This mod adds an in-game checklist that you can toggle with a hotkey. This checklist will be in suggested order according to the modders of the other mods enabled. When you defeat a boss, the checklist will update accordingly. I created this mod because I found that while playing modded Terraria, I had no idea which boss to tackle next without consulting the forum threads of each mod constantly.

Unfortunately, I can't support all mods yet because most of the mods that I want to support have not structured their code correctly. (See below and next post)

See it in action:

How to add support for your mod
​

Adding support is easy, you just need to add some code to your Mod class that invokes Mod.Call on the bossChecklist mod. Make sure to follow the message format perfectly.

Current Messages Accepted:

Code:

"AddBoss", string bossname, float bossValue, Func<bool> bossDowned
"AddBossWithInfo", string bossname, float bossValue, Func<bool> bossDowned, string bossInfo, [Func<bool> bossAvailable]
"AddMiniBossWithInfo", string minibossname, float minibossValue, Func<bool> minibossDowned, string minibossInfo, [Func<bool> minibossAvailable]
"AddEventWithInfo", string eventname, float eventValue, Func<bool> eventCompleted, string eventInfo, [Func<bool>eventAvailable]

Code:

        public override void PostSetupContent()
        {
            Mod bossChecklist = ModLoader.GetMod("BossChecklist");
            if(bossChecklist != null)
            {
                // AddBoss, bossname, order or value in terms of vanilla bosses, inline method for retrieving downed value.
                bossChecklist.Call("AddBoss", "Tacoman", 5.5f, (Func<bool>)(() => ExampleWorld.downedAbomination));
                //bossChecklist.Call(....
                // To include a description:
                bossChecklist.Call("AddBossWithInfo", "Tacoman", 5.5f, (Func<bool>)(() => ExampleWorld.downedAbomination), "Use a [i:" + ItemType("StrongFlareGun") + "] at night in the Example Biome");
            }
        }

Boss Available
As of 0.2, you can now hide a boss until conditions are met. It is the 6th parameter and is optional. Don't hide bosses just because of intended progression, as players sometimes skip bosses. Try to use the boss available only when the boss truly isn't available yet.

Reference for bossValue (set your value in relation to vanilla bosses):

Code:

SlimeKing = 1f;
EyeOfCthulhu = 2f;
EaterOfWorlds = 3f;
QueenBee = 4f;
Skeletron = 5f;
WallOfFlesh = 6f;
TheTwins = 7f;
TheDestroyer = 8f;
SkeletronPrime = 9f;
Plantera = 10f;
Golem = 11f;
DukeFishron = 12f;
LunaticCultist = 13f;
Moonlord = 14f;

 

YES. i need this like i need pizza. i want it, but i can't have it yet.

 

looking good. This must mean I can do the same with my mod hooray

Edit: I'm pretty sure pumpkings mod has bools ready

 

I just checked, they are programmed incorrectly. If you defeat one boss, it'll set the bool for the other bosses.

 

Ok, Initial Release time.

Looks good! Before the release of my mod, I'll do all the stuff you said then *HOPE* it gets added. Btw, what do you mean by *the pull*? Just curious!

 

This looks awesome! I'll have to have to work on adding support with my mod next I can.

 

With Github, if you don't have permission to commit changes directly into the master branch of a project, you "fork" the project, meaning you have your own branch of the project. After you make changes, you click "New Pull Request" and your changes will be presented to the users of the master branch so they can decide whether or not to "pull" or merge your changes into the master branch. Basically it lets you submit changes to an open source project that will be verified by one of the main developers of a project.

Great, I hope my instructions prove good enough for someone to figure out what I mean, but don't hesitate to ask.

 

Hyped for this, once all mods get supported

 

Updated for CalamityMod support --> 0.1.1

 

I get an error when I try to build the Boss Checklist with the changes I added...

If you push your changes to your fork I can check it out and see if I see anything.

 

Well, I should have mentioned that I did when I did. https://github.com/Joost8910/BossChecklist/commit/832f5ab6ea051484efb7f08c68284f7a0267fcf7
Did I do that right? I'm new to GitHub.

 

K, I'll check it out later, I didn't notice that you made a branch.

 

Why is Ragnarok not included? Did it not have its own downedX bool?

 

I wasn't sure, as I don't know the mod too well. I see downedPatchwerk which I think is a miniboss, downedRealityBreaker which I don't know about, and downedSkelly, which I also don't know. If one of those 2 is actually Ragnarok, I can add it, and minibosses I'll add once I plan some things out. If it's not, there might not be a bool yet.

 

RealityBreaker may be the Expert exclusive form of Ragnarok, I assume.

 

Ok, not sure what your error was, but I brought over all your changes and it works.

Updated to 0.1.1.1

• JoostMod support.
