Once you understand the file structure of the main addon, making an extension is simple.

The gloader that already exists in the main repository will load your addon automatically.

Just specify the files as if you were working in the main repository, e.g.:

• Entity logic still goes under lua/acf/entities
• Materials still go under materials/
• Models still go under models/

Your addon should have a globals file at lua/acf/core/<addon name>_globals.lua with the following snippet:

do -- Update checker
    hook.Add("ACF_OnLoadAddon", "ACF Comedic Update Checker", function()
        -- USE YOUR ORG NAME AND ADDON NAME INSTEAD.
        ACF.AddRepository("ACF-Team", "ACF-3-Comedic")
        hook.Remove("ACF_OnLoadAddon", "ACF Comedic Update Checker")
    end)
end

Here are some examples of ACF-3 extensions:
