Modswapper v. 0.9

[Frodo]

You're alive! ;D How was your vacation? Is the Shai-Hulud mod still going to be worked on?

[Timenn]

Yea :)

But for the next version, what need to be added you think?

I hope Cyborg will send me his lgt-editor. So I can add it. I'll be away for a few days, but then I will start on the new version. What need to be included/upgraded/changed ?

I will make it backup files before it overwrites

I will hopefully make a short cut to Thunder LGT

I will make the Kwisatz Haderach get a special place (I think)

What else??

[jacobdouds]

maybe you can intregrate it so like you load modswapper, and you can make a lgt file withen that, you know what i mean?

[Cyborg]

Timenn:

Test my lgt-editor plz. If it works, I will not make any more adjustments to it, but if it dont works... Then I have work to do.

I was editing the lgt-editor, so it would fit as a map editor for my new dune game (I need editors), and I overwrote the lgt-editor files...

Hope it works! And if it dont, then ppl need to think it is really good idea before I make it again.

[Frodo]

yes, Cyborg, it is a good idea. I love the Modswapper Idea. We just need to make it like a utility at dune editing. So more people will download it and more mods will use it.

[vidiware]

well yes

but why not write a toturial, and manualy do the lgt...

its same speed and doesnt cost any hrs for programming

[Timenn]

I'll make a direct link in Modswapper, so Thunder LGT starts.

Do I have the latest versio?. But I will test it :)

That's the idea. People NEED to make lgt-files otherwise it won't work

Hmm, don't forget the lgt-file is JUST a TEXT-file. It has only a other extension you Modswapper won't confuse it with other textfiles

But I will start to the new version tomorrow (GMT)

[Timenn]

Cyborg, sorry that I tested your program so late. But now I did. It works very good. :) But there is just 1 thing. Can you make the program that you can multiple select items which you want to include?

I was working on the lgt-file of KH, and you don't want to know how long the texture list is (tjesis Nema, what a work ;))

I'm stuck somewhere with Modswapper, at the point that I want to backup files. Does someone knows which error I/O error 123 is?

I can make lgt files for you if you want, but it takes some time.

It costs E 4.92 per hour :P

[Cyborg]

I am sorry I messed up Thunder LGT's files :'(

If I should include multiselect, I would haev to repair it.

Hope it is effective enough as it is :)

Thats what caused me to run in fear and curl into a fetal posistion.

Nema, and other modders, have made like millions of textures, and I have to go list them all.

[Cyborg]

I go ahead making Thunder LGT 2!

It shouldnt take long... ::)

The new version wil feature multiselect. Hope that will bring more users!

[jacobdouds]

it will help me out greatly, good job.

[Timenn]

Btw, I think I can get through the error I get. But then I have to kick my little brother from the computer when I can continue with the code :P

[ethan]

where is the mod-swapper anyway? i need to d/l it :P

[Timenn]

It's in this thread. But you can also download it on this link:

Very good work Timenn!!!!!!!!!

I tried it and I cant say that I found any bugs

I report to u fi I find anyone :)

[Timenn]

Ok, thanks. I'm sorry for any delays to the readme.txt. But I was too lazy yesterday, and today I'm almost the whole day away, tomorrow, I think

[Cyborg]

Here are some ideas... If the mod fails to install, make modswapper uninstall it right away. As it is now, you must click on reset emperor.

The log: Why not use a listbox instead of several messages when vewing the log?

[Edric O]

Ok, I tried to use Modswapper, but I just can't figure out one thing... where do I put my mod files? Meaning the 3ddata, model and strings folders for, say, Kwisatz Haderach (or any other mod). Where do I put them?

Me is stupid. ;D

Btw, thanks for the KH2 lgt file Timenn! You saved me a whole lot of work!

What would be cool with the log in a list is this:

If u see a bad file, u can just click on it to remove it, its that simple. (with vb it is ::))

[jacobdouds]

Jolly good job timenn, very good, I can use this one, and KH is a must.

Your like free bundles software that comes with another prog

[Timenn]

Ok, do any of you have suggestions for the next version?

Cyborg gave me this:

If a file can't be copied, then it will not stop the entire copy procedure.

And from me:

A better system for: 'Show progress'

But I think this version will hold for a while.

I'll only ask if Nema or Edric wants to add this to the dune editing site
