Modular: Text Guide

What is Modular?

Modular is a plugin that allows for modular creation of skill and passive scripts through JSON modding only.

What does that mean?

Essentially, before modular was developed, it was either make a DLL for custom passives and skill scripts, or just... not have them. Not anymore! With the invention of Modular, it is now entirely possible to do these things, and more.

How do I get modular?

In order to install Modular, you may visit the link provided. There, you should see the latest current release. After installing the latest DLL, all you need to do is to drag it to the following file location in: [game folder]\BepInEx\plugins, then close and re-launch Limbus Company.

How do I get started with using Modular?

Modular has a wonderful documentation site that will teach you a few of the basics, alongside an examples section to help you with basic scripts. If you need additional help, reminder, please do go ask in the Discord thread above.

How do I make a custom passive with Modular?

There is a very useful passive example for you to use!

Here is a template passive you can use. This goes in your "passive" folder in custom_limbus_data. Check Custom Passives to see how to add the passive to a character.

{
  "list": [
    {
      "id": customidhere,
      "attributeStockCondition": ["change Stock to Resonance for res condition"],
      "requireIDList": [
          "Each/Modular/script/goes/in/one/string",
          "Multiple/Modular/scripts/can/be/put/in/one/passive/like/so"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Modular does not currently support the creation of support passives, and it is recommended to create your own DLL mod to add support passives.

How do I add Modular to my Skills?

The following information is right under the "github" section of the following message

Here is a template skill you can use. Within "abilityScriptList" you can enter in a "scriptName" and enter your modular script into the string attached like shown.

Timings such as RoundStart, WhenUse, DuelClash must be used here. (generally, anything that doesn't occur directly as a result of a coin)
Within "coinList" there is another "abilityScriptList". Timings such as OnSucceedAttack and OnSucceedEvade must be used here. (generally, everything that does happen as a result of a coin)

Frequently asked questions

Why won't my skill cycle properly?

Your DLL may be outdated, OR your defense skill ID is too large. Be sure to frequently check the thread for updates.

Where do I get help for if it doesn't work?

You may check the thread and attempt to ask for help. Since the thread isn't as popular as Modular, it may take a bit of time. Please be patient.
