JSONLoader

JSONLoader

This is a simple mod for Against the Storm that allows you to load JSON files from your computer into the game.

These files can add new content or change existing content.

NO CODING REQUIRED

To add/modify content you just need to create a new file in a particular folder with the extension.json (Also known as a JSON files) and changing little bits to get the desired result.

Example: Meatlovers_good.json

_good defines the type of content you are adding/modifying.

Exporting

JSONLoader allows you to export all supported data of the game to your computer so you can copy+paste, compare or edit as you need.

Any images related to the game such as race profile pictures or building icons will be saved as.png files.

Any data such as buildings with all their info such as what recipes they can craft will be saved as.json files.

Any sound related files will be saved as.wav files.

To trigger an Export:

• Open the game
• Options -> Mods -> JSONLoader
• Change Export On Game Load to true
• Restart the game.

NOTE: The game starts it will freeze for a LONG time until its finished saving files to your PC

At the time of v1.9.3 the export folder is roughly 28mb

The exported files will be in the %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Eremite Games\Against the Storm\JSONLoader\Exported folder.

Schemas

The export folder contains a Schemas folder that will contain a.json file for all data types supported by JSONLoader.

These are helpful for you to use an online form to fill out.json files and save them instead of manually writing them which can be quite tedious.

How to use them:

• Open a.json file from the Schemas folder that you want to create a change for. Example: GoodsData.json
• Copy all the text inside it with ctrl+a and ctrl+c
• Open this url:
• Scroll to the bottom where it says Schema
• Paste the text inside the text box
• Press Update Schema
• The form will now be filled out with information about goods.
• Make your changes
• When you're done making changes copy the text under JSON Output.
• Make a new.json file with the correct extension name and paste the text inside it: eg: mynewgood_good.json

Importing

To load a JSON file into the game you need to place the file in the plugins folder of BepInEx.

-: %appdata%\ Mod Manager\DataFolder\AgainstTheStorm\profiles\Default\BepInEx\plugins

• Manual Install: AgainstTheStorm\BepInEx\plugins

When you start the game the files will be loaded and any errors will show in console.

To reload while in game press F5 and the game will reload the files, or you can modify this in the key bindings tab of Against the Storms options menu.

• Note: Removing a.json file will not update the game but changing the.json file and images it references will update in the game.

Goods

Goods are items that can be traded, sold, eaten or burned. (Wood, planks, coal... etc).

To create new goods use the below as an example and name the file *_good.json. Example: pizza_good.json

{

"guid": "MyMod",

"name": "Pizza",

"icon": "pizza.png",

"displayName": "Pizza",

"description": "Delicious New York style pizza",

"shortDescription": "Delicious New York style pizza",

"category": "Food",

"eatable": true,

"canBeBurned": false,

"burningTime": 1,

"eatingFullness": 2.5,

"tradingBuyValue": 2.3,

"tradingSellValue": 10,

"allTradersSellingThisGood": true,

"allTradersBuyThisGood": true

}

To replace existing goods just use the GUID and name of the good you want to change. If you're changing a vanilla good you can use the GUID ``.

Go to for a list of all goods in the game. and use the ID of the good as the name in the.json file.

{

"name": "[Mat Processed] Planks",

"icon": "planks.png",

"burningTime": 10

}
