Thoughts on drama in the modding scene

There are many mod creators who are selling mods on platforms like Patreon. In an ideal world, I'd like to see mods be completely free and available to everyone, but the reality is that making mods is a lot of work and mod authors are spending thousands of hours creating their mods. So I find it understandable some modders want to monetize their work, especially if they're in a rough financial situation.

I don't see anything wrong with the above, but what is wrong are people st...

Manually overriding category selection for a mod via the modinfo.ini

Fluffy Mod Manager has a category system for several games where it tries to scan assets for a mod to figure out what category it belongs to. Rarely, it might get it wrong and assign the wrong category for a mod. A mod author can override the automatic selection by adding line like this to the modinfo.ini:

  • category = !Characters > Rebecca

That makes it so the mod manager will always place that mod into the "Rebecca" category rather than trying to automatically tryin...

Prince of Persia - Dropped input fix

I made a PR for SDL-PoP that fixes a rather major bug that can result in dropped input. The game runs at 12fps most of the time which means an 83.333ms interval between gameplay ticks. If you press down and release a key within that interval, the input gets ignored. I fixed up the input code so that bug doesn't happen anymore (make sure to go into Settings->Gameplay and turn on "Enhanced mode" for the fix to take effect).

There's not a new release of SDL-PoP with my fix yet, but I di...

New Resident Evil 8 patch breaking trainers

Resident Evil Village got a patch today, it's likely the version they're using for the DLC that's being released in less than two weeks.

With this version, they added new anti-tamper code that scans for changes to the game made in memory and then makes the game quit if changes are detected. This makes the RE8 trainer in my mod manager no longer compatible.

I'll look at this situation again once the DLC is out, but I'm thinking I'll simply retire my RE8 trainer (I'll probably still...

Star Wars: Jedi Outcast - FluffyMod with Various Quality-of-Life changes

This is a project I did recently. I wanted to make a few changes to the game before playing through it, and then things went out of hand and I did a lot of changes. The biggest changes include better widescreen support (by the default the game stretches everything), better-looking shadows, support for tweaking weapon values, and some other stuff.

Mod status after RE2, RE3, and RE7 patches

The ray-tracing patches are out for RE2, RE3, and RE7 on PC now. Unfortunately, it looks like practically all mods are no longer compatible. I think the cause is a change in filenames.

I'll spend some time trying to figure this out tomorrow. If the cause is only due to changes in filenames, then it shouldn't be a ton of work to fix. But if they've done changes to formats, then it'll be much more annoying.

Update: They've updated engine and that means a bunch of formats have change...
