@bing bong 멍청한 병신: Ah, that usually happens when you have a mod that somehow interferes or adds stuff to the save/load procedure. So you probably have a mod that makes it so that you can't load the saved preset. There isn't much you can do about that since mod load order probably wont help in that case.

You can try toggling on dev mode in rimworld options. Then you will probably see whatever error that happens when you try loading the preset.

I try to avoid fixing compatibility issues with other mods, since there are like a million of them out there and I’d probably end up doing nothing else if I did.

which side should i put this mod in the load order ?
i fiddled and i managed to get the load screen appear but when i try to load one of my saved worlds i just puts me back instead of fully loading the world

@bing bong 멍청한 병신: You should get the option to do so after you've started a new game. If you don't, then you probably have a mod that is conflicting with WorldPresets.

how do you load your saved world preset ?

Thank you! Everything works great, thanks for the quick response!

@Military Commandant: I've added "advanced settings..." button to my "load presets" screen. Should solve the issue, wasn't very hard to do luckily :)

@Military Commandant: I'll see if I can implement some kind of workaround as soon as I'm able. But during this time of year I'm rather swamped with work so it might take awhile :/

Hi! I've been using this mod for a long time and I can't imagine my game without it. When switching to version 1.6, the map size and season selection screen was moved to the general world generation screen. As a result, when choosing a preset with modified season and map size settings, the map, despite the specified parameters, is generated with the default settings. Is there any way to fix this?

@Azravos Ok, It was My Little Planet causing the error. I disabled Realistic Planets but that did nothing, then I disabled My Little Planet and that fixed it. It's weird because World Presets would save the planet size from My Little Planet in 1.5

AlphaHawk59: Ah, based on what i see in the log. The problem is caused by either the mod "mylittleplanet" or "Realistic planets" or both. This kind of conflict is probably unavoidable if one or more mods are tampering with the same planet generation/load mechanics in the game that my mod also does to make preset loading possible.

Try to run the game without one or both of those mods and it should work. (Keep in mind though that presets saved with those mods active still might not be loadable even if you were to deactivate those mods. As i suspect they could be altering planet data too much for it to be compatible with the games default planet generation)

The same things happening to me. I make a new world, change a factions name, save the preset, then quit to menu. When i load it, it says "Loading World Preset" then goes back to the world presets page. The log shows 7 messages:

https://pastebin.com/z6byPfgg

The second and last messages are red.

jagdpenguin: Hmm, there is either a mod conflict or you're using a preset file that is saved with certain mods on or off. If you enable developer mode in RimWorld options you'll probably see an error message.

This mod is just not working for me, When i try to spawn a world it never loads and instead goes back to the preset menu.

I remember doing the same on older versions and the same happened

Lucinda: My mod is using the same save/load logic as the game itself uses. So if something is spawning that shouldn't be spawning after loading a preset, it's probably something the mod is doing. Has loading a preset worked without spawning cities when using RimCities in earlier versions of either WorldPresets or RimWorld?

Hey, I've been making sorta my own version of a Earth map somebody made because I really didn't like how they made the factions there, I wanted to make two versions of it one with the mod RimCities and when I load in a preset with RimCities on a bunch of cities spawn around the map. Is there any way you could change that?

Malonumas: No this mod only handles save/load of a world. Faction Customizer (link in mod description) should be able to do what you want.

Is it possible to add additional factions to an existing preset?

Yup, both of them work. Thank you for your work!

Pawns should now spawn properly even without ideology enabled. And I'm also hopeful that I've managed to get the gravship scenario to work with presets. Test it out and let me know if it doesn't.

With that being said though. I think there is a bug that makes it so that if you don't have ideology active it won't ever work. I'll see if I can fix this.

IssaRino: Ah yeah, unfortunately you need to keep in mind what DLCs/mods you used when you saved the world preset (hence why you get warning when loading a preset that was generated using mods/DLCs that are currently not enabled).

Say if the factions in the saved preset contains ideology stuff the game will try to load defs for those which wont exist because Ideology has not been loaded. Leading to an immediate crash.

I have yet to find a solution that would fix this in a way that won't lead to me having to code DLC/mod specific fixes for this for each and every DLC/mod. Which wouldn't really be sustainable.

Hi, so after playing again, I've figured out that the characters weren't spawning in due to Ideology being disabled. I thought I could let you know and post it here in case anyone else has been getting the same issue.

@Username Not now. There was 'WorldEdit 2.0' for v1.5 but the modder is inactive for years now.

Is there any mod to customise tiles to have alongside this mod?

Yeah, I've realized that there are quite a lot of issues with 1.6. But seeing as most scenarios work though I'll leave it up anyway. I'm hoping I'll be able to rewrite the logic to work with most of 1.6 features before my vacation is over.

Breaks the scenario when starting the gravship crew scenario

@тетеря, блин
Yep

does it work with «My Little Planet»? in case you know.

how does this even work? there is a save option and absolutely nothing else. It's nice to know the file path for the presets but are they supposed to go somewhere?

I'm pretty sure this is incompatible with World Tech Level, mod is working after removing it.

FYI: Not compatible with Rimworld Exploration Mode.
Generating a world from the preset would straight up crash to main menu after world generation, and loading an exact preset would make the world void (and remove most pawns).

Still a great mod, thank you for it!

Hi,
The XML files don't support the MayRequire tag. Do you have any idea why?

I'm trying to add traits from mods to pawns.

<li MayRequire="VanillaExpanded.VMemesE">
<def>VME_Elder</def>
</li>

They should only load if the mod is present, but even if it isn't present, the game loads the <li>, and I get error messages.

IssaRino: I just tried several load/save cycles with worldpresets and worldedit combined and the game started up fine with colonists landing in pods successfull as per usual. So I'm unsure as to what could cause your problem. You could try to enable "development mode" in game options and see if the dev log screen offers a clue as to what is happening (one of the white icons that appear on top-middle of the screen when development mode is enabled)

I have been solely using WorldPreset for save/load. It's fine if you'd don't know, I appreciate the work you've put into the mod and helping out. I'll be checking it out on my own time as well in case it's a problem from my side, which is most likely the case. Do let me know if you find out something though, cheers.

IssaRino: Sorry no, unless it's something that has happened in the last month or so (I haven't played RimWorld for quite awhile).

I also use WorldEdit, in fact it was the sole reason that i made this mod. Because the template save/load function of worldedit did not work as well and it kinda seemed like it started the simulation a bit before save/load which caused some weird quirks.

If I have some time later this week I'll check if WorldPresets has been broken due to a RimWorld patch or WorldEdit change or something. But I'm abit doubtful. Are you sure you're actually using WorldPresets save/load and not WorldEdit's save/load (template)?

Hi, so I've been working on a world with WorldEdit along side your mod. But, whenever I start a game, the colonists don't spawn in. Like the world still there, and it's not in an end-game state. I've tried it without any mods except for World Preset. Do you know what might cause this?

qux: Regarding the mod conflict. Yeah I try not to get too much involved in conflict solving. Because If I did, I'm afraid I'd probably not get to do anything else but solving conflicts. Due to the nature of how mods just either overrides or appends to existing RimWorld functions. Conflicts are pretty much unavoidable.

qux: Ah, I wasn't aware you could do that. I'll update it as soon as I'm able.

There is possibly an incompatibility with World Tech Level :

[WorldTechLevel v1.1.4] Detected potential conflict: The mod "World Presets" (azravos.worldpresets) adds a destructive patch that will likely override or break some functionality of WorldTechLevel.

Hi, could you add this in your about.xml ?

<loadBefore>
<li>FunkyShit.Mods.WorldEdit</li>
</loadBefore>

Okay, what mod order do I use to get this working with Worldedit?

Roads don't show when I place them, it says they are there but I can't see them.

This issue appeared after installing this

@Poindexter thx!

Just a compatibility note: this mod appears to be incompatible with Progression: Storytellers by ferny (https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3361425712) . That mod seems to modify the new game setup screens in a way that prevents the World Preset selection screen from ever appearing.

I was just banging my head against the wall, thinking I must be an idiot because I couldn't figure out how to load the presets I saved. Thought I'd share the info to save others from that same frustration.

@ Azravos

Update: I have moved this mod to my main steam account.

I was wondering what was going on. I was looking at my mod list notes and then looking for this in the inactive list so I could enable it, but it wasn't there. I couldn't figure out why they weren't there. No worries, it's just one of those great "see I knew I wasn't imagining things" moments.

Darknote: You're probably using a mod that isn't compatible with World Presets. You could try and enable dev mode in game options. That will let you see any errors being generated.

This mod does not seem to work? I load preset, it remembers just faction names, I have to select the same settings once more, and when I click next (after clicking Generate Planet), it takes me back to the main menu...

Will do. I've also just noticed that this mod saves SiteMaps & VE Outposts from previous playthroughs, which is absolutely awesome.

The Outposts won't work, but you'll still be able to visit the sitemaps as if they were there in the previous playthrough.

(Outposts will have the pawns from previous playthroughs stored, but you won't be able to control them as packing it up will create a bugged caravan, even after recruiting said pawn with DevMode. Honestly, I wouldn't bother trying to fix it, just a funny interaction I noticed.)
