EssenceData

Data mod containing Essences for Units. This mod by itself does not surface the mechanic in-game.

Currently the mod defines essences for the MT1 units, along with Dante, Shield and Spear Steward.

If you wish to help with designing essences for the MT2 units there is a spreadsheet.

For Modders

You merely only need to define a dependency on this mod to use.

If you wish to conduct Fusion a RewardData subclass is already defined and setup. Just grant the reward and the player is allowed to use an available unit to fuse with another.

"id": "UnitSynthesisReward",

"type": "custom_class",

"custom_class": {

"id": "@UnitSynthesisRewardData",

"mod_reference": "EssenceData"

},

"show_animation_in_event": true,

"show_cancel_override": true,

"collect_sfx_cue": "Collect_CardRare",

"costs": [ 50 ]

},

To define an essence for a custom unit.

This is done via a dependency on Conductor and defining a map between unit essence upgrade. This is a 1:1 mapping that is an essence upgrade is only associated with one character and one character has only 1 essence.

Examples of how to define an essence are in the json/essences folder

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.
