 '''Disclaimer:''' Do not run code you can not understand or do not trust. Malicious code could be included in any script and extension.
+=Before You Begin=
+It's highly recommended before doing anything to
+# back up your save by exporting or downloading the save file.
+# read all instructions before following them.
+# verify the code is not malicious.
 =Steam Console and Scripts=
 How to use console commands, scripts, and extensions on Steam.
-Disclaimer: the following instructions worked on my linux and windows machines. I do not guarantee that this will work for you.
-Disclaimer 2: don't run scripts you don't trust, but if you do that's your problem :woman_shrugging:
-You should probably first
- - take a local backup of your save (you should do this whenever you try a new script tbh), and
- - read all the instructions in (A) and (B) (and maybe (C)) before you start following them.
-(A) Setup - You only have to do this once.
-(1) download Melvor Idle on Steam, and find the installation directory [...]/steamapps/common/Melvor Idle
-(2) download the appropriate NW.js SDK, the current version you want is 0.49.2 the version might change in the future
- - 64bit Windows: https://dl.nwjs.io/v0.49.2/nwjs-sdk-v0.49.2-win-x64.zip
- - 64bit Linux: https://dl.nwjs.io/v0.49.2/nwjs-sdk-v0.49.2-linux-x64.tar.gz
- - others: pick the appropriate version on https://dl.nwjs.io/
-(3) download the extensions you want to use
- - through the chrome extension store, or
- - download the source from the extension's repository, e.g.
- - - combat sim: https://github.com/visua0/Melvor-Idle-Combat-Simulator-Reloaded/releases
- - - SEMI: https://gitlab.com/aldousWatts/SEMI/-/archive/main/SEMI-main.zip
-(4) extract all these zipped files
- - place the contents of the nwjs-sdk* directory in the Melvor Idle installation directory
- - place the icons, styles and source (e.g. scripts or sources) directories of the extracted extensions in the Melvor Idle installation directory
- - - you might have to dig around a bit to locate these directories, for example for the Combat Simulator these directories are contained in another directory called Extension
-(5) download any user scripts you want to use and also place them in the Melvor Idle installation directory
-(6) open the game and load a character
-(7) open the dev tools console (F12)
-(8) set the context of the console
- - the top left of the console has a dropdown: change it from top to game (steam.melvoridle.com)
- - after doing this, you can use the console
-(9) load the scripts and extensions you placed in the installation directory before.
-You can load SEMI like this:
-require('fs').readFile('scripts/SEMI.js', 'utf8', (err, data) => {eval(data);})
-$(document.head).append(`<link rel="stylesheet" href="${chrome.runtime.getURL('styles/semi.css')}">`)
-You can load the Combat Simulator like this:
+==Setup==
-require('fs').readFile('sources/contentScript.js', 'utf8', (err, data) => {eval(data);})
+You only have to do this once.
-$(document.head).append(`<link rel="stylesheet" href="${chrome.runtime.getURL('styles/mainStyle.css')}">`)
+# Download Melvor Idle on Steam, and find the installation directory [...]/steamapps/common/Melvor Idle
+# Download the 0.49.2 version of NW.js SDK. The version might change in the future, but you need the specific one listed.
+#* 64bit Windows: https://dl.nwjs.io/v0.49.2/nwjs-sdk-v0.49.2-win-x64.zip
+#* 64bit Linux: https://dl.nwjs.io/v0.49.2/nwjs-sdk-v0.49.2-linux-x64.tar.gz
+#* Others: https://dl.nwjs.io/
+# Download the scripts and extensions you want to use.
+#* Download from the script manager website. e.g. GreasyFork
+#* Download from the extension's browser store page.
+#* Download the source from the extension's repository. e.g.
+#** Combat Sim: https://github.com/visua0/Melvor-Idle-Combat-Simulator-Reloaded/releases
+#** SEMI: https://gitlab.com/aldousWatts/SEMI/-/archive/main/SEMI-main.zip
+# Extract all zipped files.
+# Place the contents of the nwjs-sdk* directory in the Melvor Idle installation directory.
+# Place the icons, styles, and source (i.e. scripts or sources) directories of the extracted extensions in the Melvor Idle installation directory.
+# Open the game and load a character.
+# Open the dev tools console (F12).
+# Set the context of the console to game.
+#* The top left of the console has a dropdown: change it from top to game (steam.melvoridle.com). After doing this, you can use the console.
+# Load the scripts and extensions you placed in the installation directory before.
+#*You can load SEMI like this:
+ require('fs').readFile('scripts/SEMI.js', 'utf8', (err, data) => {eval(data);})
+ $(document.head).append(`<link rel="stylesheet" href="${chrome.runtime.getURL('styles/semi.css')}">`)
+::*You can load the Combat Simulator like this:
+ require('fs').readFile('sources/contentScript.js', 'utf8', (err, data) => {eval(data);})
+ $(document.head).append(`<link rel="stylesheet" href="${chrome.runtime.getURL('styles/mainStyle.css')}">`)
+::*You can load user scripts like this, by changing the file name:
+ require('fs').readFile('relativePathToMyReallyCoolScript.js', 'utf8', (err, data) => {eval(data);})
-You can load user scripts like this, by changing the file name:
+==Alternate Variation==
-require('fs').readFile('relativePathToMyReallyCoolScript.js', 'utf8', (err, data) => {eval(data);})
 (C) Cleaner variation - You don't have to do the following at all, it is a slight variant to the previous instructions, which takes some more fiddling but results in a cleaner directory without potential file name clashes. Note that the above does not clash for Combat Simulator + SEMI at the moment.
