ProtecTechTools [Depreciated]

Description
[Depreciated]
Unfortunately this mod will not be updated anymore (unless someone wants to take over).
If you want to modify FtD's code, you can use Harmony, which is still updated:
https://github.com/pardeike/Harmony


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ProtecTechTools is a mod that provides several tools to be used for modders.

It provides:
- Main configuration GUI with panels management
- Debug GUI GUI with panels management
- Information GUI with panels management
- Key management
- Profile data management
- Having sharks in addition/replacement of the seagulls
- Being able to fire and kill seagulls and sharks
- Being able to change the battle size limitation
- Being able to have infinite lives for vehicle spawners
- Being able to save several custom fleet colors in addition to the faction ones
- One main configuration panel is already implemented and can configure:
. Seagulls management
. Despawning management
. Displaying the build checklist
. etc.
- Lua functions adding by other mods
- Tools to avoid mods conflict in some cases
- Sign Post and Poster Holder now remember their data when prefabed, can be named, and can be controlled via LUA


User manual:
- Main configuration GUI: Press the 'F1' key while in the main menu or click on the 'Mods configuration' button
- Debug GUI: Press the 'Page down' or '.' (period) key while in the game
- Information GUI: Press the 'Page up' or ',' (comma) key while in the game

More details (including a manual) here:
http://www.fromthedepthsgame.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=26433


Works with FtD v2.3.0.8



Installation instructions:
- Disable Steam cloud synchronization for FtD
- Delete the "\My Documents\From The Depths\Mods\ProtecTechTools\" directory
- Launch FtD
- From the main menu, click on 'Workshop / Editor / Mods' (to the right)
- Click on 'Modding Workshop'
- Click on 'Install Subscription' (to the left)
- Select the ProtecTechTools mod (its background will become black)
- Click on 'Save mod in folder...' (to the bottom-right)
- Quit FtD and restart it

If the mod is indicated as 'obsolete' or 'too old', you may try to change the 'plugin.json' file (with any text editor) in order to update the 'FtD_version' field to the current FtD version.
Note that this mod has a few chances to be broken by a new FtD version, so if you force the 'FtD_version' field, it may not work.

Probably not because the code is closely tied with FtD's code.
But there's no harm in trying, at worse there will be some error messages and it won't work, it cannot break anything.

'ey Gladyon, Does it work on 2.3.1.15? cuz it's the closest available version to 2.3.0.8

They would require some modification.
The ones using the 'class override' or 'additional UIs' would require extensive modification as these features are FtD-specific.
Most mods are only using the 'methods override' part of PTT, so only light modification would be necessary for them.

would mods that require this mod to work, still work if i had harmony instead?
Gladyon  [author] Feb 1, 2021 @ 6:48am 
It's certainly possible to create a mod for that, by using Harmony and by looking in the source code of my mod how to do it (it probably hasn't changed that much in FtD source code).

But that would require some programming skills.
I do not create mods anymore, but you can issue a request for a new feature in FtD:
https://brilliantskies.customercase.com/forums/request-tracker

Obviously, no guarantee it will be done, but I can guarantee that someone in the team will read the request and decide if we implement it or not.

Hi Sir, what about the "Being able to have infinite lives for vehicle spawners" part, is there a way to make even this feature only? Or maybe an alternate not-so-complicated way?
Thanks in advance :)

Unfortunately not.
I hoped I could, but there's not enough time
And the game's codebase has changed so much that most of the mod would have to be re-written.

If you want to replace FtD's code in your mod, you can use Harmony, it works essentially the same but it's still supported.
https://github.com/pardeike/Harmony

Also, some ProtecTech features have been integrated in FtD (even if they're not exactly the same).

Is this ever getting updated?
Showdown Samurai Sam Nov 27, 2018 @ 10:14am 
aaaaahhhh I see now, actually I had no Idea that that was a mod XD, but nice work anyway!
Gladyon  [author] Nov 27, 2018 @ 9:09am 
Yes, for a bit more than a year now.
Which explains why the SpinBlocksMadness mod has been integrated in FtD a year ago ;)
