| + | ====== How to start ====== | ||
| + | Since 0.8.0 GemRB is much easier to mod, since some of it files can now be overriden via the game's override folder, so you can use the usual WeiDU workflow. Here is a table of the common paths. | ||
| + | |||
| + | | ^ files present ingame ^ moddable? ^ search order ^ | ||
| + | ^game/override | yes | weidu | 2 | | ||
| + | ^gemrb/override | yes | manual((requires write access to where gemrb is installed)) / weidu+ModPath | 1 | | ||
| + | ^gemrb/unhardcoded | no | weidu | 3 | | ||
