Only For Developers: TOI Setting Sample

Summary

This mod is a sample integration mod for developers who want to send runtime difficulty overrides to The Other Invaders (TOI).

What this sample does

• Gets TOI custom event id via remote interface
• Sends a runtime difficulty override event
• Demonstrates:
• planet blacklist
• invader supply multiplier
• invader weapon roll table override

Important notes

• This mod is for developers only
• Runtime overrides are not persisted across save/load
• Your mod must resend overrides after load
• TOI may skip its first scheduler cycle after init/load to wait for override events

Logging

If you want detailed logs, use Manis_Logger together with TOI.

TOI can output logs through Manis_Logger when it is present.
Without Manis_Logger, TOI falls back to standard log() output, but detailed operational inspection is easier with Manis_Logger.

TOI remote interface

Interface name:
theotherinvaders

Function:
get_difficulty_override_event_id()

Example flow

1. Get the event id from TOI remote interface
2. Build override payload
3. Send it with script.raise_event(event_id, payload)

Example payload

<<<CODEBLOCK START>>>
{
source_mod = "YourModName",
planet_blacklist = { "gleba" },
invader_level_supply = {
{ id = "toi_invader1", multiplier = 0.25 },
{ id = "toi_invader2", multiplier = 0.0 }
},
invader_level_weapon = {
{
id = "toi_invader1",
roll_table = {
{ variant = "gun", weight = 70 },
{ variant = "rocket", weight = 30 }
}
},
{
id = "toi_invader2",
roll_table = {}
}
}
}
<<<CODEBLOCK END>>>

Supported weapon variants

• gun
• flamethrower

Weapon roll table rules

• total weight must be 0 to 100
• total weight below 100 means remaining chance becomes no-spawn
• total weight 0 means always no-spawn
• total weight above 100 is invalid

Supply multiplier rules

• multiplier must be 0 or greater
• default is 1.0
