Creating a Patch

To create a patch file from the Mod Manager, right click your Patches List and select Create Patch. This will bring up the Patch Creator.

The Title field is where you should input the title of your patch. This will be displayed in the Patches list.

The Author field is where you should type your author credit. By default, this box is filled in with your Windows username, be sure to change this if you do not use your online username as your Windows username!

The System drop-down box determines which version of the game your patch is designed for. Due to differences in the file systems and executables it is important to select the right system. If your patch is written in such a way that it will work properly with both systems, then select the All Systems option.

The Blurb field is where you should input a small summary of your patch. This will appear on the Blurb Column in the Patches List.

The Description text box is where you should type a proper description of what your patch does. This is what will be shown if the user selects to view the Patch Information.

Upon choosing Create Patch the new mlua file will be opened in your default text editor (if no text editor is associated with the .mlua format then Windows will ask which program you wish to open it with). For reference on actually writing your patch, see the page on the Scripting Language
