I am currently working on a new Fan-made ModAPI for democracy 3. This comes from how I find it to take quite a lot of time to make mods, so I made a SQL/XML inspired unique format called WRK, specifically for this game.
Here is a sneakpeak of the current version:
The end goal would to be have an easy to work with Work-Directory, and you simply run a .jar file to compile or decompile mods between the game files and your mod files.
Feature roadmap:
means Done.
means unsure if it is needed.
means to-do.
means currently worked on.
-
compile policy CSV files into WRK format
-
compile policy WRK ifles into CSV format
-
compile into core-game files.
-
sort WRK output by category and mod.
-
Implement situations
-
Implement simulations
-
Implement votergroups
-
Implement relative values (Such as: Income is half of Income tax’s base value)
-
In-depth error detection to better tell the modder what is wrong
-
Allow total potential in overwriting or deleting gamedata.
-
Merge / Warn name conflicts
-
Allow conditional changes (Changes depending of a mod or DLC is enabled)
Ideas and feedback is encouraged.
I’ll release an early version as soon as I have what I deem a stable build.
