MonsterTrainGameData

Data dumps for Monster Train game data, so AssetStudio no longer needs to be used. This is to help with modding Monster Train. If you are new to modding Monster Train, here's a tutorial to get you started.

Motivation

Using AssetStudio is a pain for searching for GameData objects

Asset names do not align with the associated Card/Character/etc. in-game. This is especially true for Artifacts/Relics.
Looking up how a specific object works take time and effort. One would need to flip through multiple assets. For instance, CardUpgrades are their assets and must be looked up.
When viewing GameData, you see all of the fields, even if they are their default value, making it harder to decipher what fields are important.

How to use

This repo only contains JSON files, each representing a particular GameData object. The JSON files are minimized, meaning all unimportant fields are removed. Additionally, the data is expanded from what you would see in AssetStudio, allowing you to easily see how a specific GameData object works or how a particular field is used.

Note that not all fields present in the data are included. Things such as asset references, spine animations, images, sounds, character chatter data, etc. are omitted for readability. Only the core information that defines the objects and get them to work are included here.

Example JSON file

CardData/Rootseeds.json

{
  "name": "Rootseeds",
  "overrideDescription": "Apply +[effect0.upgrade.bonusdamage][attack].[halfbreak]Draw +[effect1.power] next turn.",
  "effects": [
    {
      "paramCardUpgradeData": {
        "bonusDamage": 2
      },
      "effectStateName": "CardEffectAddTempCardUpgradeToUnits",
      "targetMode": "TargetMode.DropTargetCharacter",
      "targetTeamType": "Team.Type.Heroes | Team.Type.Monsters"
    },
    {
      "effectStateName": "CardEffectDrawAdditionalNextTurn",
      "targetMode": "TargetMode.Room",
      "targetTeamType": "Team.Type.Heroes | Team.Type.Monsters",
      "shouldTest": false,
      "paramInt": 1
    }
  ],
  "cardLoreTooltips": [
    "In one of these dreams, that I'm beginning to believe are visions of the past, Wyldenten showed me the creation of the Wildwood itself: seeds taken from Wyldenten's own body. His final gift before his Exile."
  ],
  "cost": 1,
  "cardType": "CardType.Spell",
  "targetless": false,
  "rarity": "CollectableRarity.Common",
  "linkedClass": "ClassAwoken",
  "initialKeyboardTarget": "CardInitialKeyboardTarget.FrontFriendly"
}

Converting to a Custom Modded Card

From the JSON and TrainworksModdingTools, it should be fairly intuitive to go from this JSON representation to the appropriate Builder object. The only pieces one needs to provide are the respective IDs for the Builders.

new CardDataBuilder
{
  CardID = "MyRootSeeds",
  Name = "My RootSeeds",
  Description = "Apply +[effect0.upgrade.bonusdamage][attack].[halfbreak]Draw +[effect1.power] next turn.",
  Targetless = false,
  EffectBuilders =
  {
    new CardEffectDataBuilder
    {
      EffectStateType = typeof(CardEffectAddTempCardUpgradeToUnits), // Switch from Name to Type
      TargetMode = TargetMode.DropTargetCharacter,
      TargetTeamType = Team.Type.Heroes | Team.Type.Monsters,
      ParamCardUpgradeDataBuilder = new CardUpgradeDataBuilder
      {
        UpgradeID = "MyRootSeedsUpgrade",
        BonusDamage = 2,
      }
    },
    new CardEffectDataBuilder
    {
      EffectStateType = typeof(CardEffectDrawAdditionalNextTurn),
      TargetTeamType = Team.Type.Heroes | Team.Type.Monsters,
      ShouldTest = false,
      ParamInt = 1,
    }
  }
  // etc
}
