Adding new schemes programmatically

You may want to add schemes hard-coded inside the addon. These cannot be deleted in-game (but can be overwritten) and will be available for everyone in the server that it's installed.

Setting up the folder

Create a legacy addon folder (a folder inside the addons folder), then, create the required directories until you're left with lua/autorun/98hud/add-ons/.

Inside the newly created add-ons folder you'll have to add the scripts that will add content to the HUD.

Creating a new scheme

You can use the following function:

W98HUD:addTheme(id, name, data)

@param {string} internal identificator

@param {string} print name

@param {table} theme data
