Build ModPack JSON for Distribution

To build a JSON file capable of addition to the required section of the distribution.json, use the following command.

> node mods

This will output a JSON file, that you can then add to your distribution including MD5, size and location.

This is WIP and will eventually generate the entire distribution.json object.

Visual Studio Code

All development of the launcher should be done using Visual Studio Code.

Paste the following into .vscode/launch.json

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Debug Main Process",
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
      "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron",
      "windows": {
        "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron.cmd"
      },
      "args": ["."],
      "console": "integratedTerminal",
      "protocol": "inspector"
    },
    {
      "name": "Debug Renderer Process",
      "type": "chrome",
      "request": "launch",
      "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron",
      "windows": {
        "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron.cmd"
      },
      "runtimeArgs": [
        "${workspaceRoot}/.",
        "--remote-debugging-port=9222"
      ],
      "webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}"
    }
  ]
}

This adds two debug configurations.

Debug Main Process

This allows you to debug Electron's main process. You can debug scripts in the renderer process by opening the DevTools Window.

Debug Renderer Process

This allows you to debug Electron's renderer process. This requires you to install the Debugger for Chrome extension.

Note that you cannot open the DevTools window while using this debug configuration. Chromium only allows one debugger, opening another will crash the program.
