April 12th

Classic gown was done last week.
Finished a commission yesterday.
Working on a commission today. It looks like it shouldn’t take long.
T-Elos will begin sometime over the weekend.

Afterwards I’ll begin working on commission that goes public.

If I can do these fast, that should wrap the month, giving me time to work on Sword Maiden (finally) or convert some test mods into standalone.

========================================

I reinstalled my game!

This is now, my 8th time or so? I don’t know, but I’ve done it enough time that it doesn’t take me long.

My previous setup relied heavily on JSGME. My current setup uses a hybrid of JSGME and Henk’s modloader that comes with HSResolveMoreSlotID 1.1.

JSGME works by copying items insider the mod folder into the main game while making backups. This works good with anything that replaces the main files. So, I use this to install core items, like SBX, plugins, maybe some userdata entries.

Modloader can read abdata items as well as ggmod. Perfect for any everything else. So if you have 100 different folders with 100 different clothing mods, it can read all of it without you having to merge it all into a single mega abdata folder.

It’s not foolproof. There are certain mods that causes the game to not load the correct data, thus turning everything white. It probably has to do with the way those particular mods are structured…

If you haven’t used it, you might as well start now. It supports moreslotID and HiR without needing to patch anything.
You can even use it while your old mods are still installed.
If you find that it’s not for you, it can easily be removed.

This helps my modding workflow quite a bit; keep everything organized.
