I have insectiphobia and I'm trying to create a mod that replaces the names and icons/models of all the bugs in the game with "fish food." I'm completely new to modding Zomboid so I found some related posts but no definitive answer, and using the recommendations to those questions, I came up with my own mod, but it's not working.
I started by creating a mod folder with mod.info, poster.png, and a media folder in my User/Zomboid/mods folder. Inside the media folder are scripts and textures folders. In scrpits, I have a script called replace.txt, and in textures I have Item_FishFood.png. So the file structure can be written like this:
I'm doing a test with chips because they're a food and included in the starter kit. I've been testing variations, ex: I used the base module, changed the display name, icon, and world static model parameters, and added the override parameter, but left all the other information the same as base game.
I enabled the mod in game and have been testing it by creating new save files with the starter kit option checked, but every time I load in I still see "Chips" and the chip icon. Any ideas on how I can get it to work?
