Mod Files

Mod Files

Mods you create must have the following 2 files:

• mod_main.gd - The init file for your mod
• manifest.json - Meta data for your mod

Example mod_main.gd

See API Methods for more info.

extends Node

const MOD_DIR = "AuthorName-ModName/"
const LOG_NAME = "AuthorName-ModName"

var dir = ""
var ext_dir = ""
var trans_dir = ""

func _init(modLoader = ModLoader):
	modLoader.mod_log("Init", LOG_NAME)
	dir = modLoader.UNPACKED_DIR + MOD_DIR
	ext_dir = dir + "extensions/"
	trans_dir = dir + "translations/"

	# Add extensions
	modLoader.install_script_extension(ext_dir + "main.gd")

	# Add translations
	modLoader.add_translation_from_resource(trans_dir + "translations/bfx.en.translation")


func _ready():
	ModLoader.mod_log("Done", LOG_NAME)

Example manifest.json

{
	"name": "ModName",
	"namespace": "AuthorName",
