Overview

LANCommander Package Scripts are PowerShell scripts that run on a recurring schedule to automate the creation of game archives.

Each script is responsible for:

• Locating or generating the files that need to be packaged.
• Preparing a directory that contains all files for the new version.
• Emitting a PowerShell object describing the package output.

LANCommander ingests the object returned by the script, compresses the directory into an archive, and tags it using the version provided. If a script does not return an object, LANCommander assumes that no new package is required.

Required Output Format

Each script must return a PowerShell object with the following properties:

Property	Type	Description
Path	string	Full path to a directory containing all files to be archived.
Version	string	Version identifier used to tag the generated archive.
Changelog	string	Description of what changed in the new version.

Important Behavior

• Path must be a directory, not a file. Everything under that directory will be compressed automatically.
• Version must be a meaningful unique identifier (e.g., 1.0.0, 2.5.4-beta1, 2026.01.14).
• Changelog may be multiline text and will be stored with the packaged archive.

Scripts must return this object, not write it to a file or log.

    Path      = "C:\Packages\MyGame\1.0.0"
