| − | ==Basic setup==
| |
| − | 1. First you have to download and install Unity 2018.2.x (the version will change as the game will progress further,
| |
| | | | |
| − | we’ll update this guide and notify that we changed the Unity version)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | https://unity3d.com/get-unity/update
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2. Download the modkit content and modkit samples on GitHub (you can download directly using the clone or download
| |
| − |
| |
| − | option then download as a zip but it’s highly suggested to use TortoiseGit to be able to quickly upgrade the modkit afterward)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | https://github.com/zelerj/eoemodworks/
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 3. You can now open any of the sample Unity projects included in the modkit content or you can start from the empty
| |
| − |
| |
| − | project but it’s better at first to start from a sample template.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 4. Install the databank (allow you to reuse objects of the game in custom levels or in levels modifications)(Optional Step)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | First you need to download and install the databank from the steam workshop here:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1285627706
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The databank doesn't appear in the Edge of Eternity Game Folder. So you need to go into your default Steam installation.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Navigate into your workshop content folder: steamapps\workshop\content\269190\1285627706. You need to copy the 4 files inside
| |
| − |
| |
| − | and past them to the Databank folder you will create at the root of your project (for exemple mine is F:\Logiciel\Edge of eternity modkit\eoemodworks-master\SampleMods\1_Model_Swap\Assets\Databank).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Back in your Unity Project, at the top, select EOE Mods Toolkit -> Import Databank.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Press the Import button at the bottom. Now inside of the Databank folder you created, there should be a new eoe folder,
| |
| − |
| |
| − | with all the necessary prefabs inside. You can use any of these in your mods, and any mod you upload to the workshop will
| |
| − |
| |
| − | require users to download the Databank workshop item.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 5. Install the levelkit (allow you to see in the editor the actual game levels for precise)(Optional Step)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | placement of elements during level modifications)
| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Unzip the folder at the root of the Unity project that contains your mod (not in the Assets directory in the parent directory)
| |
| − | ===How to setup mod settings===
| |
| − | 1. Open the mod settings window by going into the menu "EOE Mods Toolkit -> Mod Settings" on the menu bar ontop of the screen
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2. Create a unique Mod Identifier for your mod (warning : if two mods share the same Mod Identifier they will not be compatible
| |
| − |
| |
| − | together, with the Mod Identifier you'll be able to cross-reference mods)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 3. Fill the mods metadata like the miniature, mod name, mod description, those will be used for the ingame display of the mod
| |
| − |
| |
| − | (not the workshop), the standalone adventure checkbox allow you to override the beginning of the adventure and set another map
| |
| − |
| |
| − | as the default map ingame so you can create another adventure from scratch with the Edge Of Eternity Modkit using the rules
| |
| − |
| |
| − | of the game or you custom ones using the scripting engine (the user will get a choice when trying to start the game he will
| |
| − |
| |
| − | be able to choose between the normal game or the custom adventures mods)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Building and testing==
| |
| − | 1. Open the local mod build window by going into the menu "EOE Mods Toolkit -> Build Mod" on the menu bar ontop of the screen
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2. Fill the mod directory from your game path on Steam (Steam\steamapps\common\Edge Of Eternity\EdgeOfEternity_Data\StreamingAssets\Mods)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 3. Ensure that auto-tag assets is checked and click the build button
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 4. Launch your game, the mod is ready to be tested, you'll be able to find it in the mod window of the game
| |

| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Uploading to steam==

| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2. Fill the metadatas (key image, screenshots, name, description, tags, etc...) and then click create mod (if you are updating an existing one the
| |
| − |
| |
| − | case will be update mod and if you loose the link to your mod you can reattach it in the manage my workshop section)
