referencing another mod

[oliverjanda]

Hi,
how can I do something like:

Code: Select all

if(AnotherMod.IsInstalled)
{
do some magic;
}

U can check for cues, as far as i remember.
So if u want to check for a Mod called Test who has a base cue called Test_Main, then u can check for it like this:

Code: Select all

<do_if value="@md.Test.Test_Main.exists">
  <!-- do ur magic -->
</do_if>

Another method would be to check if a cue of a mod already completed.
<event_cue_activated/> or <event_cue_completed/> would be the way to go then.

thats not the mod Test but the md script Test


but if the related mod has no MD Scripts to check for you can also check for the presence of t-file entries (either by reading a certain Entry and checking if its diffrent from the usual ReadText or by checking <get_text_ids_in_range/> has more than 0 Entries) or you might be able to add your own md script to an existing mod by putting it in
/extensions/*your mod*/extensions/*other mod*/md
although i didnt try out if this works for md files so not sure if it would work... (its the method for diff files)

Thx, checking for the cue should work.
