Custom Abyss Runes

From Rivals of Aether Unofficial Workshop Manual

Custom Abyss runes can be added to your custom character via the config.ini file, as well as the function has_rune( letter )

Each rune, from A to O, can be set in the character’s config.ini file, using the two properties below, replacing the # with the letter of the rune you want to set.

Config.ini variables[edit | edit source]

Property Description
rune # type The rune’s type. Can be set to one of the following values:

"O" = Object modifier, for articles and other things the character creates.

"R" = Ranged modifier, for projectiles.

"H" = Hit modifier, for melee attacks.

"A" = Ability modifier, for miscellaneous abilities that aren’t necessarily attacks.

rune # desc A string containing the rune’s description, explaining what it actually does.


Keep in mind that the rune types are fairly arbitrary and don’t change anything gameplay-wise, so if a rune’s effects cover multiple types, just set it to what you think is the most relevant.

As for actually implementing them into your character, making runes affect their abilities, you’ll only need the has_rune( letter ) function. This can be used in any script in any way other functions can, returning 1 if the rune is equipped and 0 if it isn’t.

Examples[edit | edit source]

// config.ini
rune A type="H"
rune A desc="Makes FSTRONG stronger."

rune B type="R"
rune B desc="NSPECIAL's projectile moves way faster."

rune C type="A"
rune C desc="Increased coolness."
