Collection of utilities for modifying Disgaea and other NIS games.
Either extract the contents of a distribution zip for the particular game into
the installation directory of that game, or place a compiled dinput8.dll in
the base game directory and makaikit-modloader-{GAME}.dll in a mkplugins
subdirectory.
- Disgaea 7 Vows of the Virtueless/
- Disgaea7.exe
- dinput8.dll
- mkplugins/
- makaitkit-modloader-d7.dll
- mods/
Place the mod's directory in the mods subdirectory, for example:
- Disgaea 7 Vows of the Virtueless/
- Disgaea7.exe
- dinput8.dll
- mkplugins/
- ...
- mods/
- downloaded-mod-v1/
- ...
Mods are loose-file directories placed under the mods subdirectory. All
directory names prefixed by 1 or more underscores (_) are reserved for this
purpose (e.g. don't name it _generated).
Example layout:
- mods/
- my-mod-v1/
- databases/
- item/
- 10000_ITEM_MYMOD_CUSTOM_01.json
- files/
- data/
- sound/
- CUSTOM_SOUND.nlsd
- README.md
Mods are loaded in lexicographic order.
All files in the files subdirectory of a mod will be used to replace file
requests in the virtual filesystem used by the game. For example, if the game
requests data/sound/CUSTOM_SOUND.nlsd, the mod loader will attempt to find the
file and substitute it by mod load order.
Database entries for supported databases will be combined from all mods into a new generated database. These are placed in _generated/ on startup.
Database entries may come in 3 forms:
- Full JSON record. These are the output of the database unpacker. The file extension for these must be .json.
- RFC7368 JSON Merge-patch. These patches will be applied in mod load order to accumulate the final database record. The file extension of these must be .merge.json, and include either the record ID as a prefix, or the record's Lua enum name (ideally both).
- RFC6902 JSON Patch. These follow the same rules as merge patches but must have the extension .patch.json.
Only applies to Disgaea 6. Lua scripts in the scripts subdirectory of a mod
will be patched into a new script.dat on startup in mod load order.
