JuggerMod for Slay The Spire

Content/Gameplay

JuggerMod for Slay The Spire adds an entirely new character class, The Juggernaut, and a new set of 75 cards for him to use. The Juggernaut is a copper colored behemoth that uses brute force to shrug off blows while crushing enemies.

The Juggernaut focuses on Plated Armor, self-debuffs like -dex, draw reduction, and confusion, and a new mechanic called Overflow that gives unique effects when a card is in hand at the end of the turn.

The Juggernaut is an entirely new playable character. He does not overwrite The Ironclad or The Silent. This mod makes no changes to the base game other than adding The Juggernaut.

Heavy Body Effects are: (Attack) Gain 4 Strength for the turn. (Skill) Gain 6 Block. (Power) Gain 2 Plated Armor. (Other) Select a card in your hand to Exhaust.

Current State

Currently The Juggernaut is completely playable. We have art for all the cards but it is currently just color adjusted versions of base game assets until we can find an artists. We're still looking for an artist so if you want to do that make a Github Issue so we can talk to you about it. Also we are well aware that The Juggernaut is not fully balanced yet. We are doing our best to balance him in line with The Ironclad and The Silent.

Roadmap

1. Get proper character art and a model.
2. Fix/update textures and text.
3. Make necessary balance changes to The Juggernaut, fix any bugs discovered for the cards used by The Juggernaut and finish art for The Juggernaut
4. Add some new relics to use as unlocks for The Juggernaut and add some new relics specific to The Juggernaut

Requirements

General Use

• Java 8 (JRE). Currently only Java 8 should be used, issues with Java 9 are being looked into.
• BaseMod v.1.8.0+ (https://github.com/daviscook477/BaseMod/releases)
• ModTheSpire v2.3.0+ (https://github.com/kiooeht/ModTheSpire/releases)

Installation

1. If you have ModTheSpire already installed you can skip to step 5. Otherwise continue with step 2:
2. Download ModTheSpire.jar from the latest release (https://github.com/kiooeht/ModTheSpire/releases)
3. Move ModTheSpire.jar into your Slay The Spire directory. This directory is likely to be found under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SlayTheSpire. Place ModTheSpire.jar in that directory so it looks like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SlayTheSpire\ModTheSpire.jar
4. Create a mods folder in your Slay The Spire directory so it looks like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SlayTheSpire\mods
5. Download BaseMod.jar from the latest release (https://github.com/daviscook477/BaseMod/releases)
6. Move BaseMod.jar into the mods folder you created in step 4
7. Download FruityMod.jar from the latest release (https://github.com/gskleres/FruityMod-StS/releases)
8. Move FruityMod.jar into the mods folder you created in step 4
9. Your modded version of Slay The Spire can now be launched by double-clicking on ModTheSpire.jar
10. This will open a mod select menu where you need to make sure that both BaseMod and FruityMod are checked before clicking play

Notes For Contributors

Development

• Java 8
• Maven
• CFR 124 (run this with Java 8, doesn't work well with 9)
• BaseMod v.1.7.0+
• ModTheSpire v2.2.1+
• ModTheSpireLib (whatever version is associated with your version of ModTheSpire)

Building

1. Modify pom.xml to point to the location you've placed the dependencies
2. Copy desktop-1.0.jar from your Slay the Spire folder into ../_lib relative to the repo.
3. Decompile desktop-1.0.jar with java -jar "cfr_0_124.jar" --comments false --showversion false --caseinsensitivefs true --outputdir "decompiled" --jarfilter com.megacrit.cardcrawl.* "desktop-1.0.jar"
4. Run mvn package to make the jar JuggerMod.jar in the targets directory

Building in Eclipse

1. Right click on the project in eclipse then go to configure and convert to maven project
2. Then to build the project use Run as and select Maven build and specify package as the Goal for the build
3. If you get an error about lacking a compiler change the default jre for Eclipse to point to a jdk instead. The Eclipse Maven plugin is weird like that.

Some notes about adding custom cards

1. With cards, you need to set this.baseDamage and this.baseBlock when assigning damage values or block values to a card. This is because the game will compute this.damage and this.block from those values before doing any damage or block actions. HOWEVER when setting magic numbers on cards you must set this.baseMagicNumber AND this.magicNumber otherwise the first time the card is used its magic number will be wrong because the game does not compute this.magicNumber before it is used (it defaults to -1).
2. Try to keep the damage values, block values, etc... to static final constants at the top of the file so it's easier to make edits to the cards for balancing.
3. If you have an ethereal card it needs to override the triggerOnEndOfPlayerTurn hook and add in code that looks like this:

   public void triggerOnEndOfPlayerTurn() {
   AbstractDungeon.actionManager.addToTop(new ExhaustSpecificCardAction(this, AbstractDungeon.player.hand));
   }
