Warning: Incompatible with thunderstore mod loader
To install this plugin you first need to install BepInEx as a mod loader for Inscryption. A guide to do this can be found here
You will also need version 1.11+ of the InscryptionAPI plugin.
To install this mod, you simply need to put the HealthForAnts.dll file in the same folder that the InscryptionAPI plugin exists.
In your project, you must add a reference to the HealthForAnts.dll. Example here
Once you've done that, create a class file and add these lines of code at the top. This will load the HealthForAnts ability and all the necessary abilities before your card gets loaded:
[BepInDependency("cyantist.inscryption.api")]
[BepInDependency("julianperge.inscryption.cards.healthForAnts")]
public class NameOfYourClass : BaseUnityPlugin {
// code
}
Next, creating a custom Ant card will look something like this:
[BepInDependency("cyantist.inscryption.api")]
[BepInDependency("julianperge.inscryption.cards.healthForAnts")]
public class AntsTest : BaseUnityPlugin
{
void Awake()
{
Texture2D defaultTex = new Texture2D(2, 2);
byte[] imgBytes = File.ReadAllBytes("BepInEx/plugins/CardLoader/Artwork/dome_ant.png");
bool isLoaded = defaultTex.LoadImage(imgBytes);
defaultTex.LoadImage(imgBytes);
List<CardMetaCategory> metaCategories = CardUtils.getNormalCardMetadata;
string name = "DomeAnt";
string displayedName = "Dome Ant";
string descryption = "Loves to guard his friends";
EvolveParams evolveParams = new() { turnsToEvolve = 1, evolution = CardLoader.GetCardByName("AntQueen") };
List<Tribe> tribes = new() { Tribe.Insect };
List<Trait> traits = new() { Trait.Ant };
var antHealthAbility = HealthForAnts.HarmonyInit.antHealthSpecialAbility;
var sAbIds = new List<SpecialAbilityIdentifier>() { antHealthAbility.id };
NewCard.Add(
name, metaCategories, CardComplexity.Advanced, CardTemple.Nature,
displayedName, 0, 1, descryption,
evolveParams: evolveParams, cost: 1, tex: defaultTex,
specialStatIcon: antHealthAbility.statIconInfo.iconType, specialAbilitiesIdsParam: sAbIds,
tribes: tribes, traits: traits
);
}
}
The easiest way to check if the plugin is working properly or to debug an error is to enable the console. This can be done by changing
[Logging.Console]
\## Enables showing a console for log output.
\# Setting type: Boolean
\# Default value: false
Enabled = false
to
[Logging.Console]
\## Enables showing a console for log output.
\# Setting type: Boolean
\# Default value: false
Enabled = true
in Inscryption/BepInEx/Config/BepInEx.cfg
