Sound Pack Mods
You can now create Sound Packs for MateEngine using the MateSDK on GitHub.
Basic Unity knowledge is enough to get started. Open the MateEngine project and locate the "VOICE_PACK_MOD_EXAMPLE" object.
Add your custom sounds, then export your mod file. You can import it into the Mod Menu or publish it directly on Steam Workshop.
When exporting, select Mod Type: “Sound”.
This feature lets you replace every sound in MateEngine with your own.
Supported formats: .ogg, .mp3, .wav
(Recommended: .ogg or .wav)
Dance Mods
You can now create custom Dance Mods for the Dance Player.
With basic Unity knowledge, you can create or convert existing VMD (MMD dances) into .ME (MateEngine Dance Mods).
