Title: "Resource Manager"
Post by: VortexAlive on October 06, 2019, 08:47:05 pm
Sharing an idea that came out of a discussion a while back about the different ways maps can be installed.

A "Resource Manager" window.

It would allow you to modify the resources.cfg while being in-game.

The idea was mainly to allow enabling and disabling of lines in [UnofficialTerrains] by adding/removing a # at the beginning of a line like this:

and having downloaded maps in folders like this:

This can already be done out-of-game, the main thing here would be to 're-load' files while still playing the game and have an interface in the game so you can comfortably change which portals show up in Cape of Distant Worlds without having to close anything or tab away.

However, it being the resources.cfg, it could open more ways to freely customize the game. Example:
Changing which 'media' folder to load for different interfaces/music/map maker saves/anims/etc

So a new piece in the UI that affects the resources file?  That could very well be handy to people who can copy-paste files to folders & little else. 
"Animations
[X] normal feline
------------------------
[_]combat lion
[_]golden 2011
-------------------------
[_] normal canine
------------------------
[X]possesed 2018 canine"

"Maps at cape of worlds
----------------------------
[X] Lab
[_] sinister island
[X] secret hideout
[X] volcanic parkour"



That sort of thing?  I think i'd approve, seems sensible
