Character mod helper

by Pi-C

If your mod lets players use a character that looks differently, you'll have to decide whether you must overwrite the default character. This mod will help you with this decision, and make it really simple to overwrite the default or update the new prototypes in a safe way.

Is 2.1 support planned?

I didn't have time yet to check out 2.1. Did you notice any problems with it?

The factorio_version in the latest release info.json is "2.0" so factorio 2.1 won't run it.

Makes sense, thank you for reminding me! I'll try to update my mods during the next days. Changing info.json is trivial – but I'll have to make sure that Factorio 2.1 hasn't introduced any other breaking changes. :-)

Unfortunately latest version of factorio with CharacterModHelper_2.0.7 is having this error:

Actually, this error occurs because Vaporeon Character doesn't use the mod helper correctly. See this discussion for detailed instructions on how to fix this bug!

Just did a quick test on my end (bumping affected mods, starting a new game, wandering around a bit and changing character colour) and I'm not noticing any issues with 2.1.
