New POP CULTURE combos release!

Finally, after lots of testing and playthroughs, a new mod is ready for download. The theme is Pop Culture, from movies and music, to books and nursery rhymes. Sorry, it's only in English (nothing is translated in other languages).

Instructions:
First, you're going to want to dowloand Daxar's liTools 0.3.7 here and follow the instructions to the letter.

Before you continue, you'll want to make a backup copy of the Little Inferno.exe in the liTools folder, so that if you want to do any other modding, you can use that backup copy and set aside this copy you'll soon be updating with my combos.

Next, download the new combos here.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/eq0dxcgb4m25e22/popculturecombos.zip?dl
Unzip the folder inside the liTools folder, then drag-and-drop popculturecombos.pak onto the modManage.exe program. That will update the game, and now you can open Little Inferno.exe from inside the liTools folder.

I'll respond later with other comments, like how to make your own combos.

Oops! I got a little ahead of myself this morning, and released a working version that gives a really high pay-out on some combos. (This was to make it faster to play through in the testing phase.) I fixed that, and just re-uploaded the zip file to my dropbox, so if you already downloaded the new combos, you'll want to re-download them. Otherwise, if you're just coming here, you're safe to use the download link above.

Please let me know what you think, and if there are any errors that make the game crash. If you want hints for combos, you'll have to wait. Some are built in to the letters.

Sweet! I have no idea for most of these (I don't follow pop culture like, at all), but looks great so far.

Also, combo #37 answers a question about how the game is set up. Apparently a combo unlocks when all the catalogs for all the items in the combo are unlocked. Good to know!

For future reference, you only need to distribute the .pak file. The .filelist.txt is only there for creating the .pak file; it'll merge and decompress just fine without it!

EDIT: I'm totally loving your writing style for Sugar Plumps, by the way. Top notch!

I'll wait to give hints, but I will suggest you use google search to help with the combos. For example, Michael Crichton was an author. Search for which books he wrote, then see if any match the catalog items. I actually used google search A LOT to find book/song/movie titles that went with certain combos.

In the My Pictures item of this mod, there was a problem with the three pictures you can select to burn. I just figured out the problem, and have re-uploaded the zip with the fix. Technically there was no problem with the addin in the first place, just that now it's how I intended it to be.

Does this work with the steam version?
I copied the .exe version of the game steam gives you (NOT just the shortcut, but the .exe), created a copy, stripped (worked fine), Decompresssed (worked fine) and used the mod on the modmanage (merger results stated: Warning: Conflict with mod resource 3085189639. Overwriting...
Done.). When I tried to use the littleinferno.exe inside the litools folder, it said that file steam_api.dll was required. When I put the correct .dll that corresponds to little inferno in the litools folder, the game run, but I looked through the combo list and didn't see anything different. Could someone please help?

I wish I could help you, but I don't know anything about running the Steam version. Sorry.

I think I have a copy of LI on Humble Bundle, I'll try it with that.
Edit: It works! LItools doesn't work with the steam version of Little Inferno, as the steam requires the steam_api file, which somehow doesn't work. After using the LI from Humble Bundle, it works!

Thanks for downloading, and let me know what you think. I know some of the combos are hard (you kind of have to read my mind), but I hope you enjoy another play-through, and there are some twists at the end (referring to the combos, not the little jaunt to Tomorrow Corporation).

From what you wrote, it looks like you're doing everything right. Kirdneh had the problem of playing the Steam version, which doesn't support my mod. What version of the game are you playing?

When you say it doesn't work, what's the error? Does it crash right away, or when you buy a certain item? Or when you make a certain combo?

Man, I wish I could help you troubleshoot, but I don't know much about what makes the game crash. If you do get it to work, you'll want to start a new chimney, so you receive all the letters and special items. Continuing from a game you've already won won't work.

Have you installed any other mods? Did those work?

Very odd.
Are you running the latest version of Little Inferno? Be sure you're at v1.2

23boy, I've shared a few other replacement items, like the One Ring and the Crayolas (which are also mods). Have those worked for you? Maybe you should try to update your game to v1.2 like Daxar said.
