NRK ModSelector
Upgrade for "SELECT MODS" menu.
Key features:
filters for the list of loaded mods; assigning your custom tags to mods and searching for it; saving a lists of included mods; ability to enable/disable the mod in all saves; read and show more information from mod.info
More details:
"BACK" button discards all changes; "ACCEPT" button applies all changes and start reload lua (even if there were no changes).
Panel with filters and search:
– button "Show all mods" resets all filters, but not search;
– when reload lua, panel is reset to default state.
List of mods:
– be careful with "To favorites" and "Remove from favorites": after clicking "ACCEPT", favorite mods will be enabled in all saves; mods removed from favorites will be disabled in all saves;
– icons are read from mod.info; image will be scaled to line-size (which depends on the font size); if no icon is assigned, the map-icon will be used for mods containing maps, and the "piece of cake" icon for all others;
– mod states are written in brackets after the name, as well as displayed by a marker near icon and color of the text.
Panel with preview:
– if the image is one, then it will be stretched to the entire panel (saving aspect ratio);
– if there are several images, then it can be leaf with mouse-wheel or clicking the side previews; clicking on central image will stretch it to fit the panel.
Info panel:
– can display description of the mod in current language – for this in mod.info file need <LANG:XX> command (XX – language code)
– the rest of the information is placed in the collapsible block "Extra info"; besides mod-ID and require-list, from mod.info reading lines "modversion", "pzversion", "tags", "authors";
– under the collapsible block there are links to local files of the mod, steam page and address specified in mod.info file in line "url";
– at the very bottom – the button for editing custom tags that will be saved in the file (homedir)/Zomboid/Lua/saved_modtags.txt.
Saving lists of enabled mods:
– file (homedir)/Zomboid/Lua/saved_modlist.txt is used;
– four preset lists: "Disable all mods" and current actives lists (global, last save and current save, if you went from the "SELECT SAVED GAME" panel);
– mods marked as favorites ignore selection from this list (that is, "Disable all mods" is disable all mods, except for favorites).
Notes:
– mod works instead of original ModSelector.lua file
– gamepad is almost not supported – only "BACK" and "ACCEPT" buttons (does anyone need this?)
– button "Map Mod Priorty Order" removed – I did not find anything that would make it available (if it is still needed – write me how and where it should work)
