Anyone got documentation/example of how to use the config tab API?
(SMODS.current_mod.config_tab)
Thanks in advance! ^^
#SMODS config tab API?

It relies on the UI, and everyone builds their own UI, you can find information on how to start using the UI in the wiki, though, honestly, there should probably be an example mod that's just an easy config page, I'll look into making one sometime.
golden idol
Ah I see
Dang I'd really hoped I don't have to dip my toes deep for a simple check option 😓
How much of a hassle is it?
glossy bronze
It's no doubt a learning curve, but I'd say it's on the same level as contexts, looks intimidating, a little rough the first few times you experiment with it, then it really clicks.
golden idol
Alright! sounds fairly easy then, Thank you very much :D
Good luck with making an example mod, seems necessary
golden idol

I, up until now, relied exclusively on SMODS documentation, so I have no idea what wiki you're talking about, could I get a link please? 😅

Thanksies!!

Alright, I have a config page set up with a couple of checkmarks hooked up to a config.lua, now how do I grab their values?
Specifically during injection, as I want to link 'em to atlas positions and such 🤔
glossy bronze
Alright, I have a config page set up with a couple of checkmarks hooked up to a ...
local config = SMODS.current_mod.config
golden idol
`local config = SMODS.current_mod.config`
config is nil, could this be because I'm calling it during injection? ☹️
Huh, I looked it up here and it seems plenty had the same issue before, including you 😅
glossy bronze
What does your config.lua look like?
golden idol
glossy bronze
I think try surrounding your variables in [''], so it'd be ['jokers_designs'].
golden idol
config is nil, could this be because I'm calling it during injection? ☹️
again, it's config itself that's nil, it won't even bring the file up
unkempt remnant
where are you accessing the config, and where is the config file at?
golden idol
Config file is next to main.lua
I'm trying to call it during injection, as in setting a Joker's atlas
unkempt remnant
you need to save a reference to the config somewhere in your main file (not within any other object), SMODS.current_mod gets overwritten after the initial loading phase
is your config file's name exactly config.lua?
golden idol
Yup
golden idol
you need to save a reference to the config somewhere in your main file (not with...
That's what I've been doing!
unkempt remnant
can you show code?
unkempt remnant
config.getValue?
golden idol
it doesn't matter anyway, config itself is nil
unkempt remnant
crash please
golden idol
but yeah what's the proper way of calling out of config, just ["jokers_designs"] 🤔
glossy bronze
You can just do config.jokers_designs, or config['jokers_designs'].
golden idol
glossy bronze
I assume you're hiding it here for a reason, but, do you wanna DM me the code so I can mess around and figure it out?
golden idol
like the whole mod?
glossy bronze
Sure.
golden idol
Alright haha
function get_design gets called in line 942 to set a joker's atlas to either one of these
unkempt remnant
this isn't config itself being nil, it's design[config.jokers_designs] being nil
that's designs.Redesign
wait what
try printing config
golden idol
What's the command for logging 💀
unkempt remnant
sendDebugMessage(tprint(config)) should do
glossy bronze
In the black console, and you may need to remove the crashing line.
golden idol
this isn't config itself being nil, it's design[config.jokers_designs] being nil
This was correct, thank you
