The addon system is a storage of various gamedata and .db archives that work without interfering with each other.

Basics

Addons directory

• $arch_dir_addons$ – folder with addons. By default ixr_addons\\

Operating principle: folder

• An addon in the form of a folder must contain an addon.init file inside it.

• This file may be empty.
• This file may have the following structure:

name: IX-Ray Anim Items
script: test_script.script

name: – name of your addon (optional).

script: – entry point of the script systems of your addon (optional). More details below!

script entry

The initialization script file is executed at the moment of engine/location/save loading. Therefore, it should only assign callbacks for the further operation of the addon.
Example:

SemiLog("Initial test addon script")

RegisterScriptCallback("update", my_script.update) --// calls code during actor:update
RegisterScriptCallback("save", my_script.save)     --// calls code during actor:save

Operating principle: archive

• It is enough to place the archive into the addons directory.
