Bingo!

Description
Play BINGO in Don't Starve!

Bingo is a game that has 25 tiles in a 5x5 grid. To win, you must complete 5 consecutive tiles horizontally, vertically, or diagonally; in Don't Starve, that means collecting, crafting, or building whatever's in the tile.

Features:
  • randomized BINGO board
  • tracking of tile completion and wins (with a little animation upon winning)
  • client-only mod -- works on any server
  • customizable difficulty
  • settings to include/exclude items from mods, caves, ruins, etc
  • saves your current board and progress when the world is saved or when you log out
  • ability to see the bingo seed and input custom seeds to get identical boards
  • ability to create a custom list for the board (advanced)
  • controller support
  • special compatibility with Minimap HUD and Combined Status

DST Controls:
  • Click the arrow that pops up when hovering over the board to open/close the board.
  • Click the bolt that pops up when hovering over the board to open/close the menu.
  • The default keyboard toggle to open/close the board is "V".
  • Misc Menu 3 to open/close the board for controllers. Controller bindings can be found in the game's control menu.
  • Misc Menu 4 to open/close the menu for controllers. Controller bindings can be found in the game's control menu.
  • The default keyboard toggle for controllers to open/close the menu is "N".

Click the words at the top of the settings menu (like "medium" or "all") to change the difficulty. The highlighted column indicates the currently selected difficulty, and only the checkboxes under the highlighted column are relevant to what you'll get on the board when you press reset. You don't need to uncheck every single checkbox on the board besides those options that you don't want under the currently selected column.

Watch the video I posted above (or below in the links section) for more indepth info. I skimmed over a lot of stuff for the sake of space. Especially if you're interested in creating custom lists because that feature isn't obvious or readily apparent.

If you like this mod, consider giving a thumbs up! It helps a lot.

Credits:
  • Geniebabe - She helped test the mod to make sure there's no game-breaking bugs that I missed. Thanks, Genie!
  • Rezecib - I asked a question in the forums about differentiating between modded and default items so that I could add the option of including modded items, and I used Rez's solution. Thanks again Rez!
  • CarlZalph and DarkXero - I was having difficulty getting DST clients to save their data on any random server, and both of these guys helped me resolve that issue on the forums. Most people play as clients in DST, so it would have sucked if the majority of people couldn't save their boards or progress. Huge thanks to these guys!
  • The developers of TooManyItems - I studied their TooManyItems mod and used their method of resolving modded item icon paths, their method of positioning item slots, and other bits and bobs.
  • The awesome developers over at Klei! - If I'm giving credit, it'd be silly not to thank these fine folks. Without them, this would just be some incredibly lame internet bingo game based on ... numbers! Sure, numbers are pretty cool, but not quite as fun as a frog-rain bonanza! :-)

FAQ:
Q:
What does "Stay at TR" mean in the config options?
A:
Bingo's default board location is top right, but since minimap HUD is such a popular mod, and its default location is exactly the same as mine, I made a check to see if minimap HUD is enabled, and if so then I force Bingo's location to be compatible with minimap's default even if the config is set to top right; I'm betting ~90% of people never go into the mod configs, and when they see that the bingo board is covering their minimap, they'll be upset and disable it. "Stay at TR" is for people who actually pay attention to configs, and it overrides my forced compatibility (you can go into minimap's config and change its location).

Q:
How do I select things in the settings menu with a controller?
A:
When you open the menu, I restore mouse functionality back to you, so you can make your selections with the mouse, then when you're satisfied, close the menu and controller functionality is toggled back on. If you're unsure about what an item is, you can hover over it with the mouse at this point to see. You can open and close the bingo board at your leisure with the controller, but when you want to reset the board you just have to use the mouse. That's not too bad, right?

Q:
I entered in the same seed as my friend, but we got different boards.
A:
You must also have the same difficulty selected and checkboxes checked in order to get the same board. Don't forget to click the custom seed checkbox on -- if not, then you'll just get a random board, and it'll almost certainly be different then.

Q:
Custom seed doesn't work at all.
A:
Don't forget to click the custom seed checkbox on.

Q:
It doesn't work. I got an error message.
A:
I'm gonna need more info than that in order to do anything. Post your log, error message, and relevant details in the bug reports thread below.

can create a server mod that prizes when someone complete a bingo board? or at the start of every season, sends a board to everyone, and who completes, receive a prize? (maybe in some structure, etc)

Hi modder, I do not know how to access the videos explaining how to customize the bingo mod. Furthermore, I don't know how to load different bingo seeds.

@Sprun

If you can navigate to the mod's directory, open up the custom_itemList.lua file and there are instructions in there.

I'm not sure the path on your machine, but it will be something like this for windows:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Don't Starve Together\mods\workshop-719424707\scripts

Works great, except I unfortunately can't get the video explaining custom boards to play, and so I'm unfortunately stuck with random, which is a shame.

+server side mod. that would be really awesome :D

Thank you for the answer. Just tried again, same problem but now the settings seem to be fixed, the difficulty remains the same. Well, if you ever find some time to create a server version of the mod, I would be sooo hyped to play it! I'm playing a lot of Picky Eater aswell and I love it, you did an amazing job on both mods, for real. Is it possible to release a video playing the mod by the way? It would be dope.

@Don Giani
Unfortunately since this is a client mod I can't sync info between the overworld and caves, so you will always get different boards for overworld and caves. I'd need to create a server version to fix that. But there was a problem with the save system for the overworld. I just applied a quick fix and it should be good now.

Hey guys, I have a little problem with the Bingo mod (thanks JoeShmo if you ever read this!)...
Everytime I go in caves, the list resets and the difficulty is set to medium, by default. If I'm going up on surface back again, it will change the list, over and over... Do you have the same problem or is it just me?
