Are we allowed to make a fixed version of UME&UL?

[ExDee_Regions]

I’m guessing that we can release but with crediting of the author

we can name it different we can make it work kinda different and yea we can credit the author!!

[alphabit]

If you can tell me in a nutshell what does work and not, what has changed an not, chances are quite good that I might sit down one of the next evenings and provide a version that works with the current version of the game.

Interested?

You’re back.

#I need to edit this cause i got flagged.

[Rex0099]

@awesomejuan36912 calm down…
I’d appreciate it @alphabit …
These are the changes to the modding API, not sure how relevant it will be though

fixed package.json

Edit: also dug out these posts which seem to point out issues, but again not sure how relevant

Can someone do something with @awesomejuan36912 before we lose a chance to patch UME/UL? @Charlie

@alphabit, I’ve noticed crashes on saving as well as enabling and disabling mods. Patrick made a few good points:

Is UltimateLib and the Ultimate Mod Editor broken?

There have not been any updates since the Steam Workshop release which would cause a mod to malfunction.

I suspect that most errors experienced by players are either when they disable a mod that was enabled on a save before (that pretty much guarantees a broken save) or when mod authors remove items from a mod (which also breaks past saves).

Anyway, my point is that there shouldn’t be anything fundamentally wrong with UME mods. If there is a feature that is completely broken, it was never exposed by anyone so far.

[awesomejuan36912]

fine i’ll edit it

[alphabit]

@Rex0099 @chizbejoe

Thanks guys. That should give me the desired overview

[ShadowedDeath]

Would you ever make UME open source? So if you ever go inactive again someone could patch it if there is any found bugs.

[Lukas_Schuurman]

I can’t take it anymore.

why you gonna facepalm?

[Lukas_Schuurman]

why you gonna facepalm?

Because i’m tired of all this bullcrap.

[ParadoxicalStratagem]

I have to be honest here, I was taken by surprise when I saw there might be a chance for UME and UL to be updated back into a functional state. I was mildly annoyed to find that a mod I had actually spent months making with that tool had been rendered broken because its code was no longer able to work with the current version of GDT, but in hindsight I’m actually kind of grateful it broke for a while since that event (combined with the fact that I’m going to be taking introductory programming in the future anyhow) was what inspired me to rewrite the code manually (with the help of the community, which I’m still grateful for). Ultimately I ended up gaining basic knowledge in Javascript and more understanding of coding logic which I appreciate.

Now that I hear there might be a chance that UME and UL might be updated (read: fixed), I’m looking forward to it immensely. I know none of my recoding efforts were invalidated, and I’m hoping I can use a functional version of UME again to add a second part to my mod with even more content like hardware researches, achievements, and possibly contracts.

Sorry for necro but, @alphabit are we getting a patched version of UME&UL anytime soon?

[Tyler_Moore]

Please, please please!

[ShadowedDeath]

I hope that he isn’t replying to us because he is very busy on working on the patch for UME.

[Lukas_Schuurman]

I hope that he isn’t replying to us because he is very busy on working on the patch for UME.

I don’t think that. I am not going to say he isn’t developing it; But if he doesn’t, I would do the same thing. I don’t need a fixed version, I would just wait for GHG’s next game.

[Tyler_Moore]

I would definantly like an official mod tool for GHGs next game.

[Uptown_Hoovy]

Same with me.
