SDTL - A Launcher for SDT

[The Hacker Known As Snow]

I'm trying to build this and I'm getting a bunch of errors.

What I did:

I copied the source code and ran npm install inside the SDTL2-source folder

output:

Trying to rebuild it, ey? It's certainly possible to do but it requires some fiddling.

I've been working on it a little bit recently and I'll see if I get around to releasing it this time

Keep me updated, I'd like to develop on the platform

 

[some_dude]

Version 0.1.0 is now (finally) released!

It is open source and has the new extensions system! I'm excited to see what you all think about it!

Perfect timing, I just got my new PC up and running, I'll take a look

Edit: it works :)

So I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or this is a bug.

When I try to load mods with auto_character_folders set to true, the app does not appear to recognize the mods. For example, I'll click on the characters tab and click a mod and it will just open a subfolder and no other options except to go back.

However, when I disable this feature and manually create the characterfolders.txt, it will load as intended. I tested this with several of sby's mods. I simply extracted the mod contents to an individual folder in stdl2/game/mods/. From what I understand, that recognizes that folder as a "character".

Thanks.

Good observation!

Any folder containing at least one of the following filenames will be treated as a character (all other folders will be treated as normal folders):
"BG.png", "Char.swf", "Code.txt", "Hair.png", "Mod.mod" or "Mod.swf"

It is case-sensitive, so the first character must be upper case and the rest lower case. This doesn't seem like a good decision so I'll probably change it for the next version.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

Hey everyone,

The instructions seem really straight forward and easy; however, I am still struggling to get this to work. How would I go about installing SDTL2 to work with my current loader set up which is @sby’s loaderpack?

Thanks!

 

[The Hacker Known As Snow]

copy the loader to \game\ folder

Hello just a short question, does this work on 32bit windows? I won't be surprised if it doesn't but just feel like asking. I tried to launch it but a windows error popped up saying I can't run this application because it isn't compatible.

It can be built for 32bit, it's just that I didn't do it because I assumed no one was using it. I'll make sure to include a 32bit build in future releases! But until then you could download the source code and build it yourself. It's really simple and only takes a few minutes, there are instructions in the README (that comes with the source code).

Oh wow thanks for the quick response, sorry for not getting back quick as it was late in the day. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look, thanks a lot. While I'm still here, asking about mods like Sby's mods for adjusting some features, do I just drop those in the "mods" folder?

That "mods" folder is intended for mods that should only be loaded when launching the game with SDTL. You should instead put the mods inside the "game/mods" folder (it doesn't exist by default so you have to create it). You can also replace the whole "game" folder with your existing SDT folder and it will load everything just as you would expect. Just make sure the "SDT.swf" and "Loader.swf" files are directly inside the "game" folder (so "game/SDT.swf" will work, but "game/SDT/SDT.swf" will not).

Is there a build for OSX in the works, or will I need to somehow figure out how to do this via wineskin or the like?

It's likely that Mac and Linux builds will be released in the future since they're trivial to make. But it's likely that they will be buggy (at least initially) since I don't have any machines with either OS to do testing on. I also don't have the Flash player plugins for either of them so you would have to add it yourself (or send it to me).

Greetings!

I have question, regarding adding mods.

In my rating I mention it, got answer but I'm a bit clueless, because I don't HAVE $INIT$ and Mods.txt, and where should I add my mod settings into SDTL 2?

Where should I place them?

Hello!

The "$INIT$" folder should be inside "SDTL2/game/Mods". And "Mods.txt" should be inside the "$INIT$" folder.

I did not include those folders/files because I have unrelated mods installed there for testing purposes, and I didn't consider that it could be confusing. In future releases I'll make sure to keep the "game" folder clean and complete!

 

[HaremFactor69]

Hello, I just wanna report something.
Was using loader in SDTL 2 and put in dialogueactions and moretriggers into my mod folders right. After putting those in, the game failed to load the said mods and anything after that, because I had moreclothing queued up for this.
The weird thing is, is that I tried it in a flash projector and everything works fine, and getting rid of those two mods made everything back to normal. It would be helpful to know what's the issue.

PS: Loading the mod by using the "Load SWF" button in game doesn't seem to work either, so there seems to be something janky happening.
Also currently running 32bit version of windows and SDTL2, if that helps with anything.

By plug-in, do you mean the projector's Mac format? I have that, but if it's something else, I've no clue. And I'm basically coding-illiterate, so I might be totally wrong.
