If i swap between two different yabbs with different mods installed i loose the information about the mods. I would suggest store this information in the yabb directory to enable swapping between installations without losing the information.

There are a few rules that have been laid down for Y2 mods, and I think it would be fairly simple for BoardMod to check some of those rules. First of all, obviously BoardMod would need to be able to figure out whether you're installing a Y2 mod or a Y1.x mod, but that should be simple enough. Then, BoardMod could check the mod to see if it includes an edit to the ModList.pl file. BoardMod could also check for any edits to existing language files. If the mod included edits to existing language files, or did not include an edit to the ModList.pl file, it should throw up a red flag saying something along the lines of "This mod does not conform to the YaBB 2 mod-writing specs. Please inform the mod's author at the BoardMod forums." You would then have a choice whether to continue installing the mod anyway, abort installation, or edit the mod to fix it yourself. \[...\] It might also be nice to make sure that the mod doesn't edit any files like Settings.pl, etc. \(since Y2 mods are supposed to have their very own settings files\), but that may take slightly more work than the other feature requests.

Idea: use diff and convert the output to the mod format.Michael PragerSat, 12 Mar 2005 17:50:30 -0000https://sourceforge.netdaa2980e8aa04330cf5f53ccf36177b7ef48086chttps://sourceforge.net/p/boardmod/feature-requests/21/I would love to see the option to have an OR and AND option in the mod format on language files like eg: <OR edit> <edit file> english.lng </edit file> english txt defs <edit file> dutch.lng </edit file> dutch txt defs <edit file> german.lng </edit file> german txt defs </OR edit> This allows a mod writer to have one mod for multiple languages \(without having to goto the cumbersome task of copying and translating a mod for each language\) Having a mod in multiple language \(one mod for each language\) makes updating of the mod code very task intensive as you need to fix/update code in every mod. As normally the code remains the same for each language this would significantly reduce the versions of mods hanging around, translated or not which would improve versioning controlAnonymousThu, 21 Oct 2004 14:53:13 -0000https://sourceforge.net0f5e3dfdc4efa40e66c7453fcc6536c808c5d710https://sourceforge.net/p/boardmod/feature-requests/20/The convention on Linux is that extracting a tarball named bm253.tar.gz will create a directory named bm253/ with other files within. It's extremely annoying to many Linux users when they occassionally come across a tarball that dumps everything in the current directory because if there were a lot of existing files already it can be extremely difficult to find and move the newly extracted files. Note that the open source release howto here on SourceForge makes this same point very strongly. Please create your tar files in the standard way that users expect. Using GNU tar: Standard way: tar -zcvf bm253.tar.gz bm253/ Annoying way: tar -zcvf bm253.tar.gz .

A few weeks later, somebody will see I have mod X and mod Y both installed, and will ask how I did it, as they can't get those mods to work together. And I can no longer remember. It might be nice for the person who does an installation and modifies the mod file to be able to do it to be able to add a simple note to themselves on what they did. This would be added to the mod file at the end in such a way it would not affect the adding or removing of the mod, but could be viewed in the mod editor to help one remember what they did. Up to you guys if this would be helpful or not, but I would think it would be something pretty easy to add ... no actual functioning to program, just the addition of a comment field for the person INSTALLING the mod, instead of the person WRITING the mod.
