Easier custom role gradient

[alpine pewter]

tried that xml, works fully except when cs aligned other townies exist i think

[steel musk]

and mien doesnt

😭

mid ahh btos2 smh

[astral talon]

that just happens sometimes iirc

sometimes itll print the full gradient cdata instead of printing the letters

[merry sail]

hi

[astral talon]

hi

[old vessel]

anyone knows how to fix roles not being able to be mentioned in the # ?

this is the xml

[chilly matrix]

Can’t be fixed sadly

I learned this the hard way

[old vessel]

oh ok

altough some people were able to do it having no problems

like this one

[astral talon]

ok so

number one issue

thats the tos2 table

you need to put that in the btos2 table (assuming this is in a btos2 lobby)

[old vessel]

no i was using it for vanilla

xml

[astral talon]

ah

it looks like it should be working?

did you save the xml?

wait no

the gradients are there so its working, just mentions

[old vessel]

i did save it

only mentions is the problem

[astral talon]

issue is

[digital musk]

yeah mentions dont work if you add custom gradients in reg tos2

in btos2 mentions work fine

its weird

[astral talon]

^ this

idk why

[old vessel]

oh ok

[astral talon]

i think without gradients in vanilla it works fine with custom name mentions

[digital musk]

i think mention text is hardcoded

[astral talon]

yes and no

[digital musk]

cause my roles are literally entirely different and typing #prosecutor still brings up my pros

[astral talon]

i explained it up here

but gradient names revert to default for mentions

its likely that vanilla just isnt set up to handle xml changes?

maybe no

[digital musk]

yeah lmao

[astral talon]

idk

[astral talon]

color in xml

so it reverts to default

[digital musk]

the color is tied to the role

[astral talon]

“one sin”

[digital musk]

not

the xml

[astral talon]

really??

pros is blue default?

[astral talon]

…huh

[digital musk]

no, theres a different mod that allows you to change role colors

[astral talon]

do you have the role colors mod?

[astral talon]

yeah i use it

but ive never had that issue

well

[digital musk]

its not even an issue tbf

[astral talon]

tbf most of my town roles are gradiented but theyre default names

so i wouldnt have that issue anyways

[digital musk]

its easier than having to type out the entirety of my custom role names

lol

[astral talon]

could be a character limit

[digital musk]

you can still type the custom role names though if you wanna mention it

[astral talon]

hm

[digital musk]

both seem to work

[astral talon]

welp if it works

[astral talon]

ill probably test that with my serial rename

it might just be that defaults and custom name changes work

but custom changes have limitations or smth

[digital musk]

its just gradients i think

if i can type this and it works there probably isnt a mention character limit

[astral talon]

probably not

it probably doesnt like cdata

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2784183/what-does-cdata-in-xml-mean?answertab=trending#tab-top

apparently cdata is just a comment but usable

[brave wren]

where BTOS stringtable

[limpid kiln]

checkpins

[brave wren]

cannot download poop.html for some reason

I need a pasteable text format

[brave wren]

pasteable text stringtable where

[brittle sonnet]

So after i edit the string table, whermst do i put it

ok i managed to break everything

this is a good start

[limpid kiln]

how\

how did you manage to break everything?

[brittle sonnet]

This

[limpid kiln]

ah so you DID manage to break everything

good start

[brittle sonnet]

Only in Btos2 tho?

I go into regular custom and everythings fine

W e i r d

[limpid kiln]

still

good start

[brittle sonnet]

ok i broke everything again

uh

Ok i fixed everything

andd the gradient isnt working

So im doing something wrong here

cause any edits that dont break everything dont do anything

[brittle sonnet]

BTOS Stringtable isnt actually in the pins here, just the gradients thing, idk where the BTOS StringTable is

[brave wren]

yeah I need a pasteable BTOS stringtable, someone please @ me while replying to the msg with BTOS stringtable

[brittle sonnet]

i got it to work in regular, somehow

[brittle sonnet]

Vanilla works Btos does not, weird

my stringtable has btos in it

[brave wren]

where BTOS stringtable

[brittle sonnet]

if i knew i would tell ya, i forgot where i got mine

[astral talon]

its up in the thread

[torpid jolt]

my custom gradients atm

[drifting relic]

ew normal icons

also jesus christ whats with you guys and gradients

[brave wren]

but where

refer to the msg with the stringtable in pasteable text format

it's not pinned AAAAAA

[primal siren]

cursed soul/jackal on their way to say nuh uh

[brittle sonnet]

This Should be a regular BTOS2 Stringtable

[brittle sonnet]

@brave wren

[brave wren]

ok ty

should I just throw it in the custom folder where the other XMLs are using the text edit mod?

[brittle sonnet]

What i did for the game to not break is paste it at the end of the regular stringtable

tho also my custom naming in Btos2 isnt working, soo

[brave wren]

oh

[astral talon]

i mean i have my own posted if you want that? its already got the necessary stuff in it

[astral talon]

yes it goes in custom

[astral talon]

ooh purple soul collector is nice

my current stringtable

[brave wren]

so do I just add that right after the default vanilla stringtable?

[brave wren]

so like this?

[brittle sonnet]

Remove the 2 stringtable things there at nothing should break

[brave wren]

oh the vanilla closing and the modded opening?

[brittle sonnet]

Ye

[brave wren]

now just beg for mods to pin

[oak apex]

checkpins

[oak apex]

@lusty lake nugget can you be the mod that pins this

[oak apex]

I pinged them while offline 💀

or not

stealth mode (or sleepwalking)

[astral talon]

ima just drop this link here before people ask how to do it again

#1200090979856818267 message

[covert wasp]

could someone teach me how do make youre role gradient cause i have no idea how

please

[oak apex]

Hold please

here’s the top of the thread if you want to look for the answer in the conversation

#1200090979856818267 message

I made a tool too if you want me to make it

or you can use the program they made

#1200090979856818267 message

yes it’s called poop.hmtl 💀

[covert wasp]

Thank you even tho im not sure how to put it in the code😅 in telling you that i truly dont know anything about it

[brittle sonnet]

so i downloaded that to test something, in BTOS it doesnt work for me, i think theres something wrong with my game now

[steel musk]

yo send those they 🔥

[torpid jolt]

I can't atm as I'm not on my pc

[steel musk]

😭

[astral talon]

works for me, are you on mac? might be differences in that case idk

||also if yall wanna share xmls… https://discord.com/channels/1197645970998054992/1228169207515185263 wink wink||

[dusky lake]

poop html bruh who made this

about to bring poop html into the 21st century

https://nyapat.github.io/gradients/

now u dont need to download it

and it looks better

[brittle sonnet]

Nope, windows 10

[torpid jolt]

Would it be possible to have a pallet saving thing? So we can easily copy gradients or another way by importing the line?

It would mean we can easily do the same gradients for a whole faction

[dusky lake]

explain

you want an easy way to get back gradient's you've done before in the site?

[torpid jolt]

Kinda

Yeah

If that's possible?

[dusky lake]

yes

it is

[brave wren]

attach that to the default stringtable and you get this "grand stringtable" as the default for all things BTOS

made sure so there's only one <StringTable> opening and </StringTable> closing

[brittle sonnet]

I downloaded that stringtable, edited a btos2 role name, went into custom+ and no changes

[brave wren]

what's the code to change an entire rolebucket to a gradient

for example I wanna change "ApocalypseColor" entirely

[brittle sonnet]

"<Entry key="BTOS_ROLENAME_115">Random Apocalypse</Entry>" maybe?

you might have to just do it per role tho

[brave wren]

then how will I get random apocalypse to show with the new color- ohhh

[brave wren]

and then where do I put the hex colors and shit?

[brittle sonnet]

at the name, like with the others (Tho idk if it works for bucket lists)

[dusky lake]

Role bucket is a type of role

[astral talon]

buckets are technically roles

ill test it eventually

i know you can mention a role bucket

[brave wren]

and how do I format it

for example I want the new apoc color to be a gradient between #00a8e0 and #00c0ff

[drifting relic]

you take apocalypse do the old cdata thing

[brittle sonnet]

Doesnt seem to work for role buckets

[oak apex]

role bucket names are defined elsewhere

in the XML

The name 'Random Town' and the Random Town that appears in the role list panel have different names, I mean

because one is multicolored

[brittle sonnet]

ah

[oak apex]

press ctrl+f (or system equivalent for Find) and search for GUI_ROLE_LIST_BUCKET_RANDOM_TOWN

[brave wren]

so what's the entire line that I have to add to change the apocs color to a gradient between #00a8e0 and #00c0ff

[oak apex]

hold

[brittle sonnet]

I think here for BTOS?

[astral talon]

bing so i can link

[short dagger]

for this, can i just paste it and edit it like a normal stringtable

[steel musk]

someone send me a good gradient

👏

[limpid kiln]

[steel musk]

[limpid kiln]

in game

[steel musk]

u finished the gradients

[limpid kiln]

also i posted MOST of them above, i said i would do some

[steel musk]

okay

but i need your entire XML

[limpid kiln]

there

[steel musk]

how good are they

[limpid kiln]

kinda bad

[steel musk]

oui oui this is something dont use yet

what should i use

to edit the XML

[limpid kiln]

idk

i use VSC

[steel musk]

oh yeayh

i was just trying to get you to say the name

BCZ I FORGOT

lol

im having some pizza

[limpid kiln]

me who is about to have subway:

[steel musk]

ah

this is

uhm

one u might use

[limpid kiln]

wdym

[steel musk]

if u wanna try

this one out

nvm

dont try it

[limpid kiln]

you do it like this

[steel musk]

erm one sec

ot was

from someone else

gimme asec

ill redo them later

i just need more help doing some other stuff

yo @short dagger you know how to make uhh custom rolenames so when you type in the custom rolename it shows the original role

like if i wanted dep to be gunman

id type n gunman

and find gunman

[short dagger]

i dont know how to make custom rolenames

its not working on my end

[steel musk]

ahh

i know someone who does

@digital musk you know how to?

[short dagger]

how do you even set up custom names

when i try to it explodes

[steel musk]

lagspikes

i need your opinion

should i make my townie name instead of being Town, should it be Civillian

and my coven be mafia

and my neutrals be

uhm

u decide that

[short dagger]

uh

first how do i set up custom rolenames

[steel musk]

uhm

im still figuring that ut

but im sure

if i researdch into the btos2 table

i can find out

just need ur opinion nr

[short dagger]

sure ig

[steel musk]

i need a neutral name

i might just go give it Marauder

Marauder Protective

or Marauder Evil

what do you think @short dagger

[short dagger]

sure

[steel musk]

alright

[short dagger]

ok why isnt this working

besides the rolename change is there anything else i need to add?

[steel musk]

okay so

uhm

so i feel like

im looking around role descriptions and stuff

[short dagger]

pat's guide is making 0 sense

[steel musk]

btw @short dagger

[short dagger]

im doing everything it says and its not working

[steel musk]

what do you think of the transformed of NA

like famine

being instead of apoc

being Destruction

Neutral Destruction / Marauder Destruction

[short dagger]

sounds kinda cool ngl

[steel musk]

like death

DEATH! HORSEMAN OF THE MARAUDERS, FACTION MARAUDER DESTRUCTION

just sounds badass

wanna see

btw do you know hwo to change the alignment color

[limpid kiln]

this mod (probably outdated now)

[steel musk]

it isnt

[limpid kiln]

this is my current Colour Swapper changes (i dont use it alot)

[steel musk]

@astral talon do you know how to change the alignment colour from the XML

AGGHHH

you are a sin

why is town cya

cyan

[limpid kiln]

cuz

yes

[astral talon]

i mean

[steel musk]

th eonly right thing there is coven and jest

and neutral

[astral talon]

colour swapper mod auto does that tbf

[steel musk]

okay so

can you also maybne explain

how to change rolenames

[astral talon]

btos_rolenames in xml

[steel musk]

noi its not that

its when we want to

like

type in the custom name

and find the custom name

[dusky lake]

??

[steel musk]

but everytime i edit that section i have to type in

[astral talon]

cant do that with a gradient

[steel musk]

awww

damn

[astral talon]

this

[steel musk]

also

[astral talon]

you can do it with a normal name, but not with a gradient

[short dagger]

its not working for me

skull

[steel musk]

and also how do i change alignment colours

[astral talon]

ive explain it before ill check

[dusky lake]

what's the best way for me to give you guys a fix for this

i have the code that does it

[astral talon]

idk how that works

[steel musk]

pat do you know hwo to change alignment colour

in the XML

[dusky lake]

like

u want to change all town to red or something?

[steel musk]

uh

[astral talon]

#1200090979856818267 message read down from here

[steel musk]

kinda

[astral talon]

i think they mean role bucket color

[steel musk]

like

[astral talon]

which im 90% sure is color swapper

[steel musk]

yeah

ill try

ty

also

yeah

i m good ty

[dusky lake]

ok

rolenames are easy to find in the stringtable

they are GUI_ROLENAME_{ROLEID}

[steel musk]

okay

[dusky lake]

role buckets are slightly further down and are GUI_ROLE_LIST_BUCKET_{ROLE_BUCKET}

[steel musk]

okay okay

rn im changing town to civillian

[dusky lake]

if i want to change color of any i go to this one GUI_ROLE_LIST_BUCKET_ANY and change the color in the CDATA tag

[steel musk]

and like neutral to marauder

and coven to mafia

normal stuff

[short dagger]

is there any other text i need to make sure it works

because currently its not

[dusky lake]

show me what you have changed

[steel musk]

so my research so far has turned out positive

[short dagger]

its the same format as on the website

[steel musk]

changing the NA of transformed apoc into Marauder Destruction worked

perfectly

so

im very proud

[dusky lake]

screenshot it

[steel musk]

cause i have not much coding experience

[short dagger]

</StringTable>
<Entry key="GUI_ROLENAME_37">Emily Jennings</Entry>
</StringTable>

this is pretty much all i have in rn

[dusky lake]

delete the first /

in the first line

save it and log out and log in

[short dagger]

im slow

[steel musk]

omg this is such a boring process but its gonna be so nice when im done

tb h

im changing all the town to civillian being in role descriptions

[short dagger]

<StringTable>

right?

[dusky lake]

yep

[steel musk]

OKAY im done with town

its time for..

covn

coven

AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

[short dagger]

would i need to make a seperate btos2 stringtable for modded

or is the non modded roles fine for both

[dusky lake]

you don't need to create two, if you want to edit btos2 role names you need to find the keys from btos2 stringtable

[short dagger]

for the rolenames i dont need to add anything else to them?

[dusky lake]

no

[short dagger]

ok somethings not working

is a notepad file gonna work

[dusky lake]

1. do you have the stringtable in the custom folder
2. do you have the stringtable named correctly? StringTable.en-US.xml

[short dagger]

or do i need to change it

its in custom

it has that name

[steel musk]

does anyone have a good dirty yellow i can use for my "town" colour

[dusky lake]

is it actually an xml file or is it txt

[short dagger]

txt

[dusky lake]

open it in notepad, go to "save as" and click "all files" then remove the .txt part

[steel musk]

IS THIS A W?

all thats left is to change faction names,

change role names

and boom

[short dagger]

what

this is stupid

my computer is fucking stupid

[dusky lake]

idk if ur on windows 11 but do this

and just remove the .txt by changing the file name

if notepad save as doesnt work

[short dagger]

sorry but how do i get to this

[dusky lake]

are u on windows 11

its different for windows 10

[short dagger]

yes

[dusky lake]

click view

go to show

[limpid kiln]

View -> Show -> File name extentions

[short dagger]

uh i dont have a show option

[dusky lake]

lol wtf

[limpid kiln]

its at the bottem

[short dagger]

i only have until content

[limpid kiln]

wtf

what kinda pc u runnin boi

[dusky lake]

here just use this if changing the ext is too hard

[steel musk]

im about to test

these new grads and role stuff

[limpid kiln]

My brain RN:

the ) everytime i pass it

[short dagger]

terrible quality but like

it wouldnt let me screenshot on computer

[limpid kiln]

go to the top

there should be a view option

[short dagger]

there is no show

[limpid kiln]

should be next to sort

[short dagger]

there is a view option

theres no show

[limpid kiln]

then how the

[short dagger]

ok thats it im going to shamelessly steal pats

ok now for editing

do i just edit source code

[steel musk]

hm

[short dagger]

StringTable.en-US.xml.xml

uh

for the file name do i remove the part where it says .xml

ok its working

im not going schizo

[steel musk]

im getting in a DTT rn

hope i get TT lmo

[dusky lake]

ok just copy paste the file in dumped into the custom folder and edit that one

[short dagger]

for btos2 stringtable can i just attach them to the regular roles

[dusky lake]

yes

[short dagger]

so like if role54 is socialite

and i have it as a set name

and i attatch btos2rolename54

[limpid kiln]

it shows as that set name

[short dagger]

(banshee)

they are different role

[dusky lake]

btos_rolename_54 but yea

look at pins for the btos2 stringtable

[steel musk]

wtf

the marshall tribunal went off but onyl 1 person got hung

uhmmm

[short dagger]

am i able to throw the
<!--Faction Winners-->
section with rolenames

[marble ivy]

among us obsession.
crew is cyan and imp is red

[steel musk]

ah

[obsidian bridge]

chat can somebody help me

[obsidian bridge]

like, some sort of simplified tutorial

[steel musk]

uh

so

send me ur xml

ill make it for you

@obsidian bridge

[short dagger]

can someone dm me where the horsemen transformation messages are

[steel musk]

which gamemode

[short dagger]

i have a cool idea for them

horsemen transformations

[steel musk]

WHICH ONE

[uncut oxide]

Try just searching for them

[steel musk]

BTOS2

[uncut oxide]

Uh

[steel musk]

OR NORMAL

[short dagger]

both

[steel musk]

alright

ill locate both

[short dagger]

ty

im not home rn but i have a cool idea for them

[uncut oxide]

@short dagger flavor text ™️ ?

[short dagger]

what is flavour text

[steel musk]

alright

@short dagger

ill name them off

[uncut oxide]

so like uh

[steel musk]

Famine: 11718

[uncut oxide]

Descriptions and stuff and flavor and theming and uh yeah idk how to explain

[steel musk]

there

jave fim

imma just be war, marauder of the apocalypse

[chilly matrix]

ok

[subtle pulsar]

reason i dont recolor roles:

if you get faction swapped (cs or tt) it shows all the color data in the role name

[marble ivy]

exactly why i dont do it either

[steel musk]

Same ngll

[subtle pulsar]

if this were fixed i would 100% have role colors for every role

[shut ermine]

Wait whats ur vigilantes name

[subtle pulsar]

Omega

[steel musk]

id wish people were on

[shut ermine]

makes sense

[subtle pulsar]

shadow is deputy

[lusty lake]

WHERE'S THAT DAMN FOURTH CHAOS EMERALD

[steel musk]

how do i fix this

?

[limpid kiln]

ask someone else

idk how

[steel musk]

😭

i just want marauder destruction

[limpid kiln]

i never gradiate my alignments

[steel musk]

its ot gradiants

its literally changing the alignment itself

[limpid kiln]

PLUS, im on FNF

[steel musk]

i want marauder evil

marauder killing

marauder pariah

marauder destruction

😏

[oak apex]

There is a second key for alignment buckets

The role “neutral killing” is different than the “neutral killing” key that is used in the roledeck

https://discord.com/channels/1197645970998054992/1228169207515185263 post xmls here

[limpid kiln]

who stopped chatting here?

[steel musk]

erm

idk

[sharp dove]

i am coming.

[steel musk]

@sharp dove

okay

so

so instead of going to custom

go to dumpde

copy the one that has US on it

i recommend downloading VSC

its good for editing code

[limpid kiln]

or use MVS

which is Microsoft Visual Studio

[steel musk]

i like VSC

its sliker

[limpid kiln]

go to the main menu of ToS2

click Mod Options

then click Dump XML

[steel musk]

wtf

whered her dumped goes

yeah

go there

[sharp dove]

i don't think that's supposed to happen

[steel musk]

you turned on a mod setting

what was it callde..

eahh..

[sharp dove]

found it

show all keys?

[steel musk]

yeah

turn that off

itgs meant for experimenting, and easier finding keys

[sharp dove]

ok i got it

what now

[steel musk]

so

go to mod actions

and find dump xmls

[sharp dove]

i got the xmls

looking for roles..

[steel musk]

okay

use

ctrl f

to find

type in

[limpid kiln]

just search up a role name

[steel musk]

ROLENAME

[sharp dove]

and
Replace every mention of the word coven?

[steel musk]

[sharp dove]

[digital musk]

latest xml

@dusty flint

you said you wanted it so

[dusty flint]

Ty!!!

[uncut oxide]

Nice

[brave wren]

warlock code?

for the xml

[dusky lake]

<Entry key="BTOS_ROLENAME_62">Warlock</Entry>

[brave wren]

is that the only line I need to add?

[limpid kiln]

exe was also added, but i think its already in the code

[brave wren]

yeah exe is in the code

[carmine shore]

Does someone have an xml I can yoink for gradiants?

[sharp dove]

hey do i have to rename this?

[limpid kiln]

just combine the BToS2 code into a XML for the vanilla game

make sure to remove </StringTable> at the end of the vanilla and remove the <StringTable> from the start of the modded

should look like this (the patch notes are vanilla, the BToS2 role names are the BToS2 stringtable)

[sharp dove]

...dumb this down i have no idea what you just said

[limpid kiln]

Take the entirety of the BToS2 xml you downloadedf

add it to the vanilla XML

and remove the </Stringtable> at the end of the vanilla one, and the <Stringtable> from the start of the modded one

[oak apex]

At rhe top of the document says stringtable in arrow brackets < >

Copy everything except those into the bottom of the vanilla XML (en_US.xml), right before its stringtable tag

Be sure to put it at or near the bottom

If there are duplicate tags, they will override the ones above them

[sharp dove]

...can you record it for me
i am seriously not understanding this

oh wait no i think i got it

hold on

[oak apex]

I will

ok

If you don’t get it give me a few minutes and I will make a recording

[sharp dove]

so like this?

[oak apex]

Yes

[limpid kiln]

where it says </StringTable> remove that and paste the entirety of the BToS2 xml into there, then remove the <StringTable> from the top of the BToS2 stringtable

[oak apex]

If it doesn’t work replace the GUI in the key name with BTOS

Some keys replace this in order to avoid compat issues

[sharp dove]

so the file name doesnt matter?

[limpid kiln]

it does not matter if you combine both XML's

[sharp dove]

still doesn't seem to be working for meunless im changing the wrong things?

[limpid kiln]

r u joining BToS2 Custom or Vanilla Custom?

BTOS roles names are for BTOS

[sharp dove]

btos custom

is it only for custom and i have to change it for TOSII as well

[limpid kiln]

its for both Custom and Casual

it works for me

Townie is my Amne rename

[sharp dove]

doesn't seem to work in btos 2 either

[oak apex]

Can you send me your XML

I might be able to fix

[sharp dove]

e

[oak apex]

ok im in a game but will look at after

[sharp dove]

@oak apex Any luck on that?

[oak apex]

ill come lok now

i keep forgetting about it tos2 is too fun

[sharp dove]

@oak apex ahem..

[oak apex]

I don't see whats wrong with it

let me load the icon pack and get into a game

i need to eat but will test after @sharp dove

im so sorry this has taken so long 😭

yeah wtf

im sorry i cant see the probelm

[sharp dove]

i think i might be missing a mod

[oak apex]

oh

[sharp dove]

i'm using custom strings

do i need a new mod for it?

[oak apex]

text editor

do you not have text editor installed

[oak apex]

Sorry I didn’t get back to you earlier

I was in a game because I forgot about this

And I focus in on that game because tos2 takes a lot of thinking

And I forgor

[sharp dove]

siiigh

[fallow pumice]

so when trying to do gradient for amnesiac how do i get it to show rolename vs this

[astral talon]

turn off text editor’s key setting

[fallow pumice]

i figured it out now i just need to find out how to change the color for town faction color itself on the roledesc

[marble ivy]

Colour Swapper mod

[fallow pumice]

true

[limpid kiln]

e

[digital musk]

[limpid kiln]

i couldnt see this

so i said e in here

[limpid kiln]

i did this

[astral talon]

ooh i should change town protective to town healing

[kind basin]

Bodyguard:

[marble ivy]

Bodyguard buff: it now heals

(real)

[subtle pulsar]

lol

[limpid kiln]

how do i change the sub-alignment text without it breaking?

[cold rain]

you already did

[limpid kiln]

im meaning in the role card

[cold rain]

oh

I'll help you tmr

[limpid kiln]

:/

[limpid kiln]

im available tmr at 3 PM PST

[cold rain]

ok

may or may not be home by then

[rustic cedar]

bro you should see the DC xml det gave me with pandora’s box like

[subtle pulsar]

mmm

[limpid kiln]

@cold rain how do i do the gradients in role cards?\

[cold rain]

okay sorry I was asleep at that time

show me what it looks like rn in your stringtable

[limpid kiln]

heres pirate, i wanna change the alignment end part (where it says Evil)

<![CDATA[<color=#a9a9a9>C</color><color=#7ebdbe>h</color><color=#54d2d4>a</color><color=#2ae6e9>o</color><color=#00fbff>s</color>]]> this is my "Neutral Evil" alignment end rename

[cold rain]

just replace the part where it says "Evil" with your gradient

you can just copy it from where you did the gradients on your Sub-alignments

[limpid kiln]

so like this?

[cold rain]

that should work yeah

[limpid kiln]

but dont i have to loop it back to a new line for this?

see

[cold rain]

oh

sorry I didn't see that

[limpid kiln]

i think i fixed it

ill see

all i did was add this line to the end

<![CDATA[</color><br><br>]]>

[cold rain]

yh that should make it work

[limpid kiln]

that fixed that, now i need to add </color>

[cold rain]

someone else had that problem lol

[limpid kiln]

fangun, WE DID IT

now i need to do it for every single role

so yey

[cold rain]

yippee

[carmine shore]

Could I perhaps have an XML of a gradiant? I'm kinda bad at making it-

[dusky lake]

https://nyapat.github.io/gradients

[carmine shore]

Right, okay, so. I have the string tables dumped for BTOS2.

I'm trying to update the XMLs for coven roles and town roles

I have the better TOS2 String Table here

[dusky lake]

unless it's a modded role you just use the vanilla key

[marble ivy]

Traitor XML extension.
Converts the Coven into Traitors.
Supports both Vanilla and BTOS2.
Coven Leader is called Changeling.

Only things unmodified are items without a string and keywords

[carmine shore]

I admit, I'm sort of a doofus and don't know where to place the gradiants for BTOS2.

Because no matter what I change in the text editor, nothing seems to change.

IE: I want to change Coven Deception into Coven Concealing

[limpid kiln]

so

where do u want it

[astral talon]

https://discord.com/channels/1197645970998054992/1228169207515185263 for the ppl that just want premade xmls

[limpid kiln]

stop self advertizing ur thread

[astral talon]

BUT ITS FUNNNN

let me be a semi-helpful bitch

[fallow pumice]

what happened to the poop.html

or how do i go to website for it

nvm

[steel musk]

im cookin up a new xml

sdhould i post in the great international XML Heist

[steel musk]

ello, mind telling me where i can change coven color from purple to another one

👍

ay @marble ivy do you know if ya can help me with this issue

[marble ivy]

Color Swapper mod

[steel musk]

no no

its not that

.

[marble ivy]

well idk im tired af

[steel musk]

okay ill explain more

so when you see

"Coven Killing"

its purple

but i want it red

anyway to ?

[marble ivy]

uhhhh

search for "Coven Killing" in the xml

[steel musk]

okay

[marble ivy]

and/or COVENKILLING

[steel musk]

okay ill ss what i mean

i want the word mafia to be red

to fkin purple

not*

[marble ivy]

that changes with color swapper iirc

[steel musk]

ahh

but that wont change the role colour i have set for certain grradients

yes?

[marble ivy]

correct

[steel musk]

gotcha

[marble ivy]

it only changes what "CovenColor" uses

[steel musk]

cuz i spent like 20 minschanging like everything into mafia

guh

alrighty

nope

that changed the role colour

not the subalighnment and faction colours

[marble ivy]

try reloading the game

[steel musk]

no no

okay

its not reloading that game for helping.

gah

stroke

that will not help

im trying to change the word mafia and mafia underlined

in the pic

[marble ivy]

yea ik

that changes with color swapper

[steel musk]

hmm

gah

but

hmm

oohohoh

ty loonie

:)

[marble ivy]

;p

[steel musk]

?

ah? i put my coven to read because its mafia- why is urs red

woh

neutral is getting a new rework just like coven and other roles

liek apocalypse

[marble ivy]

to show it does change it

[steel musk]

k

[marble ivy]

I only use Color Swapper to change the vanilla CS color

[cold rain]

Juggernaut that looks like Starspawn so it doesn't look like Inquisitor

[cold rain]

ykw? red would be really fitting for Coven...if Witch and the Coven weren't Purple in ToS1

which, unfortunately, they were, because BMG decided to add Mafia to a game that's literally about the Salem Witch Trials

I mean, the Coven Leader icon has always been red

it went from a red hat, to a blood moon...the another red hat

[drifting relic]

it was black hat with red inside

then became blood moon

[marble ivy]

[steel musk]

real

[chilly matrix]

LIGMA

[shut ermine]

BALLS

[carmine shore]

[marble ivy]

[limpid kiln]

i wonder if we can make custom keywords

[cold rain]

i was honestly going to try that yesterday

but I couldn't be bothered

[digital musk]

keywords are hardcoded inside a json that is in the dll

you cant

[astral talon]

this

iirc there isnt an xml key for those at all

[astral talon]

ok nevermind i checked later

apparently there are XML entries for keywords under "verbs"

i changed tribunal to purge, will see if it worked

[limpid kiln]

yeah keywords can be RENAMED, but no news one can be added

heres an example

[limpid kiln]

@night terrace

thats the BTOS2 string

its maybe out of date

heres the updated one

[night terrace]

do i put it inside the en-us.xml

or put the xml inside custom

next to the en-us

[limpid kiln]

so you have the en-us.xml on ur clipboard correct?

if so, take that and put it in ur custom

then enter the xml and scroll all the way down

remove that </StringTable>

then for the BTOS2 stringtable, copy ALL OF IT

then remove the <StringTable> at the start

one you have done that, paste it into the en-us.xml

at the end of it

then edit a role name, save the xml and go into Custom+ or Casual

check the role you edited via bukket or True Any

if it shows your custom name, you have done it

[night terrace]

ohh got it

[limpid kiln]

it should appear in game

[night terrace]

mhm, mhm.

[limpid kiln]

what role did you rename?

[night terrace]

admirer

[limpid kiln]

can you send me a screenshot to see if it worked?

[night terrace]

it works but

it still uses #admirer

[limpid kiln]

yeah'

[night terrace]

but it shows the new name

[limpid kiln]

it doesnt change the #

[night terrace]

ahh ok

got it

[night terrace]

mhm mhm.

yeah i got it working

ty

[limpid kiln]

ur welcome

[limpid kiln]

hey so i have seen on Executioner's screen that for jailor, they have the attack value shown, how do i do that?

[limpid kiln]

i love editing xmls

[astral talon]

i like that

fine ammo

[limpid kiln]

i need to fix that

<Entry key="GAME_303" style="good_alert">You must wait a day to find ammo for your Scattergun.</Entry>

fixed it

@astral talon

[limpid kiln]

yo null

[astral talon]

yay!

[digital musk]

so, regarding this thread

i am currently coding a mod that allows you to add gradients per faction (not role, that would become tedious to both code and configure)

(if you dont want to have a gradient for a faction, just set the start and end to the same color)

[covert wasp]

@digital musk thats so good tysm

[cold rain]

adding one more message here for...reasons

[covert wasp]

Do you know when you'll finish it by any chance?

[digital musk]

just finished it
