Topic: some one should write a something for mod switching

for me its tedious to rename my game.png and then rename a mod.png some one should write a script or some thing that would stream line switching between mods (i'm not a programmer)

my name is NOT clasic_traveller_die its CLASIC_TRAVELLER_DIEHARD classic traveller is a si-fi rpg from the same era as dungens and dragons lookit up on wikipedia smile

Re: some one should write a something for mod switching

I could probably do something simple in python (or bash if you don't want a gui or non-linux compability). Could you describe a bit more what you had in mind?

you got the game.png in data/, right? how about a program that looks for png-files in data/mods/ and just do a bit of copy/pasting?

(note, I haven't said that I _will_ do this)

Tee. Code. Offbeat.

1. Make a copy of the original game.png and call it: game.pn_
2. Create the following batch file:

mod.bat
copy %1 game.png
teewars.exe
copy game.pn_ game.png


3. Drag and drop the mod you want to play onto the batch file (mod.bat) ... enjoy!
