AMUMSS-3.9.0W
This version automatically connects to monkeyman192/releases to retrieve MBINCompiler.exe and libMBIN-dotnet4.dll
NEW in Version 3.9.0W :
- AUTO-HANDLING of MBINCompiler.exe version required by 'Public' or 'Experimental',
- no more need to use 'OPT_CustomMBINCompiler.txt' unless you are using an older version of NMS files
- CHANGED: AMUMSS will automatically check and ask before updating to the latest version of MBINCompiler.exe
- REMOVED: File 'xOPT_CustomMBINCompiler.txt' - depricated due to above change
- OPTIMIZED: Conflicts detection speed x10
- ADDED: AMUMSS will now decompile MBIN files to ModScript\EXMLFILES_PAK when put in ModScript
- ADDED: Handling of .EXML files in MBIN_FILE_SOURCE (reading them as .MBIN instead)
- ADDED: Decompiled PAK and MBIN files will have the current EXML files in ModScript\EXMLFILES_CURRENT
- to help modders in comparing with the current version of EXMLs
- ADDED: WARNING when VALUE_CHANGE_TABLE looks like a malformed table of tables
- ADDED: Renaming of EXTERNAL_FILE_SOURCE using FILE_DESTINATION (path+filename) in ADD_FILES (see Script_Rules.txt))
- ADDED: REPLACE_TYPE option ADDafterLINE to ADD text after the current LINE (default behavior)
- ADDED: REPLACE_TYPE option ADDatLINE to ADD text at the current LINE and automatically overwriting it (no need to REMOVE the line)
- REMOVED: WARNING about files not being from NMS PCBANKS paks when already in MODBUILDER\MOD folder
- UPDATED: EXTERNAL_FILE_SOURCE can now be a 'full path' or a path 'relative' to the ModScript folder in ADD_FILES (see Script_Rules.txt))
- UPDATED: MODBUILDER\Extras\MBINCompiler_OldVersions folder
- UPDATED: Lines with a value like a filename (???.MBIN or ???.xml for example) are now accepted as SPECIAL_KEY_WORDS
- UPDATED: Lines with a value like 'True', 'False' or a number are now accepted as SPECIAL_KEY_WORDS
- Note: These types SHOULD be used with EXTREME CAUTION, HG could easily changes to values!!!
- UPDATED: 'NMSPE' (NMS PCBANKS Explorer / Unpacker), a tool to UNPACK any file in any pak of NMS PCBANKS to your chosen UNPACK folder AND browser of libMBIN.dll
- ADDED: NOTE about path to AMUMSS folder that should not 'feature' accented characters. They should be REMOVED for proper operation
- Best practice is to use an AMUMSS folder like X:\AMUMSS
- IMPROVED: Handling of failure to clean some working folders: providing feedback to the user instead of becoming unresponsive
- ADDED: Option to append MOD_AUTHOR at end of pak file (when MOD_AUTHOR starts with a '+') (Gumsk's request)
- ADDED: LUA_AUTHOR (no other use then specifying who created the script)
- ADDED: Handling of AMUMSS folder path containing "()" and "+"
- ADDED: Handling of 'long' mod path
- EXCLUDED: .txt files from Conflict Reporting
- ADDED: file '_DateTimeFormat.txt' in AMUMSS main folder to allow re-defining DateTime formatting
- Note: that the DateTime format will be 'sanitized' when used in a file name as per Windows convention!
- CHANGED: Some 'WARNING's are now 'NOTICE's
