Modding Tutorials/Decompiling source code

2023-12-24T10:42:39Z

Mehni: included direct link to ILSpy releases to reduce ppl getting baited by green download button

{{BackToTutorials}}

The base game provides a bunch of code snippets in ''../Source/'', relative to your Rimworld installation. Since this isn't a lot, one might want to take a look at the game's full source code. RimWorld's [https://rimworldgame.com/eula/ EULA] allows you to decompile the game for personal use. It's recommended to read it.

The following programs are used and recommended by modders: 

=Decompiling source code=

===ILSpy===

ILSpy is generally recommended as it is the best-maintained and most reliable decompiler. The core project only has binaries for Windows, but there is an [https://github.com/icsharpcode/AvaloniaILSpy Avalonia-based port] as well as a [https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy#unix--mac CLI application for Mono framework] for OS X and Linux. 

# Download [http://ilspy.net/ ILSpy] ([https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy/releases Download latest release]) and extract it to a directory of your choosing. Optionally create a desktop shortcut;
# '''Either''': associate the .dll extension with ILSpy:
## Navigate to ''Assembly-CSharp.dll'' in ''../Rimworld***_Data/Managed/'', relative to your Rimworld installation and with *** being a version number (See Note on MacOS below);
## Right-click "Open with" and select a standard program. Navigate to your ILSpy installation and double-click ''ILSpy.exe'', tick the checkbox and accept;
## Double-click ''Assembly-CSharp.dll'',
# '''Or''': open ILSpy and open a .dll:
## Open ILSpy;
## Go to File -> Open or press Ctrl+O, navigate to ''../Rimworld***_Data/Managed/'', relative to your Rimworld installation and with *** being a version number (See Note on MacOS below);
## Select ''Assembly-CSharp.dll'' and confirm,
# Click the "+" next to ''Assembly-CSharp (***)'', you will now see a list including the items ''Rimworld'' and ''Verse'';
# Take your time to look through the source code, to make yourself familiar. If you ever need the source code, open ILSpy again:
## Ctrl+Shift+F or Ctrl+E opens the search bar which can be used to search through all loaded assemblies;
## Ctrl+F opens a search bar for the currently opened decompiled class. 

If using CLI application:
# Despite the instructions saying .NET 5.0 SDK is needed, you may also need [https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/3.1 .NET Core 3.1];
# It seems that it's possible to simply build from a [https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy/releases release tarball], even if the instructions suggest to use a git checkout;
# After you've built ILSpy, find the ''ilspycmd'' tool (should be located at ''ICSharpCode.Decompiler.Console/bin/Release/netcoreapp3.1'');
# Run a command like ''ilspycmd RimWorld/RimWorld*_Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll -p -o <output directory>'' (use proper paths to RimWorld and for the output directory);
# The given output directory now contains decompiled sources.

===dnSpy===

dnSpy is an alternative with a Visual Studio editor feel. At the time of this writing, however, the original project has been archived for more than two years and none of its forks have reached a similar level of adoption. Decompilation glitches can occur. 

# Download [https://github.com/0xd4d/dnSpy/releases dnSpy] and extract it somewhere.
# Open dnSpy.exe. Once it's open, click "open" on the top ribbon (or press Ctrl+O).
# Navigate to ''../Rimworld***_Data/Managed/'', relative to your Rimworld installation and with *** being a version number.
# Ctrl+Shift+K to open the search bar.
# Explore the assembly and look through the source code to your heart's desire.

===Rider / dotPeek===

Rider is a cross-platform IDE with a built-in decompiler. If you're using Rider as your IDE ([[Modding_Tutorials/Setting_up_a_solution#Rider_.28good_for_Mac.29|Setup Instructions]]), you can view the source of any RimWorld class or method by right-clicking its name and clicking Go To > Definition.

The developer of Rider also offers a free standalone decompiler in the form of [https://www.jetbrains.com/decompiler/ dotPeek]. dotPeek is preferred by some for reading IL Code for the purpose of Harmony transpilers, but suffers similar glitches and inconsistency as dnSpy when decompiling back to C# code.

===MonoDevelop===

MonoDevelop is capable of decompiling DLLs, albeit using clumsy initial settings. It is Linux only, otherwise you have to download Xamarin Studio which doesn't have a decompiler. 

# Download [http://www.monodevelop.com/download/ MonoDevelop] and install it;
# '''Either''': associate the .dll extension with MonoDevelop:
## Navigate to ''Assembly-CSharp.dll'' in ''../Rimworld***_Data/Managed/'', relative to your Rimworld installation and with *** being a version number (See Note on MacOS below);
## Right-click "Open with" and select MonoDevelop as standard program;
## Double-click ''Assembly-CSharp.dll'',
# '''Or''': open MonoDevelop and open a .dll:
## Open MonoDevelop;
## Go to File -> Open, navigate to ''../Rimworld***_Data/Managed/'', relative to your Rimworld installation and with *** being a version number (See Note on MacOS below);
## Select ''Assembly-CSharp.dll'' and confirm,
# '''Very important''': search for a dropdown called "Visibility" and change it from "Only public members" to "All members";
# '''Very important''': search for a dropdown called "Language" and change it from "Summary" to "C#";
# Click the "+" next to ''Assembly-CSharp (***)'', you will now see a list including the items ''Rimworld'' and ''Verse'';
# Take your time to look through the source code, to make yourself familiar. If you ever need the source code, open ''Assembly-CSharp.dll'' again. 

===MacOS Directories===

For Macs, directories are similar but in: ../RimWorldMac.app/Contents/Resources/Data/Managed.

For Steam installed RimWorld, find your app here: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/RimWorld/RimWorldMac.app.

=How to make use of a decompiler=
{{Main|Modding_Tutorials/ThingDef}}

=Tips when decompiling=
# Right-click any Type or Method and hit "analyse" to obtain more context on that item. 'Used by' and 'Uses' provide a lot of contextual clues which is required to know how things work.
# RimWorld often uses reflection to instantiate Workers and MakeThings. This means no decompiler will cleanly find what/where an instance of a class is created. Hint: if you find yourself using 'new Pawn()', you're doing it wrong.
# If you're going in circles trying to find things like "where is X assigned", odds are you'll need to look at the XML for it. The XML contains the data, C# does things with it.

Modding Tutorials/Basic Melee Weapon

2023-06-04T20:38:28Z

Mehni: fixed links and formatting

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Basic Melee Weapon}}
{{BackToTutorials}}

{{:Modding_Tutorials/Under_Review}}

This is a basic RimWorld mod tutorial for the purpose of creating a simple melee weapon.

== Goals ==
* Create a new '''machete''' item, a simple melee weapon
* Give it a '''custom texture''' with a '''color mask'''
* Give it a simple '''stat bonus'''

== Recommended Reading ==
* [[Modding_Tutorials/Mod_folder_structure|Mod Folder Structure]]
* [[Modding_Tutorials/XML_Defs|Defs]]
* [[Modding_Tutorials/ThingDef|ThingDef]]

== Sample Repository ==
[[File:ExampleMeleeWeapon.png|none|border|link=https://github.com/Aelanna/ExampleMeleeWeapon]]
A working implementation of this mod can be found [https://github.com/Aelanna/ExampleMeleeWeapon in this GitHub repository]. You can use it to compare against your work or as a basis for modification!

== Folder Setup ==

First, you will want to create the files and folders necessary for this mod:

<source>
Mods
└ MyModFolder
├ About
│ └ About.xml
├ Defs
│ └ ThingDefs
│ └ ExampleWeapons_Melee.xml
└ Textures
└ ExampleMod
├ ExampleWeapon_Machete.png
└ ExampleWeapon_Machete_m.png
</source>

Please check out the [[Modding_Tutorials/Mod_folder_structure|mod folder structure guide]] for more information about individual folders.

=== About.xml ===

Your <code>About.xml</code> is used to identify your mod to RimWorld; please see [[Modding_Tutorials/About.xml|the About.xml reference page]] for more information. Be sure to replace "AuthorName" with your own name:

<source lang="xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ModMetaData>




<packageId>AuthorName.ExampleMeleeWeapon</packageId>


<name>Example Melee Weapon</name>


<author>AuthorName</author>




<supportedVersions>
<li>1.4</li>
</supportedVersions>


<description>This is an example melee weapon mod made for the RimWorld Wiki.</description>

</ModMetaData>
</source>

=== Sample Assets ===

You can use these as the example textures:

<div class="TwoColumnCollapsibleLayout">
<div class="TwoColumnCollapsibleLayout-section">
<div class="TwoColumnCollapsibleLayout-subtitle">Weapon Texture</div>
<div class="TwoColumnCollapsibleLayout-text">
[[File:ExampleWeapon Machete.png|none]]
</div>
</div>
<div class="TwoColumnCollapsibleLayout-section">
<div class="TwoColumnCollapsibleLayout-subtitle">Texture Mask</div>
<div class="TwoColumnCollapsibleLayout-text">
[[File:ExampleWeapon Machete_m.png|none]]
</div>
</div>
</div>

== Instructions ==

=== 1. Create a ThingDef ===

Our first step is to create the XML that represents our new weapon. Whenever possible, this is best accomplished by first copying a vanilla [[Modding_Tutorials/ThingDef|ThingDef]] and modifying it; in this case we will use the vanilla [[gladius]] as our starting point, as it is the most similar existing weapon to what we want to create. The XML for the gladius can be found in <code>Data/Core/Defs/ThingDefs_Misc/Weapons/MeleeMedieval.xml</code>.

In our own <code>ExampleWeapons_Melee.xml</code>, we'll have the following content:

<source lang="xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Defs>


<ThingDef ParentName="BaseMeleeWeapon_Sharp_Quality">

</ThingDef>

</Defs>
</source>

=== 2. Modify the copied ThingDef ===

In order to differentiate our weapon from the vanilla gladius, we'll make the following changes:

<div class="TutorialTableWrapper">
{| class="TutorialCodeTable"
! XML !! Description
|-
| <source lang="xml">
<defName>ExampleMeleeWeapon_Machete</defName>
</source>
| class="TutorialCodeTable-description" |
The <code>defName</code> of a ThingDef is its identity and must be globally unique across all mods and official content. It is strongly recommended that it is prefixed with a project or mod name, so in this case we will use "ExampleMeleeWeapon_" as our prefix.
|-
| <source lang="xml">
<label>machete</label>
</source>
| class="TutorialCodeTable-description" |
A ThingDef's label is its in-game name. Unless it is a proper name, it should be in lowercase so that it can be injected naturally into sentences that use it. RimWorld will automatically capitalize it as necessary if used in titles or as the start of a sentence.
|-
| <source lang="xml">
<description>A broad blade meant for cutting vegetation in overgrown environments, machetes can be used as a broad-bladed combat knife in a pinch.</description>
</source>
| class="TutorialCodeTable-description" |
A ThingDef's description is used when inspecting the item's details.
|-
| <source lang="xml">
<graphicData>
<texPath>ExampleMod/ExampleWeapon_Machete</texPath>
<graphicClass>Graphic_Single</graphicClass>
<shaderType>CutoutComplex</shaderType>
</graphicData>
</source>
| class="TutorialCodeTable-description" |
This is where define the texture of our weapon, as well as some basic rendering settings. Similar to how defNames must be unique across all mods, the <code>texPath</code> of our texture must be unique across all mods if we want to avoid an asset collision. We will use the folder <code>ExampleMod</code> as our "namespace".

For melee weapons such as our machete, the texture defined in our <code><graphicData></code> will be used for both items on the ground as well as the equipped weapon texture. Since we want our weapon to only be colored by its materials on the blade and not have its grip color changed, we will be using a second image as a Texture Mask. This will require us to use <code>CutoutComplex</code> as our <code><shaderType></code>, so we will specify that here as well.
|-
| <source lang="xml">
<costStuffCount>40</costStuffCount>
</source>
| class="TutorialCodeTable-description" |
Since our machete is a more primitive tool than the gladius with a simple single-edged blade, we will have it cost 40 "stuff" instead of 50 like the gladius.

"Stuff" in RimWorld refers to the material it is made out of; just like the gladius, ours will be able to be made out of both Woody and Metallic stuff.
|-
| <source lang="xml">
<statBases>
<WorkToMake>10000</WorkToMake>
<Mass>0.75</Mass>
</statBases>
</source>
| class="TutorialCodeTable-description" |
Similarly, our machete is easier to make at only 10,000 work units instead of 12,000 and is lighter at 0.75kg instead of 0.85kg.
|-
| <source lang="xml">
<equippedStatOffsets>
<PlantWorkSpeed>0.10</PlantWorkSpeed>
</equippedStatOffsets>
</source>
| class="TutorialCodeTable-description" |
Historically, while machetes have been used as weapons, they are first and foremost a tool used for cutting plants and clearing overgrown vegetation. As such, we want our machete to increase the plant cutting speed of the pawn that wields it by 10%.
|-
| <source lang="xml">
<relicChance>1</relicChance>
</source>
| class="TutorialCodeTable-description" |
Unlike the gladius or longsword, machetes are generally not intended to be used as weapons and thus should not be used as often for an ideoligion's relics.
|-
| <source lang="xml">
<tools>
<li>
<label>handle</label>
<capacities>
<li>Blunt</li>
</capacities>
<power>9</power>
<cooldownTime>2</cooldownTime>
</li>
<li>
<label>point</label>
<capacities>
<li>Stab</li>
</capacities>
<power>14</power>
<cooldownTime>2</cooldownTime>
</li>
<li>
<label>edge</label>
<capacities>
<li>Cut</li>
</capacities>
<power>14</power>
<cooldownTime>2</cooldownTime>
</li>
</tools>
</source>
| class="TutorialCodeTable-description" |
A weapon's <code><tools></code> determines the types of [[Combat|melee attacks]] that can be made with it. Our machete should not be as effective as a gladius in combat, so we will reduce the power of its <code>point</code> and <code>edge</code> attacks from 16 to 14. The <code>handle</code> tool's power remains the same, as it is a secondary attack.
|-
| <source lang="xml">
<recipeMaker>
<researchPrerequisite>Smithing</researchPrerequisite>
<skillRequirements>
<Crafting>2</Crafting>
</skillRequirements>
<displayPriority>409</displayPriority>
</recipeMaker>
</source>
| class="TutorialCodeTable-description" |
Our machete is easier to craft than a gladius, and will only require a Crafting skill of 2 to make. We also want our machete to appear above the gladius in recipe lists, so we will change its <code><displayPriority></code> from 410 to 409.
|-
|}
</div>

=== 3. Done! ===

Your first melee weapon is complete! Boot up RimWorld and you should be able to see and enable the "Example Melee Weapon" mod in your mod manager. You can then use [[Development mode|dev mode tools]] to spawn the weapon directly, or craft it at an [[Electric_smithy|electric]] or [[Fueled_smithy|fueled smithy]].

If you get any errors, be sure to check out the [[Modding_Tutorials/Troubleshooting|troubleshooting guide]] or join us on the '''#mod-development''' channel on the [https://discord.gg/rimworld RimWorld Discord server].

Mehni: /* Frontpage */

== Page Creation Permissions ==
What does it take to get page creation permissions?
[[User:Lilwhitemouse|Lilwhitemouse]] ([[User talk:Lilwhitemouse|talk]]) 14:42, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
:Also interested in finding out this info, especially ''TALK'' pages. The "[[Community portal]]" says under '''Want to discuss stuff?''' "If you want to discuss anything specific to an article, you can use the Discussion page for that article.", but if an article's talk page is still empty that's not really possible: unregistered users are shown 🔒 You currently are not able to participate. You can try logging in. and newly-registered users are shown 🔒 You currently are not able to participate, because you do not have the required rights. -- so it's easier to just vandalize right away (editing articles) than to talk about what we want to improve. :-( -- [[User:Noob hoarder|Noob hoarder]] ([[User talk:Noob hoarder|talk]]) 22:09, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

== Thoughts for the future (frontpage, templates, SMW) ==

Since this wiki doesn't have an Admin noticeboard, this talk page appears to be the best spot to raise issues or thoughts.

=== Images ===
Recently I've uploaded ''a couple'' of pictures, extracted uncompressed from the game files. I tried to name them sensibly before uploading. Partly as a result of that, there are now de facto duplicates here and there, in various quality. We can try to deal with that, or just let it be. I've also started categorising images. It makes it easier to find them later, and use them in articles, if users can look through categories.

Because most "things" have 3-4 images now (east, north, south), the initial idea was to add them to a small gallery on pages. It helps to fill out some pages, and later we can add "live" shots of the animals and such as well. There is much I didn't upload, however, such as hair styles, body differences, and loads of interface images.

=== Frontpage ===
Yesterday [[User:PigeonGuru|PigeonGuru]] prompted me about the intent of the image uploads, and I touched on some more topics, including an idea for changing the frontpage. This is (probably) the page new users see first. Hope I don't step on any toes here, but I do think it could be improved. It's usually a good idea to have a brief intro or summary of the game, and those links to policy and consent and suchlike looks a little ''off'' for the frontpage, at least in such a prominent position. I see there have been quite some storms in here with edit wars, so that is probably why, but maybe it could be placed elsewhere?

My background is from Gamepedia, a wiki farm for gaming wikis, where I happened to take the lead in changing lots of stuff on the Pillars of Eternity wiki, including transitioning it from Semantic Mediawiki (SMW) to Cargo. Their sort-of default design for wikis is a dynamic setup that alters where segments are placed on the frontpage based on the width of the user's browser, using fairly simple Javascript in the .js file. I would like to try out something similar here as well -- if that is something that would be agreeable to the leadership. First in my own userspace of course. I'm not a design or CSS wizard, so it takes me time, but I'd like to try it out nevertheless. But I'd like to hear some feedback or ideas for how it can be done.

RimWorld is a dark-themed game with, suffice to say, some pretty darn dark behaviours at times (like the hats meme). I'm not sure how much extra work it would be, how badly if would affect tables and so on, but it might be fitting with a dark-coloured theme for the wiki as well, to better reflect the look in-game. Unfortunately the game doesn't really have much art assets to go on in terms of UI (it is very basic with boxes and suchlike), but otherwise we could have used some of that here, for infoboxes, stylised headings and the like. Any thoughts about this? Would it be a total no-go? I did look through the history of the frontpage a few weeks back, and it looked to have had basically the same design from the start. Have people sort of built brick by brick since then, or was it decided to have it like that, and we shouldn't change it?

:I don't think there was much of a "decision" regarding the frontpage, nobody just ever bothered changing it. I'm in favour of having a short description of the game on the frontpage. As far as the theme for RimWorld, it's as light or dark as the player wants to make it. Some colonies are all rainbows and kittens, others consist of nothing but organ-harvesting psychopaths. It reflects more on the player than on the game. --[[User:Mehni|Mehni]] ([[User talk:Mehni|talk]]) 18:06, 12 July 2019 (UTC) P.S. Welcome, and thank you for your additions.

=== Templates ===
Dear Cthulu... I've been sat here for ''hours'' trying to wrap my puny head around it, and it still doesn't make all that much sense. Like the main author [[User:Spdskatr|Spdskatr]] says in the Define/doc: <code>This template defines the stats for an item that, after a long and confusing chain of transclusions, will end up in Template:Infobox/Thing.</code>

There are loads of templates that do various things, including tiny stuff like closing a table, or making a heading. The chain-transclusions make it ''very'' hard to read and understand for regular users, or even quite experienced ones like myself. There are some errors here and there on pages, and many others still use the infobox main template instead, but given the above, it's hard to try to fix things. For all I know, it will break something else.

It is honestly tempting to start anew (and copying the relevant bits of code) instead of keep banging my head against the wall and not really getting anywhere. If we were to start over, I'd suggest to use one template for each thing instead of super-templates with loads of sub-templates and chaining. It's much easier to deal with both for users and staff -- because it's more easily understood. This is kind of a nightmare example, but imagine trying to wrap your head [https://tyranny.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Template:Infobox&action=edit around this] as a new user :D

Another dark horse here, however, is the SMW. That too is hard to get a good grip on, because it appears to be dealt with in other templates as well. More chaining.

=== Cargo ===
That brings me to another possibility: Using [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cargo Cargo] instead of SMW. Especially on the management/overview side, it is much better to use than SMW. Essentially it's a MySQL database, so it's easy to get an overview of everything, instead of the complex setup of triplets from SMW, and no proper database or table where users or admins can look at the data, check it, and fix it. Managing both the templates and the data would be easier.

Usually SMW is also a drain on performance, though I don't know if that is the case here. As usual there are lots more property+query pages than content pages (and outdated entities), but we're not talking about millions here, so it may be manageable.

I'm hesitant to suggest it ofc, because it's not a small task. I did it for Pillars of Eternity, alone, and it almost broke me, sapped me of energy. But having done it, I can use much of that code base (it largely remains intact I see, although I've not been active there for a year or two, and resigned as a wiki guardian).

All in all this wouldn't be small matters of course, and a lot of work, but I do think it would benefit the wiki, and probably make it easier to update pages now that 1.0 is out, and there are likely to be fewer mass-changes going forward.

Would be grand to hear some feedback about these ideas from the staff, ideally including [[User:Zesty|Zesty]]. If it's not agreeable by others, either as a whole or the individual ideas, then say so and we can end the discussion here.

Thanks, [[User:Pangaea|Pangaea]] ([[User talk:Pangaea|talk]]) 11:40, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

:(Brief draft here that can be deleted later)

:Obviously needs a ton of changes as the colours are all messed up, but perhaps it gives a rough idea of what I had in mind? [https://i.imgur.com/JSPCqHT.jpg Imgur image of draft]. Wanted to test out using the background from the game as the background here (I seriously love that image, it really sets the mood for the game). The central content div is slightly transparent so the background image is visible, but without distorting the reading experience too much (Well, that's the end goal). Happy accident that the logo fits fairly well in the top left corner. Not sure what that gradient is about, but that should be altered as well so the whole logo shows. --[[User:Pangaea|Pangaea]] ([[User talk:Pangaea|talk]]) 19:06, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

:Interesting. Tried to check how quickly pages are generated by using ''Edit -> Show preview'' and looking at the parser stuff on the bottom. Pages that use the Define template is routinely about 1.0 to 1.2 seconds slower than pages that use the infobox main template. Yet both contain similar amounts of SMW data. So it seems like it's the template that slows thing down, and not necessarily SMW. See if you get similar results. It's a pretty big difference when one type of page generates in 0.3-ish seconds, and another type in 1.5 seconds. [[User:Pangaea|Pangaea]] ([[User talk:Pangaea|talk]]) 12:03, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

{{BackToTutorials}}

'''[http://rimworldwiki.com/index.php?title=Modding_Tutorials/Injection&action=edit&redlink=1 Harmony] - A library for patching, replacing and decorating .NET and Mono methods during runtime'''

Harmony is the current best practice for changing the runtime execution of code in RimWorld.

To integrate Harmony into your mod for use, download the latest stable release and add it as a reference to your C# project. Make sure that you also include the dll, (0Harmony.dll) in your mod's assemblies folder. Please DO NOT use HugsLib for an "easy" Harmony implementation due to the fact that HugsLib becomes an unnecessary and unutilized dependency for mods and beginners grow accustomed to using HugsLib in all their mods even if they never touch HugsLib's API in their code. This is a bad practice, especially for beginners new to RimWorld Modding. Please only use HugsLib when you want to utilize some of its features!

Harmony is great for running code patches before (Prefix) or after (Postfix) an existing method. Usually this is all you need for your Mod. Because this does not change existing functionality of RimWorld, it MOST LIKELY does not impact other mods and runs in parallel with other Harmony patches.

''The snippets on this page are not meant as an exhaustive document on all things Harmony. Refer to the original documentation.'' This article is mostly a "this is what you can do" summary in 5 minutes.

==Requirements==
* If you still haven't [[Modding_Tutorials/Setting up a solution|set up a solution]], you're not ready for Harmony.
* You need to be able to write a [[Modding_Tutorials/Hello World|Hello World]] program.
* You don't need to know the inner workings of JIT-compilation, reflection and inlining, but a basic understanding of C# and/or programming in general is assumed in this article.

==Summary==
Harmony can alter the workings of any method. It offers three ways of doing this: prefixes, postfixes, and transpilers.

===Prefix===
A prefix is a method that runs before the original method. It can have a return type of void or bool. If a bool returns false, the original method is skipped. This will cause compatibility issues if you're not very careful. This type of prefix may also prevent other prefixes from running.

===Postfix===
A postfix is a method that runs after the original method. They are guaranteed to run. Postfixes can also alter the result. Use these for greatest compatibility.

===Transpilers===
A transpiler is a set of CodeInstructions. These alter the inner working of the method. They use low-level IL-code, from System.Reflection and System.Reflection.Emit. Refer to MSDN and Harmony documentation for more info. Transpilers are difficult to debug and therefor hard to create/maintain/update.

==Altering the result==
If the original method has a return type, you can alter its ''__result'' by passing it by ''ref''.

==Pitfalls==
===Overuse===
Harmony is a fantastic tool, that you'll soon want to use for everything. Before you do that, consider the alternatives. Can you subclass? Can you use a ThingComp? A MapComponent? There may be viable alternatives without the added dependency.
===Not changing the result?===
Forgot to pass by ref.
===How do I return a value from a void or prefix?===
That's the magic. Harmony disconnects its own return type from the return type of the original method. Consider the following destructive prefix, which gives everyone perfect knowledge of trap locations:
<source lang="csharp">
[HarmonyPatch(typeof(Building_Trap))]
[HarmonyPatch(nameof(Building_Trap.KnowsOfTrap)] //annotation boiler plate to tell Harmony what to patch. Refer to docs.
static class Building_Trap_KnowsOfTrap_Patch
{
static bool Prefix(ref bool __result) //pass the __result by ref to alter it.
{
__result = true; //alter the result.
return false; //return false to skip execution of the original.
}
}
</source>
===Getting the right method to patch===
'''AccessTools''' is a nice wrapper for reflection. The most reliable way of specifying the method to patch is by providing the Patch() method with MethodInfo. Standard System.Reflection also works. You will need to specify arguments for overloaded methods.
===Doesn't seem to get patched?===
Does your Log.Message() not show up? Set HarmonyInstance.DEBUG = true and check the new .txt file Harmony placed on your desktop. If you are trying to patch something that runs during game loading, you [[Modding_Tutorials/Hello_World#StaticConstructorOnStartup_vs_inheriting_from_Mod| may need bootstrap differently]]. Are you doing everything right? If the method you're patching is small, it may have been [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline_expansion inlined.]

==Bootstrapping==
Remember the [[Modding Tutorials/Hello World|Hello World]] tutorial? The [StaticConstructorOnStartUp] is a perfect starting point. Create your harmony instance in there, and use it to call PatchAll() or do your manual patching.

Modding Tutorials/Setting up a solution

2019-05-23T08:45:42Z

Mehni: Undo revision 63594 by Netdoorz (talk)

{{BackToTutorials}}
{{Credit|[[User:Alistaire|Alistaire]]}} 

In this tutorial you will learn how to set up a solution, along with instructions on setting the output directory and files for more convenient building right into the Assemblies folder.

=Requirements=

* The manual option in this tutorial requires you to have [[Modding_Tutorials/Mod_folder_structure#The Source and Assemblies folders|set up a Source and Assemblies folder]] (the Visual Studio automatic option sets this up for you).
* You will want to have an IDE installed: [[Modding Tutorials/Recommended software#IDE's|Recommended IDE's]]. 

=Setting up a solution=
Setting up can be different for different IDE's. Feel free to add '''''complete''''' instructions for your IDE of choice.

===Visual Studio Community 2017===
''NOTE: Visual Studio 2017 is a rather heavy application (2-3 GB for basic functionality) but has a bit more functionality. Only Install if your computer can handle it! The tutorial is similar for Visual Studio 2015.''

==== Option 1 (Manual Method):====
# Create a new class library project
## Once loaded, go to File -> New -> Project...
## Go to Templates -> Visual C# -> Class Library (Be sure to select the *.NET Framework* version, not *.NET Standard*) [[File:Capture.png|200px|thumb|right|Installing the .NET framework]]
## Enter your name and solution name in the lower pane.
## Choose a location, preferably: <pre>(RimWorldInstallFolder)/Mods/(YourModName)/Source</pre>
## ''Optional'': Untick "Create directory for solution"
# In your project, set target framework and various other porperties
## In your Solution Explorer, right click your project -> Properties
## Once in your properties, select Application -> Set Target Framework to .NET Framework 3.5 (No client profile)
## ''Optional'': Change your Assembly and Namespace names to anything of your choice
## Go to Build -> Advanced... and set "Debugging information" to none
## Leave Advanced..., and set the Output Path to "..\..\Assemblies\" (The Assemblies folder in your mod folder)
# Add references to RimWorld code
## Expand your project. Then right click "References" -> Add Reference...
## Click Browse...
## Navigate towards <pre>RimWorld******/RimWorld******_Data/Managed</pre> and select files: <pre>Assembly-CSharp.dll
UnityEngine.dll</pre>
## Click "Add"
## Click "OK" to close the Reference Manager.
## Right click on both Assembly-CSharp.dll and UnityEngine.dll and set Copy Local to False (Properties pane).

====Option 2 (Automatic Method):====
This option uses the [https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=39038.0 Rimworld Mod Development Cookiecutter] tool.
'''Note: despite being automatic and potentially taking away some of the tedium away, the environment it sets up is very particular and this tool is currently not recommended for newcomers.'''
''As of Jan 2019, the cookiecutter is set up for Windows development. Linux/Mac people can still use it, but they will have a few errors to clean up.''
# Open Visual Studio
# Once loaded, go to File -> New -> From Cookiecutter...
# Search for ''rimworld''
# Double-click ''cookiecutter-rimworld-mod-development''
# Change the Template Options:
## ''Create To'' => ''Your/Rimworld/Mod/Directory''
## ''mod_name''
## ''namespace_name'' (don't change if unsure)
## ''author'' => ''your steam username''
## ''target_version'' => current RW version (can leave blank for most up-to-date)
## ''in_game_description'' (not required, can change later in About-Release.xml)
## ''url'' (can leave blank for link to your Steam Workshop profile)
# Click "Create and Open Folder"

===Sharpdevelop===
'''Caution:''' Sharpdevelop (or #develop) does NOT CURRENTLY allow for C# 6.0+ syntax without plugins and does NOT ALLOW for C# 7.0+ syntax at all. For your average project this does not matter, however some existing projects are already built entirely upon C# 6.0+ syntax which can not be compiled anymore in Sharpdevelop. Visual Studio does not have these issues and should be your go-to for compiling large projects such as Combat Extended.

# Create a new class library project in your [[Modding Tutorials/Recommended software#IDE.27s|IDE of choice]];
## Go to File -> New -> Solution;
## Go to C# or .NET -> Library or Class Library (NOT portable);
## Enter a project name (solution name automatically updated);
## Choose a location, preferably: <pre>(RimWorldInstallFolder)/Mods/(YourModName)/Source</pre>
## ''Optional'': Untick "Create a directory for solution"/"Create a project within the solution directory",
# In your project, add references to Assembly-CSharp.dll and UnityEngine.dll:
## In your IDE project file browser, right-click the "References" folder and "Add reference";
## Choose the ".NET Assembly Browser" tab and "Browse...";
## Navigate towards <pre>RimWorld******/RimWorld******_Data/Managed</pre> and select files: <pre>Assembly-CSharp.dll
UnityEngine.dll</pre>
## Click "Open" then "OK";
## In the References folder, right-click Assembly-CSharp -> Properties and change "Local copy" to False. Do the same for UnityEngine,
# In your project properties, change the target framework to .NET 3.5:
## In your IDE project file browser, right-click "(YourSolutionName)";
## Choose Properties;
## Go to the "Compiling" tab, "Output", "Target framework", "Change" and choose ".NET Framework 3.5",
# In your project properties, change the build events so only a single file is built:
## Go to the "Compiling" tab, "Output", "Debug info" and choose "No debug information";
## Right-click your .cs files -> Properties and change "Copy to output" (If you haven't resized the properties bar, this will be truncated to "Copy to out") to Never,
# In your project properties, fix the output location to put the DLL in the Assemblies folder:
## Go to the "Compiling" tab, "Output", "Output path" and change the output path to "..\..\Assemblies\". 

===Xamarin/MonoDevelop===
The setup is similar as the one above. A few special points to address:
# Mono 4.X isn't backward compatible so you may need to install an older 3.X version of Mono in order to compile against .NET3.5 dlls.
# Make sure you uncheck "Use MSBuild build engine (recommended for this project type)" under project > options > build > general (You might find this by right-clicking on your project - not solution - name and selecting options)
# Changing the framework to 3.5 can be found (for Linux anyway) in the same place.

More detailed installation instructions for Linux can be found [https://blog.rubenwardy.com/2016/07/21/rimworld-setup-monodevelop/ here] and [https://spdskatr.github.io/RWModdingResources/mono-arch here].

===Rider (good for Mac)===
JetBrains Rider is a great cross-platform C# IDE, but it isn't cheap. It's $140 for the first year, including perpetual access to that version (access to future updates gets cheaper, but it's still over $100/year). However, the Early Access versions are a bit unstable but free. They also offer free student licenses.

# Open Rider and click New Solution in the welcome dialog.
## Click Class Library under .NET on the left. The option may a second to show up.
## Under Solution Name (and Project Name), enter the name of your mod.
## Set the Solution Directory to [your mod folder]/Source.
## Optionally check "put solution and project in the same directory." This is probably a good idea.
## Change Framework to .Net Framework 3.5.
## Click Create.
# In the left side bar, expand your solution, right click your project (mod name with "C#" icon) and click Properties.
## In the Properties window, select Configurations > Debug on the left and uncheck Debug Symbols.
## For both configurations, change the Output Path to ../../Assemblies.
## Click OK.
# Expand your project, right click References and click Add Reference.
## Click Add From.
## Browse to the folder with the RimWorld DLLs (Mac: /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/RimWorld/RimWorldMac.app/Contents/Resources/Data/Managed).
## Select both Assembly-CSharp.dll and UnityEngine.dll and click OK.
## Expand Assemblies under References. For both of the assemblies that you just added:
### Right click the assembly and click Properties.
### Uncheck "Copy Local" (you may need to scroll down) and click OK.

You're done! Note that Rider has a built-in decompiler—to view the source of a RimWorld class or method, just right-click its name and click Go To > Definition.

=Common issues=
* Can't find the option to target .NET Framework 3.5? Due to its age, it may require additional installation steps. In Visual Studio, Tools => Get Tools and features => Individual Components => Select ''.NET Framework 3.5 development tools'' (or google installation instructions). Also make sure your project is a ''Class Library (.NET '''Framework''')''. Not .NET Core or .NET Standard.

=See also=

Backstories

2019-05-08T13:08:58Z

Mehni: fixed headings

__NOTOC__

Backstories define the skills and restrictions of the [[colonist]] in question and may either enhance or impair the colonist's competence regarding specific [[skills]].

All colonists will have a childhood backstory, but only colonists generated at age 20 or older will have an adulthood backstory. Teenage colonists that age naturally to 20 years old will not gain an adulthood backstory. Currently there are 36 childhood backstories and about 85 adult backstories. Several adult backstories are not available in the character creation phase, but can randomly appear on [[raider]]s and wanderers.

It was possible to buy a DLC that allows the addition of a backstory or character into the game. As a result, some backstories are always together, in a colonist that always has the same name. This can have the unintended situation of the same person returning to life multiple times. There are 290 of such backstories, and they can be found here:

* [[List of player created childhood backstories A through M]]
* [[List of player created childhood backstories N through Z]]
* [[List of player created adulthood backstories A through M]]
* [[List of player created adulthood backstories N through Z]]

The wiki cannot display them all one a single page due to technical reasons.

From Alpha 16 onward, backstories are translatable, though translated backstories only begin to appear in Alpha 17.

Backstories

2019-05-08T12:50:38Z

Mehni: Updated to reflect latest backstory data

__NOTOC__

Backstories define the skills and restrictions of the [[colonist]] in question and may either enhance or impair the colonist's competence regarding specific [[skills]].

All colonists will have a childhood backstory, but only colonists generated at age 20 or older will have an adulthood backstory. Teenage colonists that age naturally to 20 years old will not gain an adulthood backstory. Currently there are 36 childhood backstories and about 85 adult backstories. Several adult backstories are not available in the character creation phase, but can randomly appear on [[raider]]s and wanderers.

It was possible to buy a DLC that allows the addition of a backstory or character into the game. As a result, some backstories are always together, in a colonist that always has the same name. This can have the unintended situation of the same person returning to life multiple times. There are 290 of such backstories, and they can be found here:

* [[List of player created childhood backstories A through M]]
* [[List of player created childhood backstories N through Z]]
* [[List of player created adulthood backstories A through M]]
* [[List of player created adulthood backstories N through Z]]

The wiki cannot display them all one a single page due to technical reasons.

From Alpha 16 onward, backstories are translatable, though translated backstories only begin to appear in Alpha 17.

Modding Tutorials/Linking XML and C

2019-04-14T10:39:25Z

Mehni: /* You define yourself */

{{BackToTutorials}}

[[Modding Tutorials/Writing custom code|Writing custom code]] is all well and good if you can't force RimWorld to use it! Here are three ways of linking your Code to the XML and vice versa.

=Using your C# from XML=
==A classy design pattern==
RimWorld leans heavily on Object Oriented Programming and will often expose the specific class of a Def to the XML. They're often called a workerClass, thingClass, but obviously can be named anything. Keep a look out for these, they're sometimes subtle.

===Examples===
<source lang ="xml">
<BiomeDef>
<defName>BorealForest</defName>
<workerClass>BiomeWorker_BorealForest</workerClass>
</BiomeDef>
</source>

<source lang ="xml">
<inspectorTabs>
<li>ITab_Art</li>
</inspectorTabs>
</source>

==A "Classy" pattern==
It is possible to overwrite the default class associated with a Def (or field in a def) by specifying the Class by attribute. The most common usage of this you've undoubtedly seen before is in Components: <source lang = "xml">
<comps>
<li Class="CompProperties_Forbiddable"/>
</comps>
</source>

This class override is more widely applicable than just [[Modding Tutorials/Custom Comp Classes|comps]]. It's possible to overwrite or specify almost any type you wish. Keep [[Modding Tutorials/Compatibility|Compatibility]] in mind when doing this: in the end each object can only be one [[Modding Tutorials/Def classes|Class]].

===Example===
<source lang ="xml">

<GenStepDef Class = "MyNameSpace.MyCustomGenStepDefClass"> 
<defName>Settlement</defName>
<order>400</order>
<genStep Class="GenStep_Settlement"> 
<count>1</count>
<nearMapCenter>true</nearMapCenter>
</genStep>
<modExtensions>
<li Class="MyNameSpace.MyCustomModExtension"> 
<isACustomGenStepDefClassAndAModExtensionOverkill>false</isACustomGenStepDefClassAndAModExtensionOverkill>
</li>
</modExtensions>
</GenStepDef>
</source>

==You define yourself==
Another possibility is to supply your own type in the XML. The most well-known example of this is [https://github.com/RimWorld-CCL-Reborn/AlienRaces/wiki/Let%27s-Start Alienraces]. The [https://github.com/RimWorld-CCL-Reborn/AlienRaces/blob/master/Source/AlienRace/AlienRace/ThingDef_AlienRace.cs ThingDef_AlienRace] inherits from regular [[Modding Tutorials/ThingDef|ThingDef]], and adds the alienRace tag to it. The alienRace tag then holds more information, a sample of which is shown below.

One benefit of this over the annotation method above (the "Classy" pattern) is that the added control and restriction of scope is increased compatibility with over mods. It's theoretically also easier to further subclass the AlienRace def by annotation.

===Example===
<source lang = "xml">
<AlienRace.ThingDef_AlienRace ParentName="BasePawn">
<defName>ExampleAlien</defName>
<label>Alien for example</label>
<description>This alien is really special.. because it is used as an example</description>

<alienRace>

<generalSettings>

</generalSettings>
<raceRestriction>

</raceRestriction>
</alienRace>
</AlienRace.ThingDef_AlienRace>
</source>

==Serialising custom classes==
It may sometimes be required to read/write your own datatype to XML. While we all love long strings with comma separated values, there are many cases where this is not a good idea. For that, RimWorld offers a ''LoadDataFromXmlCustom'' method. When RimWorld comes across your type during load, and the class defining that type contains the ''LoadDataFromXmlCustom'', RimWorld will use that method to parse the XML. This is done through the magic of reflection.

Note that this method fails on types that can't have a constructor. In practice, this means you can't serialise [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/structs structs].

<source lang = "csharp">
//example taken from https://github.com/LocoNeko/RoadsOfTheRim/blob/master/Source/DefModExtension_RotR_RoadDef.cs
public class RotR_cost
{
public string name;
public int count;

public void LoadDataFromXmlCustom(XmlNode xmlRoot)
{
if (xmlRoot.ChildNodes.Count != 1)
{
Log.Error("Misconfigured RotR_cost: " + xmlRoot.OuterXml, false);
return;
}
name = xmlRoot.Name;
count = (int)ParseHelper.FromString(xmlRoot.FirstChild.Value, typeof(int));
}
}
</source>

==Common issues==
You need to specify your exact Namespace.Class. There are no two ways around it. You also need to supply RimWorld with the assembly containing the type and namespace specified.

=Using your XML from C#=
There are times you'll need to use a Def or other value defined in XML.

==DefOf==
Any class with the [DefOf] annotation will automatically have its fields filled with their corresponding Def. You can then access it in other code like you'd access any DefOf, like ThingDefOf. The below example would be used as ''SomeDef def = MyDefOf.JustOneExampleDefName;''.

'''Advantages''':
* It's run-time fast.
* It's easy.
* It moves errors to startup, rather than at runtime. Early warnings save considerable testing and debugging!
** If there's an error in your code (like a typo in the defName, or a missing Def), it will detect that as soon as the game starts, rather than when it's trying to use it.

'''Disadvantages''':
* DefOfs don't get their fields filled until after the game is done loading Defs.
** This means using a DefOf before it is properly initialised gets you ''null'' - which the DefOf class is supposed to prevent.
* Has a negative influence on startup times. <ref>It uses reflection to find and fill the fields. This probably isn't the quickest, but the extent of it hasn't been measured.</ref>

<source lang = "csharp">
[DefOf]
public static class MyDefOf
{
public static SomeDef JustOneExampleDefName;
public static SomeDef AnotherExampleDefName;
public static SomeDef YetMoreExampleDefName;

static MyDefOf()
{
DefOfHelper.EnsureInitializedInCtor(typeof(MyDefOf));
}
}
</source>
The fields have to be static and public.

===That weird constructor===
It's there for your own good. If you're trying to use a Def before RimWorld had a chance to fill the field with a proper reference, it will return null. You don't want that. This constructor warns against that.

==DefDatabase==
If you only need to use a certain Def occasionally, you can look it up in the DefDatabase directly.
<source lang = "csharp">SomeDef def = DefDatabase<SomeDef>.GetNamed("JustOneExampleDefName");</source>

'''Advantages''':
* Is allowed to return null (silent failure is an option).
* Does not require an entire class.
* Is open to string based shenanigans.

'''Disadvantages''':
* Is allowed to return null. If you're not prepared for it to return null, Bad Things Happen.
* Slower than a DefOf.
* Prone to typos.

Modding Tutorials/ThingComp

2019-04-01T13:01:35Z

Mehni: /* Initialize(CompProperties props) */

{{BackToTutorials}}
< [[Modding Tutorials/Custom Comp Classes]] 

A ThingComp is a specific type of [[Modding Tutorials/Custom Comp Classes|Component]] that's attached to a ThingWithComps. Things like Pawns, Plants, Equipment, Buildings are all ThingsWithComps, so ThingComps are broadly applicable. You can add any custom code to your ThingComps for you to call manually, and it has methods called at specific occurrences that you can override.

'''Benefits''': 
<nowiki>+</nowiki> Are very well supported by RimWorld. 
<nowiki>+</nowiki> Exposes (part of its) functionality to XML. 
<nowiki>+</nowiki> Compatible with savefiles, other mods, you name it.
<nowiki>+</nowiki> Does not come with the compatibility issues and pitfalls of creating a custom Def class. 
<nowiki>+</nowiki> Can save data. 
<nowiki>+</nowiki> Can access its parent. 
<nowiki>+</nowiki> Certain functionality gets automatically called RimWorld. 

'''Downsides''': 
<nowiki>-</nowiki> Only works on ThingWithComps. 
<nowiki>-</nowiki> Requires a few extra steps to expose their functionality to XML. 
<nowiki>-</nowiki> Not suited for every type of functionality. 

== Requirements ==
* You need to have [[Modding Tutorials/Setting up a solution|set up your editor and environment]]
* You need to know [[Modding Tutorials/Writing custom code|how to write custom code]]
* You should probably understand Defs at least somewhat.

== What you'll learn ==
What ThingComps are, when and how to use them. Since ThingComps are so ubiquitous and practical, every method you can override is also included, along with a short blurb of what it does.

== Setting up ==
To implement a ThingComp, we need to inherit from the ''ThingComp'' class. This tutorial assumes you'll want to expose your Comp's functionality to XML, for that we need to inherit from ''CompProperties'' as well.

== The Code ==
RimWorld will initialise your Comp like thus:
# First the ThingMaker will create a new instance of a Def, and call this a Thing.
# ThingMaker will then call PostMake() on the instance of Thing (in our case, a ThingWithComps).
# PostMake() will call ThingWithComps.InitializeComps().
# For every entry in the Def's Comp list, ThingWithComps.InitializeComps will create a new instance of each compClass
#* If the compClass isn't set in the XML, InitializeComps will use the default Type of ThingComp to instantiate. The constructor for CompProperties can specify a different (subclass of) ThingComp to instantiate.
# ThingWithComps.InitializeComps will set the parent of the ThingComp.
#* Parent in this context is the ThingWithComps that has the Comp. For example: [[Electric stove]]s have a CompFlickable. The stove is the parent of this instance of comp.
# ThingWithComps.InitializeComps calls the Initialize() method of the ThingComp instance.
# ThingComp.Initialize() will set the CompProperties, with the properties as defined in the Def.

Note that this is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming Object Oriented Programming]: the (JIT) compiler first looks for overridden methods to call before calling the parent.

==An Example==
The below is a simple example. We'll use this later on.
<source lang = "csharp">
using Verse;
using System;

namespace MyExampleNamespace
{
public class MyExampleComp : ThingComp
{
public override void CompTick()
{
Log.Error("Let's error on every tick!");
}

/// <summary>
/// By default props returns the base CompProperties class.
/// You can get props and cast it everywhere you use it,
/// or you create a Getter like this, which casts once and returns it.
/// Careful of case sensitivity!
/// </summary>
public MyExampleCompProperties Props => (MyExampleCompProperties)this.props;

public bool ExampleBool => Props.myExampleBool;
}

public class MyExampleCompProperties : CompProperties
{
public bool myExampleBool;
public float myExampleFloat;

/// <summary>
/// These constructors aren't strictly required if the compClass is set in the XML.
/// </summary>
public MyExampleCompProperties()
{
this.compClass = typeof(MyExampleComp);
}

public MyExampleCompProperties(Type compClass) : base(compClass)
{
this.compClass = compClass;
}
}
}
</source>

==XML==
If you want to add your Comp to a Def, you use the following XML:
<source lang ="xml">
<Defs>
<ThingDef>
<comps>
<li Class="MyExampleNamespace.MyExampleCompProperties">
<myExampleBool>false</myExampleBool>
<myExampleFloat>0.005</myExampleFloat>
</li>
</comps>
</ThingDef>
</Defs>
</source>
This adds the ThingComp to your ThingWithComps and populates it fields with the values set in the XML.

If your ThingComp does not have properties, you use the following XML:
<source lang ="xml">
<Defs>
<ThingDef>
<comps>
<li>
<compClass>MyExampleNamespace.MyExampleComp</compClass>
</li>
</comps>
</ThingDef>
</Defs>
</source>
This adds the ThingComp to the ThingWithComps and uses the specified compClass.

Somewhat niche but useful: One type of CompProperties can instantiate different type of CompClasses. CompProperties_Power is a good example.

===Adding them with xpath===
If the ThingWithComps already has comps, you can use a simple PatchOperationAdd to add your comp to the list. If it does not yet have a ''comps'' node, you will need to make one. Other mods may also have the same need, which would result in incompatibility issues: Adding a ''comps'' entry twice results in only the first entry getting read. To go around this, a PatchOperationConditional is used:

<source lang = "xml">


<Operation Class="PatchOperationConditional">
<xpath>/Defs/WorldObjectDef[defName="Caravan"]/comps</xpath>
<nomatch Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<xpath>/Defs/WorldObjectDef[defName="Caravan"]</xpath>
<value>
<comps>
<li>
<compClass>MyExampleNamespace.MyExampleComp</compClass>
</li>
</comps>
</value>
</nomatch>
<match Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<xpath>/Defs/WorldObjectDef[defName="Caravan"]/comps</xpath>
<value>
<li>
<compClass>MyExampleNamespace.MyExampleComp</compClass>
</li>
</value>
</match>
</Operation>
</source>

== Accessing your Comps ==
Just setting up your custom comps doesn't do you a lot of good if you can't access them!

=== Accessing your Comp directly ===
Accessing them depends on whether or not you have a Thing or a ThingWithComps.
* ThingWithComps has a GetComp<>() method which will return the type of ThingComp specified in the <nowiki><></nowiki> if present, and null otherwise.
* Thing has a TryGetComp<MyExampleComp>() method. It will safely cast to ThingWithComps and return null upon failure. Upon success, it will return the value of ThingWithComps.GetComp<>()

It is wise to nullcheck.

=== Accessing your CompProperties ===
If you have the Comp (see above) you can access its properties like so:
<source lang ="csharp">
MyExampleCompProperties myProps = (MyExampleCompProperties)MythingWithComps.GetComp<MyExampleComp>().props
</source>

or, if you have a Props getter which does the casting for you:
<source lang ="csharp">
MyExampleCompProperties myProps = MythingWithComps.GetComp<MyExampleComp>().Props
</source>

==Overridable methods of ThingComp==
'''NOTE:''' This is up to date for version 1.0.2150. For the most up-to-date info, grab a decompiler.

It does not make sense to override every method listed here. It therefor goes without saying you should only override those methods need.

===Initialize(CompProperties props)===
Called once when the ThingComp is instantiated, and called once during loading. Most commonly used to initialise the comp props, but functionally similar to PostMake() so equally suitable for setting up default values.

===ReceiveCompSignal(string signal)===
A string based signalling system that allows for communication between comps. The counterpart of this is ThingWithComps.BroadcastCompSignal. Note that this is functionally different from [[Modding Tutorials/ThingComp#Notify_SignalReceived(Signal signal)|Notify_SignalReceived]].

===PostExposeData===
{{Main|Modding Tutorials/ExposeData}}
Used for saving and loading data. Runs after the ThingWithComps ExposeData.

===PostSpawnSetup(bool respawningAfterLoad)===
Similar to Initialize(), but be aware that there's a difference between "getting initialised" and "spawning". A ThingWithComps can be initialised without getting spawned. Useful for setting up Map- and Thing-related stuff.

===PostDeSpawn(Map map)===
Gets called after despawning. Useful for cleaning up. Note: getting despawned doesn't mean destroyed. Think: caravans, minifying, etc.

===PostDestroy(DestroyMode mode, Map previousMap)===
Gets called after being destroyed. Useful for cleaning up.

===CompTick===
Runs once every [[Time|Tick]], but only if the TickerType of the parent is TickerType Normal.

===CompTickRare===
Runs once every [[Time|TickRare]], but only if the TickerType of the parent is TickerType Rare.

There is no CompTickLong.

===PostPreApplyDamage(DamageInfo dinfo, out bool absorbed)===
Runs before damage gets applied to the parent. The bool sets if damage was absorbed or not. Full damage absorption or nothing.

===PostPostApplyDamage(DamageInfo dinfo, float totalDamageDealt)===
Runs after damage gets applied to the parent.

===PostDraw===
Called every frame. Only use this for drawing. Do not put game logic in this.

===PostDrawExtraSelectionOverlays===
Called every frame, if the parent is selected. Used by things like the DeepScanner. Only use this for drawing. Do not put game logic in this.

===PostPrintOnto(SectionLayer layer)===
It's so the ThingComp can print polygons onto the SectionLayer. SectionLayer is part of the "chunked" graphics printing system that allows us to efficiently render non-moving objects by printing them on a shared mesh and drawing them in one call. All Things have a Print method for this; PostPrintOnto is just the ThingComp hook to participate in Print.<ref>[https://gist.github.com/Mehni/b3f46b3b08f70cd74746a46f89d2d7a8]</ref>

===CompPrintForPowerGrid(SectionLayer layer)===
Same as above, but allows printing images on the power grid. This method is only called for Comps on buildings.<ref>[https://gist.github.com/Mehni/b3f46b3b08f70cd74746a46f89d2d7a8]</ref>

===PreAbsorbStack(Thing otherStack, int count)===
Used before the parent absorbs ''count'' amount of ''otherStack''. Useful for averaging out values of your Comp. e.g. FoodPoisoning.

===PostSplitOff(Thing piece)===
The opposite of PreAbsorbStack.

===TransformLabel(string label)===
Returns a string. Neurotrainers use this to identify what type of Neurotrainer they are.

===CompGetGizmosExtra===
Returns an IEnumerable<Gizmo>. Lets you add [[Modding Tutorials/Gizmos|Gizmos]] to the thing. Gizmos are the actions buttons you see when you select something, like the temperature setting buttons.

===AllowStackWith(Thing other)===
Returns a boolean that determines whether or not two Things can stack.

===CompInspectStringExtra===
Returns a string. Adds extra things to the selection box.

===GetDescriptionPart===
Returns a string. Adds extra things to the selection box.

===CompFloatMenuOptions(Pawn selPawn)===
Returns an IEnumerable<FloatMenuOption>. Lets you add a FloatMenuOption to the thing.

===PrePreTraded(TradeAction action, Pawn playerNegotiator, ITrader trader)===
Runs before the trade is completed. Useful for making Pawns very attached to a Thing, then make them hate the Pawn that sells it.

===PostIngested(Pawn ingester)===
Runs after the Thing is eaten.

===PostPostGeneratedForTrader(TraderKindDef trader, int forTile, Faction forFaction)===
Runs after it's generated for a trader. Used by CompQuality.

===Notify_SignalReceived(Signal signal)===
The ThingComp way of participating in the ISignalReceiver interface. The ISignalReceiver interface isn't used a lot in RimWorld, but the design pattern it follows is reminiscent of the Observer Design pattern, or maybe Eventhandler. Except different.

===ToString===
For debugging.

==Overridable methods of CompProperties==
'''NOTE:''' This is up to date for version 1.0.2150. For the most up-to-date info, grab a decompiler.

It does not make sense to override every method listed here. It therefor goes without saying you should only override those methods need.

===CompProperties()===
Technically not an override. A constructor.

===CompProperties(Type compClass)===
Technically not an override. A constructor which takes a parameter.

===DrawGhost(IntVec3 center, Rot4 rot, ThingDef thingDef, Color ghostCol, AltitudeLayer drawAltitude)===
Used by Fire, and other cases where you'd not recognise the Blueprint without the Comp.

===ConfigErrors(ThingDef parentDef)===
Returns an IEnumerable<string> with config errors. Don't forget to ''yield return'' every error in the ''base''.

===ResolveReferences(ThingDef parentDef)===
Part of the def loading process. Loading involves multiple stages, one of which is "ResolveReferences". Lots of defs have a ResolveReferences method. This is the CompProperties way of participating in that.<ref>[https://gist.github.com/Mehni/b3f46b3b08f70cd74746a46f89d2d7a8]</ref>

===SpecialDisplayStats(StatRequest req)===
Returns an IEnumerable<StatDrawEntry>. Useful for when your Comp adds extra stats.

== Cautions, traps, etc ==
* If you have the same comp in an abstract (XML) def and attempt to redefine it in a (XML) child def, it will get counted twice. To get around this in XML, inherit from a newly defined Parent without the Comp. It's '''not''' recommended to add the Inherit="False" tag to the comps tag, as that gets rid of all Comps. While you can get around it in code, a newly defined parent is cleaner (and less effort).
* Not every Thing is a ThingWithComps! Only Things that are a ThingWithComps (or subclass thereof) have Comps. Chunks are a notable Thing that aren't ThingWithComps.
* Casting to ThingWithComps is needlessly expensive and explicit casting can lead to InvalidCastExceptions. If it's a Thing you suspect is a ThingWithComps, you can:
<source lang ="csharp">
Thing thing;
MyExampleComp comp = thing.TryGetComp<MyExampleComp>();
if (comp != null)
{
//do stuff
}</source>
* Ticking! Make sure the TickerType and your Tick method matches. If the ThingWithComp has the Normal TickerType, CompTickRare() will never get called.
