Good Job! You just broke the only working deck manager

[kazzamo]

Mods break after patches. This is a fact with /every/ game pretty much. Sorry that the people trying to improve the game on the dev team don't stop and go "Oh well, there are mods now so lets never update and leave things as is."

Here it is so you can see it:

I've already told them that and gotten put on ignore because i was apparently wrong 0.o

Anyway here's a work round for the viper deck manager ....

in ~\The Secret World\Data\Gui\Customized\ , modify:
CharPrefs.xml and Modules.xml to include this line as line #2:
<!-- $Change: 315065 $ (must be within the first 200 characters of the file) -->

then copy Viper_DeckManager.swf to ~\The Secret World\Data\Gui\Default\Flash

However it won't help thelma because she put me on ignore, shame that.

Mods are generally in murky territory with MMOs anyway. While their deck manager doesn't yet work as intended, that doesn't mean every player should start using a mod that circumvents part of the game that they design.

I couldn't care more for other mods because UI is fine quite fine as it is... group UI need to be moved, but it okeyish, the others mods i've tried they were just hogging my resources a bit reducing the FPS, but the gear manager simply doesn't work.

i searched for the highest version check number which appear to be "310823", but the deck manger xml default files do not contain this string, an inserting it in the customized xml files won't make it work.

TL;DR

I want a working gear/deck manger

also:
- having deck management separated from the gear management is actually better, we could have both so we can sink money(i would prefer sequins, or special currency tokens indeed) in both

No worries, I've already been assured I'm a troll. Your bridge looked so lovely I had to dive in too.

Thanks! I hadn't been able to figure out what to change that line to.

You're welcome.

The important bit is moving the SWF file form customized to default, the bug is basically stopping it reading the customized folder.

It was what i was trying to tell people all along, but they just automatically jumped on the conspiracy theory bandwagon and started accusing FC of targetting them when it was simply a bug with a very simple workaround, i'm not sure if i will bother trying to help people any more, it's just not worth it.

Mods only work after a patch when the mod maker updates the mod... it isn't FC's fault... this goes back to AOC...

Much as i agree with you generally, there was a slightly different issue here on top of the normal revision change. They have accidentally created a bug that stops the game reading the customized/flash folder and using the default, a simple workaround is to copy the mods SWF files to the default/flash folder (make sure you backup the default ones!).

this!

and it would have been nice if they alerted anybody for finding a workaround, messing with the default folder is not a best practice at all.

I don't supposed there's a tweak we can make to bring back 1.0.1? :P
