These are the content packs i used to test the system, you can see it in the video. have a look at the .dats and how the swaps are set up

 

[DracoHouston]

content packs sit in a folder in content called contentpacks, all packs are installed there, no where else

to enable a pack you have to open your /pokemon/saves/options.dat which as of tuesday will look like this

Volume|50
Muted|0
RenderDistance|2
ShowDebug|0
ShowGUI|1
GraphicStyle|1
Language|en
ContentPacks|

there are 2 new lines here, one is to change language in the localization system. the other is the one we wanna edit

to enable both these example packs you change it to

ContentPacks|testpack,GoldUI

pack names are the same as the folder they live in inside /content/contentpacks/ in this case 'testpack' and 'GoldUI'

the order you put these names in matters! this system has load ordering, if you use multiple packs and more than 1 wants to replace an asset, the one of those that loads last will win and the game will use that one. this means all packs should play along and interesting combinations should be possible

i'm really excited about what may come of this system. please, surprise me. i'll be downloading all the content packs and having a look.
