Gentlemen's Map Kit

A loader for custom map packs in A Gentlemen's Dispute, built on the game's official mod loader. Install it together with a map pack such as Rooftop Greenhouse.

Everyone in the lobby needs the same version installed.

What it does

• Loads map packs (the official Workshop Tools format: mod.json + maps.json + a scene bundle) in the current game build, which cannot load them by itself yet. The maps join the normal map rotation.
• Adds the extras a pack asks for:
  • Breakable glass walls and roofs.
  • Shark water and rising tides.
  • Traps placed on the map.
  • The water-tank dunk: on maps that have one, falling off the edge sends you flying out of a water tank (with a splash) instead of the usual reset, and you are slowed for a few seconds.
• Cannons spawn on pack maps like on the game's own maps.

On its own the Map Kit adds nothing you can see: it needs at least one map pack.

Manual install

1. Close the game.
2. Download this package (Manual Download) and unzip it anywhere.
3. Open the game's folder: in Steam, right-click A Gentlemen's Dispute > Manage > Browse local files.
4. Open the Mods folder there (create it if it is missing).
5. Copy the GentlemensMapKit folder from the zip into Mods, so you end up with Mods\GentlemensMapKit\mod.json. Copy the whole folder, not just what is inside it; the other files in the zip (manifest.json, README.md, icon.png) are not needed.
6. Put the map packs in the same Mods folder: the Map Kit looks for packs in the folders next to its own.
7. Start the game. The mod is loaded automatically.

• Updating: delete the old Mods\GentlemensMapKit folder first, then copy in the new one.
• Uninstalling: delete Mods\GentlemensMapKit.

Don't edit or add files inside the mod folder: the game checks the mod's files, and a changed folder will not match other players in a lobby.

Notes

• Gameplay (glass breaking, the dunk) runs on the host; every player sees and hears it.
• Not everything has been tried with remote clients yet. Bug reports welcome: https://github.com/rgkable/GentlemensDisputeMods
