Each mod will take its name from the folder it is in. However, you can customize the '''Name''', '''Description''' and '''Author''' of your mod by adding a meta.tyd file to the root of your mod's folder, containing the specified records. This will file will be created automatically when you edit your mod in-game (Not implemented yet as of Alpha 11.4.7).

== Localizations ==

== Localizations ==

All mods can have their own custom localizations defined, to make it easier to translate, or support multiple languages out of the box. Simply add a '''Localization''' folder to the root of your mod's folder, and then put a folder with the name of each language you want to translate to, which should at minimum contain '''English'''. Translations are just a list of [[TyD|TyD]] records, however software types and features are a little more complex, and you should follow the layout in the '''Software.Tyd''' file in the main English localization folder. Your translations will be loaded and used based on the name of the language the player is currently using.

If you want to dive even further, you can put .cs directly with the game, and it will compile and load your scripts on startup. For more control you can compile your own DLL files for the game to load.

To create a localization you can copy the English folder from the Localization folder and fill in your own text in the appropriate fields. Again, localization files are written entirely in [[TyD|TyD]], to be easily human readable.
