Content Creation

Audience: Map, model, and skin makers - semi-technical, no coding required · Prereqs: Getting Started

This section is for making content for LegacyShell - maps, 3D models, item skins, sounds - without writing any JavaScript. If you end up wanting that content to unlock new gameplay behavior (not just cosmetics), you'll eventually cross into Plugin Development, but everything here stands alone first.

What's here

  • Maps - the in-game map editor, the underlying JSON format, adding a map to the pool.
  • Dealing with Babylon models - the existing, thorough guide to .babylon files, Blender export, and common export errors. (Already written - not part of this doc effort, just relocated here.)
  • Map blocks - adding new collidable blocks via map.babylon, and exactly how each collider type actually generates its collision.
  • Items and skins - the item definition shape, IDs, offsets, pricing.
  • Hats and stamps - how the stamp spritesheet is generated and UV-mapped onto models.
  • Sounds - the Apollo/Howler audio layer, adding new sounds.
  • Gamemodes - gameOptions, per-team modifiers, timed rounds (config-level, not code-level).
  • Seasonal events - the date-range event scheduler and its shop pools.
