Upgrading mods between game version
Feel free to start it, and don't worry about perfection - other editors can make corrections if necessary. Just get creating!
This page should describe the process of upgrading mods between different game versions (e.g. from 0.23 to 0.25).
The changelog should also be present, but only changes related to modding and with more details (e.g. new fields X were introduced for component Y, they do Z). Maybe even a full file diff for Data
between different game versions, with comments on what the changes mean?
Other things to add:
A guide on how to install particular Cosmoteer versions using beta versions and Steam depots for specific versions not present on beta list.
This can be useful if you want to see what's actually changed for yourself.
For instance, this is a method of viewing all changes that were made to Data
dir between versions:
- Copy the game's
Data
to some dir. Lets call that dirDiff
. - Init a .git repo inside
Diff
. - Downgrade the game to a version where your mod works.
- Remove the
Data
dir that was added toDiff
. - Copy the
Data
dir from the downgraded game. - Now you can observe all changes in the diff editor!
