AMP Templates

For the AMP community to share Generic Module templates.

Making generic module templates

See the wiki article for the module: https://github.com/CubeCoders/AMP/wiki/Configuring-the-'Generic'-AMP-module

You can also use the online configurator at https://config.getamp.sh/ to help with building templates.

*There is a much more robust version of the online configuration tool that is still in beta. This should provide much better results than the above even so. If you have any feedback, please contact IceOfWraith in the CubeCoders Discord.

Sharing Templates

Right now the following restrictions apply to templates that may be publicly shared via this repository (some of these will be relaxed over time):

  • The application must not require any login/authentication in order to download (except for SteamCMD logins).
  • If the application does not have a Linux version you should add a Proton download via SteamCMD to support it if possible.
  • Applications that have customizable settings must use a Settings Manifest.
  • Only applications that expose some kind of Console that AMP is able to pick up.
  • Do not invoke any shell scripts/batch files. You must only launch actual executables.

To share a template

Create a pull request containing the following files in the top-level directory of the repository:

*APPLICATIONAME*.kvp
*APPLICATIONAME*config.json
*APPLICATIONAME*metaconfig.json (Optional)

With the names fully lower-cased.

For example, valheim.kvp, valheimconfig.json, valheimmetaconfig.json

Do not use any directories and include no-other files.

If you are only submitting a draft, make sure to append (draft) to the pull request title.

Editing templates

If you believe that a template needs either updating or changes made, please submit a pull request for that template with a justification for why that change is needed. If possible try and contact the original author first.

After submitting a template

Once you've submitted a pull request, your configuration will be tested in its as-is state by an automated tool. It will:

  • Load the configuration
  • Attempt to perform an update
  • Attempt to start the application
  • Verify that the application reaches the 'Ready' state.
  • Attempt to stop the application
  • Verify that the application reaches the 'Stopped' state.

You should ensure that your configuration can do this on both Windows and Linux before submitting your configuration.
