Item Tips

Shows helpful UI tips about items when you are in proximity to them. This included coolness, curse, synergies, and a short description. Adds extended description to the ammonomicon entry for the item.

Additional features:

• load tips from external files
• cooldown counter for active items

There is an in-game configuration section under Mod Config > ItemTips.

External tip files

External tip files are json formatted files. The ItemTips will search all mod folders for files matching the pattern "itemtips-*.tip".

The format of the files:

{
    // note metadata is optional.
    "metadata": {
        "name": "My Item Tips",
        "url": "url to find updates",
        "version": "1.0.0"
    },
    "items": {
        // Key is the console name used in the mtg api console.
        "prefix:item_name": {
            "name": "Item Name", // item name is optional.
            "notes": "A description of the item."
        }
    },
    "synergies": {
        // Key is the AdvancedSynergyEntry.NameKey of the synergy.
        "Synergy Name": {
            "notes": "A description of the synergy."
        }
    }
}

The console command itemtips generate will generate a sample file for all loaded items and synergies. To show only items for a specific prefix use itemtips generate my_prefix.

To load external files, either include tip files in a mod or set the "External Data Path" configuration value for the ItemTips mod to a directory to load from.
