Author Topic: How to Alphabetize Add-on List?  (Read 3721 times)

When I go to create a custom game, my add-ons list is all jumbled. I would prefer them to be alphabetized (for obvious reasons). Here's a glance at what it looks like on my end:



Ew...

I post this in the General Discussion instead of Modification Help because I assume there is probably some option I have to enable that alphabetizes the add-ons list, or possibly some button I am missing.

However, in searching for a solution (to no avail), I found a post that said it may have something to do with the way the Linux filesystem works (https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=280700.0). Hence, it may be pertinent to mention that I am running Blockland on Ubuntu through Wine.

Hopefully someone has a solution. If not, I could probably cook up a script on my own.

does this happen with vanilla install no client mods? odd...
if thats the case you'll probably have to make your own script to reorder it. by default its alphabetized, at least on windows

Linux does not have a sort system like Windows/Mac does.

Someone did make a script to fix the order, when I get home I will post a link, unless someone else does.

Yup. Tried it with and without a fresh install. Neither is alphabetized.

That would be much appreciated. I tried making a script last night, but couldn't figure out how to properly modify CustomGameGui::CreateAddOnListGui. There's probably a better angle to approach it from.

Bump.

You got that link yet, Kyuande?



Mine are always in alphabetical order. What client addon do you have? They may have an effect.

its not client addons, its linux. seems like for some the filesystem is a bit screwed.

it sounds like you can probably manually fix this by fixing the ordering of the addons in server/add-onsList.cs or whatever that file is named.

Mine is already ordered in there too.

I tried it with a fresh install. Same thing.

I tried this and it didn't work :(
Alright. I fixed it: https://leopard.hosting/download.php?f=gbdvt&name=Support_FixAddonSorting.zip

It just had a couple minor problems. I tested it with all my preferred add-ons installed. It worked for me. Tell me if it works for you.

It didn't, but I think its because I'm using BLG hosting- I can't execute client scripts cuz I can't launch the client.
