expansion Sleheyron- Story Mode 2.0.3

@SAO1138 I've been chasing a bug report for the RC-K1CP mod and I've discovered that the cause of their problem is due to the current HoloPatcher installer setup for your own mod.

Here is the following text I fished out of the changes.ini file that is the culprit here.

Everything that is a module for Sleheyron is fine, it's the fact that you have vanilla module .MOD files alongside the Replace= function.

Assuming those are the vanilla module files compiled into the .MOD files, this exact setup is literally nuking the K1CP and RC-K1CP mods that are installed before Sleheyron as your modules are hard overwriting our modded .MOD files with unmodded .MOD files and are undoing all of the work these two mods have done for these modules. The user I was helping claimed that all of my restored content in danm13 didn't show up, no arguing master and apprentice, no Shuma etc.

It's late at night so I can't explain it in full detail now, though another modder might be able to help you if I'm unavailable, but you'll want to use the File= function instead of Replace= function.

Replace= will hard overwrite the .MOD file if it is already in the Modules folder whereas File= (File0=, File1=, File2= etc) will skip the .MOD file if a .MOD file of the same name is already present.

The correct way to have your setup is to use the File= function to check whether or not the .MOD is present. If it is present it will skip and if it isn't present it copies the vanilla, unmodified .MOD file into the Modules folder. After that, it injects files in like the .DLG files and/or patches files inside that .MOD file such as the .GIT file and such.

What I instead do is, because I'm lazy, force players to download the K1CP mod before all of my other mods. This way I can skip the whole File= function for the .MOD files as the .MOD files will already be present in the Modules folder via K1CP and I can instead inject and/or patch my files into the K1CP's .MOD files. As that mod is immensely popular and is a bug fix mod pack there isn't much reasons for players not to use it. You don't have to follow my method, but this is a possibility if you want an easy way out.

And can you also remove the old versions from the main download page? If you delete it from there, players can still download old versions by going to the "What's New in" section on the bottom, clicking on the "See Changelog" button, and for example if I press version 1.0.0 then a download button appears on the bottom.

This is VERY weird. While setting up the Patcher, I especially paid attention to this and made the modules changes myself. I'm 99% sure the changes.ini I handed to Sao was indeed with Replace for the new modules but File for the existing ones.

Anyway, if you're right and it really is like this, @SAO1138 can change it himself indeed, considering how easy it is.

Again, if this is genuinely what's in the ini, it's really odd.

Thank you! I had the same user write to me and I was going to reach out to you to see if you could guess what caused the incompatibility between our mods… you found me before I could contact you, so I really appreciate that.

I’ll get this fixed today. It’s just another rookie mistake on my part. 

I do apologize for nuking your modded content, even if it was just on a handful of modules. Ruining the work of fellow modders is definitely the exact opposite of what I wanted.
 

And yes, I can remove the old versions. I guess nostalgia for them was blinding me.

I should have mentioned this WAY earlier, but this mod replaces "Legal.bik" in the "movies" folder. Are there plans for a custom legal screen (similar to M4-78 EP) or was this simply a mistake?

If you had a bit more patience, you would have seen that it is actually a custom one. Although I have no idea why Sao kept the OG legal screen. Just wait until the basic one is done and you'll get a nice video.

Be nice lol

 But yeah Great_Exkaiser; I just combined the vanilla legal screens with a Sleheyron-specific cutscene.

Yeah I was being dumb. I usually just skip the pre-menu cutscenes so I didn't expect to have missed something.
