As the title says, I have an old mod on my pc which I worked on a long time ago when we were still in the diplomacy 1.01 era. Is there a simple way to port my mod to 1.011 or do I need to do everything all over again?
Actually we are now at 1.2 but harpo99999 has made some tools that would help with this project.
actually there is only ONE tool needed,ie the mod updater, but I am still testing the updating of mods due to lack of time (RL caused)
and another that is also a almost essential ie mods manifest maker
the actual changes are the changed/added commands in a couple of the entities, (the removed entitys and added entitys, which can be handled by the manifest maker ) and the version number in the targetsinsver.txt file and the new convertdataDiplomacy1.2.exe( a copy of the current one from the game folder), so all in all the actual changes are not huge, just running two utilities one after the other, and the current release of the modding utility pack has all the files needed for all the utilities that I have written for sins and works for all mods converting from sins 1.15,entrenchment 1.00 & diplomacy 1.00 to sins 1.191,entrenchment 1.051 & diplomacy 1.011 but ONLY in the SAME expansion ie it CAN NOT convert a mod from diplomacy or entrenchment to vanilla or the other way, it is ONLY a mod UPDATE within expansion tool
if you want my utility pack it can be collected in this thread

converting everything to .txt and manually doing it works too. Just read the change log to figure out whats up. course, that takes a while.
that IS how the mod updater works, but I compiled the essential changes to the lines in the source and destination changes for each version, and the mod updater first copies the file from the old location to the new, then converts it to text with the OLD convertdata(if the file was in bin), then makes the changes,(and if the file was in bin converts it back to bin with the latest convertdata), then does the same for the next file in EACH of the mods that are in the mods-expansion v#.#### folder it was told to update
