Toes.Socks

WebFishing development library

About

Socks is an evolving (work-in-progress) development library for GDWeave mods. Our motivation publishing this library is primarily to share these solutions and utilities we've written to address problems we've personally encountered while making mods, with the hopes you might be able to spend more time focused on fun than overcoming technical roadblocks.

The Players module is borrowed from BlueberryWolf's but with performance and developer-experience improvements at the cost of being backward-compatible. Nonetheless, you should find Socks.Players will suit your existing needs without many changes. In addition, our modules introduce convenient utilities to make mod building more straightforward. The Socks.Chat module was created to address the naturally opaque and cumbersome process of hooking into the game's chat methods.

Usage

Example

onready var Players = get_node_or_null("/root/ToesSocks/Players")
onready var Chat = get_node_or_null("/root/ToesSocks/Chat")

func _ready():
	Chat.connect("player_messaged", self, "_on_player_messaged")


func _on_player_messaged(message: String, player_name: String, is_self: bool):
	if is_self: return

	Chat.send("Hi, %s!" % player_name)
