[VC|ASI] MVLinker

15 Set 2021, 10:14

Hey guys. Another ASI mod, this time for VC.

MVLinker

Description:
This ASI plugin helps MVL vehicles and weapons be loaded through organized folders rather than dropping their archives in the MVL directory. It does this by hard-linking these files from the directory of the MVLinker ASI to the MVL directory before MVL loads its vehicles and weapons and then instantly deleting those same files after MVL has loaded these hard-linked files.
This mod does nothing by itself; it must be combined with other mods to work!

Features:

Install MVL vehicles and weapons through Mod Loader! Includes: profiles, ignored mods, exclusive mods, etc.: All the facilities of an ASI file in Mod Loader.
Works with the Steam version.

Download:

Usage:
Here is a step-by-step exemplary scenario of using this plugin:

Put the MVLinker ASI and MVLinker folder inside any folder inside Mod Loader so that the ASI can be loaded as a regular mod. If Mod Loader is not installed, e.g., using the Steam version, then put both the MVLinker ASI and MVLinker folder inside the game directory.
Rename the MVLinker ASI and MVLinker folder to something unique. Both the MVLinker ASI and MVLinker folder must have the same name!
Optional: Download any vehicle (link for convenience) and put its archive inside the vehicles folder inside the MVLinker folder.
Optional: Download any weapon (link for convenience) and put its archive inside the weapons folder inside the MVLinker folder.
Now these vehicles and weapons can be installed using a folder inside Mod Loader or by putting the ASI and folder inside the game directory.
Optional: Compress the MVLinker ASI and MVLinker folder and distribute it as a mod, but only if you have permission from the author(s) of the vehicles and weapons!
