Extension fails to enable (made for Resident Evil remaster)

[Pawper]

Hi,

 

Had a go at creating an extension for the Resident Evil remaster. Unfortunately, it's failing to enable. I was following https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Creating_a_game_extension_for_Vortex

 

If you could please provide any insight, I would appreciate it! I'm not super experienced with Javascript (yet).

//Add this to the top of the file

const winapi = require('winapi-bindings');

function findGame() {

try {

const instPath = winapi.RegGetValue(

'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',

'SOFTWARE\\WOW6432Node\\GOG.com\\Games\\' + GOGAPP_ID,

'PATH');

if (!instPath) {

throw new Error('empty registry key');

}

return Promise.resolve(instPath.value);

} catch (err) {

return util.GameStoreHelper.findByAppId([STEAMAPP_ID, GOGAPP_ID])

.then(game => game.gamePath);

}

}

// Nexus Mods domain for the game. e.g. nexusmods.com/residentevilbiohazardhdremaster

const GAME_ID = 'residentevilbiohazardhdremaster';

//Steam Application ID, you can get this from https://steamdb.info/apps/

const STEAMAPP_ID = '304240';

//Import some assets from Vortex we'll need.

const path = require('path');

const { fs, log, util } = require('vortex-api');

function main(context) {

//This is the main function Vortex will run when detecting the game extension.

context.registerGame({

id: GAME_ID,

name: 'Resident Evil biohazard HD REMASTER',

mergeMods: true,

queryPath: findGame,

queryModPath: () => '.',

logo: 'gameart.jpg',

executable: () => 'bhd.exe',

],

setup: prepareForModding,

environment: {

SteamAPPId: STEAMAPP_ID,

},

details: {

steamAppId: STEAMAPP_ID,

gogAppId: GOGAPP_ID,

},

});

return true

}

module.exports = {

default: main,

};

Hey,

 

It's not a bad first effort, so here's a tip.

 

If your extension fails to load, you can go to extensions tab to find out why. With the current code it looks like this:

 

 

While you can't see the entire message. It's saying "prepareForModding" is not a function. Which is correct.

 

So you need to do the following:

• Remove the line "setup: prepareForModding," as you have not set a prepareForModding function.
• Remove the line "gogAppId: GOGAPP_ID," as you have not set a GOG App ID.

 

After that, the extension should load.

 

Hope this helps.
