Ne düşünüyorsun?

how do you plan to have mods for android?

[Łukasz Jakowski 5,709]

Here is how it will work:

 

#############################
##
## Steam Workshop
##
## When reading any file, the game will always prioritize the mods folder followed by subscribed items from the Steam Workshop and finally the game files.
##
##
## You will find all files from this example in the folder: "modsExample" in the game files.
##
##
##
#############################

To create a new mod that can be submitted to the Steam Workshop, create a new folder file for your mod in the "mods" folder.

Inside this folder, place the files in the same folders as they are placed in the game.

Example:

# Step 1

Create a new folder in the "mods" folder in the game files.
Let's name this folder in this example: "MyOwnMod".


# Step 2

In the newly created folder: (Example path: mods/MyOwnMod/)

Create a text file named: mod.txt

## EXAMPLE CODE OF mod.txt file

{
    Name: "Two new Governments",
    Description: "This item will add two new Governments, and two flags.",
    
    Tags: [ "Map", "Government" ],
    
    ChangeNote: "First release",
}

## END OF EXAMPLE CODE OF mod.txt file

Copy it to mod.txt and edit it.

Set a name for your mod that will be visible in the Steam Workshop.

Name: "Your Title of the Mod in the Steam Workshop",

The same with Description and ChangeNote.


## Tags
In your tags, put the categories that your mod fits into


You can use as many tags as you like:
Tags: [ "FIRST_TAG", "SECOND_TAG", "THIRD_TAG" ],
Tags: [ "FIRST_TAG" ],

Example tags:

Tags: [ "Map", "Government" ],
Tags: [ "Scenario" ],
Tags: [ "Mod", "Laws", "Units", "Buildings" ],

# Step 3 - Main mod image: "logo.png"

In the same newly created folder: (Example path: mods/MyOwnMod/)

Place the main image file of the mod, which will be published on the Steam Workshop.

The mod's main image file must be named "logo.png".


# Step 4

We are already configured, now we can place the files that will be part of this mod in this folder.
We will create new governments for the game in this example.

## Basically, you create the file structure of the main game in the mod folder.


The Governments file is located in the path:
Game/Governments.json


So copy this file to the mod folder. Imporatant! : use the same path where you found this file.

mods/MyOwnMod/game/
## The file was in the game folder, so create a game folder inside the mod folder and place the copied file there.

If the "game" folder does not exist in the mod folder, create it. And there place Governments.json

Now when you launch the game, the game will load the Governments.json file from your mod. (Path of the file: mods/MyOwnMod/game/Governments.json)


# Step 5

Let's make some changes to the game!

Open Governments.json as a text file in Notepad.


### EXAMPLE CODE

        {
            Name: "YourGovernmentType",
            Extra_Tag: "k",
            GOV_GROUP_ID: 0,
            
            RulerTitle: King,
            RulerRoman: true,
            KingsImages: true,
            
            Color: [255, 194, 36],
            
            AVAILABLE_SINCE_AGE_ID: 0,
            
            REVOLUTIONISTS: false,
            
            AdvisorCost: -0.05,
            MonthlyLegacy: 0.35,
            MaxManpower: 1000,
        },
        
### EXAMPLE CODE END

You can add new Goverment from example code after any:
"        },"
in the file.


Add new Goveremnt to the file.
Extra_Tag: "k", (The tag should be unique)


To publish your mod to Steam Workshop, open the game, go to editor -> Steam Workshop -> and find your mod folder, click on it to publish.


## Update the mod

To update the mod, follow the same steps.
You can change "ChangeNote" description in mod.txt.

Do not delete the automatically created id.txt file!

What data can mod modify besides the government type? Please give us some json file formats for other data types, such as civilization, province, religion, disease, technology tree...

[Free City of Łódź 15]

Will it be possible to enable/disable mods during the game? For example in my folder i have three mods, but during game i use only one.

[Pistoletoff 13]

I've been dreaming about this

[GalacticCakes 126]

Will there be a mod selector? I mean I don't think the game is going to run 2703 mods at once, I think we should select what we are going to use, no?
