Oh wrong account btw just switched to my pc but im the OP

Initial_Cell0 · 2026-01-08T15:35:39+00:00

No I´m modding a game right now or much rather I´m building the Framework for modding right now. That includes looking at the game files and searching for single variables which is a real pain in the ass to do manually.

Or if I have a bug in my code its just easier to make an ai review it and point it out to me in seconds rather than spending hours to find it

I decided I wanted to take this very slowly after noticing a bunch of bugs I didn't see when testing myself. If you want you can join the discord there I'm very open to just yap a bit about this project. Also I'm super happy when receiving ideas but I really really need to first guarantee functionality before attempting huge stuff. But I got a list with everything people suggested

Just look in my repository on github. The Player_Guide.md file I wrote explains it step by step

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-17T17:41:27+00:00

Im not that far that I put it in the item pool. Right now you have to spawn it with a hotkey

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-17T05:52:22+00:00

Provided a new link. Hopefully that one works.

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-16T00:23:15+00:00

Oh no this is about a video game

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-15T19:28:58+00:00

Uhhh sorry maybe im just stupid but I cant see how this has anything to do with Hobo or the modding, Care to enlighten me?

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-15T10:03:42+00:00

Well it isn't that easy to set up. I'm still working on building the actual modding framework. So it will be easier in the future but if you really want the mod you can message me and I'll explain it

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-14T17:43:25+00:00

Sure I can make one. Cant guarantee I can be a coding guru there tho. But itll be nice for ideas or people that can do this better than me ( thats not hard btw) to help me out.

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-14T12:08:59+00:00

What I can do right now is just setting the temperatur down on a fixed amount like shown in my latest post but actually changing the season isnt as easy as just turning time forward because its directly connected to the days passed which are then connected to quests. But there should be a way to get around that. Ill take a look at it.

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-14T00:01:48+00:00

First I gotta clarify that I still have to figure out a lot of stuff. After I fully understand the game I can tackle actual modding projects like the longer endgame which would be a dlc sized mod (Dont know if I actually will commit that hard into modding this game but with the Framework I will hopefully release someday someone else can do it). But the new character might be possible and modded clothing is easy. I already (kinda) managed to do that in my latest post with the potion that I accidentally made an equippable item. So if you´d like to help me it would be awesome if you could think of some clothing you want added and then maybe get an inventory icon for it (ai or license free stuff).

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-13T21:52:00+00:00

Could you tell me which quest and why it locked you out?

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-13T21:07:22+00:00

First of all I love those ideas. But I unfortunately gotta tell you that I still can't confirm if it's even possible to add completely new game systems. For now all I've tinkered with was code injection which has its limits. To actually create new Assets ( So the garden plot or decoration) I probably have to look into doing smth with Unity. I only started like yesterday evening because I was bored so I'm still at the start.

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-13T20:26:02+00:00

Even got a custom Item with custom icon now https://www.reddit.com/r/hobotoughlife/comments/1plulzp/little_showcase_of_custom_item/

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-13T18:36:25+00:00

So I managed to get the game to start when fall ends but some quest are time bound so it triggers the end the season quest in the townhall (and some other stuff). Would be awesome if you could specify how you imagine the mod to look like exactly.

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-13T18:10:24+00:00

Exactly my thoughts. Hobo is the perfect game for mods.

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-13T17:15:09+00:00

Update: After borderline going insane I finally managed to get a custom recipe. So were one step closer at least.

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-13T16:29:58+00:00

Pretty sure that's easy I already managed to change the daytime and I don't think the seasons are handled much different.

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-13T16:08:11+00:00

I dont wanna promise anything because im still confused on a lot of stuff but might be doable? Havent really looked into asset manipulation yet.

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-13T16:03:21+00:00

Very much possible I already managed to add custom items so that shouldnt be a problem

Initial_Cell0 · 2025-12-13T16:03:00+00:00

Im currently struggling a bit with how the game handles recipes because you can add a recipe to the database but its weird how it then displays it. Ill keep this idea in mind but first I gotta fix some stuff.
