title: Supported Games
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p class="alert alert-warning">
|
||
|
|
This feature is experimental
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Why?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The supported/compatible games feature allows mods to specify the games that they work with, which improves
|
||
|
|
user experience.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Support sources
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### mod.conf
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can use `supported_games` to specify games that your mod is compatible with.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can use `unsupported_games` to specify games that your mod doesn't work with, which is useful for overriding
|
||
|
|
ContentDB's automatic detection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Both of these are comma-separated lists of game technical ids. Any `_game` suffixes are ignored, just like in Minetest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
supported_games = minetest_game, repixture
|
||
|
|
unsupported_games = lordofthetest, nodecore, whynot
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Dependencies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ContentDB will analyse hard dependencies and work out which games a mod supports.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This uses a recursive algorithm that works out whether a dependency can be installed independently, or if it requires
|
||
|
|
a certain game.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Combining all the sources
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mod.conf will override anything ContentDB detects.
