Sublime Unpacked Packages Override

To override Sublime Text unpacked packages every Sublime Text start. You can also call the command OverrideUnpackedPackages: Now on the command palette.

To select the file to override, just creates them on the folder Packages/User/OverrideUnpackedPackages following the packages file structure. For example, if you want to override the file:

1. Packages/amxmodx/Main.sublime-menu

You need to create the replacement file on the folder:

1. Packages/User/OverrideUnpackedPackages/amxmodx/Main.sublime-menu

Then run the command OverrideUnpackedPackages Now on the command palette or just restart Sublime Text.

To allow you override default menu as files .sublime-menu, you will need to rename the files you put on the folder OverrideUnpackedPackages to .sublime-menu.hide. This way Sublime Text will not double load your menus.

When the OverrideUnpackedPackages will perform the override, it will rename them back to their original names as the .sublime-menu mentioned just above.

Other packages can import OverrideUnpackedPackages and add files to be copied and overridden. This is a simple example:

import os

try:
    from OverrideUnpackedPackages.override_unpacked_packages import add_folder_to_processing_queue

except ImportError as error:
    print( "Error: Could not import the package `OverrideUnpackedPackages`, please install the package. " + str( error ) )

    def add_folder_to_processing_queue(*args):
        print( "add_folder_to_processing_queue could not add the following arguments..." )

        for arg in args:
            print( str( arg ) )

PACKAGE_ROOT_DIRECTORY = os.path.dirname( os.path.realpath( __file__ ) )


def plugin_loaded() :
    add_files_to_copy_list()

def add_files_to_copy_list():
    add_folder_to_processing_queue( PACKAGE_ROOT_DIRECTORY, "amxmodx", 100 )

This some code also works when the package is inside a .sublime-package file. This is automatically detected by OverrideUnpackedPackages when the PACKAGE_ROOT_DIRECTORY is set to the folder .sublime-package. Therefore the file is unzipped, instead of just copied.

1. Download & Install Sublime Text 3 (https://www.sublimetext.com/3)
2. Go to the menu Tools -> Install Package Control, then, wait few seconds until the installation finishes up
3. Now, Go to the menu Preferences -> Package Control
4. Type Add Channel on the opened quick panel and press Enter
5. Then, input the following address and press Enter

   https://raw.githubusercontent.com/evandrocoan/StudioChannel/master/channel.json
   

6. Go to the menu Tools -> Command Palette... (Ctrl+Shift+P)
7. Type Preferences: Package Control Settings – User on the opened quick panel and press Enter
8. Then, find the following setting on your Package Control.sublime-settings file:

   "channels":
   [
       "https://packagecontrol.io/channel_v3.json",
       "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/evandrocoan/StudioChannel/master/channel.json",
   ],

9. And, change it to the following, i.e., put the https://raw.githubusercontent... line as first:

   "channels":
   [
       "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/evandrocoan/StudioChannel/master/channel.json",
       "https://packagecontrol.io/channel_v3.json",
   ],

   • The https://raw.githubusercontent... line must to be added before the https://packagecontrol.io... one, otherwise, you will not install this forked version of the package, but the original available on the Package Control default channel https://packagecontrol.io...

   [!WARNING] Placing this custom channel before the default channel changes Package Control's resolution globally. Packages from this channel with the same name will override versions from the default channel.

   You can review the channel contents here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/evandrocoan/StudioChannel/master/channel.json
