| Summary | 0006689: Edit Package Info (darkmod.txt) doesn't work | ||||
| Description | The feature Map -> Edit Package Info (darkmod.txt) doesn't work for multiple reasons: - If the data in darkmod.txt is blank when this invoked, the following error is displayed: "Failed to parse darkmod.txt. Order of the elements Title/Description/Author/etc. is incorrect" before presenting the input form. It should just present the edit dialogue without the error message. Same if the file doesn't exist. - DR expects the fields to be in the following order. If they are not, the same error as above pops up, followed by the dialogue to edit but everything will be empty: Title Author Description However this is different that what is recommended in the Wiki, which is: Title Description Author https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=How_to_pack_your_Mission#darkmod.txt I believe the Wiki is correct, as if you don't use this order then these details aren't displayed properly in the in-game mission details page. I suggest that if things aren't in the order specified by the Wiki then DR should re-order them and maybe post a warning or info. - Finally, if you fill in the form presented by DR to fill in the darkmod.txt information, it doesn't save the value for 'Required TDM Version'. | ||||
