Magiclysm Enchanted Bullets

This is a mod that adds a book for enchanted bullets. It programmatically looks through all bullets and makes enchanted variants of factory loaded non-variant bullets.

Not balance tested.

Inspired by https://github.com/YASUYASUYASUYASU/magiclysm_addon.

Installation

1. Download this file as a zip.
2. Unzip.
3. Copy Magiclysm-MagicBulletsMod into your Mods folder.
4. If you want to add it mid-game, then go to saves/{WORLD}/mods.json and add magiclysm_magic_bullets to the modlist.

If you don't care to tweak or modify the mod, you can delete everything outside of Magiclysm-MagicBulletsMod.

If you do care, then since CDDA looks for the modinfo.json, you can put this entire directory into your mods folder.

Features

All base bullets will have 10 ammo types:

Enchantment Type	Class	Description
fire	Kelvinist	Ignites and sets enemies on fire for a few turns. Massively decreased bullet damage.
ice	Kelvinist	Freezes them in place by stunning them. Moderately decreased bullet damage.
earth	Earthshaper	Fragmentation effect on hit. Moderately decreased bullet damage.
nature	Druid	Blinds if a headshot is landed, and slows them down. Mildly decreased bullet damage.
lightning	Stormshaper	Chain lightning on a bullet. Massively decreased bullet damage.
emp	Technomancer	EMP on bots. Massively decreased bullet damage.
light	Animist	Creates a flashbang effect on hit. Massively decreased bullet damage.
mana leech	Animist	Gain 3 mana on hit. Note: It takes 5 mana to make a bullet so this is not infinite. Slightly decreased bullet damage.
pierce	Magus	Laser on a bullet. Adds armor penetration once the code for armor penetration parsing is fixed. Decreased bullet damage.
black hole	Magus	Generates a black hole suction on a random enemy. Items and enemies are pulled towards it. Massively decreased bullet damage.
acid	Biomancer	Splashes acid on hitting.

Customization

Since the bullet definitions are programmatically generated, customization is easy. After making tweaks, just run

python generator.py

from this mod's directory.

Bullet Types

I have intentionally left out certain bullets (like grenades, paper cartridges), but anyone can add bullets into the src_data directory and rerun the script themselves.

Enchanted Variants of Variants

The script assumes a bullet is a non-variant if it is not copy-from something else. Modify the extract_bullet_data function to change the behavior and rerun the script.

Template Changes

All bullet templates are in templates/ammo and all recipes are in templates/recipes. The syntax for templating is <id> for the bullet's ID, <sentence> for a sentence from the bullet's description, and <name> for the human-readable name of the bullet.

Contributing

If this mod gets out of date and I don't update it, feel free to send a PR. Since there's no manual labor involved in changing the templates, it can fairly easily be brought up to date.

Note: Using "extend": {"effects": []} inside the JSON is better than overwriting, but it doesn't work in the latest experimental.
