Mod Manager

Mods (short for "modification") are self-contained addons for the base game.

Mods can be packaged with the Exodus SDK launcher and uploaded to Mod.io where other users can download them.

Option	Description
List of mods	The list of mods (every mod has a separate work directory, i.e. separate content with its own cache). The list is located in the file "modes_metadata.csv", one level higher than the binaries. If there is no file, the launcher will create a new mod project with the name "exodus", one level above the binaries.
Create Mod	Creates a new mod in the selected directory, including maps you have selected from the list, along with resources used by those maps. If possible, the "000" map will be included.
Add Existing Mod	Adds the selected directory, including its content and cache, to the list.
Build Mod	Builds the selected maps in the necessary directory. If the directory is different to the directory of the current mod, then it will create a new copy of the mod.
Delete Mod	Removes the selected mod(s).
Path	The file path to the current mod directory.

The Level List which is located in the current mod and can run in Exodus SDK.

If the map is marked by [built], this means the map is built and you can run it without Exodus SDK.

This string contains additional parameters for running Exodus SDK.

Option	Description

Launch editor	Launches the selected level(s) in the Editor Mode.
Launch game	Launches the built level(s) in the Mixed Mode.

Browse	Redirects to the website where you can download the mods from.

Collapse All	Collapses all lists.
Check All	Sets check marks to all mods.
Uncheck All	Removes check marks from all mods.
Filter	Shows/hides filter toolbar.

Run the launcher.
Select the mod (by default it is "main").
Select a map in the level list.
Click "Launch Editor" to load it.
If you want to launch in the "Mixed Mode", you need to close Exodus SDK and build the necessary map(s) in the launcher.
After you've created your mod, you can launch it as a game. Click Launch Game, then go to "Chapters". You will then be able to start your mod.

You must always build the "000" map, if you want to launch the game.
