"The Legend of Long Yin" Mod Framework

Dragon is the symbol of the emperor!

The Book of Dragons currently mainly provides two types of abilities:

• When the game loads the configuration table, export the game configuration table to facilitate analysis and secondary sorting.
• Without directly changing the game resources, make incremental patches to the CSV configuration table through the `ModsOfLong` directory.

Functions and functions

1. Configuration table export

After starting the game, the game configuration table will be exported to the directory:

```

\DataDump\Latest

```

2. Data Mod incremental patch

Mods will be automatically created in the game's `Mods` directory:

```

\Mods\ModsOfLong

```

In this directory, all folders starting with `mod` will be recognized as a data Mod.

How to use

Install Mod

premise:

• "The Legend of Long Yin" has been installed
• MelonLoader installed
• The built product has been placed in the game `Mods` directory, or directly used to compile and automatically copy using this project

After running successfully:

• `TheBookOfLong.dll` will be located in `\Mods`
• The export directory will appear in `\DataDump\Latest`
• The data Mod root directory will appear in `\Mods\ModsOfLong`

Write data Mod

Data Mod directory structure example:

```text

Mods

└─ ModsOfLong

└─ modMyFirstMod

├─ Info.json

└─ Data

├─ NameData.csv

└─ ItemData.csv

```

`Info.json` optional, example:

```json

{

"Name": "My first data Mod"

}

```

If there is no `Info.json`, the folder name minus the `mod` prefix will be used as the display name by default.

CSV Patch Rules

The patch file path should be consistent with the exported configuration name. For example, the exported result is:

```text

DataDump\Latest\GameData\NameData.csv

```

Then the patch file should be placed in:

```text

Mods\ModsOfLong\modMyFirstMod\Data\GameData\NameData.csv

```

Merge rules:

• The header of the first row must be exactly the same as the original table.
• The primary key column will give priority to identifying column names such as `id`, `ID`, `number`, `serial number`, and `plot number`.
• If the primary key is the same, the original row will be overwritten.
• If the primary key does not exist, add a new row.
• When there is no clear primary key, it will fall back to the more relaxed first column identification logic.

String ID rules

Since the game's data configuration ID is incremental, in order to make it easier for Mods to add content, a new method is added to use strings as ID placeholders.

```text

mod character A

mod new plot 001

modMyCustomNpc

```

Processing rules:

• String primary keys starting with `mod` are recognized as "symbol IDs".
• After all data Mods are read, they will be sorted by strings and uniformly mapped to new digital IDs.
• If the same symbolic ID appears in multiple tables, they will be mapped to the same numeric ID.
• If some tables w …
