OPERATION: NO MOD LEFT BEHIND (0.14.0 Mod Upgrader)

Alfraks

Sweet Baby Jesus thats needs some time... damn... so many steps to Upgrade an mod? Why did the whole modding system change anyways?

TurboTwinky28

Alfraks 0.14.0 has some major changes to the coding in order to allow for more advanced/sophisticated updates in the future (at least from what I know)

Alfraks

TurboTwinky28 Damn... this gon be hard af

Walt wait a minute YET!!! YES MY DREAMS WILL COME TRUE

FangTheCat

Walt You must put it in the same directory as Cosmoteer.exe (usually C:\Program Files\Cosmoteer).

wha..?
(I don't understand fancy computer talk..)
From what I understand.. If at all.. Move upgrader thing to C:\Program File\Cosmoteer ..?
(I'm trying to understand for the future..)

Walt

FangTheCat Yes, put the mod upgrader exe in that folder.

FangTheCat

Walt
oh.. Thanks.. (Sound simple enough.. but knowing me..that won't be that easy.... yea.....)

FangTheCat

Walt it will finish without crashing

Uhh.. What if it crashes.. a lot?
(It doesn't give me the thing for Author ID, instead, it says it is copying and upgrading the thing, The folder appears, but then it goes all broken.. The message I got after it closed was..
"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

(Why is nothing ever go right for me..?)

Walt

FangTheCat Post a link to where I can download your mod and test it with the upgrader. I'll take a look when I get back from vacation.

FangTheCat

Walt
It does it with all of them..
(But apparently SW: ACD Doesn't even have a mod.txt or somethin like that)
It says it upgrades them.. Then they won't work ...
I'm worried most about ABH, as it has given me the most problems in the past...

Thanks 😃

Walt

FangTheCat Sounds like maybe you're telling it to upgrade the wrong folder. Make sure you give it the folder with the mod.txt file.

FangTheCat

Walt
oh..

Shyreo

Sorry But I did all like that but its didn't work can you help me ?

Walt

Shyreo Not without more info. Please post the full text when you run it and the error.

When I upgrade it (I made sure to go past the double.zip because cosmos has a cosmos in it), it freezes.

Walt

Terket Please post a link to where I can download the mod and I'll take a look when I get back from vacation.

Terket

This is... Magic! My mod worked instantly with no trouble at all!!!! Thanks Walt, you are the best! Cant get a better dev than you!

TheHealingDoctor

It instantly freezes as soon as I put in the path to my mod.
I don't know if it's because of some rubbish coding on my end, a fault on the upgrader, or because of the mod itself doesn't work.

Hmm, I just tested and it seems to be working fine. Can you please get me a screenshot of the upgrader window? (And make sure you have the upgrader exe in the same folder as Cosmoteer.exe.)

So I upgraded a whole bunch of mods and then got the following errors:

System.Exception: Error loading mod: Confederate ---> Halfling.ObjectText.OTNavigateException: Unable to find node at path "<./Data/Effects/particles.txt>
System.Exception: Error loading mod: Cosmoteer Plus ---> Halfling.ObjectText.OTNavigateException: Unable to find node at path "<Ships/ai.txt>/BountyBrain".
System.Exception: Error loading mod: Additional Weapons ---> Halfling.ObjectText.OTParseException: Group at path '<C:\Program Files\Cosmoteer\Data\rules.txt>' already contains a node named 'PARTICLES'.
System.Exception: Part ID 'laser_point_defense_celly' must be in the form of 'author_name.part_name'.

Not all of them at once as I turned one mod off after every time I got an error, though I stopped after the several errors.

Got told it´s mods that add their own effects and after looking into it a little I found out that the issue is probably that all "particle.txt"´s have the same name so they can´t be in the same folder, one would probably have to add the author and mod ID to particle txt files aswell, though I´m not sure if cosmoteer accepts that.
