Syntax

mod-tools export <src_mod_dir> <dst_archive> [--game:<path>] [--noTFT]

​
Arguments

​
src_mod_dir
string
required
Source mod folder (must contain META/info.json).
​
dst_archive
string
required
Output archive path (e.g., MyMod.zip or MyMod.fantome).

​
Flags

​
--game
string
Path to the game folder. Optimize using rebase against the game before zipping.
​
--noTFT
boolean
Exclude TFT assets when indexing the game.

​
Behavior

The export command performs the following operations:
  1. Internally runs the same optimization as the copy command
  2. Zips the optimized result to <dst_archive>

​
Optimization Process

  • Resolves internal conflicts
  • Normalizes WAD structure
  • If --game is provided, rebases against game files to reduce size
  • Copies metadata files

​
Archive Formats

Supported archive extensions:
  • .zip - Standard ZIP archive
  • .fantome - League of Legends mod archive format

​
Examples

​
Export with game optimization

mod-tools export ./MyMod ./MyMod.zip --game:/games/LoL
This command:
  • Optimizes MyMod by rebasing against the game
  • Strips unmodified entries
  • Creates MyMod.zip archive with optimized content

​
Export to Fantome format

mod-tools export ./MyMod ./MyMod.fantome --noTFT
This command:
  • Optimizes MyMod without game rebasing
  • Excludes TFT assets during processing
  • Creates MyMod.fantome archive

​
Export without optimization

mod-tools export ./MyMod ./MyMod-raw.zip
This command:
  • Exports MyMod with minimal optimization
  • No game rebasing or TFT filtering
  • Creates a basic archive of the mod

​
Use Cases

  • Mod distribution: Package mods for sharing with other players
  • Size optimization: Create smaller archives by removing unmodified files
  • Format conversion: Convert between ZIP and Fantome formats
  • Backup creation: Archive mods for safekeeping
  • Release preparation: Create final, optimized versions for release
