New Run Info for Vouchers

A revamped tab for viewing your vouchers during a run. It has pagination, supporting as many vouchers as you want and also informs how many times you redeemed each voucher.

New Decks

Voucher+ and Voucher++

When you redeem all vouchers, you will unlock the ability to redeem some vouchers a second time, and then a third time.

Vouchers that can be redeemed again:

• Crystal Ball and its upgrades
• Grabber and Nacho Tong
• Wasteful and Recyclomancy
• Blank and its upgrades
• Hieroglyph and Petroglyph
• Paint Brush and Palette
• Dash and Portal (RutherMod vouchers)
• Magnate and Plutocrat (RutherMod vouchers)

Make your own voucher repeat as well!

If you add ruther_voucher_plus = true to your custom vouchers when creating them, they will become repeatable as well.

Note: For this to work, the name of the voucher in config.requires has to be the exact same name of the original voucher (so consider turning off prefixes for these vouchers).

Example

SMODS.Voucher {
    key = 'v_YourModPrefix_mycoolvoucher',
    prefix_config = { key = { mod = false }},
    [...]
    requires = {},
    ruther_voucher_plus = true
}

SMODS.Voucher {
    key = 'v_YourModPrefix_myothercoolvoucher',
    prefix_config = { key = { mod = false }},
    [...]
    requires = { 'v_YourModPrefix_mycoolvoucher' },
    ruther_voucher_plus = true
}

Secret Interactions

Some of the new mechanics interact in unexpected ways. Branching vouchers for example force you to pick different upgrades when you repeat them. Try to find some of these interactions.

Interactions with other mods

As of now, I don't recommend using this mod with other mods (specially Cryptid and other non-vanilla mods). It might work fine, but the mod wasn't developed with that in mind.

Maybe in the future the mod can be adapted to work better with other mods.
