Thanks for the feedback.

Tested 2.6.0 works perfectly. F menu option for auto fill and functionally.

There was a small bug where when smithing an iron bloom, the auto fill kept moving a bit back and forth instead of progressing, right click to rotate the work item allowed the auto fill to resume work properly.

ya this sadly only works with knapping stone tools :(

Good luck, Apache! Take your time.

The flint knapping is working for me, but everything else lacks the F button auto complete now. Clay/smithing ...

I will be updating this mod. But, real life comes first. I have a new full time job, and August is always a busy month, as I'm away every weekend at different festivals, around the UK. I've just got home today from one, today. I'll have a look at this, "soon", but I will not give any schedules, or deadlines. Real life always comes first.

Will this get updated? Currently not working for 1.8.8 with NET7

For those waiting on a NET7 fix, after looking through the GitHub issue tracker it looks like the dev's stated they won't fix it due to... ModDB not letting them upload 2 versions of the mod (for NET4 & NET7).

Not sure how exactly that prevents the development of a NET7 version, but there you go. It's the dev's choice, so I can respect that.

Hoping for a fixed NET7 eventually, as clayforming on a controller suuuucks.

Word of warning: if you Left Click on a knapping material without having first selected an item to knap, it crashes the game. I'm using v2.4.2 of this mod with v1.8.6 of VS

Also a suggestion, but when knapping, the game doesn't count voxels that are diagonally adjacent to the item, so you don't need to break those. Only the ones adjacent up, down, left and right

If the GUI mode to witch with F is broken, one way to make the mod work is by making the autocomplete option choosen by default. That way people can use the mod even if they cant change it to autocomplete once he change to any other vanilla mode. Is not the perfect solution, but its one that could work. This mod saves hours and hand pain when smithing. Is frustrating having to smith the vanilla way, to much time consuming even with helve hammers.

The stuff that requires a GUI (mode switching with f) is broken with NET7. Knapping still works.

The source on Github is outdated (only version 2.3.1).

Not sure if i did something wrong, it was working just fine yesterday, i changed to NET7 and is not working anymore at least with clayforming, i tried the command to enable clayforming, but still no auto complete F option. Am i doing something wrong? or it is not compatible with NET7?

I've been using this on the linux net7 build with zero issues.

Can there be a configuration option to hold CTRL for auto-knapping and use vanilla knapping by default instead?

Sometimes I want to do the actual knapping just for fun and the auto-knapping is secondary.

EDIT: Nvm lol doesn't work for clay

Awesome, Apache! Good luck with the new job!

I'm starting a new full-time IRL job this week. Please be patient.

There's a source code link right up there at the top.   

Hoping for a Net7 build soon, now that Net7 is stable and officially released. I rely a lot on this mod because of my physcial problems, so it's very unfortunate that it doesn't fully function on Net7. Fortunate, the fix is as simple as transitioning from using System.Drawing.Bitmap to BitmapExternal. Considering System.Drawing.Bitmap was deprecated in the latest 1.18.6, and that BitmapExternal works fine on both Net4 and Net7, I see no reason not to fix it to ensure future compatibility

I would attempt to do so myself, but without the source code I'm unable to :(

Thank you for this mod. It's a must for preventing carpal tunnel syndrome!

Hello,

Do you think it would be possible to make an "easy fruit pressing" module? Holding right click for 8s on the fruitpress screw is starting to drive me crazy.

Mod seems to be creating a "Global" folder for settings, but no files are inside. Is it possible to set default values for new worlds with it?

Shion, this should now be fixed. Feel free to remove the big stack trace in the comments here.

Got this crash when knapping a spear during the temporal storm:

...

Ruyeex, this should now be fixed. Feel free to remove the big stack trace in the comments here.

It crashed my game

(Also I put the crash info on the issue tracker)

I just want to thank you for this mod. I have unreliable hands, trying to make it work with the vanilla system was very hard so this mod makes the game much more enjoyable.

It instantly crashes with 1.18 when I open a world

With the issue on Steam Deck. The problem seems to be that you do not have the full version of Mono (mono-complete) installed on the machine.

https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-lin

"The package mono-complete should be installed to install everything - this should cover most cases of "assembly not found" errors."

I created an issue here: [BUG] Load failure on steamdeck · Issue #4 · ApacheTech-VintageStory-Mods/ApacheTech.VintageMods.Knapster (github.com) with the error. It seems at a glance to be the same as the PetAI crash (which I've linked in the bug issue). But I'd let someone with more (any, as I have none!) VS mod experience weigh in on this.

Separately confirming what Virvius is saying. An excellent mod that I enjoy deeply enjoy on my PC, which would make taking Vintage story on the go a lot easier.

On Steam Deck, the mod appears properly in the in-game mod menu, but whenever I try to use the /knapster commands. it doesn't recognize the command.

I performed the debugging mentioned earlier in the thread related to deleting the cached version and extracting to a separate folder, but the issue persisted.

I'll also go hunt for log files, I have some time this weekend I can hopefully throw at this. Just wanted to chime in and say its reproducible and not a one-off thing.

Appreciate your work on the mod, it's been saving my wrists these last few weeks.

Thanks Apache , I'll see if I can find the log files. The steamdeck file system is a bit clunky to navigate.

Virvius, I have no idea tbh. The last time I used a controller, was playing Tekken 2, on a PS2. I've never even seen a Steam Deck, not alone used one. And I've never heard of the phrase "flatpack", other than IKEA style furniture.

For now I'd say to check your log files, if you can. See if there's any exceptions being caught on there. Can you open a support ticket on GitHub (Issue Tracker link, above)? I'll be able to track this a lot more easily from there.

Hi, first of all, this mod is amazing! It's a great solution for situations where knapping/crafting is time consuming to the detriment of the game. Unfortunately, while the best argument for this mod seems to be for using a game controller (knapping with a controller is awful), I ran into an issue:

The mod does not seem to work with a steam deck! (at least for me). Is this possibly a flatpack issue? When I try to use /knapster , the game doesn't recognize the command, although the mod says it's loaded in the main menu. Knapster doesn't seem to be running by default, either. Maybe it's running into the flatpack issue with library imports?

blueblynd,

`/knapster clayforming voxels [1-8]` to increase the number of voxels per click, when clayforming; up to a maximum of eight.
`/knapster knapping voxels [1-8]` to increase the number of voxels per click, when knapping; up to a maximum of eight.
`/knapster smithing voxels [1-8]` to increase the number of voxels per click, when smithing; up to a maximum of eight.

These are server-side settings, so if you are on a server, you'll need to ask the server admin about increasing the number of voxels per click.

In a single-player game, you'll be able to use the commands yourself.

1: THANK YOU.

2: My one and only critique is that I assumed this would be like the Copy & Paste mode already in the game – which is pretty fast, probably 5 or 6 voxels at a time. As it is, one voxel at a time means you are going to be holding down the action key for a LONG TIME for most recipes. That is equally (if not more) painful for my wrists and tendons than just putting in the voxels manually. So far, my solution has been to precariously balance my controller (with its own weight pressing down the action trigger) and leave it there for the 10 minutes it takes to click through every single voxel. (Maybe go make a cup of tea.) Your mod has given me that option, but it hasn't taken away the underlying issue. If anything, it's just created different ones.

I can understand why you didn't do multiple voxels at a time (I assume it's so people can backtrack) but if that's the case I really think you should add two modes, fast (multiple voxels) and slow (one voxel). I can't speak for other hand/dexterity issues, but I can't imagine most people with effed up wrists are going to be able to hold down a controller trigger or a mouse button for ~10 minutes at a time. (At least, not without some amount of pain.)

Regardless, I love this mod, it's a lifesaver. Course I don't know anything about programming so I have no idea if those changes would be easy to implement, but I do hope to see them someday! In the meantime, I will continue to use this mod and just play a game of "jerryrig the controller" every time I need a storage vessel.

3: Thank you :)

Thanks! That didn't fix the problem, but because of some other weirdnesses my daughter ran into, I uninstalled and reinstalled VS, and it's working fine now. Haven't looked at clay yet. Something evidently got corrupted, and deleting Cache wasn't enough.

HoosierDaddy, that's really odd. It sounds like it hasn't cached the mod properly. Try this:

1. Goto your Mods folder (Launch the game, goto Mod Manager, and Open Mods Folder. Then exit the game).
2. Unzip the mod into it's own folder, so that you have the file \VintagestoryData\Mods\ApacheTech.VintageMods.Knapster_v2.0.0\modinfo.json, and a load of other files as well in that folder.
3. Delete the zip file.
4. Go back one directory, and delete the \VintagestoryData\Cache\ folder, and everything inside it. Only the cache folder. This will remove any corrupted files.
5. Launch the game, and make sure the mod is enabled within the Mod Manager.
6. Generate a Creative Building world to test that the mod works.

If this doesn't work, can you open a support ticket here: https://github.com/ApacheTechSolutions/ApacheTech.VintageMods.Knapster/issues.

I must be doing something wrong. Both

• /knapster k enabled
• /knapster knapping enabled

reply

• knapster:Features.Knapster.Mode

Commands like 

• /knapster k mode enabled

say

• knapster Features.Knapster.SetMode

But it does not seem to do anything different. Similarly, clayforming does not add a tool mode, like I think it is supposed to. I did a clean install of 17.4 a couple days ago, and have only Essentials, Creative, Survival and Knapster 2.0.0 enabled. Brand new world, all defaults.

Obvious typos give an error message, but I'm not sure which reply I'm looking for, if either.

Wow, I got caught up with some real life work and I come back to see this! What a delight, thank you so much! I'll be giving it a shot as soon as I can.

I did play around with the Napster logo, to see if I could integrate it into this logo, but nothing looked right. :P I also tried playing around with Metallica puns, because it's about Knapping, and Metalworking, but got nowhere. I'm happy with Knapster though. :D

That mod name though...perfection.   Incoming litigation from KMetallica.

It's ok. There was a decently significant bug in it, but that's now been fixed. I hadn't given default values, if it tried to read settings before network packets had been sent. On a single-player server, this doesn't matter, because all the values are right there. But in multiplayer, you need to check, and make sure things are where you expect them to be, and if they're not, you need to give a default value. All my testing was done in a single-player world, so it was never picked up. I'll know for future. Always test universal mods on a dedicated server.

@Apache

Strange but it started working after one crash. No idea what caused it. Just booted me out of the server then started working as intended.

Charleston

Thanks. I'll look at this tonight, and get a patch out asap. Serves me right for trying to release a mod in under a day. :P

Hosting a dedicated server, crashing out as soon as I being knapping. 

It's currently an RC release. I'll release a full version now. Thanks for the heads up.
