How To Install The Modkit
1. First you have to download and install Unity 2018.2.x (the version will change as the game will progress further, we’ll update this guide and notify that we changed the Unity version)
https://unity3d.com/get-unity/update
2. Download the modkit content and modkit samples on GitHub (you can download directly using the clone or download option then download as a zip but it’s highly suggested to use TortoiseGit to be able to quickly upgrade the modkit afterward)
https://github.com/zelerj/eoemodworks/
3. You can now open any of the sample Unity projects included in the modkit content or you can start from the empty project but it’s better at first to start from a sample template.
(Optional Step) 4. Install the databank (allow you to reuse objects of the game in custom levels or in levels modifications)
(Link and procedure coming soon)
(Optional Step) 5. Install the levelkit (allow you to see in the editor the actual game levels for precise placement of elements during level modifications)

How To Setup Mod Settings
1. Open the mod settings window by going into the menu "EOE Mods Toolkit -> Mod Settings" on the menu bar ontop of the screen

3. Fill the mods metadata like the miniature, mod name, mod description, those will be used for the ingame display of the mod (not the workshop), the standalone adventure checkbox allow you to override the beginning of the adventure and set another map as the default map ingame so you can create another adventure from scratch with the Edge Of Eternity Modkit using the rules of the game or you custom ones using the scripting engine (the user will get a choice when trying to start the game he will be able to choose between the normal game or the custom adventures mods)

5. Remove the Animator component, add the component SetCustomAnimationAvatar and put the animation avatar of your character in the avatar slot of the SetCustomAnimationAvatar component
6. Choose an unique name for your GameObject and create a prefab in the project from it
7. Open the Asset Override Manager located in the "EOE Mods Toolkit -> Asset Override Manager" menu
8. Add a new entry and choose the entity that you want to override in the source entry "builtin" dropdown
9. In the replacement path enter the unique name of your GameObject that you prefabed (without the path, just the name of the Prefab), then in the Asset Load Method for the replacement choose "Asset Bundles Mod Kit" and finally in the DLC or Mod ID enter the unique mod ID that you put in the Mod Settings Window

How To Upgrade The Modkit And Your Mods To The Latest Modkit Version
1. To upgrade the modkit you have to maintain the connection to the github project, then pull the latest version.

'[ProjectUpgrader]::UpgradePath("../8_Scripting_Aura_And_AI")'
You just have to copy paste the same command afterward with your project path, then when y ou'll launch the _modkit_upgrade.bat script it will automatically update your mod project files
