#Asset Naviagtion & General Execution Library (ANGEL) Plugin
This is an unoffical Talespire plugin which allows use of Asset Bundle custom content assets in Talespire. Typically these assets are obtained via R2ModMan from Thunderstore but can be obtained by other means as long as the containing folder follows the R2ModMan deployment process.
This plugin replaces Custom Asset Library Plugin (CALP) and eventually will integrate the functionality of Custom Asset Library Plugin Integrated Extension (CALPIE) but CALPIE functionality has not been integrated yet.
Supported Features:
##Change Log:
1.0.0: Initial Release
##Installation:
##Usage:
The plugin provides a Thunderstore asset library similatr to the core library but showing only asset bundle based assets. The library is navigated in a similar manner to the core library.
Left Hand Icons: These indicate the category (kind) of assets such as Creature, Aura, Effect, Prop, Slab.
Mid Buttons: These are groups within the category used to organize the assets. If there are more groups than can be dispalyed
the arrows to the right of the groups can be used to cycle though the groups.
Right Hand Icons: Assets that can be added to the board. Displayed in two rows. Arrows can be used to cyclce though a row at
a time when more assets, than the screen can show, are available within the selected group.
Bottom Screen: This areas show information about the asset that was last under the mouse pointer.
F1.Note 1: At this stage, without CALPIE integration, all custom content is treated as Creature type.
Note 2: Custom Minis will also be applied on board load without the user having to take any action.
##Limitations:
.Cache sub-folder, to remove the assets file and the angel.portraits.* files.Link of creatures are used to hold the asset bundle data. If using the Link feature, the plugin content needs to be
appended to the end of the link or the asset will revert to just a base on next load. Most link will not have a problem with the
addition becuase it is added as a query parameter.##Thunderstore Asset Pack
Thunderstore packs support a number of different types such as Creature, Aura, Effect, Filter, etc. Since these functions
where performed by CALPIE and currently the ANGEL Plugin only supports CALP functionality, all assets will be treated as Creature type
regardless of their kind. They will still be placed under the appropriate category icon but auras and effects will not snap to selected
minis and filters will not snap to the camera. Instead they will all be spawned with a base like a Creature mini. This will change once
CALPIE functionality is integrated into the ANGEL Plugin but not at the moment.
