  • Customizing the installation "the right way"

    Hi,

    You can modify them in place in the text directory.
    [...]
    That's fine. When you performa 'git pull' it should leave your modified files alone unless they were modified upstream in which case you can 'git stash' your changes before the 'git pull' and then reapply your changes with 'git stash pop'.

    Okay, thank you! Then I'll do that.

    Regards,
    Anna

    Have you thought about possibly supporting mods/exec mods/text etc. That way people can keep their menus and js etc mods separate. That would allow for symlinking of text.

    As DM has said, mods is already the equivalent of mods/exec. And
    for your text files, particularly the menus, what I'd do is just
    create another subdirectory under your text/menus and put your
    own menu screens in there for use with your own command shell..
    I don't think it's necessary to have another mods directory for
    that.

    What I do is run a script to copy all my customized stuff from various directories to a "safe_copies" directory, before an update. Then,
    after the update, I run another "restore" script to put all that
    custom stuff back where it belongs. Easy.



    ... My best pigeon dodged hawks and farmer's guns to bring you this.
