Yeah, I wasn't sure how much access a mod would have to system functions like that. That's a good idea tho, and thank you for the pointers! That'll help a lot if I end up making one. I appreciate it

@Lightningtow
The mod environment is sandboxed, so it wouldn't be possible to make the taskbar icon flash nor have the game send a system notification.

If you don't want to have drops auto-opened or periodically check the window for a drop, you could make a simple mod to play a more audible, repeating sound when a drop is available. But, that won't be something that's added to this mod.

A simple way to do this would be to loop the sound when the "giftreceiverupdate" event is pushed, then modify the "RevealItem" function in giftitempopup.lua to stop the sound when the drop is opened. Hope that helps.

Would it be possible to add an option for "notify me when I get a drop," which would make the taskbar icon flash, or send a system notification or something? That way I can claim it manually. I'm not opposed to idling for skins, but fully automating the process feels a little bit iffy to me personally. (no judgment to people who wanna do that, you do you. Ain't trying to start shit). But I don't like constantly checking the window for a gift, and I always miss the notification sound.

Alternatively, if this is open source, I could likely add the functionality myself. Is there a Github repo for this? I've never made a DST mod but I've worked on mods for other games, not clear on the differences but I figure it's worth a shot.

Skins that are automatically granted by the game (such as Complimentary rarity and Event rarity items) have a drop timestamp of 0. The game uses unix epoch for times, so a timestamp of 0 equals "January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC" (or your time zone equivalent).

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_(computing)

why do i have 50 drops from jan 1 1970 at 4 am

@Mica
If you're fluent in both Spanish & English and wish to contribute a Spanish translation, please reply here first, then add me on Steam. We can discuss there. Thanks!

Is it possible to translate it into Spanish?

love the mod!

huh

Thank you for your mod & the info

@Vân Ca
No compatibility support will be provided for the mod you mentioned. That mod is a modified clone of this mod and has taken code, files, and translations from this mod without ever seeking permission from me or other contributors. It is also running an old outdated version of this mod.

If you wish to AFK farm skins, this mod has a built-in Auto Open Gift Box feature. The feature (disabled by default) can be enabled in the mod configuration options. You can then use this feature alongside a god mode console command (either "c_godmode()" or "c_supergodmode()") to AFK farm.

Conflict with Super AFK

The game works. Thank you

@🎄Аngel Dust🎄
Thanks for the report. I'm still unsure why the game doesn't properly detect text sizes for scaling when the Russian translation mod you linked is enabled.

I've just pushed out Version 1.1.5. The mod will now completely disable the text-scaling elements in the main modal when that translation mod is enabled.

But, a downside to this is that you'll now need to expand the skin drop history window to see skin rarity information. This should prevent all black screen issues related to it.

Let me know if this solves your problem.

@Instant Noodles

Hello. It's broken again, just like last time.

(I reinstalled the mod. Didn't help.)

@Жоский_Тефтеле_Ед
If you're using a Russian translation mod in conjunction with this mod, check to make sure you've updated this mod to the latest version (1.1.4).

Thanks for confirming the fix worked.

@Instant Noodles

Lol. It's all working now.

Thx

@❤️Аngel Dust💜
Appreciate for the info. I've tried installing the translation mod you linked, but I'm not experiencing a black screen.

Regardless, I've just pushed out an update containing a stricter scaling fix than the one introduced in Version 1.1.2. Please update the mod to Version 1.1.3 and let me know if it fixes your issue. Thanks.

I'm not sure I did it right.

@❤️Аngel Dust💜
So, just to confirm, the mod works fine until you enable a Russian translation mod, correct? Can you tell me which translation mod you're using?

Pastebin.com allows you to copy text onto the site and it'll generate a link that can be shared. You can also make the link expire after a specified amount of time. In this case, copy the contents of your client_log.txt file into the "New Paste" section, select a "Paste Expiration" (1 Day), then click "Create New Paste". That'll give you a link that you can share.

Do note that only a client_log.txt file from where a black screen occurred will be useful.

Latest version. I reinstalled the mod

@Instant Noodles Is there any way to send you "client_log.txt" directly?

I don't understand the site

@❤️Аngel Dust💜
Can you confirm that you've updated the mod to Version 1.1.2?

If you have, can you tell me what your most recent skins are? And, if possible, copy your client_log.txt (from a session with the black screen issue) to pastebin.com and reply with the link here? This will help me debug further as I'm not able to replicate this bug. Thanks.

@Instant Noodles Hi. There's that error again.

Black screen and endless loading

@◖}|{êС₮О₭иŨ◗ @❤️Аngel Dust💜
Thanks for confirming that Version 1.1.2 fixed the issue.

Yes, everything works now, thanks @Instant Noodles

Instant Noodles

Thanks for the correction.

The Russian-speaking community suffered a lot because of this bug.

Thank you

While I'm unable to reproduce the black screen / freeze issue you've each reported, I've just pushed out an update (Version 1.1.2) containing a potential remedy. Please let me know if Version 1.1.2 fixes the issue for you.

@◖}|{êС₮О₭иŨ◗ ©
Make sure you're on the latest version of the mod (Version 1.1.1). There was a black loading screen issue on Version 1.1.0 when certain Cyrillic characters were used in skin names (from workshop language packs), but that was fixed in Version 1.1.1 in May 2023.

If you've confirmed you're on Version 1.1.1 and still crashing, then I'll need your client_log.txt file to debug further. To do so, copy the contents of your client_log.txt file onto pastebin.com and reply with the link here.

The client_log.txt file can be found be found in the "Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\" folder. Do note that this file is overwritten each time the game launches, so only the log from a session where a crash / black screen occurred will be useful.

Mod works fine here.

@Instant noodles Aloha! (Unfortunately) We have a problem with your mod again, this time the game just won't load after logging in (endless black loading screen).

@Provytelistvo
As the mod is working fine for me, please double check and make sure you're on the latest version of the mod (Version 1.1.1).

If you are and the mod is still crashing your game (with no other mods enabled), then copy your client_log.txt file onto pastebin.com and reply with the link here. This will allow me to debug your issue.

The client_log.txt file can be found be found in the "Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\" folder. Do note that this file is overwritten each time the game launches, so only the log from a session where a crash occurred will be useful.

black screen, don t work////////////

@♫WolfyX♫
Can you elaborate on the issue you're having? So, you got the "Pantomimed Luxury Axe" skin and the mod stopped working? Or is the mod crashing?

If you're using a language pack containing Cyrillic characters, please make sure you're on the latest version of the mod (Version 1.1.1 from May 2023). Rendering issues with certain Cyrillic characters was fixed in that patch.

Otherwise, as I'm not experiencing any issues with the mod, please copy your client_log.txt file onto pastebin.com and reply with the link here. This will allow me to debug your issue.

The client_log.txt file can be found be found in the "Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\" folder. Do note that this file is overwritten each time the game launches, so only the log from a session where a crash occurred will be useful.

when you get a golden imaginary axe, the game no longer lets you start and do anything. unsubscribe

@Young_Lieutenant
If your game is crashing with only this mod enabled (i.e. all other mods disabled), then please copy your client_log.txt file from a session where a crash occurred onto pastebin.com and reply with the link here.

The client_log.txt file can be found be found in the "Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\" folder. Do note that this file is overwritten each time the game launches, so only the log from a session where a crash occurred will be useful.

I have already determined that there is no problem in other mods I use, the problem is only in your mod.

will there be a mod patch? I need to solve the problem with the game crashing.

@draja
Are you running any other mods? If you are, can you try disabling the other mods and leave only this one enabled?

If your game still crashes with only this mod enabled, then can copy your client_log.txt file from that session onto pastebin.com and reply with the link here?

The client_log.txt file can be found be found in the "Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether\" folder or the "Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogetherBetaBranch" folder if you're playing in the beta branch. Do note that this file is overwritten every time the game launches.

@instant Noodles when you go with this mod just a black screen and then crashes

@draja
Can you elaborate on your issue? The mod is working fine on my end.

mod disable

thx

Auto-opening Weekly Drops is disabled by default. To enable, go into mod configuration options, then under "Auto-Open Gift Boxes", select "Yes".
