Mod loading and setting up games
|
||
|
|
================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For mods to show up in the "Custom Game" menu, we have to either find a manifest
|
||
|
|
file, or a liblist.gam, or a gameinfo.txt inside the respective mod directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It'll scan .pk3 and .pk4 archives, as well as loose files in the mod directory,
|
||
|
|
however it will not search inside any sub-directories.
|
||
|
|
It is trying to look inside the dlcache/ folder, but the engine is currently
|
||
|
|
restricting that.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A liblist.gam file can look something like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
game "My Cool Mod"
|
||
|
|
version "1.0"
|
||
|
|
startmap "e1m1"
|
||
|
|
trainingmap "traininglevel"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But more definitions are available.
|
||
|
|
Check src/menu-fn/m_customgame.qc's customgame_liblist_parse() function to stay
|
||
|
|
up to date regarding all the supported liblist variables that can be set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GameInfo.txt files are supported too. They originate from the Source Engine
|
||
|
|
filesystem, however there's no concept of Tools and Game AppIDs as Nuclide does
|
||
|
|
not link against Steamworks.
|
||
|
|
Support for such definitions is complementary and I'd advise not to expect it
|
||
|
|
to be feature complete. It has a concept of inheriting multiple paths as defined
|
||
|
|
by the specification.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you need more control, you can use manifest files. Similar to the default.fmf
|
||
|
|
that's in the root Nuclide source tree. You can set liblist entries like this
|
||
|
|
inside of them:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
-set gameinfo_game "My Cool Mod"
|
||
|
|
-set gameinfo_version "1.0"
|
||
|
|
-set gameinfo_startmap "e1m1"
|
||
|
|
-set gameinfo_trainingmap "traininglevel"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please name the manifest the same as the mod/game dir. For example if your game
|
||
|
|
its directory is named "foobar" name your manifest "foobar.fmf".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That's all there is to know about mod-detection in Nuclide its menu progs.
