The Katana Mod

Parent Previous Next



The Katana Mod is a simple Mod to install and add to the game. It follows the same principles to the Cube Mod, but adds more details and features.




Config Folder


The Config Folder of the Katana Mod contains the XML snippet that will be included into the game's DLL files. For the Katana Mod, this includes an Item that simply extends the existing machete item, but uses a custom mesh file.



File: KatanaSample\Config\Katana.xml

<configs>

       <!--  This tells SDX to add to the Items.xml -->

       <config name="items">        

               <!-- This tells SDX to add the following Items to the bottom of the Items list -->

               <append xpath="/items">        

               

                       <!-- New item will be Katana -->

                       <item id="" name="katanamichonne">

                               <!-- Extend it from the machete, but add the custom mesh -->

                               <property name="Extends" value="machete"/>

                               <property name="Meshfile" value="#michonnekatana?katana" />

                       </item>

               </append>

       </config>

</configs>



Icons Folder


       The Icons folder contains the item's inventory icons for the mod.


When the mod gets compiled, all files will be copied to your "Working\Mods\SDX\ItemIcons\" folder.


Resource Folder


       The Resource folder contains the unity3D bundle, which contains the 3D model of the Katana sword.


When the mod gets compiled, all files will be copied to your "Working\Mods\SDX\Resources\" folder.


Text Folder


The Text folder contains the localization files, either localization.txt or Localization - Quest.txt
