Great. Let's see if it can be added to the Modswapper.zip on the site.

But we can wait and put Frodo's lgt-files to it

[Cyborg]

New Version uploaded, check the first post.

[Frodo]

is modswapper still compatible with the old versions? If not it is not that big of a deal, this new one seems much much better. Great job Cyborg!

[Timenn]

I doesn't matter if it is compatible. Only the output lgt file of Cyborg's programs count. And if they both are correct. Then Modswapper will agree :)

Frodo, can you send me all the lgt-files you made? I will check them if there are some errors maybe. It would be too bad if there was a small error in all the great work you've done.

You can also use Cyborg's PowerLGT which corrects errors automatically

[Cyborg]

That's right. My program fixes errors like:

* Empty lines

* WrOnGcAsE spelling in tags. (I don't know if Timen's modswapper is case sensitive, but it makes the file look better :))

* Add any tags you might forgot to add.

What it doesn't correct is spellingerrors in filenames and such.

[Frodo]

sure timenn, i will send them to your email, it isn't that big of a file. i really love your new program anders, i am just doing some of the most recent mods released, and it is a breez ;De!

[Cyborg]

Thanks for your positive reply, Frodo ;D

[Frodo]

heh, i made a typo, oh well, ill leave it, looks kinda funny. i am just finishing anoth lgt file that took me about 1 min, 30 secs. ;D You are incredible Cyborg.

[Timenn]

I don't know it it is case sensitive. I don't know how Delphi 6 does that. But I can test it.

btw, it doesn't even matter if you type <Buildings> or <Bubububuildddiiings} for example. Since that line was only made for a frienlier interface. Modswapper just skips that line

Did you send it to my old adress (timenn@hotmail.com) Frodo?

I will send you my new adress then. But I can still receive at timenn@hotmail.com (I just don't check it much)

[Cyborg]

btw, it doesn't even matter if you type <Buildings> or <Bubububuildddiiings} for example. Since that line was only made for a frienlier interface. Modswapper just skips that line

Oh so that's why modswapper could read the lgtfiles made by the old thunderlgt. My program has a tag recognition system, so if you spell wrong in one of the tabs, it won't understand what you meant. With the tag-recognition you can skip tags if you're doing manual editing, though. :)

[Frodo]

i didn't have a chance to send it, later today i can though, i have to leave for school.

[Timenn]

Don't worry. I can wait :)

there is a problem anders, not a big one i don't think though. there are more folders that mods use, i just realized it a couple weeks ago when i made the lgt file for ITDG. There is a special folder for Bullets, and a few others, I will tell you the details on MSN this weekend.

[IxianMace]

Is this the final version? Or are there going to be more updates? I think I must have at least 3 separate .zip files in my Modswapper folder. ::) With this download complete, I guess it will be safe to delete all the previous versions?

[Cyborg]

The zipfile here will always contain the latest version.

It will not be a problem to add more tags if that's what you mean.

You will have to tell Timen about this too.

[Frodo]

yeah, he was the one who first noticed it, cause when i was making it, i had to put apollyons bullet xbfs into the buildings folder cause there was no tag for bullets.

[Timenn]

Didn't Frodo update the Modswapper.zip to include Cyborgs editor?

However, I can easily implement a bullet tag. Just say which folder they need to go.

And all previous LGT files will be compatible with the newer version.

You can do it like this now:

<OtherFiles>

bullet.xbf<bulletfolder

<End>

[Cyborg]

It would only take me about three minutes or so to add a new tag.

I would only need to know it's position in the lgt file.

[Timenn]

At the bottom. Below the <Other Files> tag

[Cyborg]

Actually I think it would be an idea to keep <other files> at the bottom at all time.

Why not above <other files>? ???

[Apollyon]

yeah, he was the one who first noticed it, cause when i was making it, i had to put apollyons bullet xbfs into the buildings folder cause there was no tag for bullets.

eheh sorry bout causing problems ;)

[Timenn]

Because old versions of Modswapper won't read beyond the <Other Files> tag.

So it is all compatible. And the order doesn't really matter.

You don't cause trouble. You simply detect lacks :)

[Cyborg]

that's really no problem cus I can just make a converter stuff, and my program will ofcourse fix everything automatically when importing a file.

But if you say so, then we make the tags your way ;)
