GameEditor DLC

[knucklecrunchgames]

Hello guys haven't posted in a while (by the way HAPPY HALLOWEEN!) So I'm making a game packed with dlc like extra levels and skins.

Can one dat file change or add code to another dat file, for example

I install load a dat file and it adds the new skin animation on my game.

Can GE do that?

Thanks KnuckleCrunchGames

There's a sort of work-around way. There's no way to do this simply.
The attached file has an example. Moving the "unlocks.dlc" from the folders to the same place as the DLC_TEST.ged and then clicking load will load the variables from the "unlocks.dlc" and enable certain DLC's. This is achieved by creating a variable in the game like the one shown in the .GED as an array, and putting it in a new save group (this one titled "DLC"). After that, a button was added that on mousedown, did an event like this:

Code: Select all

DLC[0] = 1;
DLC[2] = 1;
DLC[3] = 1;
DLC[5] = 1;
saveVars("unlocks.dlc", "DLC");


That code saving a unlocks.dlc that unlocks DLC's 0, 2, 3, and 5.
There are other ways of saving and loading data files, and you can seperate them into single files that unlock single DLCs if you want to.

This is probably the most basic way to do it, while there's other ways with more advanced saving / loading functions.

(You'll need to download the 1.4.1 Beta to view the demo, go do that now! Also ignore the global code and drawText functions, if you want them, click the "Black hole of codes" link in my signature to get it)
