Creating Game Modifications
In Frets on Fire, game
modifications or mods for short are basically collections of
files that have been modified from the original game and
therefore change some aspect of the game, such as graphics or
sounds. At the moment code modifications that alter the
gameplay are not officially supported by the game. The
modifications are stored in the
data/mods directory.
When a modification is actived from the game settings, the
game looks for every data file it loads first from the
modification directory. If the file isn't there, the stock
data file is used instead. In this way, modifications can
override the data files shipped with the game.
Quick guide making a mod
- Modify one or more of the game files in the data
folder.
- Create a folder for your mod in the data/mods
folder. The folder name will be your mod's name.
- Copy the files you modified into the mod's folder.
- Zip the mod folder and spread the resulting
package.
