Trap Maker - Class Mod

Curiosity, like a squirming worm, is the perfect bait for death.

Now the trapmaker's claims will be witnessed with his own eyes. A trapmaker uses the many traps found in the dungeon to achieve his own ends. If that's not enough, his blunderbuss will assist.

The Trapmaker is a glass cannon type class best kept behind the lines. But he can provide decent damage from the backline, and often comes with conditional effects that help control the battlefield.

⚙️ Installation and use

**How ​​to install**

• Copy each subfolder in the mods folder to the Darkest Dungeon game directory (usually located in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon\`).
• This will overwrite and add some files to various folders.
• **It is strongly recommended to back up relevant files before operation**.
• Once installed, the Trapmaker will appear in Stagecoach as a recruitable hero.
• **It is recommended to start a new game**, because if you delete the mod file later, the existing professional characters in the team may cause the game to crash.

**After game update**

If the game is updated, sometimes some files needed for this mod will be cleared. Typically this requires re-copying the effects files and running the localization script again.

**Localization**

• Go to the localization folder (usually located at `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon\localization\`).
• Make sure the `[this hero name].string_table` file is in the folder.
• Run the `Localization.bat` file and it will compile the text table.

**Effect added**

Since there is currently no easy way to create additional effects as separate files, it is best to add them manually.

• Locate the effect file, usually located in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon\scripts\`.
• Open the `effects.DARKEST` file with Notepad.
• Copy and paste the lines of effect code provided by the module into the bottom of the file.
• **Note**: Missing any line may cause the game to crash. So if updating or overwriting causes problems, re-paste these lines.
• Sometimes game updates overwrite effects files, erasing all added content. If the game won't start after updating, this is most likely the problem. If this happens, re-add the effect to the mod.
