WDL Creating Mods

Watch Dogs: Legion ScriptHook 2.0 offers a built-in Mods Manager and Mod packer with compatibility to the game's archive file format ("Bigfiles"). On this page we will explain the process of creating new mods.

manifest.json

The manifest holds information about a Mod. It is used to display user-facing information in the Startup Menu.

	"description": "This is a description!",
	"author": "Nomad Group"

Bigfiles

The mods.dat/fat files are generated before the game launches, if a source folder exists.
