Additional context
Tried to add it to unlisted characters variable, but it in defaultUnlocked, I just don't know where to go.

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

Never mind. I found it.

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

Uh... I actually don't know what I was doing.

As mentioned in the other issue, you may be experiencing a bug that is caused by me not sending the fully up to date one #3 (comment)
I can try to send the new file, though give me a minute to remove the spoiler characters from it since it is currently being used in a mod right now directed by this guy https://www.youtube.com/@JorgeX_YT

Actual video to show it off I guess https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRgEF1tpspo

Try using these, this should hopefully fix it. Also, it's because when you first load the save data, it doesn't fix for new default characters, the new version should account for that, my bad.

[TorchTheDragon]

Also, the new menu does have some Psych Mod Support so you can instead put the new characters info into the mods folder, though it isn't 100% working fully yet. Eventually, I will have a thing with the character menu that will let you add new characters to it via mods and designate if they need to be unlocked or not.

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

Extra note: I have the mod as both mod folder and .exe (characters are in mod folder)

(unrelated but) do u have skype?

(unrelated but) do u have skype?

No sadly as I don't really like using Skype because of how buggy it can be. Never really had a good time with it.

Well, it has little support with mod characters at this moment, though that is planned to be changed later one. For now, it would work better if you implement them directly into the exe if you plan on using the char menu.

Oh, okay... well do you have email thingy (Google Chat)

I could use gmail, but discord is the only real thing I spend time looking at as I know everyone usually has it. Might I ask if there is any reason you don't? Not trying to be rude, just curious. Also, I forgot a file, hold on a minute, as this relies on an edited ClientPrefs.hx file

Simply put, I did some dumb shit.

So I am assuming you got banned lol, can't you make another account? Also, these files should fix that crash

thank. (PS, I didn't get banned, my discord account got hacked and idk what to do since I can't delete the account, and u know how discord is like "WHAT ABOUT UR SERVERS?!?!?!" and shit. Just stuff like that.)

Oh thats an easy fix, simply just change your password, if you are still logged in that is, and enable 2fa from now on.

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

i had 2fa enabled b4 then. also icons are.. .uh.....

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

i had 2fa enabled b4 then. also icons are.. .uh.....

Simple note: Icons are showing danger ones when selected

[TorchTheDragon]

I've gotten hacked twice now, no not through any qr codes or anything, just a site that happened to grab my discord token thanks to chrome's cache... not fun, though a password reset always changes your token, thus signing them out of it.

Oh, that is accidental code I left over in the custom FreeplayState from the other mod lol, I can try to find the lines to remove it if you want

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

ok

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

uh..... where is that code? (line numbers)

[TorchTheDragon]

Lines 558 and 562

Those two can be removed

[TorchTheDragon]

That code was intended for a modified health icon too, so it would actually show their winning faces, not their losing ones lol

If you want that (for any characters that have 3 icons, not 2) I can hand that over to you

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

ok, thank you (i find this kind if funny, the mod im working on was originally a joke mod, but now its starting to be similar to the actual vs retrospecter mod). I'd like that icon code please!

[TorchTheDragon]

Essentially, I just replaced this in the HealthIcon.hx file located in objects

(I will put code below this for copy paste reasons)

if (graphic.width == 300) { // This is just a test fix for the clippling for 2 part icons, aka icons with no win icon - Torch
	loadGraphic(graphic, true, Math.floor(graphic.width / 2), Math.floor(graphic.height));
	iconOffsets[0] = (width - 150) / 3;
	iconOffsets[1] = (height - 150) / 3;
	iconOffsets[2] = (height - 150) / 3;
	updateHitbox();
	animation.add(char, [0, 1, 0], 0, false, isPlayer);
} else {
	loadGraphic(graphic, true, Math.floor(graphic.width / 3), Math.floor(graphic.height));
	iconOffsets[0] = (width - 150) / 3;
	iconOffsets[1] = (height - 150) / 3;
	iconOffsets[2] = (height - 150) / 3;
	updateHitbox();
	animation.add(char, [0, 1, 2], 0, false, isPlayer);
}

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

thank

A guess would be that it's not letting you pick the characters as they are technically "locked" since it might be having an issue with them being mod characters and not built into the engine. (Basing this off what you said before)

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

ig a zoom call?

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

oh wait prob not.

Just to repeat what I said a while ago, mod characters aren't fully implemented yet, so I don't know what the menu will do with them.

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

i guess i gotta import the characters into actual exe.

[TorchTheDragon]

If that doesn't work then send me your edited Character menu file and I'll look at it after work

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

(when pressing up and down, it doesn't do anything.)

[TorchTheDragon]

2 things come to mind then,

1. If you're not worried about locked characters showing up, then make sure you also put the character you want visible in the defaultUnlocked string array
2. If you do want locked characters showing up, then go to your in graphic options and enable the check.

The option is just there to reduce a bit of lag in game when going to the menu with a lot of characters

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

like this?

[TorchTheDragon]

Yes

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

how do i make characters unlocked by default

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

(removed tank man)

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

also

[TorchTheDragon]

You put them in the defaultUnlocked variable

It should also unlock them for enemy characters

[TorchTheDragon]

Did that work out for you?

[TorchTheDragon]

also

This is more than likely just because you are trying to use a mod character or it's not in the unlisted characters variable

[TorchTheDragon]

I hate that I had to add a lot of things to edit lol

[TorchTheDragon]

how do i make characters unlocked by default

This should show the two locations you have to put the name in as well

[TorchTheDragon]

As you can see, I am using GF characters and a pico enemy

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

doot doot

[TorchTheDragon]

If that doesn't work then there is an issue with mod character, assuming you are still using them outside the exe

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

(characters are put in assets folder, along with json.)

[TorchTheDragon]

(characters are put in assets folder, along with json.)

Do you have the character images in there too? With their XML files? Just asking cuz the Images and XMLs have a different location than the json files

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

yes

[TorchTheDragon]

Well then I don't really know what's wrong here as it's working fine for me on my end, I guess just double check that you didn't mistype anything

[TorchTheDragon]

Oh, did you rebuild the exe after putting the characters in their correct slot or no? This also applies if you've changed any variables, though I feel as though that's obvious

[TorchTheDragon]

Better yet, is there a way I can get access to your build? I can try to help fix any issues when I get home.

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

i dont have github thing set up for it yet. lemme do that now

[TonyBallOhKnee-Games]

i have invited u as collaborator (files will be uploaded in a bit.)
