g Deprecated my old fix

5 years ago

Hey, I just wanted to say that I checked things and deprecated the Zahnfeechen Patch version of the mod, directing people here. As I've written there, I don't code and just poked around a bit. Glad to see someone picked up and is improving the mod.
(I'm still going to use my own key image though, I've grown to like it)

Hi, thanks a lot for making the patch in the first place (otherwise I wouldn't have made this mod) as well as for directing people here and using my version. I take that as a compliment. :-)

I'm not much of a programmer myself, set out by looking at the existing code and trying to learn from there (that's why there were so many updates: I introduced bugs that needed fixing whenever I changed something big). It took me some time, but there are a number of people on the forum who went out of their way to give valuable advice and explain things in detail.

That's perfectly fine, I just felt it would be awkward to conflict with your mod and still use your image. But would you mind if I introduced an option to replace Gizmos' key image with yours? There may be other people who prefer your image, and you wouldn't have to replace the image in my mod every time I release a new version.

You're welcome, haha!

See, that's more than I was willing to do. Good job on learning though.

Oh no I don't mind at all, that sounds like a great idea!

Great! It will be in 0.17.10 then. I'll probably upload next week, it seems to work already, but I want to test it some more … :-D
