PACKAGE_DESC.txt

Package information.

PACKAGE_DESC.txt is a configuration file that should be included at the top directory of a dialog context. It sets some contents-dependent properties.

A simple example of PACKAGE_DESC.txt is as follows. It specifies that content will be displayed on menu with “My Contents” as text label and “banner.png” as its image. The full text written in README.txt in the content will be displayed at the first time (and after-update) launch of this content. A file start.mdf will be launched by MMDAgent-EX on startup. Additionaly, since readmeForceAgreement=true is specified, users are asked to press either “Accept” or “Decline” when the document is displayed at start up, and can play this content only if “Accept” is pressed.

label=My Contents
image=banner.png
execMDFFile=start.mdf
readme=README.txt
readmeForceAgreement=true

Common options

These settings are valid for all types of dialogue content. (local, mmda and web)

label=string

Text label of this content to be displayed at the contents menu and history. If not specified, the package file name will be applied instead. If set to blank (just label= only), no label will be displayed on the menu.
