VCMI Launcher : Submod managing

International board Help & Bugs
#1

Hi, I’m making 2 optional sub-mods that I don’t want to be enabled by default by people who download my mod.

Is there a way to make a submod disabled by default on VCMI Launcher ?

  • If yes, how should I proceed ?
  • If not, could developers consider adding this feature ?

“keepDisabled” : true,
Your Refugee mod downloadable from the launcher has disabled wog submod in such way.

Also, if you are making compatibility patch for your mod to work nicely with other mods, you can use

"modType" : "Compatibility"

Mods of this type are hidden in Launcher and are enabled automatically if player uses all mods listed as dependencies.

So if you have submod with

"modType" : "Compatibility",
"depends" : [ "wake-of-gods.creatures"]

It will be automatically enabled only if player uses your mod and “wake-of-gods.creatures”, without need for manual turning submod on or off.

Thanks, that’s what I was looking for.
I made a feature as requested by someone, but it causes a known issue that cannot be fixed.
