Way to combine mods?
-
Is there any easy way to combine multiple mods into one version of the powder game? More specifically, I'm looking for a way to combine the elements in each mod into one. I am not trying to steal anyones work, I just think it would be pretty cool to use multiple mods at once. I have no intent of posting this mod under my own name. If a majority of the community here wants me to post the mod here, I will be sure to give credit to any makers of the mods. In other words, I'm not a thief, so please no flame.
One idea I have is a program that would compare the data in the file that contains the code for the elements, finds the differences in the files, and insert any new code into the file. I would do this myself, but when it comes to coding, I don't know a byte from a bagel.
If that plan is not a possibility, then we could have a joint community effort of mod makers combine their work. Most of the mod makers probably remember where their code is, and a joint effort to combine the mods.
Sorry if this is a bit of a long shot, but If one of these methods would work we would have an amazing new mod that would almost certainly elevate what this program is to a level never before seen or anticipated. -
to combine mods is possible but it would take a lot of work. There have been some attempts to combine mods but it didn't work out so well, Powder-Sim is a group effort of mod makers to make a mod that has a lot of features. I am part of the developing team and the release is going to happen soon, but we keep on finding bugs we have to fix.

@vanquish349 (View Post)new bug btw, its too awesome xDtpt has an element limit, so combining all the mods is very hard
-
Oh yeah I've only recently heard about the limit of elements well what happens if it reaches the limit? Lagging or?

It happened to Dragonfree97 before they uped it from 127 to 255
It refused to compile, it kept giving an error. I can't remember what it is, but it's the same error as you get when you add in a life element without upping to count for the life elements -

I would be not too hard using git, but may cause bugs or features colliding... -
@MasterMind555 What is git? I just joined this community, so I have not heard about any tools. And as for the bugs, once all of the elements are combined it would probably take a group of modders only a moderate amount of time to fix any major bugs and remove unworking elements. I am not looking for perfection, just a start.
