MOD Development Tutorial

MOD Introduction: MOD is divided into "configuration file" and "modification file" directories. The configuration file mainly displays information such as the MOD name and author and the MOD modification file directory.

MOD placement directory:

PC: {GameDir}\Mesozoic Dawn_Data\StreamingAssets\Mods\
Android: {SdcardDir}\Android\data\com.nextindie.mesozoicdawn\files\Mods\

MOD file path directory description: Please place the file strictly according to the following directory, otherwise a read error will occur.

MOD Directory Structure

/Mods/ -- MOD root directory
/Mods/DemoMod/ -- MOD directory
/Mods/DemoMod/CharacterAsset/ -- Character data configuration file directory
/Mods/DemoMod/SkinsAsset/ -- Character skin graphic texture directory

MOD configuration file: The configuration file suffix is ​​".mod", and the configuration parameters are as follows

MOD Configuration File Information

ModConfig = {
             Name = "Demo", --MOD name, used for system representation and display to players (*Note: Please keep this name consistent with the file name)

             Path = "DemoMod/", --MOD file path
	     Version = "0.0.1", --MOD version, used to distinguish MOD versions
             SupportedVersion = "0.6.*" --Game versions supported by MOD (* means no restrictions)
}
