[QUE] Changing properties of pre-defined consoles

Game Dev Tycoon modding
#1

Hey guys,
I would like to make a mod that adds the Gameling Colour (Gameboy Color) and Gameling Improved (Gameboy Advance). Because of that I have to change the market retire date of the “original” Gameling. Is that possible?

I don’t think that is possible with the current version of the Modding API.

Can you tell me how I even change reitredates and incoming date? I see them but the dates just don’t make sense to me! 1/3/4 What’s that? I don’t get it.

Year 1, Month 3, Week 4

#5

Right! I thought it was like Week 1, Month 3, Year 4… that’s why it didn’t make sense to me. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

There some more info on how Dates work on the wiki:

Regarding your initial question, yes, you can change the existing platforms too.

To change the Gameling you would have to do something like this:

var gameling = Platforms.allPlatforms.first(function(p){return p.id == 'Gameling';});
if (gameling){
	gameling.platformRetireDate = '';//set to custom date.
}
