[vidiware]

He he...

Why dont't you integrate a lgt maker in modswapper?

[Cyborg]

SHHHT!

Dont give him such dangerous ideas Vidi! ;D

[Timenn]

I will integrate Thunder LGT later :)-------------Here is an example, I have a mod, named Shai-Hulud:<Name>Shai-Hulud<Info>This mod replaces the Atreides for Fremen, the Fremen gets a new arsenal of weapons, including the Fremen Biker and the Kwisatz Haderach and more...<End><Files>Shai_Hulud<End><Buildings>FRSonicTurret.xbfFRSandTurret.xbfFRFactory.xbf<End><Units>Assasin.xbfFRKwisatzHaderach.xbfFRLauncher.xbf<End><Textures>FR_SonicTurret.tgaFR_Factory.tgaAssasin.tgaFR_KwisatzHaderach.tgaFR_Launcher.tga<End><Model>Rules.txtArtIni.txt<End><Movies><End><Music><End><SFX><End><Strings>E_Output.txt<End><rfd/rfh><End><Other Files><End><End>

Since people find it hard to make the lgt-file. I think because they are confused how the lgt-file looks now, I'm offering to make for their mods a lgt-file. The thing they need to do it to send me a list to timenn@hotmail.com, or attach it here, with the files their mod includes, and where the files should go to when you want to install the mod.

Then I send a lgt file + the folder where you need to put your files in

[Cyborg]

I am very sorry, but I cannot make the editor if the lgt format keep looking as it does.

My suggestions... Keep is as it always has been.

This way, the lgt-editor can actually be laid out for use, and people would start youse your modswapper because the format would not be so hard to make.

Hope you understand this post and contact me if you agree or disagree please.

I hope i have not offended you with this post ;)

It's like the template now is, and when there are no bugs, I don't change it. And I only changed it once...

[Cyborg]

Why did u change it so you had to type wich tags to be included???

it was much easier before... but you are the boss ;)

[Timenn]

To prevent that the lgt-file became very large. But if many people have something against it, I will change it

[Cyborg]

Hmmm.

It will be much work and many hours to make an editor to the current format...

So, can u keep it as it was before?

the file isnt large at all!

The people having enough space for emperor should have space for some mods too. ;)

I have thunder lgt reade if you use your previous file...

[Timenn]

Okay I will change it. I will do it today, or otherwise tomorrow

[Cyborg]

Thank you very much timenn!!!!

Ill upload the lgteditor friday...

We are going on a vacation tomorrow.

[Ghosty_Square]

Ahh, what one?

They are both very good, Cyborgs is easier to use.

Ghostys give you more option.

But

With ghostys one, it makes a file called modname.E

what happened to lgt?

When you type the name of the file you want to create u must type the .lgt as well!

Actually if you edit a file, you 'll rewrite the file from the beginning so it isn't really useful.

[Timenn]

Ok, I've updated Modswapper now. It has now an easier template, and the program is updated for that. No new update in the coming weeks, I'm on holidays 8)

Attachment deleted, newer version available

When do you get that error?

And I have detected a small error myself. When you say Activate Mod and you haven't really selected one, you get an I/O 6 error

[Ghosty_Square]

I get that error when I activate my BikerMod.

[jacobdouds]

I think I have got it working now, but, to start it, is it okay to have a Mod on already? Or must it be game defaults?

[vidiware]

The Shai Hulud Example does that work???

If so then i can write a lgt file for my mod!!!

[jacobdouds]

Timenn... how many updates do you have planned?

[Cyborg]

Updates is essential ;D

Without them... there would be no progress...

OKay, Cyborg, I like your prog.

Timenn, what is the corect path for the modswapper to be in?

E:WestWoodEmperorDATATIMENModswapper

??

Also, how do I start the prog, as in, do I need to start by putting in the defualt files in the right folders? Cause when I use the prog, it says.

Resetting Emperor...

or

Mod INstalled

But nothing happens.

What goes in the

<Files>

part?

If a section has nothing, do I just leave it blank?

[Cyborg]

I am happy you liked my editor ;)

If you use it, nothing will go wrong about the file.

keep all tags... even if they are empty.

[vidiware]

TO Release my mod fast i will not make a LGT-File...

This because i didn't understandt it completly!

does cyborgs work perfectly

I will make a zip later

shadow_lgt.zip and post at the board or something

[Timenn]

Hmmm, maybe I can help over msn. I'm back from holidays now. And I will see what a new version of Modswapper needs
