This repository includes documentation on how to create mods for the game Dwerve. It also contains source code for official Dwerve Mods as well as Templates that you can copy and edit in order to make your own mods quickly and easily. The templates include easy-to-read TOML files which define mods, as well as spritesheets which you can edit with any sprite editor.
The mod system lets you customize the stats and sprites for Dwerve, towers, and enemies. You can also mod the general game configuration which determines when towers, power stones, and artifacts get unlocked. For example, you could reskin a turret, have it deal massive knockback, and unlock it in the first level.
Dwerve uses TOML to describe mods. TOML is a config file format that is easy to read and write. To create a new mod, just download the mod's template folder and edit any TOML and image files. For editing sprites, we recommend using Aseprite, but Piskel is a free online pixel software that also works well. There are templates for modding Dwerve, Towers, Enemies, and Configuration.
Template TOML files such as Dwerve.Stats.toml contain every moddable stat and their default values. You can ignore the lines for stats you don't want to change or delete them if you prefer to keep the TOML concise. Here is the TOML for the Super Fast Walk mod that doubles Dwerve's movement speed which is 4.3 by default:
ModTarget = "Dwerve"
[Stats]
Speed = 8.6All mods including both official and user-created ones are hosted on CurseForge, a platform that lets you browse, download, and manage mods from their website and the in-game UI. On CurseForge, you can also publish your own mods by selecting Start a project from the Create menu and then uploading a ZIP file that contains the TOML and image files for your mod.
