-====== Modding ======
-===== Prerequisites =====
-  * Install [[https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/download|Unreal Engine]] 5.4.4 in the Epic Games Launcher. Make sure no to use any other version. {{pasted:20250603-162652.png?nolink&600}}
-  * Install [[https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?missing_runtime=true&arch=x86&rid=win-x86&os=win10&apphost_version=8.0.13|.NET 8.0 Runtime]]. The link should directly start the download.
-===== Download the Modding SDK ====
-  * You can find the latest and older Modding SDK Versions on [[https://github.com/SimuverseInteractive/SubwaySim2-ModdingSDK|GitHub]].
-===== Creating a mod =====
-  * Go to ''Modding SDK\Plugins\SubwaySim_Extern'' in the downloaded SDK.
-  * Rename the folder ''Simuverse_ModTemplate'' to ''YourName_YourMod'' and inside the folder rename the file ''Simuverse_ModTemplate.uplugin'' to ''YourName_YourMod.uplugin''.
-  * Rename all occurences of ''Simuverse_ModTemplate'' to ''YourName_YourMod'' in ''YourName_YourMod.uplugin'' and ''Lua\mod.lua''.
-  * Start the project by double clicking ''Modding SDK\SubwaySim2.uproject''.
-  * Enable ''Show Plugin Content'' in the ''Settings'' of the ''Content Browser''. {{pasted:20250603-135837.png?nolink&600}}
-  * If you plan to create a map mod, you need to make sure that "Update Navigation Automatically" is enabled in the Editor for the NavMesh: Edit -> Editor Preferences -> Level Editor -> Miscellaneous -> Editing". {{pasted:20250606-191208.png?nolink&600}}
-  * Now you can use the content folder ''All > Plugins > YourName_YourMod Content'' for your mod content and the Lua folder ''Modding SDK\Plugins\SubwaySim_Extern\YourName_YourMod\Lua'' for your Lua scripts.
-  * We provide assets for your mods to build upon in the ''SubwaySim2_Modding'' plugin but do not modify them as the changes will be ignored.
-===== Building a mod =====
-  * Open the build script ''BuildMod.bat'' in a text editor to adjust the variables.
-  * Set ''DLC_NAME'' to ''YourName_YourMod'', ''ENGINE_ROOT'' to your engine path and ''LEVEL_PATH'' to your level (leave empty if not applicable). Example usages:
-<code>set DLC_NAME=Simuverse_SampleModMap
-set LEVEL_PATH=Level/SampleModMap</code>
-<code>set DLC_NAME=Simuverse_SampleModVehicle
-set LEVEL_PATH=</code>
-  * Run the build script by double clicking ''BuildMod.bat''.
-  * If you filled out the level path you can type ''y'' when asked to build the NavMesh for your level.
-  * Some errors and warnings are expected and can usually be ignored if the mod has been built successfully.
-  * The mod will be built in ''Modding SDK\Output\YourName_YourMod.pak''. Subsequent build times will be much shorter.
-===== Installing a mod =====
-  * Place the mod in ''%userprofile%\Documents\My Games\SubwaySim 2\Mods'' (create the folder if it does not exist). {{pasted:20250606-191859.png?nolink&300}}
-  * The SampleModMap can be selected in the "Choose City" menu and the SampleModVehicle can be selected as a vehicle in Berlin.
-===== Testing Lua scripts without rebuilding the mod =====
-  * Create an empty folder for your plugin ''%userprofile%\Documents\My Games\SubwaySim 2\Mods\YourName_YourMod\''.
-  * Copy the Lua scripts from your Lua folder inside this folder maintaing the same folder structure.
-  * The game will now use the Lua scripts from this folder if they exist, otherwise it falls back to the mod itself.
