[1.0] RWMS -- RimWorld ModSorter .. RimWorld mod sorter (Windows, Linux, OSX)

[ProfZelonka]

I probably missed it somewhere, but I'm not seeing how this mod works in figuring out what the order should be??

What I'm seeing after using the tool: Mod list in a "pretty good" order, many logical, most by category of "animal" or "item" it looks to be.. but when I start the game a bunch of mods actually don't work. Take Moody and RimHUD for example, they were towards the end of the modlist and didn't work. I moved them both towards the top and they work just fine. What's this tool really do and who determines where the mod order should be? Again, a bunch of mods are not in order. Also, how does this mod compare to RimPy?

* The Python dowload link is malformed (it even gets flagged as malicious link by Steam).

This is because the moon logic of the site prefixes every link beginning with www. with https://, so Steam itself falls flat on its face on this. The python interpreter itself is used virtually everywhere, and if this would be malware, the whole internet would be infected.

Corrected this to satisfy the demands of the web page itself.

* On https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1903712002 "Main Mod version is found on..." links to itself (1903712002).

Corrected, thank you.

* Regarding RimThemes and RimSaves:
The author says on the Mod Workshop page from RimThemes "Need to be loaded in first position in mod list!" (right after core, before HugsLib) and "[...]It can be related to your mod order, please put RimSaves just before HugsLib and test if it works.[...]" (from RimSaves faq).
RWMS puts these mods later in the list.

- please open an issue on the RWMSDB site. I know that currently there are many issues open (I know, real life, doing this after my day do day job).

(Before RWMS I used this post for mod sorting, seems like RWMS does some things different. Thats why I'm a bit confused and give my suggestions here.)

Sorting order is similar, but not quite the same (animals and storyteller stuff differ). I still categorize the stuff manually, so there may be some errors here and there, but I'm happy to have corrections.

Hey, seems like your Github is down.. I can't reach it :/

[coemgen98]

It seems down too. Keeps sending me a 404

[Canute]

The whole user "shakeyourbunny" got removed from github.
Maybe shakeyourbunny abandon the project and closed all doors.
But only he can give us answers, but since Last Active:   November 09, 2019 i wouldn't count on this.

[shakeyourbunny]

I did not get any notice that my account there got flagged, seemingly for "hate speech".

It seems that Microsoft seems a very vengeful company, it seems for asking to reinstate the santa hat icon in the VSCode editor after some guy demanded the removal, because this is "this is almost equally offensive as a swastika."

Original ticket: https://archive.md/AqvW0
Answer tickets:

I never used bad speech, just suggesting that they should reinstate the hat, write a short apology and then be done with it instead of (what they did) banning, censoring and closing the tickets about all inquiries to reverse this.

Happy holidays!

PS: I'll look into a solution.

[Eskoze]

At least thank you for the answer, hope you'll find a solution because I can't manage my load order by myself haha !
Anyway, happy holidays to you!

[shakeyourbunny]

I have one request:

please don't discuss the santa hat issue here, this is really off-topic. If you want, please do it on reddit or similar.

[shakeyourbunny]

IMPORTANT

please download the newest revision of the tool at

https://bitbucket.org/shakeyourbunny/rwms/downloads/

to have the functionality restored.

Caveats:
- no new stuff, just fixing the functionality
- issues are sadly gone

I'm looking into options to have mod db updates more regularily submitted or done, if you have any suggestions, they are welcome.

[Eskoze]

Thanks for being this reactive ! Keep up the good work

Is the most up to date database the one from October the 19th?

If not how do I upgrade the database? It's not recognising some mods and keeps resetting them to the bottom of the load order (E.g. Psychic Awakening).

[Canute]

The mod load the database direct from a cloud database when you use the script. So you allways got the latest version.
If you encounter unknow mods, you can submit

Feedback
I'd appreciate any feedback and unknown mod submissions (just paste the contents of the rwms_unknown_xxxxxxx.json here or a new gitlab issue on https://bitbucket.org/shakeyourbunny/rwms/issues). Please include what platform you are playing RimWorld on and what build (DRMfree/Steam).

[shakeyourbunny]

Support for the GitHub version is discontinued, development will continue onwards on bitbucket.org.

Reason is that some entitled politically correct snowflake was offended on a ticket submission from me where I wanted to take down a dark theme from an application (which was a reaction to the  removal of a santa hat in the user interface because .... same level as some certain political symbol).

Luckily, I was able to remove the flag, but I don't want to do stuff on Github any more where everyone may be offended by anything. Please, if you must reply to this, write me an PM, but I don't want to derail this thread.

Will look into options for a solution for quicker (and perhaps) community-based update solution. If anyone has some good suggestions, let's discuss these.

Is the most up to date database the one from October the 19th?

Just updated the database, sourced from the issues on bitbucket.

If any mods are now missing, please submit a ticket there.

If not how do I upgrade the database? It's not recognising some mods and keeps resetting them to the bottom of the load order (E.g. Psychic Awakening).

Psychic Awakening is now in the database, was a part of a submission.

I'll think about a(n additional) local database source with the option for some form of sharing / sourcing it to make the utility more future-proof in an event of getting the online database nuked by some idiotic snowflake.

Main problem is the format in which the local stuff is saved; easiest solution (for me) would be plain JSON, but this is not really user-friendly...

Update 0.95.1.4

fixes download url for database / categories on BitBucket.

Version 0.95.1.3 does not recognize new updates, so you should download.
