This plugin is no longer supported or maintained, please see new Official GameMaker mod.io Extension.
Welcome to mod.io GameMaker Studio 2 Example Extension created by YellowAfterlife. It allows game developers to control the browsing and installation of mod files in their games. It uses a Haxe wrapper connected to the mod.io API, that currently supports GML/sys.threaded/js to make implementation easier. We have a test environment available which offers developers a private sandbox to try the GameMaker 2 Plugin out.
The demonstration file in this repository has small demos of getting user subscriptions/uploading mods/downloading mods. It is a very basic example and you will need to do additional work to get it running in your game.
It was originally made to power custom level support in Doodle Derby for Steam and Nintendo Switch.
You are welcome to play around and use our GameMaker Studio 2 Extension, however please note that the official, documented release will be completed in a few months, so you may need to do a bit of work to get this running in your game. Feedback is very welcome, and we are here to help get mods up and running in your game. Follow the steps below to get started with mod.io:
- Add your game to our test environment or production
- Read our API documentation for an overview of how mod.io works
