The Config Tab

Your mod can have an optional config page that is accessed through the Mods menu.

• Setting Up Your Config Create the structure of your config in a file named config.lua stored in your mod directory. SMODS will take this and assign it as the config for your mod, handling modifications and reloading internally. Your config.lua file should follow a structure like this:

   return {
   	["setting_1"] = true,
   	["setting_2"] = {
   		["option_1"] = 50,
   		["option_2"] = 3,
   		["option_3"] = false,
   	}
   }
  

  You can access your config inside your mod by using this set up local config = SMODS.current_mod.config. Following this, using config.setting_1 would give you the value of setting_1 in your config.

• Creating a Config Tab To create a config tab, use this block of code.

   SMODS.current_mod.config_tab = function()
   	return {n = G.UIT.ROOT, config = {
   		-- config values here, see 'Building a UI' page
   	}, nodes = {
   		-- work your UI wizardry here, see 'Building a UI' page
   	}}
   end
