For mod authors: API
FFModSettingsManager exposes a simple API so your mod can enhance how settings appear. This is optional and does not require a hard dependency. Call these from OnInitializeMelon().
Hard dependency (FFModSettingsManager.dll referenced)
// Suggested value (adds a ‘Suggest’ button) FFModSettingsManager.FFModSettingsManagerAPI.RegisterRecommended( ‘MyCategory’, ‘MyEntry’, 42, ‘Recommended for most players’); // Valid range (replaces text input with a slider) FFModSettingsManager.FFModSettingsManagerAPI.RegisterRange(‘MyCategory’, ‘MyIntEntry’, 0f, 77f); // Dependent setting (grayed out while MyEnableToggle is false) FFModSettingsManager.FFModSettingsManagerAPI.RegisterDependency( ‘MyCategory’, ‘MySubSetting’, ‘MyCategory’, ‘MyEnableToggle’); // Tab-level visibility (whole tab hides when MyEnableToggle is false) FFModSettingsManager.FFModSettingsManagerAPI.RegisterTabVisibilityDependency( ‘MySubCategory’, ‘MyCategory’, ‘MyEnableToggle’); // Section divider above a named entry (works with search filtering) FFModSettingsManager.FFModSettingsManagerAPI.RegisterSectionHeader( ‘MyCategory’, ‘MyFirstEntryInSection’, ‘Section Title’); // Thin separator line (no label) above a named entry, more subtle than a section header FFModSettingsManager.FFModSettingsManagerAPI.RegisterSeparator( ‘MyCategory’, ‘MyFirstEntryInSection’); // Tab description (shown above entries) FFModSettingsManager.FFModSettingsManagerAPI.RegisterCategoryDescription( ‘MyCategory’, ‘Short description of what this mod does.’); // Enable All button in the tab footer (call once per bool entry to include) FFModSettingsManager.FFModSettingsManagerAPI.RegisterEnableAllEntry(‘MyCategory’, ‘MyToggle’); // Live info panel below the entry list (delegate called each frame) FFModSettingsManager.FFModSettingsManagerAPI.RegisterCategoryInfoPanel( ‘MyCategory’, () => $’Current state: {someValue}’); // First-run auto-open FFModSettingsManager.FFModSettingsManagerAPI.RegisterFirstRunCategory(‘MyCategory’);
Soft dependency (safe if FFModSettingsManager is not installed)
var api = System.Type.GetType(‘FFModSettingsManager.FFModSettingsManagerAPI, FFModSettingsManager’); api?.GetMethod(‘RegisterRecommended’) ?.Invoke(null, new object[] { ‘MyCategory’, ‘MyEntry’, 42, ‘Recommended for most players’ }); api?.GetMethod(‘RegisterRange’) ?.Invoke(null, new object[] { ‘MyCategory’, ‘MyIntEntry’, 0f, 77f }); api?.GetMethod(‘RegisterDependency’) ?.Invoke(null, new object[] { ‘MyCategory’, ‘MySubSetting’, ‘MyCategory’, ‘MyEnableToggle’ }); api?.GetMethod(‘RegisterTabVisibilityDependency’) ?.Invoke(null, new object[] { ‘MySubCategory’, ‘MyCategory’, ‘MyEnableToggle’ }); api?.GetMethod(‘RegisterSectionHeader’) ?.Invoke(null, new object[] { ‘MyCategory’, ‘MyFirstEntryInSection’, ‘Section Title’ }); api?.GetMethod(‘RegisterSeparator’) ?.Invoke(null, new object[] { ‘MyCategory’, ‘MyFirstEntryInSection’ }); api?.GetMethod(‘RegisterCategoryDescription’) ?.Invoke(null, new object[] { ‘MyCategory’, ‘Short description of what this mod does.’ }); api?.GetMethod(‘RegisterEnableAllEntry’) ?.Invoke(null, new object[] { ‘MyCategory’, ‘MyToggle’ }); api?.GetMethod(‘RegisterCategoryInfoPanel’) ?.Invoke(null, new object[] { ‘MyCategory’, (System.Func<string>)(() => ‘live summary text’) }); api?.GetMethod(‘RegisterFirstRunCategory’) ?.Invoke(null, new object[] { ‘MyCategory’ });
Comparison with Melon Preference Manager
MelonPreferencesManager is a general-purpose tool for any MelonLoader game. This mod is built specifically for Farthest Frontier and styled to match its theme instead of a generic UI. It adds new features like auto-save, auto-open, reset all, suggest, accessibility settings, etc.
