Modloader TDS

[Dabbleh]

Modloader TDS (That Doesn't Suck) is a Python scripted tool for Legions: Overdrive, which drags the most recent updates of mods from FTP servers and installs them for you. Well, that's the plan anyway! At the moment I am finalising plans for how I will organise the whole thing and am getting to grips with a lot of modules I have never touched before.


Features I want to implement (in time):

• Uninstalls (Sounds easier than it is)
• Map Info

​

This is a long project, so don't expect anything too soon.

good luck? no, seriously, sounds cool, and a good idea too

 

[Voltage]

Yeah, sounds like a great idea man! Best of luck.

With this we might even be able to play some new maps in pugs.

Only if those maps are added to the server as well, which Stealth and a few others have control over.

Good luck

Cheers guys, check the blog for more in-depth detail on how it will work and look.

Only if those maps are added to the server as well, which Stealth and a few others have control over.

That's another thing I can script, to just drag all the maps and plop them into linux maps folder. Really easy.

This is awesome I'll be using this

 

[Dabbleh]

Double click mod to add to the selected mods.

 

[Belberith]

Double click mod to add to the selected mods.

There should be add and remove buttons for user friendliness, imo.

[Dabbleh]

Don't really know why I didn't think of that method before, the doubleClick SIGNAL was a pain in the ass. XD

EDIT: In other news, the Install button currently half works by downloading the chosen mods into a /data directory.

EDIT2: Getting awesome feedback on the blog, thanks to essencedigital.com.
