Mod Loading¶
These go in the .c5m right at the biginning along with the other usual mod openers.
More in the game's manual
icon, description, modprio and the game's other mod info commands are in Illwinter's official modding manual, under "Mod Info".
needs_script_extender¶
This is ignored by the Script Extender yet would be seen by the vanilla game and fail to load the mod. You can put it anywhere, but I suggest right after icon and description in every mod that needs CoE5SE.
needs_script_extender
requires <ModName>¶
Ensure another mod's DLLs and Lua scripts load before yours. This is useful when you are making a mod on top of another mod or as a "core" and various additions mod strategy. If that mod isn't enabled, your mod still loads without it. Write it on a plain .c5m line: CoE5SE doesn't read #!@requires.
- ModName: The other mod's .c5m file name without
.c5m, capitals included.
requires MiddleEarth
Example .c5m¶
icon "banner.tga"
description "The wizards, realms and peoples of Middle-earth. Needs CoE5SE."
