SimpleModconfigPatch

Simple modconfig patch

Allows any dependant mod to easily json patch your mod config. They don't need to depend on this mod. Neither do you if you copy and paste a little bit of code. But it can still be used as a normal dependency as well.

You can copy this to your solution and just call it after you load your modconfig. 

NEEDS TO BE CALLED IN AssetsLoaded(ICoreApi api) in your ModSystem.

 

public static T PatchModConfig<T>(ICoreAPI api, T originalModConfig, string modConfigPatchFilePath)
{
    var modInfoPatchAsset = new AssetLocation(modConfigPatchFilePath);
    if (originalModConfig is null || modInfoPatchAsset is null)
    {
        return originalModConfig;
    }

    IAsset asset = api.Assets.TryGet(modInfoPatchAsset);
    if (asset is null)
    {
        return originalModConfig;
    }

    var modInfoPatch = asset.ToText();
    if (modInfoPatch is null)
    {
        return originalModConfig;
    }

    JsonConvert.PopulateObject(modInfoPatch, originalModConfig);

    return originalModConfig;
}

 

Then call like this:

try
{
    var fileName = $"{nameof(ModConfig)}.json";
    var loadedConfig = api.LoadModConfig<ModConfig>(fileName) ?? new ModConfig();
    loadedConfig = ModConfigPatcher.PatchModConfig(api, loadedConfig, "yourmodid:config/override/config.json");
    Config = loadedConfig;

    api.StoreModConfig(Config, fileName);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    Mod.Logger.Error(e);
}
