A basic class mod to get you going!
Instructions for use: Download the mod. Unzip to your stonehearth mods directory, as a peer to stonehearth.smod and radiant.smod. Make sure the folder is named startermod_class, not startermod_class-master.
Before digging into the mod files, if this is your first time modding, you may want to checkout startermod_basic
Inside the startermod_class folder, you should see a manifest.json file, and this folder structure:
├───ai
│ ├───actions
│ │ └───combat
│ └───packs
├───data
│ └───monster_tuning
│ └───undead
├───jobs
│ └───necromancer
│ ├───images
│ ├───necromancer_abilities
│ ├───necromancer_outfit
│ └───necronomicon
├───locales
└───recipes
This structure is similar to the structure inside stonehearth.smod. The files are referred to in the mod itself by aliases which are defined in manifest.json along with mixintos and other meta data.
For example, the necromancer class talisman is referred to as necromancer:talisman which is defined in the mainfest as:
"necromancer:talisman": "file(jobs/necromancer/necronomicon/necronomicon_talisman.json)",
The new necromancer class is added to the game by mixing jobs/index.json file into Stonehearth's jobs/index.json file. In the manifest that looks like this:
"mixintos" : {
"stonehearth/jobs/herbalist/recipes/recipes.json" : "file(recipes/recipes.json)",
"stonehearth/jobs/index.json" : "file(jobs/index.json)"
},
The jobs index mixin adds startermod_class:jobs:necromancer to the list of jobs in Stonehearth, and the description alias startermod_class:jobs:necromancer maps to jobs/necromancer/necromancer_description.json - which is the starting place for the class and holds the basic information like parent_job and points to the other resources via aliases.
The herbalist recipe mixinto above adds the Necronomicon recipie to the Herbalist workshop. With that, the necromancer class is hooked into the game.
