Temporate .bat scripts for switching mods before modselect

FLOZi · Post by **FLOZi** » 22 May 2005, 03:25

I was thinking of doing it but these .bats have come a fair way.

It'd be Python or Java from me.

(and still be commandline

)

Actually i was thinking of making it support TA mods... but then Spring-specific mods would have to be under a different option due to how they are installed.

Why do you think batch file doesn't do the same as delphi?

Of course I could take C++ and write you a mod manager, but same time I could go and extend the lobby client with this ability... I'm just too tired on summer and have much to do. I also believe somebody else does that first, so I have no interest to write something more complicated now.

Nice work.

I was thinking maybe test.sdf rescue can be implemented into your bats..
then i realized it may be complicated adittion. but i will post it anyhow, maybe you figure something out...

ah.. i program i use that may bse usefull.

Indeed, you rather pipped me to the post!

Though I think a program to enable/disable TA mods in Spring might be useful development wise to find compatibility issues, but i wont be a competitor to you, as i have no interest in a gui

I will also enable unit switching, and perhaps map switching, as people seem to be running into gui limitations with too many maps, until this is fixed by the SYs.

Im rather tempted to do it in Java, as I haven't touched Python in several months, but this will probably require the JVM even if its distributed as an exe.

Please don't use java.

Not a fan?

i have a short (merely a weeklong!) module in C/C++ in a few weeks after my exams, but I don't know how proficient i will be after that.

80% of the syntax is the same between java and C++ if i recall correctly.
