Autosaving Journals+

Description
Description
Journals are automatically added once they are opened in the dungeon. While existing mods like https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1372094036 are great, they rely on overriding the loot file, which makes them incompatible with any other mod that does the same (i.e. a lot of mods). This mod avoids that problem by utilizing a file existing in DD's code to override the loot file, making directs edits of the loot file unnecessary.

What's different
- Journals are automatically added once they are opened in the dungeon. View them later at the Ancestor Statue.
- No need to fill up a precious inventory slot!

Compatibility
- Compatible with Color of Madness.
- Confirmed not to be working with perfectly in the Courtyard (firewood doesn't drop). I was unable to get a mod which works for both Crimson Court enabled and disabled. I'll make a new mod later for those who want to use this with Crimson Court.
- Not compatible with mods which modify the following files:
- - The loot overrides file: loot/common_overrides.loot.json

Other mods
- More Loot: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2599116153

shame that it doesnt work on countyard firewood

I don't mind if you advertise your own mod here at all. If you want to use other mods, choose my mod for auto-saving journals. Other mods conflict with loot/common_overrides.loot.json. If you don't care about other mods, use an existing mod (the original I saw https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1372094036)

I don't recall perfectly, but from what I saw, to make this CC compatible, I'd have to modify loot/common_overrides.loot.json, which would make the mod incompatible with many other mods.

So, for anyone reading, if you want to use other mods, use my mod, but firewood isn't going to drop in the courtyard. If you don't care about other mods, then use an existing mod for autosaving journals.

Hope this description helps for anyone who is deciding which mod to choose.

I made this for myself that's crimson court compatible: https://pastebin.com/GYFxzjm0

The problem is that the file this mod overwrites is also included in the crimson court dlc -- and that crimson court version includes entries for firewood (and also blood chances). I think you'll need to create a new mod that requires the crimson court dlc, since this would be the version for those that aren't using crimson court.

wou, i'll try to try the patched version and the original once the court opens up again
thankfully i've assembled a heart attack juggling team that works fine with no firewood

After playing with it on the last few days and taking some journeys into the Crimson Court, I can confirm the firewood via the wine crates problem. It's the only one I've encountered, though it is a strange one and I'm uncertain as to what might be causing it, given how little this mod changes anything.

When I have the time, I'll head back into the court and see if it's still happening after the change you made.

I made a small change, but I don't think it's related to the issue you're experiencing. You could try again if you want. If you're still experiencing an issue, it may be due to how this mod is interacting with other mods. The original auto-saving journals may be an option for you if you don't have any mods which conflict with it

Thanks for reporting the issue. This mod modifies very little. I've looked over the mod and I'm not seeing any obvious mistakes. Can anyone else confirm this issue? I'd like to make sure it's definitely caused by this mod.
