Creating Modules for the new menu system
In order to create modules for the new UI system, you first need to create a directory for your module in [path to your game]\ChilloutVR_Data\StreamingAssets\Cohtml\UIResources\GameUI\mods
In there you need to create a mod.js that contains the following base code. For the example the mod is called testmod:
cvr.menu.prototype.testmod = {
uiRef: {},
info: function(){
return {
name: "Test Mod",
version_major: 1,
version_minor: 0,
description: "a quick mod to test some basic features",
author: "Your name",
author_id: "Your user id",
external_links: [],
stylesheets: [],
compatibility: [],
icon: "",
feature_level: 1,
supported_modes: ["quickmenu"]
};
},
register: function(menu){
uiRef = menu;
console.log("Test Mod: register");
},
init: function(menu){
console.log("Test Mod: init");
},
}
the info function will provide the menu system with all necessary information about your module.
"external_links" can consist of social links with the following structure:
{type: "twitter", url:""},
{type: "discord", url:""},
{type: "github", url: ""}
"stylesheets" contains a list of stylesheets that need to be positioned inside the same folder. The structure is as follows:
{filename: "mod.css", modes: ["quickmenu"]}
"compatibility" will later designate any dependencies your module may have, so it is loaded in the proper order. The structure is as follows:
{mod_name: "another_mod", type: "dependency_loaded_before"},
{mod_name: "second_mod", type: "dependency"},
{mod_name: "optional_mod", type: "optional"}
You can also play UI sound from your module. In order for audio files to be detected the files need to be in wav format.
You can play those audio files using the following code:
uiRef.core.playSound("testmod_Switch");
The name you need to use is the module name followed by "_" followed by the filename without ".wav"
Inside the register function, you can register for events with the menu system.
Currently the following events are supported:
"eventUpdate1sec" gets called every second
"eventUpdate10sec" gets called 10 times per second
"avatarUpdated" gets called when the avatar is switched
"advancedAvatarValueChanged" gets called when an advanced avatar setting is changed. has 2 parameters for the callback: name, value
In order to register for an event you use the following code:
menu.core.registerEvent("advancedAvatarValueChanged", this.advancedAvatarValueChanged);
The following is an example that will play a sound when an avatar is switched and logs the changes of advanced avatar values:
cvr.menu.prototype.testmod = {
uiRef: {},
info: function(){
return {
name: "Test Mod",
version_major: 1,
version_minor: 0,
description: "Plays a sound on avatar change and logs advanced avatar value changes",
author: "Khodrin",
author_id: "00e7b5f2-07ac-c0b5-fd11-22e86f52f9de",
external_links: [
{type: "twitter", url:"@Khodrin3D"},
{type: "discord", url:"Khodrin#4654"}
],
stylesheets: [],
compatibility: [],
icon: "",
feature_level: 1,
supported_modes: ["quickmenu"]
};
},
register: function(menu){
uiRef = menu;
},
init: function(menu){
menu.core.registerEvent("avatarUpdated", this.avatarUpdate);
menu.core.registerEvent("advancedAvatarValueChanged", this.advancedAvatarValueChanged);
},
avatarUpdate: function(){
uiRef.core.playSound("testmod_AvatarSwitch");
},
advancedAvatarValueChanged: function(name, value){
console.log("Adv Avatar Value \"" + name + "\" changed to: "+value);
}
}
Currently every module in the folder will load, but the new main menu will have a dedicated mod settings page, where you will be able to enable and disable modules.
Some of these new features will be available to be set up once CCK 3.0 is released.
Please note, that this update contains features that will be compatible with the upcoming CCK 3.0 update. Those features are not currently available and will become available to everyone once the CCK 3.0 update releases on thursday this week.
We will post another announcement in the upcoming days, asking for feedback regarding the new CDN and storage network. Please make sure to give us proper feedback once that form is available so we can make sure to improve its quality further.
