Does this awesome tool allow me to extract creatures and ensure all their dependent reactions (or inorganic tokens) are in place when moved over to a new mod?

I'm still trying to figure this out.  I got the python program running, but I don't seem to see any creatures from some imported mods...  Just vanilla stuff


UPDATE:
I can verify after removing and reloading everything it's not working on my installation

I do a clean install with a clean folder of 34.11 raw's, and it installs

next...

I do a

Import from Directory
  name it civforge 2.7

I see a civforge 2.7(0)

and then I do a
  File - Install Mods

which still results in
  civforge 2.7(0)

and then I right click on civforge 2.7(0)
  and edit mod and

only see vanilla entries...

what is wrong?

CLARIFICATION
well it appears when I import a mod into mod manager, it doesn't show any changes from the original

UPDATE:
I tried using the exe version as well with the original 32.11, and the same issue happened when trying to import civforge 2.7

You need to import the objects folder.

that's what I've been doing.  You get an error if you don't

Update:

importing the objects folder results in an error...

I've been importing the folder above the objects folder (i.e. the folder that contains the raw)

awww snap... now I'm too drunk to deal with it... no not really, but a little

Update:
so I loaded accelerated mod v1.1

I see leather highlighted i green compared to vanilla..

why?  I hit undo, it removes hard...  that's not even a change...

I'm trying to ensure leather is kept in the mod/changes, and when I undo it, it undoes something completely seperate

so it's

[leather]
[hard]

changed to just

[hard]

so
[leather] is in green beneath
[hard]

I right click to undo
[leather]

and it removes both
[leather]
[hard]

You can safely ignore tag changes when merging, usually. It's the objects you need to worry about.

that doesn't help, I want to pay attention to object changes, for example, civforge as well as mwmod make changes to tissues, and I need to see them on a case by case basis... I thought this tool would allow for that

For that, you want to compare the mods side-by-side without merging.

so it seems like this tool REPLACES ENTIRE objects based on the order precedence?

If so... then I guess I can change individual line items on a case by case basis afterwards using winmerge

Update:
actually... that might not work

I was really really hoping this would compare objects as if it was in winmerge... that's the problem with winmerge... it can't tell if stuff is out of order, but I thought this tool would make up for that by reading each object, and comparing it to another object on another mod... but show the user the differences regardless

I tried some very simple merges of civforge and accelerated mod...

I'm not so sure how useful this tool is supposed to be, here's an example of my errorlog after I merged

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

don't get me wrong, it does a great job of showing me what's been added via + sign, or what's been removed with [D] or what's been changed with
  • , but I think hand merging the mod is the only way to go... I mean after I did the merge, my errorlog was like 9k.  Why didn't it grab these token's?  I tried changing the precedence...


maybe I need to go in and see if they are marked for deletion from the merged mod?  and undelete them?

Update:
I verified that quadruped isn't even marked for deletion or change, and it's removed from the merged mod...
it's under BODY QUADRUPED
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I just double checked... there's not body_default.txt...  am I supposed to be including these files?

Update, by copying the missing files back in, my errorlog dropped tremendously, now down to 17k

If you don't have the vanilla files, it won't include them.

okay, so if I don't have vanilla, it won't include them (i.e. vanilla raw's)

If I include them, and it makes changes to those files, it will add those token's/objects to them?

If I don't include them, then the mod manager just add's new objects into different files? (hrmm... I guess I will have to do some testing.)

Ideally, it would be nice if all added objects went into separate files from the originals (aka modding etiquette)

feature request: items in green show changes, however theres no option to revert those specific blocks back to the original.
instead i have to copy into notepad and copy back if i want to revert a removed change back to included.  i could revert the entire objects changes...

i think i see putnams logic on using the tool with another mod as a base (ie instead of using vanilla raws)

Yes, it explicitly says you need vanilla's raws. I'm pretty sure it does place them in their own file.
