DEPRECATED

This program has been superseded by its rewrite in Rust for ease of installation and use.

Besides, Node doesn't have good TypeScript support, the code is a mess, and I really want to learn Rust.

Map.json Generator

This repo contains code to generate map.json for displaying the mode map in Techmino Hub.

Dependencies

1. lua
2. ts-node, installed using npm i -g ts-node
3. node type definitions, installed using npm i --save-dev @types/node
4. node fetch type definitions, installed using npm i --save-dev @types/node-fetch
5. node fetch module, installed using npm i node-fetch

Running

After installing dependencies, run main.ts by doing ts-node main.ts

About Extra Modes

The /data/extra_modes.json file exists because some of the modes in-game are not actually in the mode map.
Reasons can include:

• It's a hidden mode (no I'm not spoiling how to access it; go find out yourself 😉)
• It's a mode which no longer exists in the latest version of the game
• It's an old version of some modes with different/unique mechanics

Note that the Y coordinate aren't the same as the Y coordinates on the normal map; they are shifted down 200 units under the bottommost "non-extra" mode.

Output Format

The output will be generated in ./modes.json by default. The output will be a minified JSON containing an object.
Here's a non-minified JSON for reference:

{
    "modes": {
        "sprint_10l": {
            "name": "sprint_10l",
            "shape": 1,
            "unlock": ["sprint_20l"],
            "size": 40,
            "x": 0,
            "y": 0,
            "icon": "sprint1"
        },
        "sprint_20l": {
            "name": "sprint_20l",
            "shape": 1,
            "unlock": [],
            "size": 50,
            "x": -200,
            "y": 200,
            "icon": "sprint1"
        }
    },
    "starting_mode": "sprint_10l",
    "min_x": -200,
    "max_x": 0,
    "min_y": 0,
    "max_y": 200
}
