Content

This is a very simple Content mod that changes the shapes of the ladders, to give the player a visual clue to find their placed ladders in caves without having to balance at the edges of deep chasms.

For the time being this mod also links up the bamboo ladder to the game and makes it craftable.

Usability Guide
Singleplayer  🟩  works
Multiplayer  🟨  works partially1
1 Shapes work without, the bamboo ladder requires a server installation.
Incompatibilities NEW
Known Issues
  • Ladder shapes
  • Due to the limitations of my abilites Content mods, the execution is somewhat janky, albeit barely visible, especially on the ladder. Free-hanging rope ladders are a bit more obvious, but to bring this mod to my desired standard I have to learn programming first (it must happen eventually).

Added
  • Config lib support
  • Toggle between the old and the new ladder height via Config lib.
Changed
  • Ladder shape height to improve looks in combination with trapdoors
  • Thank you, Shion!

 

This is an entirely optional update. If you don't mind the ladders clipping through trapdoors you can safely stay on versions 1.0.0/1.

Eventually in the 2.0.0 update any of this won't be an issue, but for that I'll have to learn how to code first.

Shion Thanks for the feedback! I released an update to fix this issue.

💬 Shion, Apr 18th at 1:53 AM

Could you add a "fix" for the ladder, when a trapdoor is set over it? It's clipping through.

Update v.1.0.1

This update doesn't add or change any content. It's purely a backend adjustment which brings this mod up to my new standards.

This includes a change to the name of .zip-file, which is now following the schema: {modid}-{modversion}-{testedgameversion}, for easier support and better readability in the log files.

"Tested game version" does not imply that the mod is not going to function on a different version. It merely states the game version it was last verified on.

This change allows now to use the most important part of the mod (the shapes) on the client-side without the mod having to be installed on a server.

LoneWolfAlpha42 Thank you for your feedback. This means a lot!

💬 LoneWolfAlpha42, Dec 27th 2024 at 6:32 PM

For such a small change, this mod deserves massive kudos! Being able to see the tops of my ladders has actually been usefull in a few combat situations so far especially with all the new more dangerous monsters I sometimes have to evade rather than engage.

klepa10310 Thank you for the kind words! I am glad that you are enjoying the mod.

💬 klepa10310, Dec 21st 2024 at 9:15 AM

Very convenient, thank you very much for your work!

💬 Brady_The , Dec 19th 2024 at 1:54 AM

I appreciate the feedback, Ket. The hooks were a balancing act between improving visibility and making it not look silly by oversizing them. How do they hold up in real game-play? Are rope ladders spotable easily enough? Could the hooks use some resizing? Cheers!

💬 Ket, Dec 19th 2024 at 1:04 AM

I love the hooks on the rope ladder, keeping this. Thanks

💬 Brady_The , Dec 16th 2024 at 8:06 PM

Ket Thank you!

Great idea!
