# Example pack

A tiny fixture, not content. It sits next to `core` and is **off until the player ticks it**.
Vanilla play does not change without that tick.

## Layout

```
example/
  pack.jsonc                 # version + requires: ["core"]
  localizations/{ru,en}.jsonc
  defs/traits/traits.jsonc   # two traits
  defs/namesets/example.jsonc
  defs/rooms/store.jsonc     # one placeable room
  defs/things/chair.jsonc    # last-wins: same defName as core
  patches/principals-office.jsonc
  README.md                  # this file
```

The pack name is the `example` key in the locale files, not a field in `pack.jsonc`.

## How to add something

1. New type: a JSONC file under `defs/<kind>/`. The folder chooses the kind (`traits`, `rooms`, …);
   the object needs a `defName`.
2. Label: the same `defName` (or the pack id) in both locale files. Missing keys load, but the UI
   shows the raw id and the loader warns.
3. Edit a core type without copying it: a file in `patches/` with `target` and `add` / `replace` /
   `remove`. Patches run after inheritance, in pack order.
4. Same `defName` as `core` (or an earlier pack): the later file wins and the log warns. That is
   what `defs/things/chair.jsonc` is for — a sample of last-wins, not a better chair.
5. Default map: only `maps/default.jsonc` replaces the layout, last file wins. This pack does not
   ship one, so a school with the pack still uses core's yard.

There is no `maps/` folder here on purpose. A layout that uses `ExampleStore` is a create-dialog
map, not a second default school.
