Problem with code

[timber cipher]

Hello, i try to make mod for my map. The trigger are here but in game its not here. Idk why

here the informations

[rocky harbor]

What folder is this?

I assume not your mod one

[timber cipher]

no i discoverd

[short falcon]

did you link your DLL in the everest.yaml file?

[timber cipher]

yes

[short falcon]

and the file bin/NeikkoworldMod.dll exists?

[timber cipher]

yes

[short falcon]

ahh, I see it

you need to add #[CustomEntity("NeikkoworldMod/BossEntryTrigger")] above your public class BossEntryTrigger : Trigger line

so the game knows that NeikkoworldMod/BossEntryTrigger in the map data means it should load your entity

[timber cipher]

uuuuuuh...

here?

[short falcon]

yes

[timber cipher]

i don't understand where to put in the code

[short falcon]

above public class BossEntryTrigger : Trigger

[timber cipher]

like this?

[short falcon]

you forgot the # in front of it

[short falcon]

oh……

sorry, I coded too much PHP recently

[timber cipher]

sorry im new for coding for celeste ^^"

[short falcon]

ok, without the # is right

[timber cipher]

and now i can compile?

[short falcon]

yes

[timber cipher]

oh and for the .dll do i need to past in bin folder or the neikkoworldmod folder?

[short falcon]

it should appear automatically in the right location when you compile

[timber cipher]

he go automatically in bin folder

[short falcon]

yes

and your everest.yaml says it's in the bin folder

so the game knows it is in the bin folder

[timber cipher]

i compile him, im gonna try

[short falcon]

yes, do it

[timber cipher]

nop it does nothing

but he's here

[short falcon]

do you see the trigger in hitbox view?

you can also check your log.txt file, it will tell you if the trigger failed to load

[timber cipher]

how can you activate trigger hitbox?

[short falcon]

enable debug mode in the Mod Options and press ~ or . or `

you can also use CelesteTAS mod for better hitboxes

[timber cipher]

nothing here

[short falcon]

ok, so you should check your log.txt file

[timber cipher]

its in appdata?

or just in celeste folder?

i found this one

[short falcon]

yes

[timber cipher]

i find something

[short falcon]

so, the game doesn't find your Trigger class

[timber cipher]

i don't know what i am doing wrong

TPF_Think_Shinobu

[short falcon]

you're sure you compiled?

and restarted the game?

[timber cipher]

dotnet build
PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Celeste\Mods\NeikkoworldMod> dotnet build

NeikkoworldMod -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Celeste\Mods\NeikkoworldMod\Source\bin\Debug\net8.0\NeikkoworldMod.dll

Build succeeded.

0 Error(s)

Elapsed time 00:00:01.09

the build have no error

i restarted the game but nothing change

i try to find but nobody have this problem

if its useful i use net.8

do i need to use net but in version 5?

[rocky harbor]

No

Can you link this in code modding

[timber cipher]

Link this conversation?

[rocky harbor]

Yeah

There's more people there

[timber cipher]

How do you do this?

[rocky harbor]

Since it's not a forum

The link is this

#1484563057324593303 message

[timber cipher]

Oooooh

Thanks

Problem with code

[rocky harbor]

No more porblem, huh

[timber cipher]

Yes

[sweet hare]

@timber cipher please compile in release mode and send the zip

[timber cipher]

you want this?

[sweet hare]

i asked you to compile in release mode and send the zip outputted by that, but whatever, this will work

[timber cipher]

oh sorry I didn't understand ^^"

[sweet hare]

as i expected, the class isn't even in the assembly

[timber cipher]

oh its not visual studio code

[sweet hare]

i personally wouldn't recommend using vscode for c# development

[sweet hare]

1. your Code folder must be in the Source folder. the compiler literally won't see your .cs files otherwise.
2. i suggest keeping your namespaces consistent with other mods', like Celeste.Mod.NeikkoworldMod. it won't break your code but having everything under one namespace is convenient.
3. i also advise not counting on an ai to help you with celeste modding. it has absolutely no idea what it does and often writes code that either doesn't compile, or straight up doesn't work at all. for example, in BossEntry.cs:
   • line 30: Seeker does not have a constructor with a single Vector2 argument.
   • line 48: the event event:/game/05_mirror_temple/seeker_scream does not exist
   • line 55: Session does not have the LightingAlpha field
   • line 60: the event event:/bosspart1 does not exist (but i assume it may in the future)

[timber cipher]

i use chatgpt because i dont find what i searched

but i don't know why he build automatically in the source folder

which one you use for coding?

[sweet hare]

"which one" of what?

what IDE? the wiki recommends rider or visual studio, with vscode being last

[timber cipher]

and for the line 60 its my music for the boss that why

[timber cipher]

oh so i'm gonna try this two to see wich one i find better

[sweet hare]

the reason rider or visual studio are recommended first is because they are proper integrated development environments, they show you errors and warnings directly in the editor without having to compile, as well as letting you see what's under a class

visual studio code doesn't give you this unless you know what you're doing

and even then in my experience it's worse compared to rider or visual studio

i also recommend reading up on the everest wiki and asking real people in #code_modding than an ai

[timber cipher]

i use the everset wiki but for the ai i asked him to explain parts to me because sometimes i don't really understand what to do

[sweet hare]

the second part still applies

[timber cipher]

i'm gonna delete the mod and retry with rider

[sweet hare]

imo there's no need

just move the files in the Code folder to the Source folder and fix the namespaces

...and the code that won't compile

[timber cipher]

i use this command for example for entities and triggers
dotnet new celestemod --Samples

[sweet hare]

that's fine yeah, but imo you don't have to

[timber cipher]

In the end, I prefer to retry because i don't really understande what i'm doing

that better

now time to understand how its work

[sweet hare]

if you need help figuring things out, #code_modding is checked more often than some random #953393160464269402 post

but i'm afraid you will need to know how to write c#

[timber cipher]

okay thanks ^^

[timber cipher]

i already write some c# codes but very basics so that why i want to make mod for celeste but i need to understand how the code for celeste works

[sweet hare]

there's several articles like i mentioned earlier
