Installing Mod
« on: October 09, 2011, 03:25:56 PM »
Hey guys, so I saw plenty of info about installing maps, but what about installing the mods?  I downloaded a LUA file that is supposed to add a waypoint function, but I have no idea where to put it

Same place as the maps, though most/all "mods" are just code snippets for mappers to use in their maps. They don't affect the rest of the game in any way.

Whose waypoint thing was it?

Installation of mods is done by mappers, they just copy and paste it into their work and uses the code :)

Rallypoint V2.3 by Pilchard  (http://www.dyson-game.com/smf/index.php?topic=880.0|)

so there isn't any way to have it effect the main game?

Nope, sorry. Wait for the official update, I would. I think there's something in there that adds "Beacon Trees" - they act a bit like rallypoints.

Actually, you can integrate it into every single map...

I now wanna make a mod directory so yuo just need to add a code snippet in your lua file to run all your  mods...

Thx alot! :D
