More Items Library

A library of functions to simplify working with mod items.

This mod does nothing on its own. It only serves as a modders' resource for adding temporary vanilla and custom items to a player's inventory. Eventually, it will also handle making these items display only to mod-using players in the trusted realm. This change would prevent custom item mods from impacting the experiences of unmodded players, a likely condition of sanctioned custom item mods.

Non-cosmetic mod items that provide an advantage will likely never be sanctioned, and sanctioning this library won't allow their use in the trusted realm.

INSTALLATION: Make sure that More Items Library is underneath VMF in your launcher's mod order, but higher than any mods that depend on it.

NOTE: This library is currently in development. Please expect instability.

Usage:

- If the item is completely new, and does not yet have an ItemMasterList entry:

1. Create a new table

2. Fill that table with the relevant regular fields of an ItemMasterList entry

3. Insert your new entry into an array

4. Pass that array to mod.add_mod_items_to_masterlist()

Your item now has an ItemMasterList and NetworkLookup entry. ANY COMPLETELY NEW ITEM WILL CURRENTLY CRASH LOBBY PLAYERS WHO DO NOT HAVE MATCHING ITEM LISTS.

- When an item has an ItemMasterList entry, it can be added to your inventory:

1. Use table.clone to copy the ItemMasterList entry

2. Add a mod_data table to your entry copy (entry.mod_data = {})

3. To this mod_data table, add any of the fields listed below in the backend_template for your item's slot_type. To look at your existing items for reference material, call the Vermintide Mod Framework's 'dtf' function on the return result of PlayFabMirror.get_all_inventory_items().

4. Insert your new entry into an array

5. Pass that array to mod.add_mod_items_to_local_backend() with your mod's name

For example:
Your item is now 'owned' for the game session, and will appear in item menus.

- When trying to remove items created by MoreItemsLibrary:

1. Create a numerical array of backend_ids for removal (e.g. local items = { "one", "two", "three" })

2. Pass that array to mod.remove_mod_items_from_local_backend() with your mod's name
