X4 Mod Support APIs
This is a collection of APIs developed to ease mod creation in a variety of ways. Components include:
* Lua Loader API
- Support for loading lua files
* Simple Menu API
- Create custom menus
* Interact Menu API
- Add new context menu commands
* Named Pipes API
- Inter-process two-way communication
* Hotkey API
- Create new hotkeys
* Time API
- Real-time delays
Primary development is on github:
https://github.com/bvbohnen/x4-projects/tree/master/extensions/sn_mod_support_apis
Extended documentation on api usage:
https://github.com/bvbohnen/x4-projects/tree/master/extensions/sn_mod_support_apis/documentation
Latest releases (nexus may be slower to get updates):
https://github.com/bvbohnen/x4-projects/releases
Also available on steam workshop.
Usage:
This mod has two parts:
1) The X4 extension includes all x4 plugins that other mods can call, and is necessary for any dependencies.
2) An optional external program acts as a host for the named pipes api, and supports the hotkey api. This is Windows-only for now, and needs to run in the background while X4 is open to support any hotkey mods (or other mods using the named pipes). A Python source code version can also be obtained from github and run directly by users with Python installed. See github documentation for version and package requirements for running from source.
