Meaning...?

[Sean Mirrsen]

I'm currently porting (or I should say "just finished porting") the Martial Arts mod to the format supplied by my ModBase program. It requires that you only include changes in the entries, not entire entries, also allowing to delete entries and tags outright.

But what use is that now that I've done the leg-work of sifting through the mod files? Everything works good.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Let's say you want your mod to work properly in conjunction with another mod that changes the same creatures - like my MA+ mod. Normally you'd have to manually edit every creature to implement changes from both mods. With ModBase, several mods can provide their own sets of changes for every creature, and the program will merge those mods into one set of raws.

Mostly the program saves you work (though it won't help when your mod is already complete), and allows the end user to easily swap around mods.

[The13thRonin]

So can I use your mod or not? I've already manually made it compatible and with respect I'd like it to stay this way. Whether it becomes a community project or my personal files.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I never said you can't use it. Sure, go ahead.

I just want to say that any following versions of MA+ and Minerals will be made for ModBase.

[The13thRonin]

Thank you, I will have a look into your mod manager and attempt to utilize it in further versions.

I believe there is a crashing problem with the MOUTH_MAW body entity. I encounter random crashes usually around creatures that share this tag. Give it a look into?

[Sean Mirrsen]

mouth_maw, hm? I'll check it out, but most wilderness creatures have the tag, and mouth construction of most other creatures isn't too different.

Err, in regards to the Dwarven attacks, is that supposed to say grunt in contempt as you whack, or grunt in content?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Say what? Is that really there? I must've been typing that on autopilot.
Yes, it should indeed be "content".

[The13thRonin]

Crashes are happening on the:

- Black bear.
- Fox (possibly, it showed up with the bear)

and occasionally but strangely enough not always the:

- Giant Cave Spider.

This might not really matter because of how many other mods I have installled, but since I tried to update to your latest release, I've been getting these errors:

The result is things like villages full of mussels and other such vermin or unwarranted monsters instead of the more sensible inhabitants.

EDIT:  Ignore the [PREFSTRING one, whatever it is it's entirely my fault and it hasn't caused any real problems so it doesn't matter that I can't find it.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Erm, I think I fixed all possible errors in the commandline installer thing. If you're using modbase, then these should not appear at all. If not, something odd is going on. Please verify that the contents of "data\objects" are completely deleted, then start a new world and see if the errors keep appearing. Oh, and clear the errorlog as well. For some reason some people assume the game writes a new log for every game started.

Nonanonymous: You have spaces in a number of those tokens. Remove them and it should work fine.
PREFSTRING is also probably occurring due to this.
