How to Contribute : Metadata

June 11, 2020 ยท View on GitHub

Metadata are additional names given to different elements of the game, that are not present in the original game's data files.

Metadata

We need metadata because:

  • It makes understanding the game's scripts easier
  • It helps us implement script commands better
  • It's an important step towards scripts modding

How to edit metadata

  1. Get a local copy of the game on your computer here is how!
  2. Fire up the editor and start a game.
  3. Close the editor areas you don't need (Scripts and Debug HUD): Close areas you don't need
  4. Browse the scenes with the Locator area: Browse the scenes
  5. Right click an actor or zone in the Scene area to rename it: Rename an element
  6. Rename the element and press Enter.
  7. Commit your changes on git and send us a pull request

Other metadata

You can also edit the model and animation names in the model editor. Keep a watch as we'll be adding new elements of the game to be renamed.
