Welcome to the GangV's Modding guide !

Here you will get all the information you need to create your own content for GangV !
Knowing how to program is optional !

The modding system uses Unity (Game Engine) to provide all the tools you need to create easily your mods. We recommend to follow the official Unity Tutorial[learn.unity.com] to get familiar with it before starting modding.

To start modding GangV, all you need is Unity installed with the exact same version as GangV.

As of 22th July 2022, it is 2021.3.5f1.

If you build mods with a different version it won't work.

To start modding, there's two options available :

• Use one of our templates
  
• Creating a new Unity project from scratch

In GangV's installation folder, there is a zip file containing a few Unity projects ready to use and export if you want to try. You can easily access this folder like this :



You can open it and see how modding content is made. You're completely free to use and edit it as you wish.
You can mouse-over the fields in the scripts attached to modded content to reveal a tooltip explaining what it does and how to configure it.

If you already made mods, you may want to create a clean Unity project. To do so, simply create an empty project and import GangV Mod Tools.unitypackage file also found in GangV's installation folder.

The modding system uses the same language as Unity : C#.

There's a few restrictions for security purposes, doing so will prevent your mod to be exported or loaded. You can't use System.IO and System.Reflection in your scripts.

Once your mod is ready for the testing phase you'll need to export it.
To do so, go in Tool > ModTool > Export Mod



It will open a small window :

• Mod Name Used to name the folder containing your mod
  
• Author Informative only, your Steam ID will be used when uploading the mod onto the Workshop
  
• Version Informative only
  
• Description Informative only, description can be edited in Workshop
  
  
• Platforms Use window only
  
• Content Indicates what should be exported.
  
• Log level How much detail the log will contain
  
• Output directory Destination of your mod

Make sure to tick every option your mod need to work.

Avoid to mix different types of mod. If you want to create a new gun and add something new to the map, it's better to create two separate mod for them. Like this if someone is only interested in the weapon, he won't have his map modified. It's not mandatory, you're free to mod the way you want to.

Once your mod is successfully exported, you can test it before uploading it in the Workshop. Simply put it in the Mods folder present in GangV's installation folder.
By default it should be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GangV

From the game, click on the Mods tab in the main menu.

Click on Test mod then Test Local Mod, it will create a private match where you can test your mods.

You don't need to restart the game every time you edit your mod, you can simply clic on Test local mod once more. Mods are dynamically found and loaded.
