Overview

The skin_set_info.lua file defines coordinated skin set collections for emotes and themed item groups in Don't Starve Together. This file is automatically generated by the export_accountitems.lua script and provides curated combinations of skins that work together thematically, ensuring visual consistency when players use special emotes or equip themed item sets.

Usage Example

-- Access skin set information
local skin_set_info = require("skin_set_info")

-- Get all skin sets for a specific emote
local function get_emote_skin_sets(emote_name)
    return skin_set_info[emote_name] or {}
end

-- Check if character has a skin in specific set
local function character_in_skin_set(character, skin_set)
    for _, skin_item in ipairs(skin_set) do
        if string.find(skin_item, character) then
            return true
        end
    end
    return false
end

-- Example: Get all carol emote skin sets
local carol_sets = get_emote_skin_sets("emote_carol")
-- Returns arrays of coordinated ice/yule themed skins for each character

Data Structure

The file returns a table where each key represents an emote or themed collection, and each value is an array of skin set arrays:

{
    ["emote_name"] = {
        { "skin1", "skin2", "skin3" },  -- First coordinated set
        { "skin4", "skin5" },           -- Second coordinated set
        -- ... more sets
    },
    ["item_collection"] = {
        { "item_skin1", "matching_item2" }, -- Themed item collection
        -- ... more collections
    }
}
