Chalk++

Installation

Make sure you don't have an older version of Chalk++ installed at the same time!

Manually unzip in your GDWeave directory to install

Or import this zip as a local mod through R2MM etc.

Usage

Y is the default hotkey and is changeable. While using Chalk++, the trees and benches on canvasses are made invisible and intangible.

Modes

• Checkerboard (Half) dithering
• Dotted (1/9th) dithering
• Masking (freehand drawing)
• Fill
• Symmetrical Mirroring

Controls

1. Equip a chalk to activate Chalk++

2. Press Y cycle modes, hold down <shift> + Y to cycle backwards

3. You can hold down <SHIFT> while using checkerboard pattern to offset the cells targeted by -- It's hard to explain but you'll see what I mean.

4. you can mask while using dithering brushes, by holding <CTRL>

5. In addition to alpha masking you can select a specific masking color by holding <ALT> and scrolling your mouse wheel-- any chalk that you draw outside of this color will be discarded

6. While holding down <ALT> click on a canvas cell to select the color of the cell as your masking color

7. To fill, equip the chalk/color you'd like to apply, select fill mode from the menu, and click on the color/area you wish to fill

Options

Chalk++ options can be changed in-game using the Tacklebox UI in settings or by manually editing the GDWeave\configs\Toes.ChalkPlusPlus.json file.

• useEraserAsChalk (Default: true): whether or not holding eraser should be considered the same as holding a chalk. I.e., a 'brown chalk'. Changing this to false will allow you to use the eraser while in any mode. Setting this to true allows you to use the eraser as a chalk with Chalk++ features.

Roadmap and feature requests

Changelog

v1.3.0 - Mirror Mode 🪞

• Added new mode: Symmetrical Mirroring that replicates your chalk drawings horizontally over the Y-axis!
  • Masking works for this mode and applies to both transformations being applied (This could change potentially later...)
  • We will consider adding X and/or Y symmetry toggling upon request, if we receive any feedback or requests about this.
  • We tried out X+Y symmetry and it was neat but not super useful-seeming 🤷
• While holding down <CTRL> to enable the masking utility, or using the masking tool, the UI overlay will now indicate that masking is active.

v1.2.0 - Eraser++

• Eraser now behaves by default just like a chalk. See options for more details and how to toggle this feature on/off.
• While using Chalk++, benches and trees on canvasses will be hidden.
  • If using Calico, a small config change is needed in order for this to work, for now.
• Restored warning when attempting to fill the incompatible aquarium canvas.

v1.1.0 - Fixes galore

• UI Overlay style refinement
• Fixed eraser being blocked by Chalk++
• Fixed large fills not propagating to peers (and therefore not persisting)
  • This shouldn't happen but please report if you are auto-kicked by an anti-Stamps mod for filling

v1.0.2

• Hotfixed white chalk not working

v1.0.0

• Now requires Tacklebox as a dependency to manage hotkeys (since BlueberryWolfi's APIs haven't been updated in nearly a year and are dysfunctional- not actually saving any of the player's keybind changes. Somebody should make a better Webfishing API ...🤔)
• Minor changes/fixes
• Code overhaul

v0.2.0 - UI Hotfix, Typeface change

• Hotfixed dangling UI dependency causing issues for some players
• Added cute font typeface for Chalk++ UI

v0.1.0 - UI

• Added basic UI/HUD overlay for keeping track of mode selection and mask picking

v0.0.12 - Performance and Quirk Fixes

• Now requires Socks 0.4.0 - be sure to update that!
• Fixed Alt-tabbing while drawing - will no longer continue drawing as if your mouse is still held-down (Vanilla bug)
• Performance improvements!
• Your mode, masking color, etc. now consistently reset to default between different lobbies
• Mostly unseen/internal code refactoring

v0.0.11 - No-More-Stamps Mod Circumvention/Fix

• Large canvas fills are now batched when larger than 1000 cells in order to prevent tripping Stamp-mod detection (this would be extremely rare)

v0.0.10 - Minor control enhancements

• You can now pick a masking color from a cell (<alt> clicking) while in any mode, not just masking
• If you press <shift> in combination with your cycle-mode hotkey, it will cycle backwards instead of forwards

v0.0.7 - Misc. Fixes and Cleanup

NOTE: You may need to rebind your hotkey, once!

• (FIX) Filling a blank canvas should now constrain pretty close to the canvas's circular shape rather than the entire square canvas
• Many misc. UI cleanup changes

v0.0.6 - Fill feature

• (NEW FEAT) Color filling ("Paint bucket fill")

v0.0.5 - Masking UX Improvements and fixes

• (NEW FEAT) Masking color picker: While in masking mode, hold down <ALT> and click on a canvas cell to select the color of the sell as the new masking color!
• (FIX) You should no longer make accidental chalk marks unintentionally when using your inventory screen
• (CHANGE) Masking selections should no longer reset when changing chalks
