Usage

In this section youll learn how to use BTD Toolbox

Creating/Opening a project

To create a project, click File -> New -> Project from .jet Or alternatively, if you already have a project, File -> Open -> Existing project

Creating a mod

Now you should see a new "JetViewer" window. In here is where youll find all of the .json files for the game. You can use CTRL+F to search for folders in the JetViewer's treeview. Expand the project tree until you reach a file you need. Double click on any .json file in the file view to open the json editor. The json editor will check to make sure your json is valid. if your json is valid, youll see this:

Valid Json

otherwise, youll see this:

Invalid Json

Testing a mod

Awesome! You've changed the files and want to see the result, sweet! To test, ensure you only have ONE JetViewer window open. This window's project will be compiled for the testing. Now, simply click Launch on the main window's menu bar.

Launch Button

Your mod will be compiled into a .jet and the game will be launched with your mod. If you dont have a backup of your .jet, the program will save one in the Backups folder regardless if its a legitemate .jet or not.

Exporting a mod

Want to share your mod? Soon there will be a patch launcher for multi-mod support and easy mod installation, but until then, Click on "Save .jet" (CTRL+S) in the JetViewer window and then pick a spot to export the .jet Give out your modded .jet to whomever and have them place it into their game's files.
