Your own Atelier Store

This guide will detail how to add an Atelier store with your items. It is part of the Adding new items ArchiveXL tutorial, but you can complete these steps independently.

Wait, this is not what I want!

• Find a guide on Your own inventory preview icons

• Learn more about Game icons: The inkatlas file

• If you are using ItemAdditions: Dynamic Appearances, you can use W's generator to quickly create spawn codes and Atelier entries

Requirements

Generating an icon

First of all, download the template archive (kindly provided by Apart) and find the folder virtual_atelier_inkatlas_icon_template with the following files:

atelier_icon_template.inkatlas                        << map for the game  
atelier_icon_template.png                             << 200x200px image for a final slot  
atelier_icon_template.xbm                             << game texture  
virtual_atelier_png_to_xbm_import_settings.png        << image, also embedded here  

Put the .inkatlas and .xbm into your project (if you're using the example project, you can put them into the ops folder). Then, rename them to atelier_icon:

tutorial
  torso
    my_custom_shirt
      ops		   
      	- my_shirt_factory.csv  
      	- translation_strings.json  
      	- preview_icons.inkatlas       
      	- preview_icons.xbm            
      	- atelier_icon.inkatlas        <<<  
      	- atelier_icon.xbm             <<<  

Now, create your icon. The process is the same as for "preview images". The resulting slot will be named slot_01.

Creating the atelier file

@addMethod(gameuiInGameMenuGameController)
protected cb func RegisterYOURNAMESStore(event: ref<VirtualShopRegistration>) -> Bool {
  event.AddStore(
    n"YOURNAME",
    "Your Store Name",
    [            
      "Items.my_custom_shirt_redwhite",  	
      "Items.my_custom_shirt_redblack"
	],
	[ 1	],
    r"tutorial/torso/my_custom_shirt/ops/atelier_icon.inkatlas",
    n"slot_01",
	[ "Legendary" ]
  );
}

1. Visit this website and fill out the information:

1. Now, add your item.

Here's an explanation for the fields below. Rather than filling them by hand, you should use this website to generate your store files.

​ Ignore "Icon path" and "description", we have these in the item itself.

1. Click "Add Item". Repeat the process with as many items as you want.

2. Click "Generate".

Placing the atelier file

In your project's resources folder, create a subdirectory r6/scripts (if it doesn't exist already), and move the atelier file that you downloaded into there:

resources
  - tutorial_my_custom_tshirt.archive.xl  
  - r6
    - tweaks
      - tutorial_my_custom_tshirt.yaml         
    - scripts
      - MyTutorialAtelierStore-atelier-store.reds         << new file

Now, it's time to test! Install the mod and start Cyberpunk.

Troubleshooting

My atelier store causes scripting errors!

I'm not sure how you managed to read past all the red and yellow boxes on this page, but make sure that the path under atlasResource has forward slashes / instead of backwards slashes \.

If that wasn't it, you might have to re-generate your Atelier store.

My atelier store makes the game crash!

That happens when there are two atelier stores with the same store ID. Do a full-text search for the store ID (MyTutorialAtelierStore) in r6\scripts and make sure that you don't have any duplicates.
