Special thanks to @JoStro and @Kusoro for helping me along the making of this!
Version 2.0 storms away all of the known bug and made this extremely robust!!!
Installation
- Make sure you have installed Steamodded as it is used for the loading of this module.
- Download the folder CardBackInjection into the mods folder of Steamodded (you can also download the.zip file and unzip there directly, this is mostly for r2mm so there will be extra files. You only really need the folder!) and you are good to go!
Sanity Check: The path should look something like ".../Mods/CardBackInjection"
Usage
You can use the function ReadCardBackInfo() to find your desired cardback via it's name. All of your card back arts of format b_{cardbackname}.png will be added to the game. You can write any_var = ReadCardBackInfo() at the beginning of your initialization code. You can then use this arbitrary any_var to read the position of your own card backs. This mod will initialize itself upon SMODS.INIT, so you don't have to do anything other than getting information to read your cardbacks.
Please make sure that you prepare a 71x95 version of your b_{cardbackname}.png in your assets/1x/ folder and a 142x190 version of your b_{cardbackname}.png in your assets/2x/ folder for each of your card back to be supported with and without pixel smoothing!
Currently if you want to use a custom texture pack, you will want to replace the OGEnhancer.png in the assets folder of this to your own texture pack. I will be working on getting rid of this step soon!
Example
Suppose you have file b_mycardback.png in your mod's assets folder (either in your mod's folder or in the general Mods folder, for both 1x and 2x), do this at the beginning of your mod init function:
_info = ReadCardBackInfo()
you can then simply find the corresponding sprite / spritePos attribute via
_info["mycardback"]
which will look something like { x = 2, y = 5 }, they can be arbitrary value bounded by however deep it gets.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- 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. These mods need a community loader first — the bundled readme usually points to its download.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
