The [modification] toplevel tag

This tag describes an SP or MP modification. A modification is, practically speaking, a bunch of events which get included into the scenario if the modification is enabled.

The following keys/tags are recognized for [modification]:

• id: identifier for the modification. Must be unique.
• name: the name of the modification, as displayed to the user.
• type: where the modification will be available for playing. Possible values are sp, mp, and hybrid.
• description: a brief description for the modification.
• allow_scenario: a list of scenario ids. Only the scenarios with matching ids will be allowed to be played with this modification.
• disallow_scenario: a list of scenario ids. Only the scenarios with matching ids will not be allowed to be played with this modification. Cannot be used in parallel with allow_scenario.
• allow_era: same as allow_scenario, but for eras.
• disallow_era: same as disallow_scenario, but for eras. Can't be used with allow_era.
• allow_modification: same as allow_scenario, but for modifications.
• disallow_modification: same as disallow_scenario, but for modifications. Can't be used with allow_modification.
• ignore_incompatible_scenario: a list of scenario ids. The scenarios with matching ids will be considered compatible with this modification regardless their dependencies.
• ignore_incompatible_era: same as ignore_incompatible_scenario, but for eras.
• ignore_incompatible_modification: same as ignore_incompatible_scenario, but for modifications.
• require_modification: a boolean value; if set to yes, all players have to have this modification installed to join the game. Default no.
• addon_min_version: (Version 1.13.0 and later only) the minimum version of your add-on with which this content is backwards compatible. Compare with the version string given in PblWML. Clients in multiplayer must have add-on versions agreeing with the addon_min_versions of eachothers content in order to play, and will be prompted to update otherwise.
• [event]: any [event] children written inside the [modification] tag will get included into scenarios that are played with this modification enabled. See EventWML.
• [lua]: any [lua] children written inside the [modification] tag will get included into scenarios that are played with this modification enabled.
• [options]: custom options. See OptionWML for details.
• [ai]: See AiWML for details.
• [unit_type_fix] (Version 1.15.0 and later only): Changes a unit type while this modification is active the supported attributes are:
  • type : the id of the unit type to change.
  • set_experience : changes the unit type's max experience.
  • set_cost : changes the unit type's recruit cost.
  • set_advances_to : changes the unit type's advancements.
  • add_advancement : adds a unit type to the possible advancements of this unit type.
  • remove_advancement : removes a unit type to the possible advancements of this unit type.

The [resource] toplevel tag

(Version 1.13.2 and later only)

The [resource] toplevel tag is similar to [modification] in that it contains [event] and [lua] tags which are then copied into the scenario. However, unlike [modification], resources defined this way are completely hidden from the user. To load a resource, use [load_resource] id=<resource id> in [scenario], [multiplayer], [era], [campaign], [modification], or [resource].
