Configuring mods

This guide will tell you how to configure installed mods.

Editing the config file

Select a configurable mod from your Mods folder and go into it.
In the folder of that mod you should see a folder named Scripts, open it. You should see a config.lua file if you selected a configurable mod.
Open the config.lua file using notepad.

NOTE

To enable file extensions go to View > Show > File name extensions (Windows 11)

TIP

On Windows 11 you should see an Edit in Notepad option after right-clicking. You can click it to make the process easier.

Right-click the config.lua file and select the option Open with.
If you see notepad click it

Select notepad on the list, if it doesn't appear select the Choose an app on your PC.
Go to the path C:\Windows\System32\ and select notepad.exe there.

After you've opened the config.lua file, you should see something like this:

local config = {
    -- Amount of cash to add when keybind is pressed
    add_cash_amount = 36.34,
    -- Key that needs to be pressed with the modifier keys to trigger the money addition
    key = Key.F1,
    -- Modifier keys that need to be pressed with the key to trigger the money addition
    modifier_keys = { ModifierKey.CONTROL }
}
return config

I'm using the config of MoneyAdder as an example. Config highly depends on the mod you're using

Look for double dashes (--). Text after double dashes should explain what changing the config option does. In this example I want to change the amount of cash added to 107.38, the key to caps lock and no modifier keys. To do that I changed:

local config = {
    -- Amount of cash to add when keybind is pressed
    add_cash_amount = 36.34, 
    add_cash_amount = 107.38, 
    -- Key that needs to be pressed with the modifier keys to trigger the money addition
    key = Key.F1, 
    key = Key.CAPS_LOCK, 
    -- Modifier keys that need to be pressed with the key to trigger the money addition
    modifier_keys = { ModifierKey.CONTROL } 
    modifier_keys = {} 
}
return config

To save, press Ctrl+S in notepad, and you can now close it.

TIP

modifier_keys is kind of a list in this example, you can store any amount of elements in a list. If you would want to press all modifier keys at once to trigger the event you would type:

modifier_keys = { ModifierKey.CONTROL, ModifierKey.ALT, ModifierKey.SHIFT }

You can reload mods and configs without reopening the game. The hot reloading guide is here
