Smash forgets all custom rules and behaviors after smashing #223

Open Delgathar opened 6 years ago

Delgathar commented 6 years ago

After I create a smash patch, smash sets everything to smash.all or smash.all.mod and adds all mods back to the smashed patch. Custom rules are replaced with smash.all. Skips are re-added to the smash patch. And mods that were manually removed from the patch, with or without a skip, are re-added to the smash patch.

You are using wrong button. Don't press play, but wrench took.

That play is there for less experienced first time users.

Wrench tool just opens custom rules. Hammer tool works the way it used to, but there is no mouseover or help file that mentions that the → will clear my setup. Also, the → is not in the GP video tutorial. There is no mention of it on the Nexus forums or mod page, nor the readme or even a button tooltip. Also, the arrow is not the standard "Play" which is a triangle. Arrows usually indicate "Next" or "Previous".

I'd call this a lack of documentation. Even if it did have a "play" tooltip, there is no reason for a user to expect the settings to be cleared. If nothing else, it is not as intuitive to the user as perhaps intended.

Thank you.
