Alright, found another blatantly obvious crash bug...

For some reason I only find bugs like these after I release something, and that's despite having run successful test several times.

Anyways, the current version is pretty much unusable. Due to a misplaced variable. Why do I always get lucky with such schroedinbugs? Updated version coming up.

Please check your post box Sean.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Ah. Thanks. They'll be 'right' in the next pack update.

I'm all for this tbh, as I mentioned earlier on in this thread I thought something like this was needed by the community. I've still yet to get back into vb myself to take a look at doing these things. I'd like to see it catching on and becoming the norm Hopefully I can provide a tad more input further down the road, I'm also yet to use the app I must admit. I'm waiting for the next version of df to come out to really get back into it all (Been playing other games would you believe )

[Benny]

zomg a bit off topic but is this thread all backwards?

edit: Realised the error of my ways, it was a setting in profile settings. Panic over ^_^

Looks like a good utility!

A few people who have played my mod have mentioned they played without my custom entities, with modbase it will be easier for people to pick and choose what they want. 

[Sean Mirrsen]

Indeed it will. I'm now working on a few more features, like mod dependency tags (so a mod will notify the user if it's in front of a mod it's supposed to base on, or if that mod is entirely missing) and remembering the state and order of mods you last selected.

If you have any ideas for modder-side or user-side features the prog could have, don't hesitate to post. I could use inspiration.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Alright, mod dependency is implemented via a [REQUIRES:] tag in the mod descriptor. Put the exact name of the needed mod in that tag. You can have as many REQUIRES tags as you require.

Also, the program will now remember the last mod setup you saved, and will load it exactly the same way. New mods added to the fray will, or should, be added fully active, and at the bottom of the list.

Now I can start figuring out the graphics sets, and maybe that issue with bodyglosses...

edit: just to clarify, I have not updated the version yet. The latest is still 0.6b

[commondragon]

If anyone wants current mods to be made compatible with mod base, please tell me so I can make it compatible.

also, you might want to consider splitting out anything with things that would be popularly modded in, such as dragon types and such, to different components in your mods.  This would prevent people from having three different variations for phoenixes because of different people's mods not having it split up so you can un-check them.

Blah.
EDIT: Language_words editing is broken.  Hard.
If you add anything to a custom one, whether it have a copy of the original in it or not, only the additions will be left in your compiled version.
VERY painful.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Laguage_words is a special file that has to be the only one so named. I might have screwed something up in checking for available files when compiling, I'll look into it.

Some kind of error when trying to !!!Activate!!! DF original

EDIT:  Never mind, I've got .4a instead .6b!

[Sean Mirrsen]

Hm. Odd. Alright, I'll keep testing. Never got that on clean original...

[Nonanonymous]

Erm, are you sure you want to bother with that?  It is from an older release, isn't it?  And 0.6b worked just fine when I downloaded it.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I replied before you edited.
