Mod Tools ? Merging Overrides?

GravityWave · 07-04-17, 02:17 PM

I'm really pleased to see the mod's coming along nicely. Normally, I'd use a Nexus mod tool to keep track of what mod's are installed and to provide a 'merge' capability across the .txt control files. CW appears to have a similar approach.

Is there a handy way to activate multiple mods. I like the sensor/torp up's, plus new campaigns.

A little help on getting the modd'ing big picture for this gem would be nice.

I admit to being dink on reading the modder's forum, so if it's already there, please remind me. I tried a search, but ???. Sometimes one just needs to roam a little.

I've been using good ol' JSGME without any issues. My mods are packaged with it in mind.

Thanks. I'm trying it out. I suppose that the MODS folder needs to get pointed at the Override folder (name change in JSGME. I haven't really figured it out yet as the pdf is pretty generic. But, yes this is the sort of thing I was looking for (I need to get it working first B4 really making that claim).

Yeah, working with the override folder tends to be the best practice, so a mod altering the 1984 campaign would have a structure like this:

\Cold Waters\MODS\Longer Campaigns - Epic\ColdWaters_Data\StreamingAssets\override\camp aign\campaign001

(not sure why the message is creating that phantom space in "campaign")

I've been catching up on doc's and file struct's. Starting to see the light with an example. Thanks.
