So the original author of those mods are no longer there to write read me texts. This is why the description is available to help with that. If you go to your Modder Tool and read the description, if instructions are available, they will be there. Thanks. I did read the descriptions in the tool. I just can't see how to check in-game to see if the mod is configurable in-game, or in the case of the badge tracker mods, how even to pull them up in game. Anyone know how to do that? Is there any way to preview the sound-file change mods (given costume creator doesn't play powers sounds), or is it really just make a toon and test it?

Is there any way to preview the sound-file change mods (given costume creator doesn't play powers sounds), or is it really just make a toon and test it? That is difficult due to the restrictions that the Developers have placed on us here on Homecoming. Videos are not allowed. Once that restriction is lifted, I plan to make videos for all SFX Mods. Also, I just did a once0over on the badge mod and there it says to use a /popupmenu command. The command is "/popmenu BadgeList" As far as the Lightsaber Mod, I edited the last post, that edit should help answer that question. 1 SFX and Music Mods by Solarverse (Consolidated) WP/EM God Mode Tank Guide and Build Help Support the Return of Missing Code for Sound Files!

Cidri Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) I am having a simple download issue. When I follow the link in the first post and try to download from there, all I get is an empty CoH_Modder.zip file and a CoH_Modder.zip.part file. It seems the download is somehow interrupted. Perhaps the site has run out of bandwith? Edited November 6, 2020 by Cidri moar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurh35353 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Hmm. Tried to see if there was any sign of an update, but it looks like the download doesn't have a version number baked into the file name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I noticed something that I've never noticed before: See that warning?

_NOPE_ Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Okay, I don't know what this weirdness is, but I got around it for now by repackaging the application in a 7z format rather than a zip format. The link has been updated, and it appears to work from what I can see, but you'll need to get the freeware 7zip to unzip it though. Sorry for that. I'm out.

Just checked this out myself, it looks like @Solarverse somehow managed to upload both a version 8 and version 11 of his "Original Thermal Radiation" which broke the database. I've removed the duplicate older entry and it should now be working. Not sure how this happened, as I had "self-healing" code put in to fix things like this. I'll have to look into it further when I have move time. Solarverse, anything you recall that was unusual the last time you uploaded/updated that mod? Any info would help me troubleshoot the issue.

Interesting. One thing I have noticed is that from time to time, versions that I have recorded as being the latest version are somehow changed in the CoH Modder Tool. Example: Every so often I make notes on what latest versions I have available and then I update my page accordingly. A couple of weeks later I will go to update them again and notice that the versions I had previously recorded have changed to look something like this... Solarverse's Updated Mod List Week 1 Terminator SFX Mod (v11) Week 3 Terminator SFX Mod (v8) Even though I had on 1 week recorded a version of (v11) I will go to update again two weeks later and find that what used to be (v11) had been changed to (v8) I just chalked it up to human error and left it at that. However, since you are asking me if I have noticed anything out of the ordinary, that's all I got for you. I have not changed my methods of uploading new mods or my methods of updating mods. I just think it is more likely to happen to me because I do it more often and make new mods more often than most others. As far as that mod specifically, no...I don't recall anything being out of place or different with that specific mod. I did change the notes on it though. Maybe that is what caused it? I don't usually change the notes of a Mod when I update it, but this one I did change the notes on. That could have something to do with it. Also, as a side note: What if we want to change the name of a Mod? That particular mod covers more than just Thermal now, it actually covers all AoE Heals. Is there a way to change the name of a Mod without getting you involved?

I've just released a program update (v 1.65) where it should be fixed. The issue was that my "self healing code" was doing a comparison of the ModVersion alright, so that part was working correctly... doing *A* comparison. The problem was that the field was being treated like a STRING field rather than a NUMERICAL field. And in a string field, 8 > 11, because 8 comes after 1. So version 8 was being seen as a newer version than version 11, which is what caused the whole issue to begin with. Rookie mistake, and I'm mad at myself for it, ugh. Should be fixed now though: I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can of course load an existing mod into the Edit window and rename it, then re-upload. When you re-upload it'll be added to the database as a new entry with the new name. Then you just have to ask me to remove the old one. I want old mod removal to be a manual process, so that I make sure that nobody's doing anything cruel or mean, like wiping out all of the mods on the server. 2 I'm out.
