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.

Settings

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.

API

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.
