I have tried to search for documentation that explains the different properties and their definitions in a metadata file but I haven't had any luck.
Can someone point me to some documentation?
-
id = mod's unique ID (required)
name = mod's short name
description = mod's full description
version = mod's version
author = mod's author(s)
master = ID of the parent mod, for example xcom1, xcom2, etc. You can use "*" to say it can be used with any parent mod
isMaster = whether this mod is a mod without a parent mod, true or false
reservedSpace = how much space do you need for image indices in image sets, default 1 = indices 0 to 999; 2 = 0 to 1999, 3 = 0 to 2999, etc.
requiredExtendedVersion = number of the minimum required OXCE version required by this mod
loadResources = original 1994/1995 resources to be loaded by this mod (either UFO or TFTD)
resourceConfig = filename of an additional config file that you will probably never need... unless you plan to mod "soundDefs" or "transparencyLUTs"

Thank you!

Can you have a mod have multiple master mods? Such as a mod that specificially targets UFO and TFTD, but not conversions - or one that targets UFO or TFTD plus certain total conversions that still use their assets, such as X-Chronicles?
