Creating a Mod File

Mod Files

A mod file is a JSON file that shows BroMaker where all of your custom bros and abilities are. The file must end with .mod.json. Example from Bronobi:

{
    "Name": "Bronobi",
    "Version": "1.0.0",
    "BroMakerVersion": "0.0.0",
    "Author": "Gorzontrok",

    "CustomBros":[
        "Bronobi.json"
    ],
    "Assemblies": [
        "Bronobi.dll"
    ],
    "Abilities":[
        "BronobiForceWave.json"
    ]
}

"Name": The name of the mod.
"Version": Version of the mod.
"BroMakerVersion": Minimum version of BroMaker required to load the mod. Setting this is required to have your bro load, because BroMaker will reject bros whose BroMakerVersion is too old. I would recommend setting this to the current version of BroMaker you're using to develop your mod. "Author": The author of the mod.
"Assemblies": Custom Assemblies (.dll files), needed for the mod to work. Must be a file path that starts at the folder of the mod file.
"CustomBros": Custom Bro JSON files which are going to be loaded. Must be a file path that starts at the folder of the mod file.
"Abilities": Ability JSON files to load. Must be a file path that starts at the folder of the mod file. Note, these are not required to add custom abilities to a bro, it can be done entirely through programming instead.

Bronobi's File Hierachy is:
