Reasons For Mods

As you know, the Craft Wars mod has been officially released and has a considerable influence on the appearance and gameplay of the game.
I personally like this game, I want to try something new when I have played it for hundreds of hours. Like a typical look with real conditions and with a real culture so playing games will feel more exciting.

How to access Craft The World Game Editor

There are 2 ways to access or launch CTWGE:

Through STEAM
By logging into STEAM then go to the Library section and click Craft the World. When a pop up appears, click "Launch Game Editor".
Through the steam game folder
"F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\CraftTheWorld\Editor.exe" where "F:..." is the root of my drive letter folder to install my steam game. Maybe each computer will have a different root folder, so all you have to do is find the folder "...\SteamLibrary\...".

But it is recommended that you launch it through STEAM.

Main Windows And Menu

This is the main window that will open after we launch it.
[pictures]
There are a number of menus and submenus that I will explain in detail and maybe there are also some parts that I don't know. Therefore, I will openly accept anyone who wants to be a contributor to this guide.

Tools Menu

In the tools menu, there are 7 submenus consisting of:

Items Editor...
To add, remove, clone and change item properties.
Rooms Editor...
This can also be called a map editor.
To create an ancient room or treasure room guarded by monsters and zombies.
TechTree Editor...
An editor for the technology tree.
This section regulates the running of the gameplay from basic technology to advanced technology.
------------------------------------------------------------
Animation / Sound / Tech / Other Editor ...
Is a collection editor that regulates animations, sounds, technologies, removed items and initial equipments
------------------------------------------------------------

The menus below will open an xml file, it is recommended to install Notepad ++ to make it easier to modify.
Edit mod info xml...
To edit mod information to the users.
It can also be modified through the main menu Mods > Properties...
Edit creatures.xml...
This menu is to change the appearance of our dwarves skin.
Edit templates.xml...
To change all game structures based on planets like humidity, fauna, creatures and monsters.

Notes:
Be careful when changing xml files.
There is no gui editor yet at some points, so it must be changed manually.

Mods Menu

In the mods menu, there are 3 main submenus and 1 or more additional submenus:

New...
To make new mods.
Properties...
To change information for users such as icon, preview image, name, description, author and version.
Upload...
To upload your mods to the Workshop.
Make sure you agree with the workshop terms of service.

-----------------------
[ Game ] I suggest not changing this section or first backing up the original folder if you want to try changing this section. So always check the mods menu when you are modifying. Make sure it's your mods that you are modifying.
-----------------------
Your mods listed here

Localization Menu

This section is for adding game language translations to local languages if they don't already exist.
In the Localization menu section, there are 2 submenus:

Import (UTF-8)...
Import CSV files such as items, technologies, others, beastiary, tutorials, quests and ui.
Export...
Export CSV files such as items, technologies, others, beastiary, tutorials, quests and ui.

About CSV Files:
In computing, a comma-separated values file is a delimited text file that uses a comma to separate values. A CSV file stores tabular data in plain text. Each line of the file is a data record. Each record consists of one or more fields, separated by commas. Can be mod using normal Notepad or Notepad++

Help Menu

In the Help menu, there is 1 submenu:

Show Item Templates...
Will open the folder location at F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\CraftTheWorld\Doc\Templates
Where F is my SteamLibrary drive letter.

In the folder there are 3 other folders like:
1. Blocks
  Contains references such as block_template, bridge_template, column_template, ladder_template and roof_template.
2. Equpments
  Contains references such as axle template, backpack_template, big_gun_template, boot_template, bow_template, cuirass_template, gun_template, helmet_template, picke_template, shield_template, spear_template, staff_template, sword_template and weapon_template.
3. Skins
  Contains references such as female_dwarf_body_template and male_dwarf_body_template.
Note: Everything in this folder can be modified using Photoshop.

This is just an indicator of whether you use an internet connection or not when making a game mod.
Or if you launch it via the folder "F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\CraftTheWorld\Editor.exe", it will be detected offline even if you are online.

Editor seems to be bugged. Clicking "Mod properties" or "upload" gives no effect. How to resovle this?

Joe78man 17 Thg04, 2021 @ 3:35pm

Good guide. I'm trying to change the spawn rate of cave goblins, do you know how to do this? I currently have a cave with 24 of them and they spawn very rapidly so it's like fighting 30 instead. Impossible

Good guide, I managed to get most things to work by fumbling around blind and testing it in-game, I believe "slot" is just an internal sorting thing, anything that's not slot 0 can show up in store/inventory unless you check the box to remove it from those menus (i've gone as high as 9 and it didn't seem to make a difference, putting too many things in slot 1 for example seemed to crash my game on accessing the inventory after world generation about 70-90% of the time). Also might want to make a note that some things cannot be edited at all in the game editor and must be done by editing the XML file (like tower/catapult range, and tesla tower damage must be done by hand in the XML file).
