Building A Sideop - Adding the Sideop To The Game

Once the Setup and Details Pages are completed, the user is ready to test the sideop in-game. Changes to the Scripting Page is entirely optional; the default scripts are all that the sideop requires, as far as Step 3 is concerned. It is recommended that the user save the sideop to an Xml file prior to closing SOC.

  1. Click the "Build" button on the Details Page to create a "Sideop_Build" folder which contains the mod files, ready to be packed for Makebite.
  2. Open Makebite, and click the ellipses button in the top-right corner.
  3. Navigate to the Sideop_Build folder and select it, then Click "Select Folder".
  • If the folder was selected properly, a number of filepaths should appear in the Makebite Mod Files. The filepaths should begin with /Assets/ (except one, which begins with /GameDir/).
  1. Fill out the Makebite Mod Information.
  2. Click the "Do it (build archive)" button in the bottom-right corner and name the file.
  • This will build the .MGSV file, which can be installed via SnakeBite.
  1. Install the sideop .mgsv file, as well as Infinite Heaven if it isn't already installed.
  2. Start the game and open the Infinite Heaven ACC Main menu.
  3. In the ACC menu, open "10:Side ops menu" and in that menu, find "2:Open Specific Sideop".
  • By default, the number begins with 0. The user can loop to the last Sideop on the list by dropping below 0.
  1. Select the new sideop.
  • Without any other sideops installed, the new sideop should be #162 or #161.

The user can now test the sideop and make adjustments as necessary by loading the sideop's xml file back into SOC.

Saving And Loading Sideops With SOC

SOC can save sideops to an xml file, and also load the sideop xml file at any point during the sideop's creation process.

  • To save a sideop, click the "Save To Xml..." button at the bottom-left corner of the application. Name the Xml and click Save.
  • To load a sideop, click the "Load From Xml.." button at the Bottom-left corner. Select the Xml and click Open.
    • Six example sideops are included by defaul with SOC. The user can load these examples from the Example Sideops folder, inside Helpful User Resources. Each example can be built and tested ingame, to help the user better understand SOC and it's capabilities.
