Merging Improvements to A Great Concept #23

Closed Morabert closed 12 months ago

Morabert commented 1 year ago

Hello!

The Merging Function is great, at least conceptually (I getting it to work & bypass a CTD has thusfar eluded me, but that's not why I'm here!)

May I Suggest Two Things that I believe Greatly Improve it's Effectivity & Wide-spread Adoption?

1: Interface to Edit Merged bundles, with these qualities;

A) Clean & Clear "Show/Print"for the Merge's Modlist Function, as seeing what The Merged bundle contains is more work than just a Do-Over presently. Perhaps somehing akin Regular Modlist Organize Fields in the "Show/Print" function so that putting them A-Z, searching for a mod, etc is a simple & clear process. (This is esp. Important if some mods in the list need to have Order Precedence in order to boot)

B) The Ability To Simply & Easily Add or Subtract Mods from Merged. Some stuff breaks, some stuff isn't needed & some stuff needs to be put in. (Having to re-build an 80 mod merge and remember all that is nyte-mareee)

C) Some form of simple "Print/Compile/Merge" modlist command that's transferable from player to player. Getting my bro to even migrate to the Much Better, Smoother & More Capable & More Elegant option of the illustrious Shazbot WH3MM Special was already, I know as BaseGod as as my witness there is not possibility of dragging him through the broken glass of telling him, even through SS's, which ones to merge. My guess is probs for a lot of multiplay/co-op this is a thing (he was like "just make another meticulous & tedious collection on steam, like you did last time that I didn't use and had to do over again cause I changed factions and didn't tell you" and I was like: "...........BOOOI-")

Anyhow, thanks for the great Mod Manager, it's one of my favorites, this is right up there with the good minecraft launchers in terms of UX/UI & viability of product

as the mod limit is removed and that's the only point of merging mods, I currently don't have any immediate plans to touch the merge functionality
