Seren, the Cursed Prodigy

A hero mod, introducing Seren, a Cursed Mage who excels at casting Large, Powerful spells.

This currently does not include any events or quests related to Seren other than those available to all heroes or all heroes of a specific class.

Known Bugs

  • The damage description always appears as if the card is empowered, even if the card would not be

A couple of notes:

Notes:

  • I understand that things are going to be janky at times, and there are definitely bugs that will be worked out
  • What to do if Seren is not unlocked: Due to some jankiness of the way the code works, Seren is unlocked only for the profile that is open when you launch the game (and for new profiles). So if they aren't unlocked in the correct profile, switch to that profile, close the game and re-open it and they will be unlocked. I'll fix this in the future, but most people won't notice it. You can also just use the profile editor to fix it.
  • There are no character events for Seren at this time beyond the ones that are available to all characters of a given class (such as pet trainers or healers being able to remove cards at Rest areas).
  • Seren's selection location (in the Hero Selection screen) is intentionally in position 5 (the far right). I have not yet automated the process of placing characters, and this is to accommodate other heroes. If you wish to change this, you can access the cursedprodigy.json file and the OrderInList property with whatever you wish.

This mod relies on Obeliskial Content.

Installation (manual)

  • Install Obeliskial Essentials and Obeliskial Content.
  • Click _Manual Download_ at the top of the page.
  • In Steam, right-click Across the Obelisk and select _Manage_->_Browse local files_.
  • Extract the archive into the game folder. Your _Across the Obelisk_ folder should now contain a BepInEx folder and a doorstop\libs folder.
  • Run the game. If everything runs correctly, you will see this mod in the list of registered mods on the main menu.
  • Press F5 to open/close the Config Manager and F1 to show/hide mod version information.
  • Note: I am not certain about these install instructions. In the worst case, just copy com.binbin.CursedProdigy.dll into the BepInEx\plugins folder, and the Seren folder (the one with the subfolders containing the json files) into BepInEx\config\Obeliskial\importing

Installation (automatic)

  • Download and install Mod Manager or r2modman.
  • Click Install with Mod Manager button on top of the page.
  • Run the game via the mod manager.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
