Detective - Support Mod

This is a support mod, it doesn't impact gameplay and isn't useful if you are not a modder. You want to check if another mod is loaded to adapt your mod's behavior, but there's no built-in way to do it? Detective is here for you. This mod provides: - A shared registry on game. Detective that mods can register with and query. - Lookup by mod name or Steam Workshop ID. - Mods work fine whether Detective is installed or not. Usage: Register your mod (in POST_MODS_LOADED): local registerHandler = {} function registerHandler:handleEvent(_, _) if not game. Detective then return end game. Detective.register("YourMod", { version = "1. 0. 0" }, 123456789) end events:addDirectReceiver(registerHandler, { game. EVENTS. POST_MODS_LOADED }) Check if another mod is loaded (in ON_START_FINISH): local checkHandler = {} function checkHandler:handleEvent(_, _) if not game. Detective then return end if game. Detective.check("OtherMod") then -- adapt behavior end end events:addDirectReceiver(checkHandler, { game. EVENTS. ON_START_FINISH }) Compatibility: Compatible with all mods.
