how to write mod / mod does nothing

[Luckyturtledev]

hi, I have try to write my first mod for this game. But it looks like the mod is not working. I had create a simple test.js saved at `mods/4.3.3/autoload/test.js` for testing how the mod api works. If I start the a game I get a message "Mod: test.js", which make me assume that the mod was loaded successful.
But the mod does nothing.

Code: Select all

receiveAllEvents(true);

function eventStartLevel() {
  debug("hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii");
  console("hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii");
  receiveAllEvents(true);
}

funciton eventMenuBuild() {
  debug("hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii");
  console("hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii");
}

I did neither see a message at terminal nor at the ingame console.
Sadly I do not know what I am doing wrong. The scripting doc give some advice, how to write AIs or challenges, but not how to write scripts which should simple run at the background.

Mods are loaded as .wz files (really .zip) that point to a directory either inside data/base or data/mp depending on if the game is using a campaign or skirmish/multiplayer setting (this is your base.wz or mp.wz file with the installed game--never modify these directly but feel free to copy and mold them into a new mod). https://github.com/Warzone2100/warzone2 ... aster/data

You then follow the structure of those folders to where you need to mod something and either mod a file or create a new one. You can use my Cobra AI as an example of a non-campaign mod. Typically new files can be loaded inside rules.js found in either base/script or mp/multiplay/script.

I guess this depends on what you want to do with your mod.
