Can we use the mod to create a file in the game directory?

for example, use the mod to create new item(not crafting item) just inside game

Well, are you wanting to create a file within the game directory, or an item in the game? (Being two completely different concepts)

[benw]

oh i thought they are the same thing, i mean create a file first, and then writelines inside the created file without leaving the game

[Koregan]

Your mod would just give you the item

and the game itself would safe it in your inventory.

I don't think you can change the content of files from within mods, from within the game. But I'm still not sure why you'd need to?

Adding items to the game, as with almost any scripting engine, is just a function to call from within your Mod that would give the player, or whoever it was intended for, the item in the game.

Then when the game is saved, voila! The item is saved in whoever's inventory (unless it has been used/dumped somewhere in the game)

 

Does that make sense, with relation to whatever you're wanting to do?

If I understand you correctly you want to create a custom item in the game that doesn't use a fixed item-script?

 

It's been some time since I last looked into the items code but in theory it should be possible to create a base item and then change it via lua while being in the game.
