[1.0] automatic Rimworld mod sorter

[Madeline]

Actually, it isn't a mod, but it is an external program wrote with a python script.
2019/03/19
I re-build the whole code. make a logging system base and upload Log to github gist to share which mods are not in DB.
github gist : https://gist.github.com/RAMSlog

new tutorial video

this is download link(English version)
https://github.com/zzzz465/Rimworld-automatic-mod-sorter/releases

you can found it from Github
https://github.com/zzzz465/Rimworld-automatic-mod-sorter

so I made a program that automatically sorts  your program

how to use (old, better read Github version)
you need to activate mod you want to load, reboot rimworld and close rimworld.
and launch "LAUNCH ME.bat" from the file.
this program will detect your config file, subscribed workshop mod.
and back up your current config file(this file saved your load order).

next, the program will scan your activated mod from config files, and re-arrange it according to internal mod sorting order.

then, save it to a config file, and run Rimworld.

if the program's order doesn't have any information of mod, that mod will be automatically deactivated, and user needs to manually re-activate it in game.

this will reduce your job when you try to use more than 50+ mods.

Although there is such a feature, it can't automatically subscribe library mod or Core mods like hugslib, Alien framework. you need to know if there is a mod that needs a base mod.

currently, for the base version, I made the database for top 250 mods by subscribe number.
updating mod DB is time-consuming work but if you help me, we can do it faster.
please contact me.

lastest version : (check github version)

if you interested at updating DB, read GitHub description!

if you like it, go to Steam page and please do thumb-up!

How does this mod work? how does it know where to put the mod?

[Madeline]

I have a mod order list that makes a mod conflict error to a minimum.
the mods in the DB will be sorted according to the rules.
if you're interested at the mod sort order, please find me at Rimworld Discord name 'Madeline'

Great tool! Are you constantly adding mods to the "mod order list?" I noticed while using this tool that some mods appeared in red and others in green. The mods that appeared in green ended up being sorted. Mods that were red weren't activated. I have been waiting a long time for a tool like this!

I updated program to ignore that. it happens when mod folder structure is abnormal

GREEN = workshop mod
YELLOW = Local mod
BLUE = local mod saved by "mod manager" mod

and, yes. I constantly updating my db to support more mods.

Still same error with newest update. Specify abnormal folder structure.
Btw. how to contribute to your mod?

I mistakenly set the file incorrectly. v0.35 beta release should work.
if you want to contribute DB, then add me on steam.

current mod support : 600+ mods.

[Gavote]

Well...my jaw just hit the floor. 600+ mods supported?! Excellent work, and thank you!

I think after you got the Top 1000 workshop mods (i think all the forum mod's are there too).
You maybe could work at an ingame solution.
Maybe in cooperation with Fluffy's modmanger to sort the modlist over your database ?
