Introduction

Sometimes you might want to check the state of another mod, run some code from it and/or instruct another mod to perform a certain action. Reloaded-II provides a mechanism to do this.

How Does it Work?

Implemented using interfaces, the concept is that the mod loader acts as a middleman between mods (it's a DI container!). This middleman allows mods to communicate by passing implementations of interfaces between each other.

This may be illustrated by the following diagram:

Example

An example of an external mod communicating with the Universal File Redirector.

  • During initialization, Mod A (Redirector) publishes an interface to the Mod Loader.
  • During initialization, Mod B (Other Mod) asks the Mod Loader for the interface.

Communication with the Mod Loader is performed using the IModLoader interface, available at your mod's entry point.
