Hmm, will/can this tool determine what mods are a particular save game is using? That would be a most wonderful tool, though may not be possible. The saves don't have this information, do they?

Say I've done a game with a particular set of mods. I then downloaded some more and activated them and deactivated some incompatible ones and make a new game. When I want to play my older save, I can't remember which mods I had on at the time.
What will this tool do? Will it remind me when I'm changing mods configuration? Is this what "backup/restore save game" mean? What about merely backup/restore modsConfig?

I'm still trying to work out the best way to do this. One of the ideas it to have a "profiles" type setup, where each profile will have a separate game Dir so the saves would be profile specific. Another problem is distribution of mods, should the mod creator provide their own link, or should I create a website dedicated for RIM mods?

Can someone confirm that its not using the GPU? Tynan?

Suggestions:
1. Delete/backup, savefiles.
2. Delete/deactivate/activate/backup/Download, mods without starting Rimworld.
3. Alerts you if your using an outdated mod
4. Warns you if your using a mod that is not compatible with the current alpha

Questions:
how were you originally planning on handling mod downloads?

Thanks for the suggestions!

I plan to host a website where mod owners can submit them, the mod owners will have to keep them updated and list compatible versions. The client will just download/remove mods to/from the folder you select.

Hello all,
I recently posted my concept for an auto-updater and had a suggestion to make a mod manager... So here we go!


Id like to get some suggestions on how you guys/galls want it to work, things like features and styling.

Hello, I did a search for GPU and Rendering but found nothing related, so here's my post.

I was playing 466 AlphaF and around day 15 a large fire started, which would be fine had it not dropped the FPS to 1...

It got me wondering, and apon checking my system stats I found out that RIM does NOT seem to utilize the GPU? I haven't gone much further into any debugging stuff as I don't feel its necessary...

Looks cool although the sort of thing that would work best from the Tynan, obviously, if it used an SSO/forums account.

Could potentially do some verification through a display that you have the game through showing the SendOwl email, not sure. Does it keep saves (not sure if they are compatible with updates anyway :/) - best auto-update would be a mod updater

Its just a concept really, I enjoy making this sort of thing

As for a mod manager, perhaps my next project

This was the most related section for me to post this in, in my mind anyway. Perhaps have a community creations area?

Anyway, I'm kind of lazy and the task of downloading and unpacking the updates each time was a task I could avoid. So I built a tool to do it for me!


Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcOg-JD0Lcw

Its a simple VB.net application, it only works in windows.
The login is basically just for show. It does connect to a login server but not one that can check if you own RIM, so I won't be distributing this unless I can do that (impossible unless Tynan helps me)


I've built this on my own, and have no affiliation with Ludeon or RimWorld

Hi Orfax,

I've seen this type of issue before, and it was caused by the mods folder. Make sure its there/has permissions

I've just updated the code for removing filth and corpses.
I'll try to be more active on this and fix the rest and continue

Sounds good, Ill take a look and perhaps we could work together to produce a good tool. I'm currently working on a tool to edit the save file.

Ok I've fixed those bugs, sorry about that. 

Iv also added a simple backup that makes a copy of the save at the beginning of each load (If it corrupts then DONT OPEN THE CHEAT) Just remove the .bak from the end

There's two bugs with the weapon part of the colonist editor:

• If the colonist does have a weapon, the tag <Pos> is left empty, causing the game to crash when it tries to load the save.
• If the colonist does not have a weapon, the tag <Primary IsNull="True" /> stays, preventing the game from seeing the added weapon.

Hmm, thats strange it worked when I first tested :/ Ill fix that asap

[Bug Fixes]

Woop just updated! added a feature to modify individual colonists, More will be added to this editor soon.

Bug Fixes
Leaves dfsvc.exe running in memory when installed, uninstalled or used. > Its part of the Oneclick feature(Auto Updates)
Throws an unhandled exception when clicking on any button in the main window if a save is not opened on app start. > Re-designed the app, you must select a save now

A feature request; disabling the Storyteller AI.

To do that you'd need to change this section:

Code Select Expand

<StoryState>
<LastThreatQueueTime>-1</LastThreatQueueTime>
<NumThreatsQueued>0</NumThreatsQueued>
<LastQueueTicks>
<KeyList />
<ValueList />
</LastQueueTicks>
</StoryState>

To this:

Code Select Expand

<StoryState IsNull="True" />

This effectively completely disables random events, such as raiders showing up. Unfortunately it also disables trader ships and travellers.

Also, bug reports.
• Leaves dfsvc.exe running in memory when installed, uninstalled or used.
• Does not remove the <AIKing> raider information when removing raiders. (Leaving this in does not cause any problems in-game.)
• Throws an unhandled exception when clicking on any button in the main window if a save is not opened on app start.

About the <AIKing> section.
You'll want to change it to this when raiders are removed:

Code Select Expand

<AIKingManager>
<KingList />
</AIKingManager>

Again, nice app. It's nice to be able to click a button rather than manually edit the save file. 

Also, would you like me to PM to you the tags for weapons? I would post it here but this post is long enough.

Thanks for the suggestions and bug's, Ill get onto those asap! And I'd love the weapon list It will save me time later when I add the colonist customization system. 

Just created a simple download page, http://c-38.co.uk/RIMCheat/
What you think?
