How to "Update" Your mod?
#1I don't really know if that was posted before but, how do i "Update" my mod source code? Is there a way or i have to redo everything each version?
Well I had to update my 008 mod several times during development and it never had any issues, it was just slightly time-consuming.Nightmare Tank wrote:Either there should be backwards compatibility, or some detailed explanation on here. I do know that I've seen a couple mods on here that make new rooms, but attempting to add those rooms to the .ini file after copy-pasting the code into the base file will either result in memory access violations, "inability to load map 0" or something like that, or the rooms just will not appear.
Well I got a bunch of mods from v0.7.4 but attempting to copy-paste their source code into the related v0.8.1 files as well as their rooms into the .ini file yields the above issues...InnocentSam wrote:Well I had to update my 008 mod several times during development and it never had any issues, it was just slightly time-consuming.Nightmare Tank wrote:Either there should be backwards compatibility, or some detailed explanation on here.

It's best to let the respective mod author know that some people want the mod updated to 0.8.1 (or any newer version). They know their code best, and it'd be easier to port.Nightmare Tank wrote:Well I got a bunch of mods from v0.7.4 but attempting to copy-paste their source code into the related v0.8.1 files as well as their rooms into the .ini file yields the above issues...InnocentSam wrote:Well I had to update my 008 mod several times during development and it never had any issues, it was just slightly time-consuming.Nightmare Tank wrote:Either there should be backwards compatibility, or some detailed explanation on here.
