Oh, hello Thundercraft! Thank you for the inspiration to comment everything in my new mod.
I agree: Your MAXAGE changes are important. I liked the way you had them and that was one of the things I did not like about Taffer's many changes.
Merged back in to Revised already, and would do so for the modest mod if I was interested in maintaining it.
I suspected that might be the case, but I had not tested this. So, I did not try to argue with Taffer about it. (Though, I did suggest that Panda-men's bamboo requirement would lead to starvation.)
Removing [GRAZER] and similar tags is already on my list for my next version, and I prefer it thematically even if this bug is fixed. Panda-men already have the bamboo requirement waved, but I forget if I changed that in my last modest mod version or not.
Not sure what you mean by "argue": I seem to have come across as being bullish, but that isn't the case: I'm happy to hear criticism. Apologies for coming across that way.
The more Modest Mod differs from vanilla the more likely it is to conflict with mods. Since Modest Mod is touted as being a good base upon which to build mods, this is why it's important to keep Modest Mod close to vanilla, only fixing bugs and other problems (except as separate modules).
In my opinion, this is good in theory but problematic in practice: in terms of comments and lines of RAW code changed, I believe that Revised is already easier to merge in than Modest, although that will change in my next version. I was also talked out removing some
very noisy bug fixes. In addition, supporting Modest Mod for other mod authors requires them to either ignore Accelerated (a major reason people like Modest), or try to merge in those massive changes.
If Modest Mod continues, I suggest dropping the noisiest bug fixes, eliminating many of the little, forgettable ones (like I did), commenting everything, and definitely finish Accelerated support.
In my post a few pages back, I explained why I thought that the Modest Bodies, Pedestal, and Tooltips modules are so incredibly modest that I don't understand why they are optional modules
Agreed on the tooltips: I made improvements to these, so I recommend checking the Revised repo. If memory serves, Modest Bodies makes unnecessary changes: the Revised version is preferable, in my opinion. There's no need for any changes other than textual improvements (although adding some new bones is on my todo list, as part of armor improvements). In addition, "upper body" really should stay as "upper body": otherwise in combat, people can strike the chest from behind, which is silly. Until we can differentiate "back" from "chest", it should stay as "upper body".
Not sure if my current version makes the above changes, but the master version from my repo should.
Please let me know, here or in the Revised thread, if there are any other recommendations! Modest and Revised are still similar enough that suggestions can often apply to either.
