Lethal Constellations

Separate your moons list by constellations.

• This mod will dynamically change your moons list depending on a configurable constellations listing.

NOTE: This mod is still in early development. Please report any issues you find as you are essentially a beta tester.

Current Features:

• If a moon is not inside the current constellation it will be hidden from the moons page and locked (using LLL)
• Contains two config files. A static config and a generated one.
  • Static config will dictate what is generated in the generated config.
  • Generated config is generated after first lobby load.
    • Currently the generated config cannot be modified using LethalConfig.
• Customizable keywords/text.
  • Dont like the word constellation? Change it in the config!
  • This mod will attempt to replace any pre-existing keywords from the config with radarbooster names as a fail safe.
    • Please avoid overwriting any base-game keywords or other mods' keywords.
    • If a terminal keyword already exists for any of the names you designate, they will be changed.
  • Customizable text for all different types of terminal commands relating to the constellations.
  • Optional shortcut keywords can also be added to each constellation.
• Current Constellation will be updated on lobby load, works between save files!
• Moon prices can also be modified by this mod or left to be handled elsewhere.
• Set routing to a specific constellation to cost credits or allow for your constellations to be free.
• Set a constellation to be a one-time-purchase, this purchase will be remembered for each save file.
  • In order to sync between players this feature requires LethalNetworkAPI to be present.
• Routing to a new constellation will take you to that constellation's default moon.
  • This essentially makes the cost of routing to this moon however much it costs to route to your constellation.
• Set which constellations the company can be routed to in the constellations config
• Hide special constellations from the menu or if you cant afford it (with configuration options)
• Allow for a moon to remain hidden while being assigned to a constellation.
• This mod does not do any patching, all game patching is done by OpenLib & LethalLevelLoader.
• Compatibility with LethalMoonUnlocks

For other mod devs looking to add compatibility:

• Subscribe to the RouteConstellationSuccess event in NewEvents.cs to call your own code when routing to a new constellation.
• Access ConstellationStuff in Collections.cs for a listing of all constellations and their ClassMapper.cs properties

If you have any ideas on how to make this mod better please feel free to reach out!

Lethal Constellations Change Log

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog.

[0.2.3]

• Fixed issue where current constellation could not be calculated when loading a save that was last at the company moon.
  • With networkapi present, this variable will be tracked in your gamesave.
  • Without networkapi present, will resort to your default company constellation as defined by [CompanyDefaultConstellation]
    • If the config item fails to find a matching constellation, will return the first constellation.
• Updated ThunderStore name to LethalConstellations (the underscore was bothering me)

[0.2.2]

• Added nullable to project.
• Fixed issue where having the default moon for a constellation set to a moon that doesn't exist would break the terminal.
  • This would happen if you removed a moon from your mod profile or if you never set a default for the constellation.
• Fixed issue where the CurrentConstellation publicized string value would be updated even if you can't afford the constellation.
  • Thanks @xCore
• Added more error handling for cases where the terminal is broken.
  • and some logging for common things that have failed in the past

[0.2.1]

• Fixed issue of non-host players being unable to join the lobby with this mod present.
• OneTimeUnlocks for Constellations is now dependent on whether or not LethalNetworkAPI is present.
  • This will be a soft compatibility and if LethalNetworkAPI is not present then constellations will fall back to normal purchase behaviour.
• Changed moon pricing list to use the actual extendedLevel from LLL rather than a string reference of it's name to hopefully fix issues with prices not updating.
• Publicized the class containing RouteConstellationSuccess so it should now be accessible.
• Raised maximum moon price to 99999
• Added orphaned config item check to remove old inactive configs

[0.2.0]

• WARNING Backup your old config file before updating, some config items have moved/changed.
• Fixed issue where Moon prices were not being updated at each lobby load
• Fixed issue where constellations could still route to the company even if the config item was disabled
• Added new handling for default config generation, will now create constellations based on moon danger level tiers.
  • When [ConstellationList] is left blank, constellations will be generated by moon hazard tiers. (A+,B+, etc.)
  • Constellation price defaults will be determined by default moon which is chosen randomly
• Added new buyOnce behavior, where a constellation can be purchased one-time and then free for the rest of the save.
  • Utilizes the game save to remember whether a constellation has been purchased already.
  • buyOnce is configurable for each constellation.
• Added config option to keep a moon hidden even while in it's constellation
• Moved each constellation's config to it's own section
• Added RouteConstellationSuccess event for other mods to subscribe to
• Added isLocked property for other mods to access a constellation and lock it if needed
• Added optionalParams property for other mods to access to input text into constellations menu via [optionals]
• Added handling for [currentWeather] to display the default moon's current weather in the constellations menu
• Updated handling for setting a moons constellation, you can now set multiple constellations for one moon
  • In the moon's constellation config item separate each constellation by a comma to register it for multiple constellations.
