Game Dev Tycoon modding

That’s just same what I thinked about when saw this mod.
I’m on other computer, so cant download it, but it looks cool.

Hi guys, thank you for giving our mod a try!

We will work asap on visibility issues (we will investigate floating windows, thank you @MrRain!) meanwhile you can try to minimize the chat window using the first button on the left to reduce overlapping.

Thank you!

Thank you @kristof1104!

We were inspired by great modders like you, @alphabit and many others. We hope to solve the overlapping issue with your mod as soon as possible.

Regarding the mod usage: due to the great job of GreenHeart Games we have a game without big static moments, so we planned this feature more as a tool for “instant game experience sharing” than a big chat environment.

After all, as GHG says: “Less Social. Less Ville. More Game” :smiley:

Is it me or did everyone read the title as Cheat Mod at first? :stuck_out_tongue:

@LineLiar Yeah got my attention as wel :stuck_out_tongue: haha
@Zeratul Thx for the kind words :slight_smile: You could create a pause button in the chat UI so players can pause the game to chat that would help I think :smiley: still great job on the mod

Cheers Kristof

Thank you @Charlie, much appreciated :sunny:

#16

@Zeratul so it’s basically a Multiplayer game? or Does it use Steam Friendlist to chat?

#17

Oh that could be an issue since I’m not on steam…

#18

Since there is also a standalone version too for Game Dev Tycoon, we thought using the steam friend list would have been a bit restrictive. This is a server-client architecture which connects every player who launches the game (with this mod activated) to the same server.

This is actually the base for a greater interaction in the future, which will brings us to a real competitive multiplayer mod, much similar to the great mod created by @kristof1104.

Hey guys, we have released the new version! Now the chat panel can be dragged and dropped everywhere on the screen!

Thx to @MrRain for the suggestion of this feature!

Enjoy!

Nice!
I’m having some issues though with activating the mod.
I extracted the .zip and dropped the folder into the mods folder but it doesn’t show up in the mods list in game and I have restarted the game a few times already.

#23

Remember to not extract directly the first folder in the zip (the folder named gdtchatmod-master) but the one inside it (named ChatMod).

Let me know if that fixs your issue

#24

As 1 falls, 2 more arise…

It may just be too many mods at once which I will check now but even when dragging the chat box out of the corner, my console ticker and Hardware Budget disappears.

EDIT:
Also, “Error unable to communicate to the WebSocket Server”

#25

Should work now :smile:

@Zeratul chat just froze… Anything you might’ve updated or just server lagg?

#27

I have to beg your pardon (and everybody else too), we are working on the new version of the ChatMod and you may experience some server difficulties. It should improve in the next couple of hours. If you still experiencing problems, tell me at once and I’ll work out a solution :smiley:
