7D2D XPath Mod Gen Tool

Small side project to help with writing 7d2d XPath mods

• reads in configs using xml2js lib
• outputs resulting XPath xml's into output directory
• changes are made using a Generator
  • Generator takes as input the config & outputs the resulting XPath changes
  • GeneratorManager will combine changes of multiple generators to output the xml's
• fully typed 🎉

Dependencies

In brackets is what is confirmed to work

• Node (v19.3.0)
• npm (9.2.0)

Setup

1. npm install

That's it

Usage

1. npm run build after any changes
2. node ./dist/index.js <7d2d-config-dir> <output-dir> <namespace> assuming your entrypoint is index.ts
   • 7d2d-config-dir is located in 7d2d-install-location\Data\Config
   • output-dir is self-explanatory
   • namespace is the name for the top level root node in the output

Limitations

• so far only set XPath tags are supported
• so far only the following config files are typed
  • spawning.xml
  • gamestages.xml
