Debugging
If you encounter any visual problems after using exported files, make sure you included
all required files before generating sprite sheet. You can verify by comparing the
unmodified game files.
New Files
If you want to load new files into the game (rather than modifying existing ones), add them to preload.json.
Note that preload.json only supports audio files at this time.
Specify the tipo, id, y camino in preload.json:
[
{ "tipo": "audio", "id": "customVoiceClip", "camino": "customCampaign/customVoiceClip.mp3" }
]
Assets referenced to preload.json are stored in the assets/custom directorio. In the above example, customVoiceClip would be located in assets/custom/customCampaign/customVoiceClip.mp3 and referenced to as customVoiceClip En el juego.
Uso
You can reference these custom files in custom scenarios, such as adding new voice clips for NPCs and mission objectives.
Sharing and Installing Mods
Use ModDB to submit and browse mods aquí.
Sharing Mods
Create a zip archive of the modded assets directory (only including the modified files).
Instalación de modificaciones
After downloading the mod zip, simply extract the contents to the Dinogen Online assets directory. The modded files will overwrite the existing game files.
Removing Mods
If you want to remove/uninstall a mod, simply right-click Dinogen Online in your Steam library > Propiedades > Archivos locales > Verificar la integridad de los archivos del juego. This will reinstall the original game files.
