This emergency hot fix is not a V1.6 update (not yet, at least), but rather, an issue I found by accident. There was a terrible lag bomb in the loading times to the Main Menu. I have fixed it.

Updated to V1.5 . As this is a pure XML Mod, it should work without any changes. If you experience errors, please let me know.

@GwenBlanket

If I knew how to do that, I already would have at the point of releasing the Mod for the first time. I think that it requires C-Sharp, unlike the Alcohol Demanded system.

would you consider making candy count as desert for the sweets meme in vanilla expanded memes?

@GwenBlanketSpecter

This Mod originally required a Mod called O21 Halloween On the Rim, but I withdrew it as a mandatory Dependency. If you are seeing it now, then I haven't updated the About File. In the description of this Mod, I gave links to every Mod that this Mod affects.

I'm glad it worked for you. I hope me botching it didn't ruin your Halloweenie run.

Loads up fine and the bills button is there. So far so good. Will let you know if anything bad happens after stream.

Steam didn't notify me you responded. I'll check it out when I wake up and see if it's all good.

@Tizferatu

It took me most of the day, but I am convinced that I have resolved every conceivable issue. All combinations of the Mods, running only the minimum needed to load them, worked. My stress test on my full Mod list (which exceeds one thousand Mods) has also yielded no discernible errors. I cannot reproduce the bugs.

Please try again. If the error persists, then there's no way it's my Mod anymore.

Also, I found the problem with the Jack-O-Lantern. I accidentally made the Rimkea Halloween Mod thee default for the Spook World Jack-O-Lantern without the MAYREQUIRE Boolean statement.

I have reproduced the bug and can confirm that I, too, have butchered my game. I will continue to work to fix this problem, and I hope you can forgive me for messing up your game.

I am starting up a game myself. If I break my own game, you will be the first to know. It takes a LONG TIME to load.

Oof, even worse. Now it errors out completely when loading the save (there's also some errors when the game first hits the main menu).

May need to right click and open image in new tab to see them properly.

Okay, please try now.

I was typing the last one (It's probably an....) as you sent that, disregard. I'll check as soon as the update comes through and let you know if that fixed it.

It's probably an incompatibility with something higher on the list (or possibly because I don't have most of the non-essential mods).

I started disabling those, but about halfway through breaks the entire rendering of the save, so I'd probably have to start a game with just the haloween mods and add ones back in to try and sort it. I'll try to do that tomorrow.

If it helps, here's the stonecutters bench breaking.

Yep, I think I found the problem. It was an issue where I tried to change the Stack Limit of a given Thing Def, and accidentally overwrote half of it. That causes anything to call it to break.

Please allow me to push an update immediately, and let me know if it works for you.

@Tizferatu

Huh. I am experiencing no such issue on my end. I will look into it immediately.

Somehow this mod is breaking (at least) the art bench and the stonecutters benches (all versions) via a likely UI exception being thrown (possibly an incompatibility somewhere).

When clicking either of the benches, the "bills" button blinks and is then gone, and the log gets filled with "GUI Error: You are pushing more GUIClips than you are popping. Make sure they are balanced"

Some quick searching on that error brought me to this https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=37259.0

Removing just this patch and they work fine again.

on the topic of halloween thsi mod is pretty good with the est of this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2906389007&searchtext=quest

@Drago Duval

Oskar, of Vanilla Expanded fame, is the same way. I was going to update a Mod he had not touched since V1 .1 but he said I couldn't because IT'S MUH SPRITES YOU CAN'T USE THEM NA NA NA NA.

Thanks to his tantrum, I had to go into my program and edit the Sprites enough to make them distinct from the original. It's rules lawyer-ing on my part, but they are different and the differences are easy to spot. He can't say those are his Sprites anymore, now can he?

Until Ludeon adopts a sane Mod policy that ignores tantrum throwers like Oskar and O21's author, it is with this that we have to deal.

Yea there are so many amazing peoples in the modding community of Rimworld. Then you got peoples like him.

Okay, I just checked, and it should still be up: https://www.steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2641624170 .

I am removing it from the Dependencies, though it's still integrated, and that should be resolved the next time I update it.

@GwenBlanketSpecter

I think you are referring to the O21 Halloween Expanded Mod. That Mod's author is known for his pettiness and spite, and he regularly punishes anyone who wants to update the Mods he has abandoned with BUT MUH OWNERSHIP MUH ART.

The Halloween Expanded Mod is one of those Mods that he absolutely refuses to update, and not only that, he blocks anyone who asks. He also won't let anyone (e.g. Mlie and me) update it, invoking Ludeon's broken Mod policies.

ah. its because the mod author deleted it.

this seems to be missing a requirement that i can't find to download.

Damn, now all i need is a Halloween style for my ideology and it would be perfect :D. Thanks for this mod, ill go try it out after work.

sounds good. i should be able to find some time after i'm le ss busy with halloween celebrations haha

That would be fantastic, Gwenblanketspecter.

and it sucks thats so hard to implement. what if i made an optional patch that did the bones from the other mod? I'd send the code to you.

sure. i'll get that done tomorrow

@GwenBlanketSpacer

I would love to, but I don't have that Mod.

If you want me to add it, I'll need your help: please go into the code of the Medieval Overhaul Mod and get the Def Name of the Bone Thing Def (it'll be listed under the DEFNAME statement).
Then, go to the About file of the Medieval Overhaul Mod and tell me what you see under the PACKAGEID statement.

I do need to warn you though: due to the way Furniture works, you can only require one or both Bone types unless I make it so that the Furniture is made as a Recipe, which is difficult for players to implement. To do otherwise would require Mod Options, which is C-Sharp, and I can't do that.

I think that I could make it so that if you have the MO Bones, they could replace the Furniture costs, and then have the ROM Bones overwrite that if its Mod is present, but that would be difficult.

would you consider support for bones from medieval overhaul?

Thank you.

@TurtleShroom https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2864410456&searchtext=prison+util <- This one here should prison dressing. I got alot of mods but I think that's it!

BTW, if you want to write a Patch that adds stuff to the Mods I edit through my Patch here, you are free to do so, as long as you link back to this and add it as a Dependency. My knowledge of Patching and Mod making is also pure XML, just like you.

Wait, wait, there is a Mod that lets you dress prisoners?! Could you please link me to that? I knew about the Dress Patient Mod, but dressing PRISONERS is a thing too?!

@TurtleShroom There is a Dress Patient mod. Let's you strip people who are sick, dress them in whatever you want (like a hospital gown) and Prisoner Utils let's you dress prisoners (great with prisoner jumpsuits). We just missing "dress the dead". ... Could be a whole precept - "Proper Burial"!

Nah, my mod abilities are adding "WOODY" where needed... but I'll yell in some groups, see if anyone wants to make it.

Sadly, you can't dress Corpses, Patients, or Prisoners. Glod, how I wish that was possible. BTW, feel free to make a Patch for this Mod, as long as you link back to it as a Dependency.

HAHAHA! Awesome, very excited to try. I'm like 500 mod all fantasy/magic themed, so making it spooky is great. Might adjust some things like "witch hats" to help with spell casting and such for personal amusement. Hmmmm...

Is there a mod to dress corpses out there? A "burying attire" mod, where I dress them as MUMMIES are like hockey mask and machette... then wait till Wa! Skeletons kicks in!!! :)

Correct, the Halloween On the Rim Mod works in V1.4 .

Added, gonna try. Quick notes thou...

[O21] Halloween on the Rim is 1.3, has not had upgrade, don't forsee any issues?
