As of Patch 1.0.4 it is possible to create mods. However at the time of writing this is not yet officially supported. That's where this Wiki comes in.

Steps to start using Mods

First navigate to %LocalAppData%\Ara History Untold on your computer and open Settings_v121.txt. Scroll to the bottom and add EnableMods=1 to the end and save it.
Find the line with GameCoreMod0Source= and add the name of the mod after the '=' character.
Next create a new folder called Mods in the same folder you were just in.

Creating your own mods

Browse to the game's directory, for Steam users this is often C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ara History Untold. In the folder assets\SourceMods should be a zip file called GameDataSource_v1.0.4.zip containing .zdata files.
Exctact these somewhere and open them with your text editor of choice such as Notepad++ and set the language to C++ for easy reading.
After making the desired changes, place all the contents of the extracted zip file into %LocalAppData%\Ara History Untold\Mods\NAMEOFYOURMOD

oh, just be aware that some of the fields are dead - e.g. they were hooked up but then aren't anymore, we didn't have time to purge it. I'm sure the community will figure that out quick enough
