How to add items/traits?

You need to type 'description commands' in your custom character's description, like so:

++PlasmaSword
&&Strength=228
**BananaLover2
%%WerewolfLunge
&&Speed=-2

After saving the character, a text will appear in the description, describing the changes that were made:

[ITEM 'PlasmaSword' ADDED]
[STAT 'Strength' SET TO '228']
[TRAIT 'BananaLover2' ADDED]
[ABILITY 'WerewolfLunge' ADDED]
[STAT 'Speed' SET TO '-2']

See the guide in Steam for more information.

'Description Commands'

• ++<Item ID> - adds an item with the specified ID to the custom character;
  Examples: ++Grenade, ++PlasmaSword, ++Hypnotizer2;
  See All Item IDs.txt;

  Now you can specify item counts! (v2.7+):
  ++RocketLauncher+Infinity, ++Grenade+45, ++BananaPeel+19.

• --<Item ID> - removes an item with the specified ID from the custom character;
  Examples: --Grenade, --PlasmaSword, --Hypnotizer2;

• **<Trait ID> - adds a trait with the specified ID to the custom character;
  Examples: **UpperCrusty, **BananaLover2, **ReloadWeaponsNewLevel;
  See All Trait IDs.txt;

• //<Trait ID> - removes a trait with the specified ID from the custom character;
  Examples: //UpperCrusty, //BananaLover2, //ReloadWeaponsNewLevel;

• &&Strength=<Value> or &&Str=<Value> - sets the custom character's Strength to the specified value;
  Examples: &&Strength=11, &&Strength=-6, &&Str=50;

• &&Endurance=<Value> or &&End=<Value> - sets the custom character's Endurance to the specified value;
  Examples: &&Endurance=488755541, &&Endurance=-2, &&End=16;

• &&Accuracy=<Value> or &&Acc=<Value> - sets the custom character's Firearms to the specified value;
  Examples: &&Accuracy=1337, &&Accuracy=-4, &&Acc=228;

• &&Speed=<Value> or &&Spd=<Value> - sets the custom character's Speed to the specified value;
  Examples: &&Speed=40, &&Speed=-6, &&Spd=69;

• %%<Ability ID> - sets the custom character's special ability;
  Examples: %%Charge, %%WerewolfLunge, %%MindControl;
  See All Ability IDs.txt;

• !!items - lists all item IDs that were added to the custom character;

• !!traits - lists all trait IDs that were added to the custom character;

• ::Skin|Hair|Legs|Body|Eyes - gets the custom character's skin/hair/legs/body/eyes color;

• ::Skin|Hair|Legs|Body|Eyes=<Color> - sets the custom character's skin/hair/legs/body/eyes color to the specified color;
  Examples: ::Skin=Purple, ::Eyes=RobotSkin, ::Hair=255|12|86|220, ::Body=23-62, ::Legs=255,0,255,127;
  See All Color IDs.txt;

Tired of these annoying messages? (v2.8+)

Here's how you can remove messages like "[Item 'Fud+50' added]":

Find a file called "ectd-nomessages.cfg" in BepInEx/config and write "true" in it. (if the file doesn't exist, start the game, the file will be created automatically, or create it yourself)

ectd's Issues

Size

this isnt really an issue but a request im new to github but this mod is great! can you add code or whatever that allows the player to change the size of the chracter through the description also?

Compatible but no longer working...

I installed both rougelibs 3.3.0 and ECTD 3.0.0 but even though it loaded the patch (mod) ECTD no longer Edits Character Through the Description and the characters I made from the previous version no longer work. :( (maybe its just that way for me could you show me the way you have the folders (MACOS) organized it worked before but idk honestly )
