New page

{{LinkButton|name=Patch 0.8.0.03|text=< Back to Patch 0.8.0.3}}

This page covers changes that effects modders. It is only useful & relevant if you are a modder.

== Weapon Classes ==
Weapon classes are now added to weapons as resources, just like you would add a weapon's upgrade or stats resource files. This is huge news!

Previously, to add a new weapon class, you'd have to edit the hardcoded <code>WeaponTyp</code> enum -- which made adding new classes very tricky, as it required a hacky workaround if you wanted to use ModLoader.

== Effects ==

=== Stat Effect ===
There are some breaking changes to existing mods:

* Removed ''stat_effect.gd''. Nearly all items now use effect.gd, which has been expanded.
* Replaced <code>effect_key</code> with <code>custom_key</code>.

=== Removed Effect Files ===
These effect files have been removed. Their effects have been replaced with just using effect.gd instead, which simplifies effect management.

* additional_weapon_effect.gd
* alien_eyes_effect.gd
* anvil_effect.gd
* dmg_when_death_effect.gd
* dmg_when_pickup_gold_effect.gd
* hp_cap_effect.gd
* pacifist_effect.gd
* remove_speed_effect.gd
* replace_effect.gd
* sign.gd
* starting_item_effect.gd
* stat_effect.gd
* tier_effect.gd
* turret_flame_effect.gd
* unique_weapon_effect.gd
* weapon_gain_effect.gd

=== Effects Changes ===
The following effects have been removed. Some of these didn't do anything, others have been renamed.

=== New Effect Files ===
These effect files are new:

* chance_stat_damage_effect.gd
* stat_cap_effect.gd

=== New Effect Keys ===
These effect keys have been added:

* consumable_stats_while_max
* convert_stats_half_wave
* damage_against_bosses
* dmg_on_dodge
* dmg_when_death
* dmg_when_heal
* dmg_when_pickup_gold
* enemy_damage
* enemy_health
* explode_on_consumable
* extra_enemies_next_wave
* giant_crit_damage
* heal_on_crit_kill
* heal_on_dodge
* starting_weapon
* stats_next_wave
* structures_cooldown_reduction
* temp_pct_stats_stacking
* temp_pct_stats_start_wave
* upgrade_random_weapon

== RunData ==
Effects have been split into 2 funcs. Previously they were all in <code>init_effects</code>, but now there's also <code>init_stats</code>.

This new <code>init_stats</code> comes with a huge benefit: TempStats can use any stat listed here! In the last version, TempStats was limited to just the primary stats that were defined in ''temp_stats.gd''. But now, this change means that custom effects that give you temporary stats can now be a lot more varied, able to affect things like <code>burning_cooldown_reduction</code>, <code>number_of_enemies</code>, <code>knockback</code>, and new effects like <code>damage_against_bosses</code>.

== DebugService ==
DebugService has some cool new tweaks:

* "Debug Weapons" now works like "Debug Items" does, by adding the specified weapons only once. Previously it would keep adding them at the end of every wave.
* There's a new option, "Disable Saving" (<code>disable_saving</code>), which stops the game from saving data. This makes it possible to use the debug option "Unlock All Challenges" (<code>unlock_all_challenges</code>), which previously saved your game (as part of its functionality in <code>complete_challenge</code>), which could disrupt up your save file.

== Misc ==
''Extra changes that might affect your mods.''

Items don't have a <code>unique</code> bool anymore. Now they're set as unique if the max number (<code>max_nb</code>) is <code>1</code>.

Custom arg color/formatting is handled differently now. Instead of using <code>arg_signs</code>, now you use "Custom Arg" (<code>custom_arg</code>). To add one:

* Increase the <code>custom_arg</code> array size,
* Right-click on an <code>[empty]</code> item,
* Choose "''New CustomArg''" (it's just below the "''New Curve''" options)

Like the old <code>arg_signs</code>, each arg that's displayed on your item's text has an index, starting from <code>0</code>. You can set the respective item's options to affect how that arg looks. While this is initially a little more complex, it does offer more options for arg formatting. For more info on what the options do, see <code>func get_arg_value</code> in ''effect.gd''.
