I'm getting crashing whenever she's supposed to talk about being too hot. Not totally unplayable, I just can't cook too many things at once. I'm afraid what's going to happen when summer comes though...

Clarification: If updates happen, they will still be published here. The github is for would-be maintainers.

Good news: Whimsy is now on github, because frankly my stewardship of this project has been awful and she deserves better than this. https://github.com/voidpointer2005/whimsy-the-goth

Her one wish... To make a public Hot Topic

Nope, just tried reinstalling both Whimsy and Don't Starve, hasn't made a difference I'm afraid :/

Sir Laughsalot:

That is super weird... I'll try to investigate further and see if I can figure out what's going on. Maybe try uninstalling her (and/or the game) and reinstalling? (Yeah, we're falling back on THAT old I.T. standby.)

Hey, sorry I took so long to reply, I’ve tried disabling all my other mods, and it hasn’t made a difference. There haven’t been any error logs so far, the game works perfectly, it just doesn’t have whimsy in it. I have debug spawned her, so the mod is present at least, it just doesn’t seem to allow me to select her

Laughsalot, Mozarela,

I ran a quick test on my local machine, but as far as I can tell, Whimsy is running correctly. Can you try disabling any other mods you've installed (to see if some incompatibility may be causing the issue) and, if the problem persists, sending me your error logs?

Might be a compatibility issue with a recent patch. I'll have to have a look when I'm back from vacation.

Mod doesn't work for me. I can't see her as playable character in character section menu.

Also I forgot to say all my worlds where I had been playing with her just changed to Wilson all of a sudden.

Hey, I love whimsy, but recently i haven't been able to select her when starting a new world, she just doesnt show up. I've tried disabling all my other mods, but nothings shows up. The mod does call itself "Whimsy the Goth (DST), despite this being in singleplayer, don't know if that's relevant.

Thank you, you're welcome.

Spideymon,

No problem at all. I looked into your issue, and it turns out I made a pretty goofy mistake. The game checked (for DST) if certain items were marked as equippable, but not (for DS) if they had a dapperness component, so any item (like a straw hat) that normally doesn't affect sanity by being equipped, but does for Whimsy, causes the game to crash in DS. This was a good catch, and your bug report was essential in helping me sort it out, so thank you! I should have a new version uploaded in a few minutes.

Thanks for responding. No, I remember I disabled all of them, still not able to. Anyways, here's the message.

The following mod(s) have caused a failure: Whimsy the Goth (DST)
...t_starve/data/../mods/workshop-289099215/modmain.lua:379: attempt to index field 'dapperness' (a mil value)
LUA ERROR stack traceback:

Then below it said the mod will be disabled.

I noticed it said 'Whimsy the Goth (DST)', I wonder if that had anything to do with it. Anyways, again, thank you.

Spideymon,

If you can send me the image, I can try to reproduce the issue. Are you using any other mods? If so, which ones?

I hate to be the one guy who's having problems but, everytime I select Wendy, the game loads but then crashes. I have a screenshot of the error if you're interested.

Kindra: You're very welcome!

i've been waiting forever for her to be DST, thank you so much!

Oh,well.Thank you very much!:)

Rikku:

Whimsy is the best. She is hard, but she is powerful if you are good. Play her for ten million hours. :)

You write too much,I cant understand!!!!:(

You're very welcome! *secretly breathes a sigh of relief at the lack of an avalanche of bug reports...*

I absolutely love Whimsy, thank you so much for putting her in DST!!!

It's finally done. Whimsy's in Don't Starve Together.

Do let me know if any of you guys find any bugs, or if you try her out in RoG.

Dev log, day 14 of development. We're in code freeze for testing of the new release. I only have one problem: The readme is horrendously out of date, and I'm not sure if I remember everything I added.

Development log. Stardate... four.

I have succeeded in getting Whimsy walking around in Don't Starve Together. The new client-server dynamic is proving challenging, but I've learned how on Earth net variables work, and I'm starting to learn how not to immediately crash the game when I write new code. Many of Whimsy's core functions still work, and I've restored some of them. Her nightvision works even better now, and removing her umbrella in broad daylight now has the amusing consequence of near-blindness. However, several core functions still need updating, such as her refusal to eat raw meat. Still, I am heartened that my interoperability code is working; it should be possible to support Don't Starve with the same codebase (roughly speaking).

Now, if only I could work out how the little avatar on the multiplayer start screen works, or get her to talk about the sunrise on the client...

Best yet to work on a large portrait ^^

Wow, I had no idea that Whimsy had gotten anywhere near as popular as she has! I'm waaaay overdue for thanking you guys myself. So, thanks! I'll be sure to help Void work on any art assets that need updating with her, and with testing too. =)

@Jarosticy: Nah, she's a goth, not an emo. :P

Everyone, I'm deeply shocked and honored to open this page, over a year after I abandoned the project in a panic, to discover that over a THOUSAND people are subscribed to Whimsy, and that people STILL comment here. In the words of Strong Bad, "That is not a small number! That is a BIG number!"

I'm going to try to do better by you guys. I can't promise much, but I can promise I'll do my best. Thank you all for your patronage.

@Faestorm: After the ludicrous delays in making her DST compatible that I've incurred, I can't in good conscience accept your offer, but I'm deeply flattered nonetheless. She might actually work okay in RoG if you set the flag in modinfo.lua, it's just that I utterly cannot test her there. I might buy RoG, but for now I'm focusing on DST, then on merging the DST and DS versions so I'm only working off one codebase, *then* maybe I can do RoG. That said, it seems like a lot of the RoG stuff is in DST. All that said, feel free to try her out and send me bug reports. Maybe I can fix her by sheer dead reckoning. :D

@WodnikPL: Próbuję! :) Ponadto, nie mówię po polsku. Przepraszam! Używam tłumacza google! :)

@Vuohi: Sanity gain in the rain with an umbrella is intentional. Whimsy loves the rain because of how dreary it is, but hates being actually wet with an undying passion. I'm working on the config options and rot touching bugs (wow! I'm actually WORKING ON HER again! I know!). I'm also adding configurable nighttime sanity gain, though I'll note parenthetically that the daytime sanity loss is mainly intended to make you carry the umbrella everywhere. The idea is that she can't/shouldn't use tools. That said, it might not be punishing enough to do that effectively. I'll add a "Brutal" option for that.

@Natashi: I'm working on the DST version. I kept meaning to, and I kept looking at the API, and it was BIG and DIFFERENT and CONFUSING and then I got anxious about how long it was taking, so I kind of shut down. SW will happen if/when I can make it happen, which may not be for a while.

edgy

Mam nadzieję że dodasz Whimsy do Don't Starve Together :3

Hey if I bought RoG for you and gave it to you would you make her RoG compatable?

A few more comments:
- I'd like a config option to adjust her nightly sanity gain, currently it feels a little too high. Since daytime sanity loss is easy to negate by carrying an umbrella, she effectively has a large net sanity gain at the cost of occupying one inventory slot.
- contrary to what the description says, she doesn't appear to actually lose sanity from touching rot.

i sincerely hope there's going to be a SW version for her. i've been hoping for a DST version but at the very least i'm at least hoping for a SW one

Also, I notice she _gains_ sanity in rain instead of losing it if she's holding her umbrella. Is that intentional or a bug?

Her config options are a little buggy - if I choose None as the starting umbrella, it reverts back to the previous choice when I click Apply.

Derringer: I'm absolutely intrerested in contributions. I'll have to have a look at your changes to learn about RoG - and refamiliarize myself with poor Whimsy's code. It's been so long that I forgot she would complain about my coding skills if she got attacked by Charlie! XD

Oh, and I'll have to merge the code, too. I actually got a goodly number of things working, including her DST atlases, before RoG dropped on my head. She could actually walk around and randomly crash the game!

OMG, VoidPointer, you're alive! ;-)

I agree, DST really shook up the works. It certainly knocked the more exotic functions in my nunpublished ight light mod for a loop, not least by completely reworking how shadow creatures are managed, and transparentonsanity became client-only... bleh.

Let me know if you're actually interested in contributions. ;-)

Oh, btw: taking a lightning bolt hit in RoG deactivates Whimsy's light aura. Had it happen twice underground when a Rook whacked an altar, and another time on the surface engaging Moslings at night. Magiluminescence saved her bacon, though she was complaining loudly about your coding skills after taking the odd hit from Charlie. ;-)

Wow, it has been... a truly unreasonable amount of time since I last updated this. I'm really sorry, and all I can really say in my defense is, "Well, I had just about figured everything out, and then DST dropped the Reign of Giants stuff in and all the APIs changed, so I had to start over." And then my work became a lot more... interesting (read: soul-crushing).

Derringer: Since I eventually plan to release a version with DST support, and since that one will ultimately supersede the other version, I'd prefer to maintain control of the project. However, I really appreciate your support, and I'd happily add you as a contributor if you're still interested.

Spade: A sound change is actually in the works. Eventually. I've got two words for you: wind chimes. No male version is planned, though. She's cuter as a girl. :)

I've started working through finishing RoG support, and already addressed differences in the handling of dapperness, waterproofing and insulation, and refactored the three umbrella scripts into one Since you seem to be short of time, do you mind if I release RoG and/or DST versions?

COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE A MALE VERSION!?

I do suggest changing her sound into a piano or violin :D

I played 5 secs with her, Love it! shut up and take my money!

When will the together version be released?

ShakerGER: Done. I appreciate your donation!
Sasidash123: I'm sorry to hear you don't like Whimsy. Do you have any specific issues with her, or is she just not to your taste?

Not so good... No offence + (Don't judge me)

Just accept me and a donation is on your fucking way man!
