You can download a sample mod with manifest here. Moreover there is also additional ability to colorize your mod description with BBCode tags. Set of valid categories which you can use as value of 'category' array entries:Дescription text length is not limited. The best way is not to use this variable as there is a very small chance that your mod will be broken. Tuning parts, trucks, model sets and any other Between patches (like 1.18.1 > 1.18.2) there is a very small chance that we will introduce some critical change to map formats and thus break compatibility. We might break map compatibility between major patches (1.17 > 1.18 for example) so you have to re-export your map mod from the map editor again. Just check if major game version part matches. REMEMBER! If you specify a very restricted set of versions, users of your mod may wait for you, to release a hot fix for the mod even if you have to change only the version number and your mod is 100% compatible with the latest release. This way you support both 1.19 and 1.20 patches. You can also use more than one compatible version definitions, like this: If we will release some hotfix, your mod will simply be incompatible with it. This usage is not a good idea as your mod will work only with the 1.19.1 version. You can also specify support for only one revision of the game which is not recommended as we do not change game a lot between minor patches. Examples in the table show compatible game versions for the string '1.19.*':

all patches with number starting with 1.19 are compatible. This means that the mod is compatible with all '1.19.x' versions, e.g. Note also that formatting of the Steam version with 's' suffix (for example: 1.18.1s) does not exist in this versioning so please do not use it.Д®ach item from the list supports wildcards formatting shown below: Note: If you want your mod to be compatible with all versions simply skip this parameter.

If the list is present and the game version does not match any version from that list, the user will be unable to use the mod and he will have to wait for author to update it. For possible text formatting see section 'DESCRIPTION OF YOUR MOD' Content of the description file is shown in mod details window and should include information about usage of your mod, additional credits of included mods etc. Description file has to be simple text file with. Name of file inside the root of the mod package directory which contains the description text. Name of file inside the root of the mod package directory which contains the icon image.You can use only categories from the set defined in 'CATEGORIES TO USE' If none is specified mod is assigned to 'Others' category. If you use more than two only first two will be used. Currently we limit categories up to 2 per mod. If none is specified name of the package without extension is used. Cutting will simply cut the string at some point and add '.' at the end of the string to mention that there is more content but it does not fit there. To avoid problems we perform cutting of the values to fit the UI. We do not limit attributes by length but some places where those meta data are displayed have limited space. # compatible_versions: '1.19.*' # Mod is compatible with 1.19.X. # Description file inside the root directory of the mod.

# Icon inside the root directory of the mod. # Author can be any string with any length. # Display name can be any string with any length. # Package version can be any string with any length. # Please keep this form to not make any conflicts with other mod packages (name collisions). # '.package_name' does not matter as the dot at the beginning of the file means that this unit is anonymous. To set all meta data information you will need to create 'manifest.sii' containing 'mod_package' unit definition file in your mod package. You can specify description, icon image and much more. Meta data are used by mod manager to display your mod to the user. Inside the package you can define manifest file containing meta data about the mod.

We recommend using normal directories for development of the mod and using zip archives for mod release, to make mod size smaller and more handy for end-user (on file vs.

normal directories - where each directory represents separate mod.

zip archives - exactly the same which you used before with the.

With the new mod manager we introduce packages. This page provides information about creating mods for the 1.19+ version of the game.
