Mod Clash Detection

[peardox]

Can ppl see https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/103384-tutorial-modding-basic-concepts/ or my first mod for details but it will be easier for me to automate this if everyone has a manifest.json

 

Make sure you make the author field your forums handle

 

Righto - this is by no way complete but I can now check for mod clashes

 

This is all GUID-based and I've not finished the DB yet but it's complete enough to find our major issue

 

Vendor Clash

 

I can tell if two mods are using the same vendor (@kilay)

If you add a manifest.json to your mod I have more info to go on

 

This will all become clear in a few days when I tune the system - got an interview in 2 hours so not today

 

I will also be checking for external GUIDs - while extremely unlikely it is not impossible for a GUID generator to give you the same GUID as something already assigned. The maths make it like a 0.0000000001% chance - yeah, never had that happen...

 

Something I've been promising in-group is a site that checks an unpublished mod - I hope to get to that soon as well
