Extra Assets Library

The Extra Assets Library is a plugin to register custom assets into TaleSpire.

Installing With R2ModMan

This package is designed specifically for R2ModMan and Talespire. You can install them via clicking on “Install with Mod Manager” or using the r2modman directly.

Installing Without R2ModMan (WIP)

You can still manually install this with the downloaded DLLs. Upon doing so, you’ll need to configure the plugin manual by updating the config file.

Player Usage

Players will start to find all your minis within the UI Asset Browser with every other minis.

Writing Mods with this

Loading an asset in:

var asset = new ExtraAssetsLibrary.DTO.Asset
   {
    Kind = AssetDb.DbEntry.EntryKind.Creature, // Future can do tiles and props
    Id = ExtraAssetsLibrary.DTO.Asset.GenerateID($"some sort of unique constant string"),
    GroupName = "Pokemon Gen I",
    Description = "Eevee, the evolution poke...",
    Name = "Eevee",
    groupTagOrder = 2, //Index in group
    Icon = icon, //Sprite (128x128)
    ModelCallback = ModelCallback, // Method
    
    // optional method to load custom base, null callback loads DefaultBase()
    BaseCallback = BaseCallback, 
};
ExtraAssetsLibrary.ExtraAssetPlugin.AddAsset(asset); // Name still WIP but methods the same.

Example Callback

public static GameObject ModelCallback(NGuid id){
  return new GameObject(); // You may want to return your actual model
}

public static GameObject BaseCallback(NGuid id){
  return new GameObject(); // You may want to return your actual custom base
}

Recommended Extra Plugin (WIP)

In the works is an Asset Distribution plugin that will be paired with this plugin.
