PSA: Issues about few studio items are not saving
Added 2020-09-12 15:31:48 +0000 UTCHello, I've seen a lot of people talking about some or a lot of my items are not being saved in the scene. so I've decided to make a post to inform all of my supporters.
Summary
Here is why: It's happened by my misunderstanding of the Sideloader's ID system.
I made my ID unique to category (like maps, items..) but the Sideloader is loading items by zipmod's GUID.
What's Next
I'm planning to fix those issues as soon as possible but it will require some time.
This is one of the main reason why decided to completely overhaul the mod packer inside my modding tool. Our time is too valuable to check things like this.
When you pack a mod, it should work without any trouble-shooting.
For modders
Here is a full explanation for the modders.
Sideloader is resolving the item's ID by the GUID. which means the index number you use in your CSV file should be unique in your zipmod folder.
If you have 2 maps, 10 studio items you should write your index like this:
0: Map 1
1: Map 2
2: Studio Item 1
....
12: Studio Item 10
Well, the modding tool will automatically solve the problem but if you don't have mod.xml or the source file it is recommended to fix the problem on your own.
You can solve this issue by separating the CSV list file to other zipmod files but the same rules will apply.
Always, thanks for supporting me, I'll try to make good mods for you guys and have a safe and nice day.
