Mod Files

A mod file is a JSON file that shows BroMaker where all of your custom bros and abilities are. The file must end with .mod.json. Example from Bronobi:

{
    "Name": "Bronobi",
    "Version": "1.0.0",
    "BroMakerVersion": "2.6.0",
    "Author": "Gorzontrok",
    "CustomBros":[
        "Bronobi.json"
    ],
    "Assemblies": [
        "Bronobi.dll"
    ],
    "Abilities":[
        "BronobiForceWave.json"
    ]
}

Field	Type	Required	Purpose
Name	String	Yes	Name of the mod.
Version	String	Yes	Version of the mod.
BroMakerVersion	String	Yes	Minimum version of BroMaker required to load the mod.
Author	String	Yes	Author of the mod.
Assemblies	String[]	No	Paths to custom .dll files the mod needs. Paths start from the mod file's folder.
CustomBros	String[]	Yes	Paths to the [Custom Bro JSON files](/Gorzontrok/Bro-Maker/wiki/Creating-a-Bro-Via-a-JSON-File) to load. Paths start from the mod file's folder.
Abilities	String[]	No	Paths to ability JSON files to load. Paths start from the mod file's folder.

BroMakerVersion is required. BroMaker rejects bros whose BroMakerVersion is older than the installed BroMaker, so set this to the version you're developing against.

Abilities is optional. Custom abilities can also be added entirely through programming instead of a JSON file.

Bronobi's File Hierarchy is:

Bronobi/
- Bronobi.mod.json
- Bronobi.dll
- Bronobi.json
- ...

Each entry in CustomBros points to a bro JSON file. Paths are relative to the mod file's folder, so a bro file in a subfolder is referenced as subfolder/MyBro.json.
