Tutorial:Navigating PMDO's Repository

The repository for PMDO, PMDODump, consists of several different modules and sub-repositories that contain different pieces of the game and its engine. Knowing where different parts of the game can be found is important for the purposes of modding.

This tutorial contains some information on what pieces of the engine can be found where, and what parts of the overall repository to navigate in order to find how the code works.

PMDODump

PMDODump is the master repository for PMDO. It is used to build the game and include all of the information relevant to it.

It has the following folders:

• DataAsset: Contains generated output showing some of PMDO's data.
• DataGenerator: These files are used to generate some of the data that PMDO has.
• PMDOSetup:: Files related to initializing the PMDOSetup program, which is used to manage the install of the game.
• Scripts: Python script for automating some development processes.
