Modloader

Modloader is a feature inspired by GTA Modloader by link2012, it is not as powerful as the GTA version but it is still pretty useful.

How to use Modloader

What isn't supported?

Currently, Manhunt version of modloader doesn't support swapping:

INI
PAK
Any audio file

How to load mods?

It depends on type, but every mod needs a folder. Create a folder with any name inside modloader folder.

Modloader comes with a custom DFF loader which allows to load multiple .dff files and append them to the model list.

Some files are ignored from beign loaded, they are specified in modloader.ini file.

By default, your .dff filename cannot be gmodelspc.dff or modelscpc.dff. Model requires TXD to be loaded too, you'll need a filename with .txd extension which is the same as the model name (Katana.dff requires Katana.txd).

Example folder tree:

---- My Custom Katana
-------Katana.dff
-------Katana.txd

The .dff file will be loaded and any model that it replaces will be replaced.

Swapping normal files

To swap normal files, you'll need to recreate the original path.

Example folder tree

---- My Custom Loading
-------pictures
--------TITLE
---------title_pc.txd

The file will be loaded in place of the original.

You can view list of loaded mods in the "Modifications" menu.

Modding Limits

PluginMH replaces existing animation loader with a new one which allows to use more than 1000 anims in one file (number adjustable in .ini).

Map material limit was increased from 300 to 2500.

Additionally, TOC (Table Of Contents) no longer needs to be updated!

Configuration

Open .ini file to see available options, comments explain what is doing what.

option can be true or false

option can be any number in decimal (1) or hex format (0x1)

option can be text
