Chromium-Configurator

Description
Configurator
Allows you to modify most of the vanilla aspects of Brotato without needing much knowledge about programming.

What's possible?
I'm only scratching the surface of this mods potential with a few ideas here

  • You could change the shotgun into a shotgun that shoots 1,000 projectiles each with an explosive effect going at the speed light while bouncing 10,000 times

  • You could change a character into a character that has every characters effect in the game all at once

  • You could change the rarity of an item and it's value to turn a common item into a legendary with unique effects

Config
Location: %appdata%/Brotato/mod_config/configurator/

If the file doesn't exist make sure you've at least launched the game once with this mod installed. If it still doesn't exist resubscribe and then launch the game (You may have been on an older version if that's the case).

Within the directory you will find a few config files for different parts of the game. Unfortunately beyond this point it's going to require you to do some tinkering to figure out how all the values work and interact with the game.

Basic Guide
Video Guide

The file structure of the configurator must be maintained. Don't attempt to place a character into the weapons directory for instance. This will cause catastrophic failure probably.

The vanilla directory does not interact with the game in anyway. It gets written when you launch the mod for the first time to give you some references for your own creations. If you want to learn how certain effects are made and have a reference item or character that has that effect this is what the vanilla directory can help you with (You could even copy over the .JSON and rename it, but more information on that is coming up).

The modified directory interacts with the game to override the base game. Any .JSON files here that have the same ID's as vanilla references will replace them when the game is loaded. This means you can change things like rarities/values/effects of vanilla items here.

The additions directory interacts with the game to create new items/characters/weapons/upgrades. Any .JSON files here will create a new instance of your item in the game.

The upgrades/weapons have sub directories. If you decide to make an addition you'll need to put your .JSON files in a sub directory as well for those types (The name doesn't matter).

Important .JSON values
  • Icon : This is a reference to a .png file in the same directory as the .JSON, for instance if you had a picture you wanted to use you would write, "your_pictures_name.png" here. The picture must be in the same directory as the .JSON file that is referencing it
  • Translate : This is what your item's name in game will appear as

Using With Other Mods
It is now possible to use with other mods, however the amount of things you can configure in each mod may vary. For instance, if the mod references an effect it adds to the game.

ContentLoader and this mod boot up from the same extension. My mod may load before many mods get a chance to load there content.

Encountering Bugs?
Visit the workshop from Steam itself, unsubscribe to this mod (and maybe others), then re-subscribe to it. This fixes an issue where Steam doesn't automatically update mods.

Still Not Resolved?
Leave a comment about the issue and it will be fixed at some point.

Sadly it seems like it doesn't work with the latest version of the game.

Hello, I created a character for the additions folder and successfully loaded the icon in character select, but when the game itself started I just had a blank potato on legs. Is there a way to edit these graphics as well?
