Testing A Mod Script Without Having to Keep Rebuilding Mod

[Magicono43]

As the title says, is there a way that I can quickly test a .cs script without having to rebuild the mod every-time I change a few lines of code? I'm trying to solve something with some trial and error, but it takes most of the time just rebuilding the mod over and over again.

Haha, I know your pain.

What you need is to make sure you are keeping your mod code in Assets/Game/Mods

When you start the DaggerfallUnityStartup scene, it will read your *dmfod.json files as dfmod files.

Example of how I keep my files:

modstructure.PNG (20.84 KiB) Viewed 1083 times

This is not the most ideal way of doing it though. It's better to just keep each dfmod.json file in its respective mods subfolder. I simply started doing it like this and haven't bothered to change my habits.

Does the mod still function property if you just have dfmod.json inside the Assets/Game/Mods folder? I tried to put that alone inside and the mod was called "'mod name' debug" but when I started the game it would not do any of the debug log commands I gave it.

If I built and made a normal dfmod file and put it inside StreamAssets/Mods folder with the others, it functioned properly this time. I must be messing some of this up royally just bumbling around, but maybe i'll just keep rebuilding every-time. I guess the .json does not actually hold any of the scripts and assets, it's just there to debug mod builder settings or something.

You should probably give this a read:

I dont know what you put in the dfmod.json but code should go into separate.cs files

Take some time to read the modder docs TheLacus wrote. May help.

I skipped that one and read the other ones, since it looked like it was doing mostly graphical assets and seemed like more than I needed, but I guess scripts are sort of assets as well, so I probably should.

There's plenty about assets, but there's also this page... https://www.dfworkshop.net/projects/dag ... /features/
