Dummy files are fun!

From hoi3 dummy file:

Quote:MODDING
=======

To make a mod create a file in this directory named with a .mod extension.
If there are more files supplied it is best to put them in a subfolder with the same name as your mod.

Example in directory:

fun.mod
fun/somefile.txt

For this to work the \"fun\" directory must have a structure that mimics the base games.
So if you want to change a gui file you need to have the whole path as well, like so:

fun.mod
fun/interface/chat.gui

The fun.mod file would look like this:

name = \"Fun example\"
path = \"mod/fun\"

Full mod file syntax
--------------------
name = \"EXAMPLE\" # name of your mod, shown in launcher
path = \"mod/EXAMPLE\" # location of your mod files. note that full path is needed
archive = \"mod/EXAMPLE.zip\" # if you want to put your mod files in an archive instead (wont load path)
user_dir = \"EXAMPLE\" # optional. creates a sub directory where settings/map cache/savegames etc can be safely written for your mod and not get mixed up
replace_path = \"events\" # this replaces whole path instead of just adding files as normal. useful for directories where the game just loads everything
dependencies = {\"another_cool_mod\"} # this lets you control order of loading in case you build on top of another mod

DLCs use a similar file format (except with the .dlc extension), but also include extra syntax to check validity and ownership as well to unlock things in the game.

It's not as cool Sad

WTH 15 yr old kid who hacks a forum host? Why?

**Darth-Apple** · June 17th, 2013 at 2:00 PM

247
it wasn't a forum host. It was a full-on paid VPS webhost, and it angered a lot of customers. From what I can tell, the FBI is getting called today about it.
