A Universal MLF Controls File

Afforess · Aug 6, 2009

I think if us Modmoder's could create a universally used and supplied MLF Controls file we could save users a lot of hassle, confusion and frustration. Here's a prototype. If I didn't include entries you feel we need, just post them. If we can all agree on this, then every modmoder should include the universal MLF in their download.

Modders, if you need an entry added, please request it in this thread. Also, if you need your entry re-ordered (Order matters in WoC, later modules with the same date overwrite earlier modules.), please post here in this thread.

Here's the contents of the file:

Newest Addition(s) for Revised Gamespeeds

Version 1.10 (12/5/09)

Sarkyn · Aug 7, 2009

*emphatic nod*

gregac · Aug 12, 2009

flamesofphx
(my mods directory)

quibing · Aug 12, 2009

O, nice work! I use it, in my next version =)

Afforess · Aug 12, 2009

Updated for Gregac (I hope that's the right directory. If it isn't just tell me) and Generalstaff's Wonders.

Afforess · Aug 26, 2009

Please, if you need your modmod added to the list, tell me. I don't always have the time to hunt down every modmod.

Updated for Unofficial 2.8 Patch.

Read my reply to your comment in my unofficial 2.8 modmod.
Thanks for your hard work!
I appreciate it!

Sure thing. I have released Modular Civics Buildings, so please add to the UMLF

Code:

				<Module>
					<Directory>Modular Civics Buildings</Directory>
					<bLoad>1</bLoad>
				</Module>

Afforess · Aug 27, 2009

Updated!

os79 · Aug 28, 2009

I think you should ask Zappara and then moderator to make this a sticky thread as well

.

Schwarzbart · Aug 28, 2009

Wouldent it be good to have this direct in the Turturial Thread for MLF?

Sure, I can link this thread in my tutorial.

JosEPh_II · Aug 30, 2009

I missed something.

If I try to add this, it wants to overwrite zappara's 10k CIV4Modular....file with this 3.95k file.

If I do this what kind of problems will I create for myself?

What is the correct path?

JosEPh :/

Afforess · Aug 30, 2009

None. I still included the entries necessary for Zappara's stuff, at least what's in the modules folder. I just expanded on it...

JosEPh_II · Aug 30, 2009

So you're telling me this smaller Control file will over write zappara's larger Control file and that this is OK?

Sorry for being dense, but I want to make sure.

JosEPh

No, no it's a legit question.

Long Story: When Zappara merged WoC lite into RoM, he just took their MLF files and added his own changes to the bottom, which resulted in a big file. Later, he deleted all the entries that were not important. This resulted in a smaller file, with only the essential entries. My Universal file is based upon the essentials file, with only the needed entries, plus the modmoder's entries.

Short Story: Yes, replace the big one with the small one, it will work fine.

JosEPh_II · Aug 31, 2009

OK! Thanks.

strategyonly · Sep 1, 2009

EDIT: My mistake, didnt see posted item? :blush:

You need to put in the first post what it contains and what has been updated, this is just my opinion.

Um, no offense, but I HAVE. From day 1, you can see the contents of the entire file, and the recently updated!

Please read more carefully.

JosEPh_II · Sep 1, 2009

I didn't realize that once I replaced the files that I would have to start a new game.

:noob:

That's what I get for being "old and slow.......". :rolleyes:
