ModMerger
"Keep your hands off my source (files)!"

ModMerger framework aims to provide an example for modders to keep their modded contents out of original source files and out of each others' contents so that 0-config porting to newer game versions or mixing non-conflicting mods can be possible. (even where not, probably less effort to do actual port, once set up that is)

Instructions:
Note: Before anything, backup your existing files!!!
Make sure your current build has no prob (build_module.bat can build the module successfully)

1) download, extract and place all the files in the module system directory
2) execute "modmerger_installer.py". If you have .py files properly associated with python, you just have to double click it in file explorer
3) there is a simple menu, read and respond.

Immediately after "installation", run your build_module.bat to see if anything is broken. If not, you should be good.


Current "MM-modpacks"

• eXtended Game Mechanics: Item Powers (also by me. it's my demo/1st experiment)
• eXtended Game Mechanics: Mod Options
• motomataru's formations (aka Battlefield Tactics Kit) The forum thread for the mod is here.
• rubik's all items presentation, original thread here.(updated for 0.2.2)

0.2.5: hotfix
+ Fixed more bugs with process_script_directives which was passing the wrong directives to OpBlockWrapper.FindLine, causing remove and replace operations to fail.

0.2.4:
+ Fixed bug in util_scripts:process_script_directives which was calling OpBlockWrapper.RemoveRange instead of OpBlockWrapper.RemoveAt for removal or replacement directives.

0.2.3:
+ Fixed bug with mission_templates's variable list for vanilla versions.
+ Fixed error with vanilla for missing info_pages and postfx modules.
+ Fixed use of map without assignment in header file.
