Default [REL] JTxE - Textenabler to merge lines in ini-Files

All Modders knows the problem that some Mods will conflict with other Mods because of using the same dds-File or ini-File.

JTxE will be the solution to solve this problems.



It will act as the same way JSGME do, but it will change only lines in ini-Files.

The idea is to write the necessary lines in an extra Mod.ini-File and put this file an the Folder Ini_Mods ( like the Mods-Folder from JSGME).
JTxE need to be installed in the Silent Hunter Main Folder like JSGME - the ini_Mods Folder also.




This Mod.ini-Files needed an special form.



The "targetfile=" Line -> the path and name of the ini that should be changed.
There can be several targetfiles in one Mod.ini.

The chapter-line -> is marked by Brackets [] . If there is no Chapterline JTxE will search in the lines before the first chapter of the targetfile.

The targetline -> For this line JTxE will search in the chapter (like: "Mat 0 =" or "Zone=")
All writen behind the = will be changed.

There can be several targetlines and several Chapterlines in one Mod.ini

JTxE will hold a logfile, and therefore will be able to noticed if a Mod tried to change the same line as another Mod has done before.
JTxE will ask you to overwrite. But with the stored logs you will be able to deinstall all Mod.ini's.

The easiest way will be to add an Ini_Mods Folder to your Mod with the graphical changes and made it JSGME ready.



The user has first to install via JSMGE.exe and than the Mod.ini via the JTxE.exe.

1. Link to JTxE V1.0a -> http://jimimadrid.bplaced.net/Download/JTxE.exe

You can add to your Mod different Mod.ini Files to let the user select beetween different graphical changes in one Mod.


Modders try JTxE out and you will see the new possibilities you can get with this tool.

Thanks to leovampire for testing and holding hands.
