In RimWorld, it is often best to use the XML attribute ParentName='BaseBullet' when making a bullet, because it will copy XML code from a pre-existing BaseBullet ThingDef, which can save us time and key taps.ĩc) Use your text editor. Next we will fill out our XML file by copying an existing revolver's ThingDef and a revolver bullet ThingDef. This file will contain the blueprints (ThingDefs or Thing Definitions) for our new gun and bullets. RimWorld>Mods>PlagueGun>Defs>ThingDefs>RangedWeapon_PlagueGun.xml We're going to make Defs for our Plague Gun and Plague Bullet.Ħ) Make a new ThingDefs folder in your Defs folder.ħ) Make a new text file in your ThingDefs folder, and change it to RangedWeapon_PlagueGun.xml. Everything from characters, animals, floors, damages, buildings, and even diseases in RimWorld use Defs. This makes things easier for us, the modders. Instead of using hidden C# code, RimWorld will look up an XML Def and copy it to the game world. RimWorld uses something called Defs like blueprints for in-game objects. For the purposes of this tutorial, however, we will use the RimWorld standard structure. Defs/StrangeNewAlienGuns/MyGuns.xml will work.
You can name your directories however you like under the /Defs/ subfolder. RimWorld will read your XML files in any directory. 5) Make a Defs folder in your Mod's directory.
