Is there a way to wallpaper the attic? i tried plastering and wallpapering, but it won't let me!
Nimue Mar 22 @ 9:09am 
@Birget Thank you so much, that was the problem. It's working now and I can finally get rid of that horrid pink and yellow striped wallpaper! Thanks for the help, and for making this mod in the first place!
Birget  [author] Mar 22 @ 9:00am 
@Nimue you need a paintbrush too, item requirements are vanilla in b42. Most of item requierements written here are for b41 because for old build it was completely new function. Maybe i should find some time to write separate section in description for B42, not just update logs.

@Amadare проверь чтоб neat building был выше в порядке загрузки, у меня всё норм
Nimue Mar 22 @ 8:53am 
@Birget Thanks for your patience, I really appreciate it. I'm standing in front of a papered wall with wallpaper, wallpaper paste and scissors in my main inventory (since the update notes said you changed the requirements from wallpaper glue to wallpaper paste, and scissors were needed now). When I select "Apply wallpaper" from the building menu, I get a red square on the floor that doesn't turn green anywhere, so it won't let me apply the wallpaper. That's why I thought there should be a separate entry in the building menu for your mod. If there isn't and it should just use the same entry as vanilla, then I have no idea why it's not working

Не работает с Neat Building, при загрузке на сервер Error.

@Nimue you can paper and paint any papered wall. Also you can paint and plaster more walls than in vanilla.
Nimue Mar 22 @ 5:04am 
@Birget Thanks for the info, I'll ignore WallpapersBM then. I did read the description, but apparently I misunderstood it - I assumed that with this mod, I can apply new wallpaper over a previously papered wall. I'm guessing that it doesn't work this way?
Birget  [author] Mar 22 @ 4:20am 
@Nimue you do not need WallpapersBM because it's not for B42. Also please read the description carefully this will answer to the question why you have only vanilla options
Nimue Mar 22 @ 3:28am 
@birget Enabled: WallpapersB42 Disabled: WallpapersBM
They both were installed when I subscribed to "Wallpapers and more paint options".
Birget  [author] Mar 22 @ 2:43am 
@Nimue what is mod ID of enabled mod?
Nimue Mar 22 @ 1:27am 
I freshly installed this mod to an existing save (42.15.2), but I'm not seeing any options in the build menu except the vanilla ones. In the mod list "Wallpapers and more paints" is enabled, but "Build menu options" is marked as debug and says "mod must be updated for 42.x". Since I'm using this mod for the first time: am I missing something here?
Birget  [author] Mar 17 @ 6:04am 
Updated translation syntax and made version for those who didn't migrate to 42.15
..picklehead Mar 15 @ 1:49am 
On 42.15.2 I'm getting the error when trying to enable it that it's only available in debug mode.

@Birget I am also on 42.14.1 and having the same problem as LexAttwood. I tried both solutions you gave them but it did not work for me. Also unsub and resubscribed.
Birget  [author] Mar 11 @ 9:06pm 
@bacobaco82 thanks for reporting, i'll fix it

Hi, I play in PTBR currently.

Game wasn’t opening due to this mod, after a long debug session I found out that the PTBR JSON files (“Translate” folder) were encoded in ANSI.

For some reason the new b42.15.2 only works with UTF-8, so I edited all PTBR JSON files in notepad++, converted them to UTF-8 and the game worked again.
Also, file “ContextMenu.json” had a blank line in it (idk if this would impact tbh).

Is there a fix for this issue planned for the new release?

Thanks in advance!
LexAttwood Mar 11 @ 8:45am 
@Birget Okay, it worked, thank you
Birget  [author] Mar 11 @ 8:25am 
@LexAttwood I've updated to 42.15 because of new translation system, so you can update your game too.
Or if you're ok with technical names and want to stay on 42.14 you can go to 42.13 folder find file "mod.info" and edit "versionMin" line to 42.14
Or if you're feeling brave enough you can take files from Translation folder from "42" folder and copy them to Translation 42.13 folder
LexAttwood Mar 11 @ 8:19am 
Now its saying avaliable only in debug mode, update to 42+. But im on 42.14 version. Can i do something with it?
Birget  [author] Mar 10 @ 6:59am 
Updated for 42.15. If your game wont start with only my mod enabled write here.
Corona2172 Mar 9 @ 2:28am 
@Birget- Completely understandable. Do not rush on my account haha. I can wait for any updates you provide (assuming this is one that you will eventually update). But if I do get impatient, then thank you for the advice on how to add it! As always, thank you for your hard work!
Birget  [author] Mar 8 @ 10:48pm 
@Corona2172 I can make it possible, but i have some problems with time. If you need it right now and you're playing single you can make it work by yourself. Just add strings to the file plasterWalls.lua
Corona2172 Mar 8 @ 2:26pm 
Birget: Just curious if you think it will ever be possible to paint over that tile I mentioned below? If not, me and my sledgehammer will have to do some interior 'redecorating' in my farmhouse, haha.
Birget  [author] Mar 7 @ 8:38pm 
@Hazel i didn't plan this part yet, because i'm not sure that it is possible add new types of wall covering.
Hazel Mar 7 @ 7:17am 
i gathered 200 bricks to change my walls and just then tried to apply them btw, :spiffo:
how much will i need per wall when they will be available?
Birget  [author] Mar 4 @ 11:12am 
@Hazel brick walls aren't available now
Hazel Mar 4 @ 11:02am 
is adding bricks on the wall a feature on 42.14.1 or do i need to destroy my walls and build brick walls?
Corona2172 Mar 1 @ 5:11pm 
@Birget: The tile of the wallpapered walls in the farmhouse is -

Tile Report: location_hospitality_sunstarmotel_01_4

Unfortunately the whole farmhouse is covered in that wallpaper.
Birget  [author] Feb 28 @ 8:27pm 
@Corona2172 pls write the name of the tile that you're trying to paint. It appears then you right click on wall.

Yep, no siding stuff yet
Corona2172 Feb 28 @ 4:56pm 
New question: I am trying to paint over some vanilla farmhouse walls with wallpaper already on them. For some reason, it will not let me do it. I tried painting them and I tried plastering them, but nothing works. Works just fine on player built walls though. Any ideas?

And siding (both applying and removing) is not in the beta yet, right?

I am on 42.14.1 btw.

Thanks again!
Septemberyll Feb 27 @ 6:29am 
vanilla works perfectly put your paint option doesnt even show up (except beige) and when i paint they just dissapper my save is from 41.13.1 (but im playin on 42.14.1) so i think its a problem with the old save but cant wait for tiles and siding... (to be clear probably a me problem love your work and i did tested in other saves and it does work) plus i can help with the turkish translation if you need it.
Birget  [author] Feb 26 @ 11:09am 
@Septemberyll i do not think its smth with midgame. What do you exactly mean "doesn't work"?
Are vanilla painting options working normally? they are located in building menu
Septemberyll Feb 26 @ 10:31am 
i do play on b42.14.1 so im not sure what is the problem maybe it doesnt support adding in mid-game?
Birget  [author] Feb 25 @ 6:53am 
@Septemberyll what bild and type of MP do you play? I just launched host server B42.14.1 and successfully painted block walls and plastered some brick ones
Corona2172 Feb 25 @ 6:46am 
@Birget: You are awesome!
Septemberyll Feb 25 @ 5:14am 
hey just for the notice doesnt work on multiplayer! great mode tho!!
Birget  [author] Feb 24 @ 7:45pm 
@Corona2172 it should. I've made most of code on 42.13
Corona2172 Feb 24 @ 1:35pm 
Oh, sorry if this is a stupid question, but will this still work on 42.13 (haven't updated yet due to being afraid of wrecking my current save haha)?
Corona2172 Feb 24 @ 1:33pm 
THANK YOU SO MUCH! It's crazy how excited I have been for this to be updated. Thank you for all the hard work!
Kenshi Feb 20 @ 6:00am 
@Birget GOOD WORK !!! YU THE BEST !!!!
Birget  [author] Feb 20 @ 3:16am 
Beta B42.14 update. Read details in description
Simon Jarrett Feb 5 @ 7:07am 
Удачи! Очень ждем

Пофиг на покраску стен, просто хочется чтобы работала штукатурка, обои и плитка. Совсем не хочется сносить стены.
Birget  [author] Feb 5 @ 5:35am 
@Simon Jarrett да. Я переделываю и перепроверяю чтоб ничего точно не сломалось из-за мода. Уже добавила опцию покраски двойных дверных проемов и окон, но но пока убрала опцию покраски всех стен, т.к. там куча кода, в который даже смотреть сложно.
Стараюсь делать всё внимательно и без спешки иначе точно накосячу и это никому ничего хорошего не принесет. И плюс есть еще другие дела, так что времени часто не хватает модом заняться.
Simon Jarrett Feb 5 @ 12:24am 
Можем ли хотя бы надеяться на обновление в обозримом будущем?
[WD] Lenniitsch Jan 26 @ 1:00am 
Really looking forward for a 42.13+ update :) Thnaks for working on it!
С нетерпением жду обновления 42.13+ :) Спасибо, что работаете над ним!
NEDJ_0NE Jan 19 @ 8:53pm 
hello friend any chance you can put wood on the lower part of a wall and bricks on the highest part ? So basically it'd give you 20% wood + 80% grey bricks on the wall. Not sure tho but I think this visual already exists in the game :lunar2019grinningpig:
Simon Jarrett Jan 16 @ 1:40pm 
Обновите, пожалуйста, очень не хватает этого мода(
