How to install Mods

Since Alpha 22 Pioneer has had support for modding. This is done by allowing core game data to be added to or overwritten by data in your userdir (that is, 'My Docs/Pioneer' for Windows, '~/.pioneer' for Linux, and '~/Library/Application Support/Pioneer' for OSX).

You have two options for adding files:

• Put them in userdir/data. Any files in this dir will be visible to the game as part of its normal data/ dir.
• Put them in a zip file in userdir/mods. The zip file contents will be visible to the game as part of its normal data/ dir.

If a file in your userdir (data or mod) conflicts with one in the core datadir, your copy will be used. You can use this fact to replace core files.

This mechanism can be used for any file under data/ - ships, models, systems, music, fonts, textures, whatever.

The who/when/where for mod storage/testing/package compilation is still to be established. As with all things concerning Pioneer it is up to interested parties to resolve this. There is the beginnings of a discussion on the discussion page as not everyone is on the mailing list yet (another could be started on a specific task page if anyone wants to). You need to register to edit pages and contribute.
