It's important to note ACSE is not a replacement for the old mod manager, but rather a seperate method, I eventually hope to port over all mods to this new method, but more development time is needed until then, for now this functions as an alpha release, which will hopefully be expanded upon with a proper mod manager at some point.ĪCSE is specifically a code loader, but I will generally refer to 'ACSE mods' as anything that uses a new content pack to load in mods.

This can then be installed into your mod manager and other peoples mod managers.This is specifically a port of ASCE originally developed for JWE by OpenNaja.ĪCSE is an unofficial mod loader for Planet Coaster, giving developers access to the game's APIs, aswell as a much easier method for installation of mods. Once finished, the mod can be exported by clicking the Pack button at the bottom of the interface, this will prompt you to pick a location for the program to output a 'modname'.pcm file. Recommended formatting for the author metadata is as follows Name, Name and Name (will be displayed as By: Name, Name and Name) Exporting Try to keep the name short, but the description can be as long as you please. Mods can have a name, description and authors added to them, for easier sorting in the Mod Manager. Add the files you want to change in your mod and then put the relative filepath of the OVL file you're modifying into the text entry (clicking the Autofill Dir button will allow you to pick the ovl file in the game directory and auto-fill the text entry). Mods are incredibly easy to make, simply navigate to the Export tab and click the Add new file button at the bottom of the interface. Packing modified gamefiles into a mod file Adding files Note that uninstalling a mod removes all mod functionality using that specific OVL.

Removing a mod can be done in one of two ways, either click the mods delete button in the Mod Management interface, or uninstall all mods in the Mod Manager. When these mods are loaded into the manager, it may take a while for the application to respond to user input, as it is injecting the mod into the gamefiles. Mods are installed using the install mods button on the Manage tab.

The Planet Coaster Mod Loader was designed to be as intuitive as possible, so everything should be relatively self-explanitory. This program installs and packs Planet Coaster mods (.pcm files).
