Are there many mods in active development?

[Jamie550]

I ask because if there are, then a modding tool that I usually develop for games may come handy for them, which can catch many classes of errors in data files. I don't feel particularly like buying the game to find out if I needed to get the game in the first place or not :/

[Selenimar]

There's one mod in progress, which touches everything from campaign setups to events and buffs up economy (or rather adds one). That's the only mod...

Chatnoir17 would likely appreciate it if you made the validator work for Sengoku. Could you use the demo for that?

No mod forum privileges, etc. would be a problem.

Though any work would have to wait at least until next week as I'm terribly busy this week.

Pleased do provide the validator! would make the life of chatnoir much more cosy.

If it makes you feel any better about purchasing it, Sengoku is fun to play. If you have the spare time to check out a mod, Chatnoir's work is worth it.

I second Mr. Manring's comments. Sengoku is a simple, fun game to play. It keeps to its focus on warfare very well.

Working on a mod / bug fix at the moment. Fixes for missing event messages etc, tidying up the grammar and spelling in the localisation files (for English Lang only I'm afraid). Also changed some map textures, bump maps, added a new higher res map font - looks sweet, realigned some parts of the interface to center icons etc properly... Some other bits and bobs including new children portraits, sounds for messages etc etc. Still got a lot of lines of text, and event code to check though.

That's great Jace11! What about joining forces with chatnoir when you get around with it?

[Def Zep]

Sounds great, Jace11! The centering improvement looks especially nice.

Give us a notice when it's done. I'll take a break from my CK2 campaign to try it out.

[Jamie550]

Okay, it seems there is some amount of interest. So how about this. If you are a mod creator interested in this, send me a PM with a screenshot of your mod's first post (and your username would need to be the author of the first post, or otherwise be mentioned as a significant collaborator). If I get 3+ PMs, I will start working off the demo version and sending PMs to those who PMed me with updates and stuff, and you'd send me PMs with bug reports and issues and what differs between demo and real.

Does this sound workable?

Note that I probably won't be able to start work for at least a week or two. Also could someone give me a link to the demo?

There is a sticky called demo right above this thread

OK Jamie, I'll notify chatnoir. Thank you.

Hallo Jamie,
thanks for your programs. I am using your works for EU3, and it is very useful for all modders. I am glad to hear that you are willing to make a Sengoku program.

However, I am bit worried about your suggestion. If you don't own the game but only the Demo, you and we testers can't truly share workable and unworkable things of the program. In addition, we contact per PMs, it means testers can't discuss with each other about your program in the mod subforum.

Despite of these disadvantages, I would join to this project. If you wish, I will make a thread for your program.

Yes, if you think a thread would be useful then go ahead and make it. Though thus far I have received no PMs with evidence of modding, so maybe wait on that until it is confirmed that there is sufficient interest.

It would be useful to get a patch for Sengoku, but I suppose that would be not allowed?

Oh, I thought my interest is already confirmed by some kind posters above.

[Hister]

There are currently two active modders on the scene and possibly some others who haven't went public

[Jamie550]

-_- $9 on gamersgate, too much of a bargain

I guess I'll take a peek in the mod forum soon

But in any case, it'll be a bit of time I suspect

[Jamie550]

Instead of doing one of a million things I actually need to do, I decided to work on the Validator for Sengoku

Well, go here to download an early version: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...-minimal-pain!

Great!
