Modding System - Quickstart Guide

This document shows how to create addons, references, and use common arguments in the LoopModding system for Unity.

1. Addons

Addons are JSON files placed in the folder:

Mods/Addons/

Structure example:

{
  "modName": "WelcomeMessage",
  "eventName": "OnGameStart",

  "PrintMessage": {
    "chatMessage": "Welcome to the game!"
  }
}

• modName: The name of your mod.
• eventName: The event that triggers this addon (e.g., OnGameStart).
• Actions: Each action (like PrintMessage) has an object of arguments.

The mod manager will load all addon files and map actions to events.

2. References

References are reusable JSON entries stored in:

Mods/References/

These files contain key-value pairs that you can reference in your addon JSON files.

Example of a references file (colors.json):

{
  "warningColor": "#FF0000",
  "infoColor": "#00FF00"
}
