A mod inspired by Minty Spire, mainly designed to provide Quality of Life (QoL) features for Slay the Spire 2 ( especially for multiplayer mode).
Because I used :Alchyr/BaseLib to resolve Linux compatibility issues, it seems this mod cannot function properly without BaseLib installed.
Change your color!
Affects: cursor color, map drawing color, player name color in the left info panel, and name color in chat messages.
(TODO) It seems a bit too eye-catching / hurts readability. Might need to find a way to modify the inner color without changing the outer stroke color.
Visually displays on the UI whether teammates have drawn "multiplayer-exclusive cards" or have cards that apply team-assisting buffs.
- Regular buffs will directly display as their corresponding buff icons. Currently, only Vulnerable, Frail, and Choke are supported.
- Multiplayer-exclusive cards will uniformly display as a "Handshake" icon.
- I plan to improve extensibility in the future. Currently, specialized icons cannot hide the general handshake icon. If you wanted to create a specialized icon for a specific card (like "Flank"), you would need to modify the handshake icon's logic, which is highly inconvenient.

Press the Tab key to expand or collapse the chat box. Dragging the title bar with your mouse is supported.
Use Alt + Left Click to send information about relics, cards, and buffs to the multiplayer chat, generating a hover
tooltip for teammates to view.

Alt + Right Click sends the "current HoverTip", which is perfect for sharing upcoming cards and relics forced upon you
during events, or buffs attached to cards in your hand.
- The right-click function is very accurate when reading cards, but the game's underlying storage for events and card text is slightly complex, so I took a lazy shortcut here.
- The current implementation is very brute-force—it directly reads the text inside the HoverTip. This approach makes it impossible to extract specific object data later, resulting in extremely poor extensibility, and it also breaks i18n.
- Additionally, this thing currently only reads 1 HoverTip at a time. I need to think about a better way to handle this.
In multiplayer mode, when you hover your mouse over a character's status on the left, a HoverTip will display the player's damage contribution, buff contribution, and "extra damage" contribution (i.e., increased damage from Vulnerable, Frail, etc. Tracing back to the exact buff source is a bit difficult, so I tracked this instead).
- Actually, tracing the source of a Buff isn't hard itself. The problem is that when identical Buffs stack, the game logic doesn't update the "buff source" attribute. This leads to subsequent players who stack the same Buff missing out on their contribution points, which is very unfair. So, I just gave up on that part.
- You can't expect me to build a whole separate History system just for this.
The HoverTip mechanism here is also open for extension. If you want to know how to add new hover stat information,
please check NPlayerState.ITooltipProvider.
Existing contribution stat code is located under the StatsTracker namespace, feel free to refer to it.
In the vanilla game, clicking the character status on the left directly pops up a full-screen panel showing their complete deck and relic list—which is actually of little direct help during a single combat.
Therefore, we changed the "click character status" function to bring up a small hover panel that directly displays your teammates' hand for the current turn and their available potions. (The original full-screen panel can now be opened via Double-Click or Right-Click).
In shop, hover panel will show the gold amount and the shop items.
This feature also supports extensions, please check lemonSpire2.NPlayerState.Panel to learn how to shove new
information into the panel.
By the way, items mentioned above inside this hover panel also support Alt + Click to send to chat.
- The UI is hideous right now.
The current chat box does not escape user input at all (What?!), so please keep your teammates in check and don't let them send unclosed tags that will turn the entire chat box styling into a total mess. (Well, this is now on the development plan and will be fixed soon.)
Later on, I really want to make a tag feature that displays the corresponding Tooltip by doing a reverse i18n lookup.
For example, typing [card:Flank] would directly display the hover tooltip for "Flank" in the chat. This way you can "
Discover" cards you don't even have in your hand yet, and tell your teammates to quickly find some for you.
- Plan to add console commands: for example, typing
/w textto send private messages,/pingto test latency,/helpto show help,/aboutto display about info,/disableto stop your itchy-handed friends from opening the console and typing random commands, etc. - Considering that adding more advanced commands (like
/gift [gold] [id]to send teammates money, or/cardsendto enable interactive card-giving) would directly impact the original Gameplay... - ...this doesn't quite fit the QoL theme of this mod. Therefore, I might make a separate mod dedicated to more multiplayer commands in the future.
- Hmm, seems like adding commands to the vanilla console isn't that hard either. Maybe I just won't do it.
