For mod developers, it may be beneficial to enable DevTools within the Steam or Epic 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 or Epic client is uninstalled or reinstalled.
Enabling DevTools for Steam
- 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: v0.71.1; 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-v0.71.1-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.
Enabling DevTools for Epic
- Download Melvor Idle on Epic, and find the installation folder. e.g.
[...]/Program Files/Epic Games/MelvorIdleXLcGb
- Not sure where it's installed? Open the Epic Launcher and navigate to the Library then right click Melvor Idle and 'Manage'. Click the folder icon in Installation.
- Open package.nw and then package.json. Inside package.json, remove
--devtools-flags=disable from "chromium-args": and save the changes.
