That's fine by me, but the only issue with that will be using the auto update feature in 7H. If new versions are released, they will never know unless they visit the forums regularly. Then we will have to deal with the silly questions of "XXXX mod has YYYY issue, how do I fix it?" when an update may have already fixed it.

I get the need for manual downloads though :)

7h should treat both manually installed & downloaded mod the same.. For now when you manually installed a mod and you looked at the catalog.. you will see the same mod still available for download even if its already installed..

Could it be the filename?? because for example.. if you manually installed a mod it will be named lj;lkj;ljlkj;lkjlk;lkj;lkj_Battle_Models_Characters_1.0 instead of just Battle Models Characters 1.0
Some kind of a file check will help 7h to determine if a file was already installed..

Anyways, thats another lot of work i imagine.. Looking forward to 7h 2.0.. kudos sir/madam

The proper way to manually install an IRO is to use the Import button in the Library tab after you have downloaded the IRO from an upload site. Doing this will make a duplicate copy of the mod inside the Library Location you set for Workshop -> Settings and it will be labeled properly inside 7H. Once that happens, you can delete the IRO download to conserve space, but if you ever uninstall the mod from within 7H, then you won't have a copy of the IRO to Import. It will have to be downloaded again.

If you download the IRO and directly place it into the Library Location you set for Workshop -> Settings, then 7H will read the mod in the Library tab the next time you open 7H. It will show up as IDTag_ModName_ModVersion as you described. This is not the preferred way though.

What I need to see is if Update Patches can use the Import button to properly patch and update a mod. This is the main function for having the Catalog, and I do not know if it works manually. If it doesn't, this means that every update will have to have patches made for the Catalog and full versions made for manual downloads. That is a really annoying process to do manually if all I have to offer is a bug fix for a mod that is very small in size, but the mod itself may be very large.

It's madam :)

Oh.. a techie lady bee.. nice to make your acquaintance madam :)

Actually what i did was... Since i was planning to do a clean install and reinstall everything.. I backed up my downloaded .iro files in my library folder (they are already named idtag_modname_version) and i import those file using the Import IRO in the Library tab of 7h..
 
Just a though will this be compatible with windows 10, I can not think why it should be but when I get windows 10 at the end of the month I was planning to install it on that as fresh installation.
 
Hey I got a thought, when this 1.35 new threat gets released with the new version of 7th heaven will it come with all the hot fixes as well. Also should the mod need more updates when released with 7th Heaven is released how will we go about updating it, in the usual manner via an installation from you or an update via 7th heaven mod.

Yes, it will come with the current flevel/scene hotfix. Whenever there is an update to a mod, the Download button will turn into a Update button the Catalog tab. The window on the ride-side will also tell you when a mod has an update. If you right-click the green Installed button in the Library tab, you can set Update Types for each of the mods.
 
Huh, I never really knew that.  Usually I just have it on update automatically. Assuming it'll just be downloading the updates whenever I run it.

Thank you very much for that good to know it is done through 7th heaven makes things a lot easier. :D
 
The To-Do List has been updated for now. Let me know if anything was missed.

What are your thoughts on adding a drop-down selection for each music file? This would let you mix and match music files from different authors and pick what you like best.
 
NEAT :) Im holding my strong urge to re-play this game.. until your new version of 7h is released.. so that i can have a better immersion..

I'l give my 2 cents on the new version when i get my hands on it.. For now.. Good Job sis EQ2Alyza.. Keep 'em coming..  :mrgreen:

I love that idea of a drop down section for the music mod good idea. Please add that thank you very much. What is the problem with the 60fps battles mod does it conflict with something else.

How does mod updating go? All my mods continue "Installed", however, I got the impression there are new ones and updates, at least according to the To Do. I've updated the catalog but everything continues as it was.

Same. There's no update for me either.

The Catalog hasn't been updated since December 2014. The next update will show in the Tutorial thread, not here. I am just reporting here what requests I've worked on and have ready for the next update.
 
Any ETA of when the catalog will be updated? Worried that NT 1.4 will be out before I play 1.3 =/
