Announcement Modding with pak files.

He's talking about how it'll work in the next patch.

 

hm ok...so what´s the right way for the actuell version? i´m confused right now.

 

Hum what about if my .modpak have a file that's named exactly like another file in the .pak? cause i have my mod that provides quests then i have a new quest.config file. what about the one in the .pak? i'm confused!

 

Most mods what deal with the configuration files should merge instead of overwriting, so having duplicates isn't an issue. This is not true in all cases, as lists of lists can't be merged last I checked, so files like the oredistrobution can't be merged and have to be overwritten.

If you are simply adding quests to the quest.config file, then you can do fine by just merging.

This is an example out of one of my mods in progress.

Code:

{
    "__merge" : [],
    "initialquests" : {
        "__merge" : [],
        "glitch" : [ "glitchprogression01.gearup", "glitchcosmetic01.gearup" ],
        "human" : [],
        "avian" : [],
        "apex" : [],
        "floran" : [],
        "hylotl" : []
    }
}

This would add two quests at the startup for a Glitch Race on top of the other quests there.

 

how you make an mod into .pak file? I don't know how to shell turtle and thing.

 

Will we have the ability to combine all of the <mod_name>.pak's, into one singular <modpack_name>.pak. So the one file will contain say X count of individual mod.paks?

 

Hi Goate, look at my ModPackHelper tool it will do that for you.

PS : Mod has to be converted to .modpak file.

 

How do I "go to" a folder in cmd? Where am I when I open cmd.exe?

 

You don't need to use the command prompt. Just look up one of the several guides for packing mods.

 

Will the MacOS asset packer still work?
