The first line references either the default or override folder for an external PNG file (note the file extension) to draw the sea chart. MapNavigationData=campaign/images/maps/norwegian_sea_navmap MapImage=campaign/maps/norwegian_sea_chart.png When specifying a reference to an image in either the default or override folder, FILE EXTENSIONS MUST BE SPECIFIED.įor example the file "campaign/campaign001/camapign_data" contains these two lines near the top: When specifying a reference to an internal image, FILE EXTENSIONS ARE NOT SPECIFIED. Supported image formats are PNG and JPG only. Whether you edit default or override is up to you, but we recommend editing the override folder in order to keep your default content safe and for use as templates. Do not attempt to modify anything outside these folders as the game cannot access it. When discussing modding of Cold Waters, both the default and override directories are considered the "parent" folder. Internal files cannot be modified, but references to the various internal files can be changed.
So files in the override folder are always checked for and used first.įinally internal files are used. If the override folder is not present, create a new folder yourself called "override" in the same folder as default. When loading game content, Cold Waters looks in 3 places in the following order for game content: Mac: ColdWaters.app/Contents/DataResources/Data/StreamingAssets/default PC: ColdWaters_Data/StreamingAssets/default If you corrupt your default folder, simply delete it and re-download from Steam.ĭefault folder location is inside the Cold Waters installation directory Before beginning, we recommend backing up your "default" folder to a safe location. Then build on from there.Ĭold Waters supports significant modding. Choose a simpler topic you want to work on (campaigns not recommended initially), read up on it and then experiment by changing one parameter/element at a time to see how it effects the game. While the amount and complexity of the content within this guide might appear overwhelming at first, don't be alarmed. This document is a work in progress and will be expanded upon over time.Īlso be sure to back up the edits you make to a safe location as currently we are unsure if/how the Steam auto-update feature might impact the override folder contents.
