Distributing your mod.
To distribute your mod. You need the following:
- A JasX content server. Log in at jasx.org and then go here and click Get a content server.
- A GoT mod installer (included with the GoT devkit).
- A manifest.
The manifest is needed to tell the HUD what items go where from the installer.
Click the Setup Manifest button (under save changes) on your mod page. Many items will be auto generated. But some items like HUDs and monsters need to be added on this page manually. Leave a field blank to ignore it.
Make sure that "Ignore auto generated" is NOT checked. And click Save BETA.
Rez the GoT ModInstaller in world and rename it to the name of your mod.
Copy the public key from the main mod page and paste it into the HUD description. So if your mod public key was "29664c2dcff8e2bf" set the box description to "29664c2dcff8e2bf_BETA"
Open the got ModInstall script and click reset. If everything worked you can now click the mod box to install it into your HUD.
