Mods cannot modify starting menu, they are only loaded when you entering the world

Would it be possible to get a button to enter the configs on the starting menu so i dont have to load a save to open the configs window? Or is there already a way i just havent realized?

SaintJavelin current version is already compatible with 1.21.0

does anyone else get the issue where the button for mod config pops up but nothing happens when u click on it im new to modding but have tried every version compatible with my game version and i was hoping unistalling all mods and updating my game would be the solution alas its not 

Please Update for 1.21.0!🙂

Running this in conjunction with ImGUI 1.1.12 (for 1.21.0-rc.4) + BetterRuins 0.5.0 (for 1.21.0-rc.7) + Status HUD continued 3.3.0 on latest 1.21 stable release without any issues.
That's not to say there aren't any, but it generally seems to play nice with the stable version!

Cool info for code modders: If you use config lib with code and have to include the imgui dll it's available as a nuget package https://www.nuget.org/packages/VSImGui

Can you please add a game pause when the config menu is open for single player? Configuring can use up a lot of time and it leaves you vulnerable. Thank you.

Edit: Hmm, deselecting the search window after the handbook is open and then opening the config menu is a good work around.

ok, First time really attempting to use configlib.  When I open it and hit mod settings I can onpy edit likie 1 or 2 things, the rest are "greyed" out.  I'm assuming its a permisssions thing, I am the admin, so anyone know what I am doing wrong or where the setting is?

kirtini my guy you are a hero thank you ! Was wondering why there wasn't any mod config button.

Lostar as you're playing 1.20.12 just like me, you need to revert to config 1.5.3 and imgui 1.1.8, the released version for stable vs 1.20.7, it did work for me ! Because you installed 1.5.4 config lib and 1.1.9 imgui which are still for unstable pre 1.21.

Yeah I'm having a similar issue - I've tried just installing the most current version of both DT and ImGui, nothing. Installing the version before that on both of them and restarting the game (and removing the old versions), nothing. 

Ah well, hopefully it's fixed soon. 

kirtini Unfortunatly this solution did not work for me if I am understanding it correctly. I uninstalled both and reinstalled Config 1.5.4 and ImGui 1.1.9 and I am still not seeing the mod menu like I had in the past. I am playing in singleplayer on the 1.20.12 (stable). 

Title: Feature Request: API support for i18n keys

Hey, love the library!

Would it be possible for the API to accept lang file keys directly, instead of pre-resolved strings?

For example:

• Current: config.AddButton(Lang.Get("mymod:my-setting"), ...)

• Proposed: config.AddButton("mymod:my-setting", ...)

ConfigLib would then handle the Lang.Get() call. This would make it much easier for all mods using it to support multiple languages.

Thanks!

If you are having issues with this mod and ImGui:
uninstall both and go into the "files" tab on both mod pages to download the previous version

make sure you restart your game.

the problem is that the mods have updated to support the unstable branch of the game, but that does not support the stable branch anymore.

once you go back to the previous version and restart the game, the issue will be fixed.

Aimli_ I don't know if you could have made a more obviously AI generated post or not. A wall of AI slop isn't needed when it can be explained in a few sentences.

Same problem as everyone else, have the ImGui installed. No mod button, and upon the second time I enter a save in SP, the game crashes.

Also joining in to add that the mod settings button has vanished.

Confirming the same issue stated by users below; mod settings button is missing.

idk if i got lucky or if this was the problem but i was having the same issue with the missing settings button everyone seems to be having. i managed to get it to appear by installing the previous version of both this mod (v. 1.5.3) and ImGui (v. 1.1.8). Note that i am running the 1.20.12 stable version and not the 1.21.0 preview versions so anyone running those and still having issues idk if this will work.

Unfortunately, it isn't working for me. There is no mod settings button. 

Same problem, no idea where the mod settings button is.

I have this downloaded but the mod settings button is not there.

i am having dificulties i dont get erors but i dont get the butten to open thee config menu 

Whenever I try opening a world it just corrupts it for whatever reason. It happened to me once already and I managed to recover that world but I tried enabling it on another world again but it corrupted that one too. If I had to guess what the issue was it would be some conflict with some other mod. I'll try again after disabling my other mods and update once I try that.

Update: I loaded in with only one mod that I knew used the config, and it didn't corrupt my world this time but it gave me several error messages upon trying to load into the world as well as the configLib just not working whatsoever.

Gleipnyr configlib requires the imgui mod, which is linked in the description right above

Hello, very useful Mod, or rather essential, but will there be a version 1.20.12? Please reply. Regards, good job!

The mod doesn't  work me, saying i'm missing  " vsimgui@"

I have no clue what that even is, whelp

Does this work with servers if you are the admin?

Hey I've been trying to get Configlib to link the settings between my yaml file and the GUI, but get an error every time I add the "file" line to "configlib-patches.json".

Here's the error from the server log:

Also here's my configlib-patches file:

I've been banging my head against this issue for quite a while, so please tell me if I'm missing something obvious here. 

How do I access the Mod Settings (config menu) as a Moderator/Op/Admin?
I only have access to client based changes. My account in game has already been made an OP but it won't let me change anything.

Maltiez

Version 1.5.3 is causing my game to crash on 1.20.9 :(

im hosting a mp server for me and my friends and it wont let me edit the config lib menu is there a way to fix this i open it but all options are greyed out.

Please contact me in discord to help debug this bug

I don't know if this is the correct place to ask, but I am desperate. When I try to edit Better Ruins, I change the numbers and sliders, hit save, restart the game, but when I start the game again, all the changes I had made have reset.

I only have this mod, ImGui, and Better Ruins installed, with the latest updates.

Thank you so much for this library. You've turned what would've been 6+ hrs of me setting up C# environment into 15 minutes of using your documentation.

I can not stress enough how easy and useful this mod is in making config files for content mods.

hey not sure if im doing something wrong or what but i can edit things on singleplayer but not on server side (note i am an admin server side) not sure what to do if anyone has any idea what im doing wrong please let me know also for note its a gportal server also on a side note the homepage button to access your discord server doesnt work for people not already in the server just takes me to my browser app for discord with a blank page and nothing to join

I have a server with my buddies, and i have OP, and im not able to change or play around with some of the setting, why is this? - Wich to know it, too. Have a Server for Vintage Story 1.20.3 and have trayed out all versions from v1.3.13 up to v1.5.1

I have a server with my buddies, and i have OP, and im not able to change or play around with some of the setting, why is this?

I really appreciate ths because I couldn't have edited the settings on my own.

Hey, honest question Maltiez. And it's a bit of a rant because I've been working on getting my mods working today, and a significant amount of that time has revolved around the oddities of this framework.

What's the point of this? Config Lib and its GUI dependency are 2 extra mods to add to bloat up my modlist for.... an ability to edit configs in-game..? But configs don't take effect until you reload the save? So I have to wait to load a save, make a change, leave it, and wait while it loads again to confirm? Instead of, say.... editing a .json config file in my ModConfig folder?

Like, ok, sure, it's fine and dandy and neat for people who can't be bothered to find their ModConfig folder or learn they can open a .json file with Notepad. But the thing that gets me is that mods (Combat Overhaul specifically, but there might be more) have built their config dependencies around this mod, to the point where firstly, you can't even configure the mod, AT ALL, without Config Lib and ImGui, but also, if you load Config Lib, use it to config the mod (once again, only know of CO that did this, so correct me if I'm wrong) save the changes and then UNINSTALL Config Lib, the changes will REVERT??? The configured .yaml files are RIGHT THERE IN THE MODCONFIG FOLDER! With all the OTHER .json CONFIG FILES!!!! That I don't need TWO SEPARATE MODS FOR THEM TO TAKE EFFECT!!!

But even if there are settings that can be tweaked without reloading the save, why use an entirely different filetype? Why not simply encourage mod authors to keep using the .json format and have your Config Lib edit those?? The existing .json files even have support for variable descriptions and defaults, just like the .yaml files. It's like building brand new hoops you have to jump through, for no reason?

Is it possible to add an option to run this mod without ImGui so that settings can only be modified via the file? Maltiez

The reasoning behind this is because I am hosting a server and I do not wany anyone with admin permisssions to be able to access the mod settings as well.

I also do not want an extra redundant button always visable on the client side.

For me the configs always reset to their initial values after I edit them and reload my save. 

Anything I'm doing wrong on my end? Like should I execute /autosavenow before reloading?

The settings menu dosnt appear properly when using fullscreen + always on top.

Check ImGui version in logs, should be the latest. Also report bugs via discord.

Confirming "mod settings" does not load the GUI in 1.20 RC6 on servers. but DOES work in single player.

Currently in 1.20 RC 6 and the gui doesn't want to load up when I hit Mods Settings, was doing that for other RC versions as well

The 'Mods settings' button overlaps the 'settings' button when used with the game in Brazilian Portuguese and is difficult to click, with the game in 'English' it is perfect,

 could you please fix it for PTBR? please (I used google translate to write this, sorry for anything)

1.19.4 is compatible for 1.19.4 - 1.19.8 versions

Also adding my one cent, but I too am looking to see if this works with the current stable ersion, 1.19.8 since the latest non-1.2 seems to be 1.19.4 for this mod.

I'm on version 1.19.8 but I'm seeing that this one could not be loaded.

"Unable to load mod. Requires dependency game v1.20.0-pre.5"

How do I resolve this?

which version is compatible with 1.19.8? (current stable)

does this work for servers?

Sollyz

Make sure you have the correct version of the mod for your version of the game

It says I need a mod called "Dependency game" ??? I can't find it anywhere 

Seems to work on 1.20

Im clicking the mod settings button, but nothing seems to be happening

Report it vi discord

In this mod, Chinese is displayed as "?" now.

Please ping me in official VS discord and send screenshot and logs, and also your VS graphics settings, number of monitors and main monitor resolution.

I have the same problem as Shade_Guye.  When I open the config screen I cannot interact with it directly when the cursor is placed directly over the visual elements of the config menu.  However if I move the cursor to the left of the Menu's visual elements on screen, I can interact with the config menu.  It appears the visual elements of the Config menu are offset to the right of where the cursor can interact with them. Looks like approximate about one full width of the menu.

The menu is still fully functional, just a little fiddly to use. Of course it could be completely my fault I may be missing something, not a coder just a lover of mods.

If you need further evidence I can provide a video and logs to discord.

I have tested it in isolation with no other mods installed on a fresh world.
I have replicated the fault with both BetterRuins and StatusUIContinued separately.
I have tested it the following configurations
- Config 1.1.1 vsimgui 1.1.0 - Fault initially found
- Config 1.1.1 vsimgui 1.1.0 - No Other Mod Installed - Fault replicated
- Config 1.1.1 vsimgui 1.1.1 - Opening config menu cause crash to desktop
- Config 1.1.1 vsimgui 1.1.2 - Fault replicated

*Edit OS is Windows 10.

Please ping me in official VS discord and send screenshot and logs

It increases the more right on the screen I go. I did reinstall ImGui, as at first I forgot it and let the game install it, there were 2 vers one of which was unusable, so I removed them and got it manually, didn't fix it. That was right when I got the mod.

Shade_Guye

Make sure you have latest ImGui version. Also, what OS you are on? How much it is misaligned?

Hi I have a bug with the window itself, the cursor is misaligned down-right by some amount. I tried it in windowed but it still happened. Any mods that are known to be conflicting? I don't have many, and only have status hud as a mod that is relevant to ui.

fair enough thanks

MagicWand92FS

My bad, it is for 1.19.4-rc.1, I just selected wrong version here on moddb

Maltiez 

config v0.5.1 is requesting game version 1.19.4-rc.1

EquivalentBad

This is caused by some other mod. "BlockAnimalNest" is not a vanilla class and has nothing to do with this mod.

Upd.: it is Feverstone Wilds, remove it, because it is not updated to 1.19. And please next time make sure that you found the actual mod that causes problems.

Maamessu

Need the list of installed mods. Better to send it via discord in official VS server though.

I'm having the same issue as below:

You have two versions of the mod installed, leave only one

This is from 1.19.0-RC8

Maltiez,  Thanks!  I let the client pick the dependencies.  Downloading the latest IMGui solved the issue.

Install latest version of ImGui

Hello, just installed 'status hud continued' and the associated 'config lib' and 'vsimgui' mods in 1.19-rc6. When pressing 'p' to open the config, a window appears with the text "Config lib: cursor unlock" in the header. The client log shows what looks like a hardcoded path. Can you point me in the right direction?   Status Hud Continued?  Many thanks!

@Maltiez - Thank you and thank you again! This time the discord works. Wonderful work, I'll test it out. From now on, I'll try to stick to discord for further happenings.

BraniyaKz

It is not my discord server, it is official Vintage Story discord server, here is invite-link: discord.com/invite/CkJjdrB

Made a patch for this problem. No idea what caused it, but should not be a problem now

Maltiez - I'm having more issues, and I can't access your Discord server via the issue tracker button on the top of this page... The page just stays greyed out and I can't click on any channels or anything. It says I don't have permission to post messages in the channel. I have logs to show you about the patch file with boolean options that disable another mods' items, which throws a null reference exception. [The Log] [The Patch File] [The settings-config.json]

Maltiez - I apoligize, I've been having trouble accessing discord at all. But you're right about it being a better place for discussion, so I'll try to fix my situation and do more testing for ya. And btw, I think you're making GREAT progress with this, and it's definately a very much needed resource. Thanks again.

BraniyaKz

Reworked library, should fix most of the problems. But still it is better to report issues in discord, cause you can link files and stuff and I can see it earlier and reply immideatly sometimes

BraniyaKz

Moddb is a bad place for reporting and solving issues. There is official VS discord server and a dedicated post for this mod, all links are above.

OH BOY, does the log throw errors when making configs for optionally disabling itemtypes and recipes. Seems to not entirely work in some cases. Here's what happened:

15.12.2023 05:23:45 [Error] Patch 4 (target: acorns:recipes/grid/mallet-head.json) in qolmaster:patches/acorns-qol.json failed, following Exception was thrown: Set JArray values with invalid key value: "enabled". Int32 array index expected. -> That value, false, worked before without errors.

BraniyaKz

Thanks for reply. I'm currently working on gui for it for edditing user config for a mod, and mod config for a developer of the mod, you can check out mod-development in official VS discord for details.

Just what I was looking for! I plan on using this functionality for boolean variables in my content mod QoL Master. Thank you so much! I have a special case already tho: I want to use a value that reads "hammer", with the "", as a value for replacement. I did, and it crashed. I only used the default "hammer", name, and comment in the config file.
