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. |
Level List
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.
