EmoTracker - customization-support

Oops. The code I gave above has the line "disabled_img_mods": "overlay|images/40.png", for the last stage. That should be "disabled_img_mods": "overlay|images/green40.png", so the number stays green.

yeah i fixed that already.

18:51

But what about Oh and does the text for capacity show up on your end when the deku nut/stick icon is active? because for me it doesnt for some reason

Yeah, it's working for me.

thats odd. Because looking at the code it makes sense and should display

oh

18:57

replacing nut.png with nut*.png on "img_mods" fixed it for me

18:58

Well, thats everything I wanted to add, cosmetics and functionality. Thanks a lot for all the help!

18:58

You're welcome

For those interested, this is the as far as I am concerned the final version. Should I make this public?

If you're interested, Emo could get you set up so your pack appears in EmoTracker's download manager.

That'd actually be pretty cool. I don't wanna @ him tho

20:55

before that I would want to fix 2 very minor things though. 1. I tried to make the kokiri tunic active by default, and then you can dim it with a click. But my code requires a double click 2. How do I make it show as Ocarina of Time as the game name? I set it to Ocarina of Time but it displays as "Other"

The other option, given how much it shares with existing packs, would be for one to offer it as a variant l

20:59

Which might keep things a bit saner

21:00

Up to y’all though

I don't really mind either option. Would be an honor either way

21:02

{ "name": "Kokiri Tunic", "type": "progressive", "codes": "greentunic", "disabled_img_mods": "", "loop": true, "stages": [ { "img": "images/greentunic.png", "codes": "greentunic" }, { "img": "images/greentunic.png", "img_mods": "@disabled", "codes": "greentunic" }, ] },

code btw

Does it work that way?

With 2 clicks, but yes.

21:05

However, double defense has the same issue but its inverse. aka it goes: 1. greyed out image, dimmed 2. greyed out image, active 3. actual double defense image

That's odd. I'd say get rid of the "disabled_img_mods": "", and replace it with "allow_disabled": false,. I think that should fix it.

oh yeah that fixes it, cheers!

For your second question, Emo has categories set within the program for certain games. The category for Ocarina of Time is actually Ocarina of Time Randomizer. I'm guessing you got rid of the Randomizer part since you're making a tracker for vanilla.

Ah that makes sense why it doesnt work

21:10

as for double defense, this works, but I don't want the icon to be undimmed until it is clicked. So i want to cut out the 2nd step of what I wrote above

{ "name": "Double Defense", "type": "progressive", "allow_disabled": "false", "codes": "defense", "stages": [ { "img": "images/defense_grey.png", "codes": "defense" }, { "img": "images/defense.png", "codes": "defense" }, ] },

So you want it grey and dim, then click once to show the full image?

yes

I see. Add "img_mods": "@disabled", to the first stage. That should dim it.

Perfect, that works. Now everything is done, so if you want we could discuss it being added and how with EmoSaru

Sure. Would you want it as a separate pack or as a variant in another pack?

Whatever you guys think is better. One upside of it being seperate is, because it is vanilla and cant really be added to rando, but it isn't extensive enough to add seperately

21:17

oh there is actually one more bug i realized. so far i only used "tracker.json" and ignored "broadcast.json" completely. copy pasting the code from one to the other doesn't work and its just broken at the moment

The broadcast json needs an extra line at the beginning that tells EmoTracker it's for the broadcast window.

21:20

You'll need to add an extra bracket to the end too.

2 extra brackets or one? Because I see it starting 2 there

I believe the broadcast layout has always started with a bracket in line 1. The "tracker_broadcast" field adds another. (edited)

hmmm. that still doesn't fix the issue for me. should i just dump the tracker.json?

21:27

or is it normal that it says "cannot run NDI" as i hit f2? because then it may be an issue only on my hand, though this works fine for other trackers with the same error (edited)

Hmm. I've never seen that one before.

So I have the choice to dump it here for someone to fix, which would be pretty scummy imo, or i could just remove the broadcast.json alltogether since it doesnt seem imporant

Oh, I know the issue. From Emo's changelog: To enable transparent capture via NDI®, you may need to create a broadcast layout override or edit your existing one, depending on which pack you’re using. The required change is as simple as removing the background property from whatever element (usually near the top) is adding it.

oh lets see

21:32

hmm for me that still won't fix it. very odd

If you want something simple that copies the tracker, you could try this.

{ "tracker_broadcast": { "type": "container", "content": { "type": "layout", "dropshadow": false, "key": "shared_item_grid" } } }

This usually isn't preferred since some people like to customize the broadcast window differently than their tracker window. (edited)

21:34

Oh wait. Forgot the extra field.

21:35

There

perfect, that works

21:36

except that i cant click anything on the item tracker. sick

21:36

oh its a one way road from one tracker to the other, makes sense

Yeah. Nothing in the broadcast window is clickable. It all has to be done from the main tracker view.

Alright. That should be everything now though. for real

Let me know if you'd like it added as a variant. Otherwise, Emo can get you set up as a pack author.

Well, it would need to be a variant that makes sense. there is no vanilla item tracker section for EmoTracker right?

Not currently since we mainly focus on randomizers.

Alright. Yeah I think a seperate one would make sense then

21:43

Well, now that everything is fixed: @EmoSaru What is your opinion?

21:44

And thanks again for the good help, I learned a lot during these few hours I did stuff on the tracker!

No problem. I have fun working on stuff like this.

sorry new to this overide thing how would i set up a simple minor rearange of where things are on the ALttP tracker?

i figured out how to have keysanity keys increment, until i have the maximum amount. is there a way to do the opposite? Like, tell me how many keys i still have left to find? Every click decreases the amount

you could start them at the max and use swap_actions so that left click decreases I think

rip emo

Hmm? Rip me?

17:35

Sorry for being non-responsive, it’s TwitchCon and I’m throwing a rather large dinner party tonight

yeah i tagged you about your opinion on whether or not the pack i made should be added seperately or as a variation

17:36

Oh I didnt know you're at twitch con, excuse me!

17:36

I hope its fun there

@Hamsda Can you give me some examples code on how to do that?

My personal opinion is that it’s better as a variant on one of the existing items only packs, whichever one it shares the most assets with.

17:37

That said, i don’t control that stuff, really, so I’ll leave it to the owner of whichever pack that would be. If they thInk it’s better as a separate pack, we can start down that road tomorrow.

Alright. I used the pack by atz and raikaru as a base, used the Song Icons from Hamsdas (i believe at least) and the rest i am not able to recall properly.

@Lechtansi

{ "name": "BotW Small Keys", "type": "consumable", "img": "images/oot_small_key.png", "codes": "botw_small_keys,botwsmall,botwsk", "max_quantity": 3, "initial_quantity": 3, "swap_actions": true },

I'm not entirely sure about swap actions, I think that's it though

cool ill check it out

that totally worked. Is there a way to have a different icon when its empty?

"disabled_img": "<your img here>", should work when they are at 0 I believe?

let me see

18:46

perfect!

18:47

had i known to do it this way it would have saved me a ton of time creating custom icons, but at least this way i'm overriding less things

Is there a way to bind keyboard keys to specific items in a tracker? For example, in ALTTP, if I pick up the hammer, I'd like to hit the 'A' key to toggle the hammer in the tracker.

Not currently, but it's something on Emo's to-do list.

Ok, thanks!

Hey @Hamsda, @Raikaru and atz which i couldnt find on discord, I recently made a custom item tracker for Max% categories for vanilla OoT. EmoSaru would add it, but suggested to add it as a variation for the item tracker which I shared the most assets with, which would be Raikaru and atz's. Firstly I want to ask if I have the okay from you guys to even publish it, and secondly I would want to ask atz and raikaru what they think about it being a variation of their item tracker.

Just woke up will look in a bit

we often share assets with each other, so I don't mind at all

Question: does the order in which locations are defined matter if one location refers to another in its access rules? Running into a weird problem working on a pack for the Wario Land 3 randomizer where some locations are "lagging", i.e. their status isn't updated until one "turn" later than they should be

18:22

Here's how things look when you start up the pack so far: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399717934567653376/506991731770654741/unknown.png If I collect the two keystones, I expect these three circled locations to be available. However, only the one circled in blue works right away: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399717934567653376/506992093705535489/unknown.png ...that is, until I do anything else to update the state of the map (clear a map square, get any item, or even unselect an item I already had). Then all three light up like they're supposed to: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399717934567653376/506992274782289941/unknown.png

18:24

the locations in question have access rules that refer to another location, which refers to another location, which refers to another location

Yes

19:25

References must always be defined already

19:25

I'm considering implementing an evaluation priority sort that would relax this constraint, but for now, you need the ordering to support it

Cool, makes sense. Just wanted to confirm that was the case before I reordered everything. Thanks!

It’s @AaronDobbe ! Hey dude!

hey Mike!

Wario Land 3 has a Randomizer? Neato.

it does as of a few weeks ago! I made it

Oh hey! Rad. :D

decided to make a map tracker because I've noticed people getting temporarily stuck a lot while thinking about where to go next

That sounds like a recipe for shenanigans

it can get pretty wacky

20:08

I was worried it'd be too straightforward at first but then I realized it can make you go backwards through the game given that the world map loops on itself

Let us know if you get stuck. Once you get the hang of how the .json files are structured, there’s a lot you can do. Have you been poking around the Official ones by EmoSaru?

yeah! I've been using Emo's alttp pack as a template so far, and have been looking at a few other packs for ideas too. And I customized my local copy of the alttp pack a whole bunch for personal use so I have a general idea of how it all works ^^

Sweet!

is there a way to remove the "pinned locations" section? or at least to make it MUCH smaller

Search in here, it’s been asked

i have searched. most of them are people asking to do this then someone saying "you can do it with overrides" then that person giving up
