Operation: No Mod Left Behind (0.14.5 Mod Upgrader)

GunsForGuns

ProbablyNotAlpharius I think you can as long as you do go around saying you made the mod or nothing like that.

ProbablyNotAlpharius

GunsForGuns I mean, I just play this game. If the upgrader doesn't work first try there's no way I can finish upgrading a mod

ProbablyNotAlpharius It does say in the post

Walt It is also not really intended to be used by anyone other than the author(s) of a mod, since it can't do a 100% perfect upgrade. If your favorite mod hasn't been updated to work with 0.14.5, you're welcome to try the upgrader on it, but expect issues.

Because the new update includes a lot of things to do with manual entry as also stated.

Walt

ProbablyNotAlpharius Can I use this to make the mods I've downloaded work on the new version or is this more of a tool for the mod devs to update their stuff?

You can try and see how well it works, but it's mainly intended for the mod developers themselves.

OPbattlemaster

it says "cannot locate mod.txt file" and then crashes

Walt

OPbattlemaster You need to give it the folder containing the mod.txt file.

Unfathomably helpful for those of us who lack the know-how (or patience) to update things, especially when they're on the back burner for a while. It all helps the mod economy.

Oh, great, now that makes me think of mod Communism...

Walt I've got a bug report.
If a part doesn't have FireModeToggle but still uses a weapon for other functions the upgrader would not add it properly to AutoTarget or AutoTargets. In this case it should have been set to the component's OperationalToggle instead. As a result the game crashes because it can't find the FireModeToggle.
Example crash message:

 System.InvalidOperationException: No component named 'FireModeToggle' in part 'xyz'.
at Cosmoteer.Ships.Parts.Part.GetComponent[T](ID1 id) in C:\Users\Walt\Documents\Code\Cosmoteer\Source\Ships\Parts\Part.cs:line 478
at Cosmoteer.Ships.Parts.Logic.PartModeToggle.OnAddedToPart(Part part) in C:\Users\Walt\Documents\Code\Cosmoteer\Source\Ships\Parts\Logic\PartModeToggle.cs:line 72

Lafiel Can you give me an example mod I can test that with? I did not run into that particular problem when testing on Abh.

Lafiel

Walt Ok, I've run several lines of specialized tests with all similar parts isolated from Abh and SWCD. And they don't crash anymore! Abh had the crash once which at the time I didn't took note and immediately applied a fix. SWCD had it but the problem was obvious. Somewhere down the line of testing both mods and tester feedbacks I identified this common problem. Anyhow, the specialized tests didn't cause the crash anymore. So don't know the cause or what's different now. My conclusion is it was some rare constellation for Abh while it was more of an oversight issue with SWCD.
