VariTech Mod v0.0.5 RC4 for Cosmoteer 0.15.10

Lafiel

This is just another progressive port of the prototype found here.

There has been no change to contents whatsoever. However, as it's pooling resources from the same pool as Abh changes were made in alignment with Abh. Due to changes to resource names and references in Abh this version cannot be used with Pre-0.7.2 Abh versions!!

This version can be used as a stand-alone mod or with Abh 0.7.2+.
It is compatible with Cosmoteer 0.15.10
It might be compatible with 0.15.8+ but this has not been tested.
In order to use it along with Abh mod you have to switch the mod.txt with mod.Abh.txt (found in this mod's folder). Only one mod.txt can be used at a time. So you do this by renaming/copying mod.Abh.txt to mod.txt. To switch back you have to rename/copy mod.no_abh.txt to mod.txt

This version might be the last before the conversion to phase 2 which will likely only be released with the released version of the game.

Kingslycamben Please read the release notes. Depending whether you use it with Abh or without Abh you have to have the right mod.txt "activated". In your case you used the stand-alone version with Abh.

Lafiel oh... i should read descriptions

Can you better explain (for idiots like me) what to do with the mod.txt files, where to put them etc. When using with abh. I'm guessing we dont interact with the abh mod files and only VariTech but the whole switching etc has me confused as the file has all of those text files already?

Lafiel

silentwolf The mod.txt is the setup/configuration file for a mod. And it always has to be in the mod's folder and not hidden somewhere in a sub-folder.
The mod comes with two backup "mod.txt" named appropriately mod.Abh.txt and mod.no_abh.txt.
All you need to do is copy one and name it mod.txt to "activate" the configuration you want.

Fixed an old forgotten UIButton conflict. Please, re-download.
