For mod developers, it may be beneficial to enable DevTools within the Steam client. This can be achieved by following the process detailed below. This is a one off operation and does not need to be repeated, that is unless the Steam client is uninstalled or reinstalled.
- Download Melvor Idle on Steam, and find the installation folder. e.g.
[...]/steamapps/common/Melvor Idle
- Not sure where it's installed? Go to Melvor Idle in your Steam library, right click, and go to
Manage
→ Browse local files
.
- Download the NW.js SDK (Windows: v0.54.0; other OS: v0.49.2). The version might change in the future, but you need the specific one listed.
- Extract all zipped files.
- Place the contents of the
nwjs-sdk*
folder in the Melvor Idle installation folder.
- The current contents of the
nwjs-sdk-v0.54.0-win-x64
folder has 22 total items. Moving this to the Melvor Idle folder will overwrite over 100 existing files.
- If it didn't ask you to overwrite any files then you did something wrong.
- Place the
icons
, styles
, and source directories (i.e. scripts
or sources
) of the extracted extensions in the Melvor Idle installation folder.
