SCAN

Overview

SCAN is a structured mod management system for Spaceflight Simulator. It replaces manual file handling with an automated and deterministic installation pipeline.

All operations are based on structured metadata, ensuring consistency and eliminating user error.

Interface

The interface allows users to manage mods without interacting directly with game files.

Core System

SCAN reads JSON metadata and determines how mods should be installed. Each file is placed automatically in the correct directory.

• Automatic installation
• Consistent structure
• Error prevention

Mod Structure

ModName.zip
 ├── ModName.zip
 └── mod.json

This format ensures compatibility across all mods.

Pipeline

• GMJS → Create mods
• ModCenterSFS → Store mods
• SCAN → Install mods

Objective

SCAN aims to standardize mod distribution and eliminate installation errors.
