GameInfo

PlaceholderMod, like Source Engine mods, includes a gameinfo.txt file in its root Game directory. During development you may need to access the contents stored in the gameinfo.txt file through the C# API.

Accessing GameInfo.txt

The game's gameinfo.txt can be accessed through the GameInfo class. Since gameinfo.txt uses the KeyValues format, the class provides standard functions for collecting data from KeyValues, along with gameinfo-specific functions.

Game Specific Data

GetGameName()	Game Name/Title.	Defined in the game KeyValue
GetSteamAppID()	Steam App ID of the Mounted Game.	Defined in the SteamAppId KeyValue
