Custom Asset Importing

At some point you may want to import a new model, texture, sound, etc.

This can be done one of two ways - manually via scripting, or by using the built in mod asset importer feature. I suggest the latter, unless you want to do something funky.

Asset Manifest

Every mod can have an asset manifest file defined. This lists out all assets you want to import.

Supported Importers

SimpleModel: Imports a GLTF file as a gameobject. You can define a built in material to use, and it will automatically apply said material + hook up included textures.

Texture: Imports a .png or .jpeg as a Texture2D

AudioClip: Imports a .mp3, .wav, or .ogg as an ArdenAudioClip

Custom Importers

Mods can define their own importers. Perhaps you built a tool that can easily create item data assets from a json file. You can register your own importer to read this file, and then you can easily import them as assets! Other mods can also rely on other's importers.
