How to add files to modmain?

[Charsis]

I forget how to add files to modmain, anyone know? If I have file with changes to existing content like mychanges_rope.lua then how I import this file to modmain?

You don't "add files to modmain" (unless I've totally slept through a class). What exactly are you changing? Can I see your file?

If you've copied the original rope.lua and made changes to it, all you have to do is name it the same as the original file, and place it in the same folder structure as the game, but underneath your mod folder e.g. scripts\prefabs\rope.lua

But overwriting the original game files in your mod is seriously bad practice. You should do whatever you can to modify the game code using the appropriate tools given in the API e.g. AddPrefabPostInit.

@Ultroman yes modifying function part of something is what I am doing. So if I add the AddPrefabPostInit for rope in mychanges_rope.lua file then nothing will happen because file isn't executed by modmain or something like that and I need to import it in there. Know syntax how to do that?

Why not just put the code in modmain, then?

Anyway, I believe it's

modimport("mychanges_rope.lua")
