About this project

What does CustomPlayStyles add?

Ever wished you could create a custom playstyle so your users don't have to manually copy settings from your modpack page?
Or perhaps you are a developer who wants to test world generation settings without copying and pasting them every time?

This mod makes things easy: you can simply modify the `worldconfig.json` file provided by the mod.

**How to use:**
1. Create a new world in-game with your desired settings and copy those settings.
2. Open the `worldconfig.json` file inside the mod.
3. Locate the `"worldConfig": { ... }` section.
4. Replace the contents inside the brackets with your copied settings.

**Customizing Name and Description:**
You can now customize the name and description of your playstyle by editing the `en.json` file located in the `assets/game/lang/` folder of this mod. 

*Note on an Engine Limitation: Due to how Vintage Story loads mods into memory, custom playstyle names (like "playstyle-custom") might show up as raw code on the very first start of the game. Just load any world, save and quit back to the main menu, and the correct names will be displayed properly!*

**Special Thanks to:**
*   **DanaCraluminum** for the initial plan and debugging the mod.
*   **JimmyMac** for discovering the UI language loading workaround and explaining the engine limits.
*   **Beeblebrox94** for providing the fix to restore the in-game music.
