[REL] JSGME v2.0.0 now available!

JScones · 10-22-07, 09:55 PM

JSGME v2.0.0 is now available from http://jonesoft.jaennahre.com or via JSGME's Update feature.

Changes:
- Now records a snapshot of mod files at the time of enabling and disables based on that snapshot
- Now warns when a mod adds new folders that were added by previously enabled mods
- Now supports importing of mods through drag and drop from Windows Explorer, Desktop etc (not supported under Microsoft Vista)
- Added ability to rename mods by selecting and pressing F2
- Added ability to create new mod folder names by pressing F7
- Now plays a sound when enabling or disabling has completed
- !BACKUP folder now has hidden attribute
- Now deletes mods to the Recycle Bin
- Snapshot and comparison files now saved to MODS folder
- Improved system message handling
- Many code enhancements

The first change is the most important and what constitutes the new major version number.

JSGME now maintains an install log whenever a mod is enabled, meaning that you can do whatever you like to the source files afterwards (including deleting the mod altogether) and JSGME will still correctly disable the mod (just remember though that if you do modify a mod's source files after enabling, those files won't appear in-game until you disable and re-enable the mod

). So no more game corruption caused by deleting enabled mods from your hard drive!

INSTALLATION
Prior to installing v2.0 it is imperative that you disable all current enabled mods. Not doing so will corrupt the running of JSGME and hence your game. Once you've disabled all mods (check your !BACKUP folder too for any residual files), simply install this version over the top and resume using as you normally do. If you have a lot of mods installed, create an activated mods list first so that you can remember the order in which to re-enable then.

NB: If when you run this version for the first time it displays activated mods, then unfortunately you are a victim of the self-inflicted "oops". In other words, at some stage you've manually deleted or renamed a mod while it was still enabled. Unfortunately, JSGME v2.0 can not fix existing instances of this problem, so before continuing you'll need to determine the impact and manually correct (either reinstall the mod on your computer and disable through your previous version of JSGME, or manually remove the files from your game and then disable the entries via the new version of JSGME).

If you use a language pack, please download the updated version from http://jonesoft.jaennahre.com Pls note that some updated packs are not yet available - they will be uploaded as soon as possible. You can continue to use your current language pack in the meantime.

Please note that if you have created a snapshot, then you will need to manually move 'JSGME file snapshot.txt' from the game's root folder to the MODS folder as JSGME now writes to the MODS folder. This is a once only requirement.

I'd like to express my thanks to the numerous testers who have been testing out the various builds over the last few weeks. Your input has been greatly appreciated and helps make JSGME that little bit better.

Nice work Jscones!

I especially like that you've kept the layout very similar (if not identical) - it'll make life for simpletons like myself much easier

i_b_spectre · 10-23-07, 05:53 PM

I'm still a newb at such things, but if I use the JSGME Update feature while I'm in the middle of war patrol (career saves), is there any downside to installing the update while not in port?

Oh, and thanks so much for your work JScones
