Guide:Modding

Creating a mod for Carrion is almost the same process as creating a custom level because of how the Mod Loader works. Both custom levels and mods are created inside project directories: all the levels, scripts, templates, audio, textures, all are placed in their respective project's folder.

When loading a project, the game looks for any content inside UserContent\<projectname> before Carrion\Content. That means that, for example, if there are no levels in the project's folder, it just loads the main game's levels instead. That also means that any file inside the project's folder will replace the default files, such as textures, audio, or custom scripts.

Textures

Creating a "Textures" folder inside UserContent\<projectname> can allow for further customization. The folder structure inside the Textures folder needs to be the same as the one in Carrion\Content\Textures, and any texture inside will override the default ones.

To change textures, just put the texturename.xnb file inside the corresponding folder in UserContent\<projectname>\Textures. You can either copy textures from an existing level, or create your own with Carrion Dev Tools.
