AltAddonSystem

An Alternate addon system for SWBF (2004) and SWBFII (2005). Useful for the console versions of the games (but could be used on the PC files also).

Evolved from 'https://github.com/BAD-AL/SWBFII_Alt_Addon_System'

It is meant to be a 'Drop and Click' process (after initial setup).

Initial setup:

1. Place the 'addon' folder under the '_LVL_platform' (PS2|PSP|XBOX) folder for the game you want to mod.
2. Run the 'initial_setup_PS2.bat', 'initial_setup_PSP.bat' or 'initial_setup_XBOX.bat' file.
3. Move the 'initial_setup_'.bat' files to the 'addon\bin\' folder (to de-clutter the 'addon' folder).

Adding a mod:

1. Drop the mod in the addon folder (a folder from '001' - '999' )
2. Double-Click the 'click_to_merge.bat' program (in the addon folder )
3. Deploy to device (if necessary)
