Changes: Mod Example: Chat Command

Revision as of 11:06, 10 April 2019

About

This mod adds new chat commands to the game: /mods and /outdatedmods, represented by 2 files in data/scripts/commands/. It also shows how to use the main.lua file to have mod-specific update calls.

/mods lists all mods that are currently running on the server.
/outdatedmods lists all mods that are outdated, ie. a newer version is available in the steam workshop.

In the main.lua file, it regularly prints a message to the chat when mods are outdated on the server.

modinfo.lua

serverSideOnly = false This mod would be server-only, if it wasn't for some localization files that have to be present on the client to translate.
clientSideOnly = false The mod cannot be client side only, since it uses chat commands that must run on the server.
saveGameAltering = false The mod doesn't add any new scripts or assets to the game, so it doesn't alter save games in a way that they might become corrupted once the mod is no longer active.

Localization

In the data/localization/ folder you can find an example for a German localization of texts that appear in the mod.
