Curator adds 3 regular packs which select a random Mod, and only create Jokers from that mod.
Curator also adds the Selector Pack, a rarer and more expensive pack, allowing the player to select any valid mod for the pack to represent when it shows up mid-run.
An optional config is included to enable or disable Legendaries and Modded Rarities appearing in packs. Restart the game after applying this config.
My UI code might not be very idiot proof.

patent ivy
rogue went soft
gloomy sentinel
what's that mean
i'll assume it's a comparison to the roguelike mod where it adds mod content overtime
yeah i don't really like that mod i'd rather have every mod enabled from the start especially with stuff like tsunami
gloomy sentinel
the only one with a sprite is the selector pack and it's not a finished sprite
just a background to make it look cooler next to the other packs
the other packs are using the blank pack sprite
I'm bad at art
cyan frost
Same
gloomy sentinel
they'll get art in a later version
in terms of base functionality this mod is working
cyan frost
I'll be the judge of that
gloomy sentinel
if you get a buzzer sound on the confirm buttons it means your mod ID doesn't match a valid mod
some mods are disabled internally for functionality (betmmajokers specifically)
some mods are disabled for preference (you can find those in the config file)
you can enable or disable mods by adding their IDs to the config's blacklist table
cyan frost
I've been thinking, might be difficult but what if instead of making the person type the mod id, it displayed a menu similar to the in-game modlist that the person would just have to click?
gloomy sentinel
that's what I was thinking about doing but I am
nowhere near competent enough with UI to do that
gloomy sentinel
so right now it's manual entry
gloomy sentinel
> allowing the player to select any valid mod
Unless that's the case
I already have a system to validate the input and list every valid mod
it wouldn't be inherently difficult to limit the buttons to only valid mods
the hard part is making a system for buttons that supports a theoretically infinite number of mods
cyan frost
Or just steal copy SMODS mod menu and work from here
gloomy sentinel
i'll leave it as is for now
dont wanna jump straight into the deep end of UI code
also this already took me 2 days
cyan frost
How does it work with mods like Fusion Jokers? Does packs give fusions?
gloomy sentinel
there's a config to allow legendaries and modded rarities to appear in the packs
if that config is disabled, joker evolution and fusionjokers won't be counted as valid mods
and they will not be able to be selected
tsunami also falls under that, unless me taking ownership of splash causes issues
if the config allows them to spawn in packs, the packs can indeed create fusion jokers
cyan frost
Evolutions for free 🤑 💰
gloomy sentinel
and evolved jokers
cyan frost
Well not free you pay the pack but you get it
gloomy sentinel
yeah it's a balance thing some people may or may not want
so I put it in a config
gloomy sentinel
five, actually
me, my supervisor, my supervisor's friend, you? and that one guy i forgot the name of
cyan frost
Damn spreading the words
I don't play JE myself, it's hard to find the right jokers to evolve when you play mods
gloomy sentinel
you need to update it for the new probabilities fyi
the space joker evo is currently a downgrade because its probabilities are outdated
cyan frost
I already don't want to update Stuff so imagine my motivation for JE 😭
gloomy sentinel
fair
i'll make a pr for it the next time my supervisor complains about the space joker evo not having new probabilities
cyan frost
Lmao is JE their fav mod or something
gloomy sentinel
no
cyan frost
😔
gloomy sentinel
everyone in my little friend circle uses the same modpack which is whatever mods I have on at a given time
because I'm always up to date with smods and other stuff
cyan frost
Mod provider
gloomy sentinel
that also means they get access to my secret project mod
gloomy sentinel
aw shit
I am not sure about what this crash means
this has happened with 3 different mods, none of which crashed when I opened a pack with them on my end
well, i don't use GARBSHIT or wtvr that mod is, so idk
splatro and jojokers crashed when my supervisor played the mod
but they didn't crash when I opened their packs?
cyan frost
I opened a different modded pack and it works fine
gloomy sentinel
that crash only shows up if the mod ID is wrong
cyan frost
oh
gloomy sentinel
the way it works is it appends the mod ID to a key
cura_curated_pack_pool_ .. "splatro" would be the pool for splatro jokers
that crash means that either the mod wasn't registered
or it was registered wrong (unlikely?)
I had it normalise the mod ID, removing spaces and punctuation and capitals
(the display name shown on the pack is not normalised, because it looks nicer. That's what the issue is, isn't it?)
yeah I know what the issue is
it's using the display name and not the normalised name
my bad
cyan frost
Nice
gloomy sentinel
the mod should work now
i did not test it but i'm 90% sure the random mod boosters will work now
cyan frost
Your mod is taunting me (they're both garbshit packs)

would an option cycle work in this context? i did that for re:unlock https://github.com/wingedcatgirl/re-Unlock-All/blob/main/smods-data.lua#L84

possibly

wait this is goated
brave walrus
is it expected that entering special characters like - and * is impossible for the Selector Pack?
and if so, how does one submit the ID for a mod like Seals-Plus with an ID seals+?
(commit 7639f51 Steamodded v1.0.0~BETA-0827c)
gloomy sentinel
is it expected that entering special characters like `-` and `*` is impossible f...
yes
to enter the ID for Seals+ you just enter seals
or sealsplus for Seals-Plus
the code "normalises" the IDs for this
it'll turn stuff like SDM_0's Stuff into sdm0sstuff
I didn't design the text input to not accept those characters, but I would've removed them anyway even if it did
if you wanna see what a mod's normalised ID is to make sure, you can check the table Curator.joker_table, that contains the tables with each joker and the IDs, normalised IDs and jokers it got from each mod
I'm gonna look into the option select thing
because that would be ideal
as of currently this is the system we're going with
subtle veldt
Maybe there could be an option to use a booster art added by the mod
So a mod can add art to the booster if they want

that would be pretty cool but I have
no idea how to do that
at least, no idea how to source the pack texture from another mod
applying it wouldn't be too difficult

option select feels like it would suck major ass if you have too many mods
I'll make it so you can either use option select or the text input

@stable flame can you pin this

understandable have a nice day
gloomy sentinel

gloomy sentinel
idk if i can even add anything more to this mod
except art shit i forgot about the pack art
cinder geyser
doing art using the selector pack as a reference for curated packs
Not sure what could be put in the middle so it doesn't look as bland
actually i have a idea
gloomy sentinel
doing art using the selector pack as a reference for curated packs
Not sure what...
the selector pack was intended to be the only shiny one since it is the special one
never got much further than that on art ideas for the packs /shrug
cinder geyser
ah
thank god i had layers then, i can eaisly replace them
i've also settled on the icons being cogs. I wanted to do mod icons but i think the idea of a cog appealed more to me
gloomy sentinel
w layer usage
oh yeah a cog icon is very fitting
it could just be the default smods mod icon if nothing else
cinder geyser
i see
cinder geyser
...maybe? It looks odd as fuck
kinda reminescent of a christmas sweater but what can I do
nvm we cooking
i think.
i think these should be fine probably
i don'y know what i could do with the cog on the selector pack so i just left it there
including the .pdn files aswell incase you want to edit sth
here's how they look ingame; alongside the 2x and 1x spritesheets
this was a interesting excercise for me and i might learn from it on my future sprites, probably
gloomy sentinel
these are cool

im assuming youd be okay with these being in the mod
if so would you want to be credited as crobus or crobus72

i made them for a reasom lol, go ahead and stick them in
gloomy sentinel
awesome
gloomy sentinel
i wanted to make a mod icon but aseprite got fucky with colors
gloomy sentinel
i never figured out the aseprite issue. but it seems to only affect my existing PNG files and not .aseprite files or brand new files.
so theres an icon now !!!
updating internal version then ill push a patch
gloomy sentinel
Crabus72, please
ur in there chief
both in the release notes and in the pack descriptions ingame
one of these days i need to make like a credits tab i can use on all my mods like the config tab i keep using
tsunami will prolly get it first
cinder geyser
