Definition Extension API

Description
API mod to add a custom <ModExtensions> Tag to any SBC file. Definitions can then be loaded by any mod using DefinitionExtensionsAPI.cs (included in this mod) and adding this mod as a dependency.

Block mods do not need to add this mod as a dependency, just have a text file named DefinitionExtensions.txt in the root of the Data directory listing every sbc or xml file that contains definition extensions.

Supported definitions:
CubeBlock
Components
PhysicalItems
PlanetGeneratorDefinitions
EnvironmentDefinition

Example tag and tag types below: Multiple tags of the same type are supported, tags with the same "Name" and type will override each other, mods can mod other mod's tags, mod load order determines what is precedent.
<ModExtensions> <Group Name="TestGroup"> <Text Name="sTest" Value="Test String" /> <!-- strings --> <Integer Name="Test" Value="10" /> <!-- integer values (whole numbers) Max value 9223372036854775807--> <Boolean Name="bTest" Value="false" /> <!-- true or false --> <Decimal Name="dTest" Value="1" /> <!-- any decimal number ex. 0.14333333 --> <Vector2I Name="v2iTest" X="1" Y="1" /> <!-- Integer valued 2 axis vector --> <Vector2D Name="v2dTest" X="1" Y="1" /> <!-- Decimal valued 2 axis vector --> <Vector3I Name="v3iTest" X="1" Y="1" Z="1" /><!-- Integer valued 3 axis vector --> <Vector3D Name="v3dTest" X="1" Y="1" Z="1" /> <!-- Decimal valued 3 axis vector --> <Color Name="cTest" R="255" G="0" B="0" A="255" /><!-- Color in R G B A, values can be between 0 and 255--> </Group> </ModExtensions>

Mod now also supports custom gamelogic loading. This still is in the experimental stage, so please report any issues on my discord. Format is below. Mods can register a gamelogic component to the name and it will be loaded for any block that includes the SBC tag with the same name.
<ModExtensions> <ModComponents> <GameLogicComponent Name="TestComponent" Enabled="true" /> <!-- Enabled is by default true, but can be set to false to disable a custom gamelogic component--> </ModComponents> <Group Name="TestGroup"> <Text Name="sTest" Value="Test String" /> <!-- strings --> <!-- etc --> </Group> </ModExtensions>

API also provides an easy method for deploying terminal controls with your MyTSSCommon script! See the API files for details or ask on my discord or in the Keen discord in #modding-programming.

Mods looking to implement this mod and read the assigned values via script can copy Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\244850\2756894170\Data\Scripts\DefinitionExtensions\DefinitionExtensionsAPI.cs into their mod.

No. Mod isn't compatible for crossplay anyway.

Hi, I wanted to ask if it would be okay to upload your mod to mod.io?
Since we want to start a private crossplay server and would like to continue using your mod.

Strange, ill do a bit more testing. I said it was this mod because when i removed it, the turrets started working again. However, someone else recommend i check download order, and it is most likely that that's causing it. I apologize for reporting something thats not your fault, please have a nice day.

Hi, this mod does not do anything on its own. It needs other mods to implement its function.

It is unlikely this mod will be causing this effect.

In multiplayer, when a player is in the turret, none of the other players can build blocks. This breaks multiplayer games, please fix it.
