Unreal that a game 10 years in development still needs modders to carry all the slack from the devs lazy and incompetent work.

It is safe.

is this safe to uninstall in an existing save or nah?

Is there a chance that you could make an option mode for this mod, that i could toggle on with like config lib, that'd make the enemies have the sounds of the original footsteps mod? https://news.kalataka.ru/smfs

1.21.x update would be GOAT'd

Vanilla really needs mob footsteps...

9.9.2025 11:45:18 [Error] [simplefootstepsredux] An exception was thrown when trying to start the mod:9.9.2025 11:45:18 [Error] [simplefootstepsredux] Exception: Method not found: 'Void Vintagestory.GameContent.AiTaskRegistry.Register(System.String, System.Type)'.   at simplefootstepsredux.simplefootstepsreduxModSystem.Start(ICoreAPI api)   at Vintagestory.Common.ModLoader.TryRunModPhase(Mod mod, ModSystem system, ICoreAPI api, ModRunPhase phase) in VintagestoryLib\Common\API\ModLoader.cs:line 664

where is the config? i dont see it on clients, on servers, in configlib...

Hi WickedSchnitzel Will you update this mode to 1.21 stable? There is no footsteps sound in 1.21 stable, I don`t know why T_T

not working in 1.21.0-rc.7

WickedSchnitzel would it be possible for you to update this to 1.21 rc's? clearly something has broken between 1.20 and 1.21 and after trying to figure out how to fix this on my own (thought that maybe configs has changed?), well, it's impossible without sources :/

how do I change volume i can't seem to figure it out

This mod is one of the simplest and most effective quality of life mods of all AFAIC. I have just one minor issue - the footstep sound of wolf cubs, and possibly other baby animals, plays way too fast, generating something close to a rattle. I've looked at the configs for the mod vs the base game config for the wolf pups and I suspect there must be some multiplier effect between the mod's soundTime and the cubs movespeed or animationSpeed settings maybe, but I'm not too sure how it functions.
Any suggestions?

The mod wasn't broken. I only tweaked the bowtorn and shiver sound fx delays a bit for this release and that's it. All versions will work from at least v1.19.8 - 1.20.9+

Evoken Its updated now

WickedSchnitzel Would it be possible to add a mode to this mod, that i could turn on optionally, to make the mobs use the sound effects of https://news.kalataka.ru/smfsu? You made great sound effects but i prefer that mod's sounds, but this mod's codebase is updated and is being updated so it wont just suddenly break on me one day...

Please?

So sad this mod is not yet updated :( We really need footsteps for mobs in VS

Is the mobMatchCode a regEx, a contains, startsWith...etc? If the matching algorithm is something atypical, do I require wildcards such as % or *? It's helpful to know when trying to create a generic conf file, what exactly 'a match' is.

Also, is this matching on the "code" property of the entity json?

I'm not a modder here, I'm just rigging up something quick for FotS mods. Tired of getting stealth beared.

You mentioned that we have to specify which creatures will play the footstep sounds. How do I do that? 

Works for me on 1.20 RC8. I love how heavy the bears and drifters sound. It's actually spookier to hear the thudding of their approaching steps! I also like how little creatures like chickens and rabbits are too light to have footsteps. Thanks!

Just a heads up. 1.20 RC7 broke this mod

What does this mod do? The description only says that it's a rewrite of "Simple Footsteps" but the original mod page description has been edited to remove what it did. So now, neither this mod page nor the original mod page describes what this mod actually does.

Hey, this might be quite the request, but is it possible for this mod to generate template of entities to modconfig? I'm using the fotsa mods, and at a loose guess, there's like 50+ entries I'd need to make for this mod. If the template config had all non-vanilla entities commented out, I could selectively uncomment and customise each, but the current alternative is very labour intensive and I'm not savy enough to automate it, or willing to dedicate the time for such a specific case as animal footsteps. Also, is there a way to add a negative/inverse version of the name, or will specifics overwrite broad? I.e. a "cervidae" broad label for deer, and then a "cervidae_baby" label would overwrite with different values for the smaller, quieter fauns?

For anyone wondering FYI, the sample config is inside the mod zip. I started adding a few creatures by just copying similar creature entries and replacing the names with the new entity 'game codes'. Just make sure you follow the json format with commas, don't leave a trailing comma, ect.

Hey a few questions.

First one is, if there is no footstep sound for any mob if I do not have the json config? I am asking because I hear footstep sounds and do not know if it is from this mod or not.

Second, should there be a default config file in the ModConfig folder? If not is there any such file that could be included?

Third, could you add support with config lib so that one could change values in game?
