<h1>Custom mods</h1>

<p>
|
|
AssaultCube allows 3rd party developers to extend the game by using the existing AssaultCube
|
|
engine/data for their own modifications (so long as you keep within the license agreements for the particular media
|
|
which you are modifying), without the need to overwrite existing data (i.e. content replacement).
|
|
Another advantage is that it allows you to add mods cleanly without placing the files inside the
|
|
main AssaultCube directory.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When AssaultCube loads files for the game, it looks into several directories to find the file to load.
|
|
This list of directories can be extended using the <a href="commandline.html#mods">--mod argument</a>,
|
|
which lets you add custom directories.
|
|
Using this feature, it is possible to supply a mod directory that contains customized data (textures, etc),
|
|
so once AssaultCube loads data, it loads it from that mod directory instead of the main directory.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>Example:</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Assume you want to create a mod that provides a customized hud-gun, you would create a mod directory:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Create a <i>"mod"</i> directory: <b>AssaultCube\mods\MyMod1\</b>
|
|
<br clear="none" />...where AssaultCube is your main directory (%programfiles%\AssaultCube_v1.0).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Inside your mod directory, add your customized hudgun: <b>AssaultCube\mods\MyMod1\packages\models\hudguns\assaultrifle.md3</b>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Now to make AssaultCube aware of this mod you'll need to start AssaultCube with the argument <b>--mod=mods\MyMod1 </b>
|
|
<br clear="none" />...now every time AssaultCube wants to load packages\models\hudguns\assaultrifle.md3
|
|
it will look in your mod directory first, therefore loading your custom version instead of the original version.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To start AssaultCube with the mod argument, you will most likely need to modify the AssaultCube launcher.
|
|
See <a href="commandline.html#launcher">command line</a> on how to do this...
