I'm impressed by the speed at which you delivered this version :) Again, thanks a lot for developping this fantastic tool, we are sorry that we dit not think about taking the time to provide you with our mod or find the time to test it with the latest releases of modman 6... Making an application like modman, alone, on your free time, is a great challenge and anything but easy, thanks a lot again, you did and do a great job :) Cheers :) Hub. PS : did you check if our graphics.cfg updater is not messing up with you automatic processing of the .cdds files ? Because, modifing the graphic.cfg will be done by modman and our little updater which is ran as an external script :) - [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
HubMan Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Hi again Skypat :) There might be some little issues with the installation of the "High resolution Skin Pack" of the AdA Mod : - the high res skin pack provides some .cdds files containing textures in high resolution (2048x2048) with the same texture names than the textures already coming with the mod in "standard" resolution (1024x1024). - but the problem is that those high res .cdds files does not have the same name than the standard .cdds coming with the mod (was necessary to make modman 5 work : otherwise, reinstall of one of the addon "over" the other one was not always possible...)... Considered that the install script is not executed anymore, it seems that the graphics.cfg is not modified and ends up with references to .cdds (one standard, one high res) containing the -same- texture. I'm not sure how Lockon will handle this case. We may have some manual "workaround" with .bat scripts already coming with our addons that can clean and add correctly the .cdds in the graphics.cfg, but we wonder if modman will not modify the graphics.cfg its own way every time and addon is installed ? Thanks by the way to Cpt Stark for running those tests :) The AdA Mod Team is really a team :) Cheers :) Hub. - [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Cpt Stark Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 but we wonder if modman will not modify the graphics.cfg its own way every time and addon is installed ? test already done Hub. Modman, at each end of installation or uninstallation of any mod (even if the mod does not add or remove any cdds), the graphics.cfg file is checked and modified so, in our problem, need to re-launch the .bat file ;)
Skypat Posted November 17, 2007 Author Posted November 17, 2007 hello yes ModMan verify the integrity of the graphics.cfg file. so if an installed mod using cdds is not registered in graphics.cfg file, ModMan will register it :) your setup.exe utility is executed but it's doing nothing because CDDS lines are already present in i understand your problem it's due to your package. package must be 'safe' you need to add the files in the package in their inverted order within graphics.cfg files. if graphics.cfg file should look like that after installing your mod TEXTURE COLLECTION common = HIGHRESfile1 common = HIGHRESfile2 common = HIGHRESfile3 then your package file MUST look like that (in the MOD MAKER list) HIGHRESfile3 HIGHRESfile2 HIGHRESfile1 each 'common=xxxxxxxx' entries is registered just below the 'temptexture' entries highres package must use only it's OWN cdds filename default package must not use same cdds filename as highres package (actually this is the case) i talk only about CDDS filename (if all textures within the 2 CDDS catalog files have the same name, it's not a problem at all) then it will work and this is the 'safe' way ;) (just my mind) ************** *the good WAY is * *************** Ada default package NORMALfile6 NORMALfile5 NORMALfile4 Ada highres texture HIGHRESfile3 HIGHRESfile2 HIGHRESfile1 after installing the first default package (core package) graphics.cfg file will look like common = NORMALfile4 common = NORMALfile5 common = NORMALfile6 then you install the high res texture package and graphics.cfg file will look like common = HIGHRESfile1 common = HIGHRESfile2 common = HIGHRESfile3 common = NORMALfile4 common = NORMALfile5 common = NORMALfile6 then you Uninstall the high res package and graphics.cfg file will look like again common = NORMALfile4 common = NORMALfile5 common = NORMALfile6 hope you understand what i mean with my poor english ;) this is the way to go BTW you don't need anymore to include your external graphics.cfg updater . supporting ModMan 5.x is not the good way to go because with latest addon, ModMan 5.x may corrupt your FC installation folder Lots of very IMPORTANT bug have been fixed in 6.x series. (specially about CDDS files) believe me. but if you want support modman 5, it's not a problem to include your graphics.cfg updater . just create your both package in the way i described if you have any other question, i will help you. just my 2 cents ;) best regards Skypat
HubMan Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Ok :) I got your point :) Thanks a lot, we will repackage the AdA Mod tomorrow :) Hub. - [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Wild.Bill.Kelso Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 2 Days ago, my CA ezAntiVirus program started saying the last ModMan setup program was infected with the Win32/IRCFlood virus, and it deleted the files. Now I just downloaded this new version and it is saying the same thing. Has anybody else had this problem. Any idea why it is saying this? Here is the info: http://www.ca.com/us/securityadvisor/virusinfo/virus.aspx?id=13938
S77th-GOYA Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Probably a false positive caused by a problem in the virus database for that AV program. Report it to them. I had a similar problem with a non-lockon related program a while back with AVG anti-virus. It was fixed in two days.
Wild.Bill.Kelso Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I was thinking the same thing, but just wanted to check if anybody else has seen this.
