Custom Items !

MODDING BASICS - SETTINGS

There are a ton of settings exposed for the host of the game to adjust in-game in the Settings menu. There are even more at the bottom of Config/DefaultEngine.ini - including overriding the default slot values, disabling player shuffling, and disabling the default items.

The only Settings that are saved from in-game are Volume and Visual Quality. The rest will reset when you close the game / play 1 session.

MODDING BASICS - ITEMS

To add a custom data item pack, navigate to the Data folder (Should be PachinkoDemo/Data) and drop in the ItemData.json, and Textures folder which should contain relevant textures. I've attached the sample item pack as an example.

To add items, edit the info in the ItemData.json file.

Add custom item textures to the Textures folder, and reference them from the card info in the .json file by name (including .png or .jpeg, NO GIFS! :c)

In the Settings menu in-game you can test to see if items are being read correctly. If you're seeing information displayed out of order, but cards are appearing, it's likely your json's formatting is messed up. Again, refer to the example file.

You may also want to reference the PachinkoDemo/Data/Example_InGame_Items.json file to see the values of cards currently in game, and see the item drink modifiers in action.

ITEM DRINK MODIFIERS - enter the names exactly as they appear! - these are essentially tags that allow your items to do special things.

Everyone But Holder Drinks - Should be clear, but this will make all stats (except for Drinks To Give) go to everyone except the item holder - The Drinks To Give stat will give drinks  to the holder. The stat effects will still only effect the item holder.

Player Matches Player's Drinks - Round - Doesn't do anything other than insert another player's name in to text - has no effect on gameplay outside the ordinary. (This is useful for random shenanigans (use {x} in text for names to auto-fill))

Switch Random Player Balls With Someone Else - Will select a random player and switch their balls with whoever takes/gives this item.

Holder To Everyone But Player - Makes all of the 'To Holder' stats effect everyone but the holder. Give Drinks will act as drinks for holder to take.
