Modding tool disables data compression for some files and excludes the tables folder.ġ. The non-table files in folder 'Data' should be packed into file 'mods/MOD_FOLDER/data/data.pak'.

Create diff tables for your mod by pressing button 'Create mod tables'.Ensure you have PAK with reference tables 'Tables_reference.pak' in folder 'Data'.You can test the your modification now in the editor or in the game (in this case you must set sys_pakpriority to 0).Extract and modify table files (by editor or manually).Ensure no mod is active (otherwise the mod would contain modifications from other mods).

'poi_type_my_first_mod' is created for 'poi_type'. Name of patch table is ORIGINAL_TABLE_NAME_NORMALIZED_MOD_NAME, e.g. This allows to use several mods in one time. The Modding Tool can store just modified parts of tables to mod PAKs. The tables are in 'Data/Libs/Tables' (or 'Libs/Tables inside the PAK'). See 'update files' in modding package download site. You need to have XML or TBL in wh_sys_PreferredDB, otherwise the editor won't be able to write created diff tables.Īlso make sure you have the latest version of Tables_reference.pak in Data folder. If you see errors during this phase, ensure you have set up database correctly, including the user.cfg file.
