Good, well done.

 

Looks cool

 

So, it's like Winmerge and mod manager at once?
Bravo!

 

Not now, for future maybe, it is hard to code!
At the moment you can only see original file, without any highlight.

I hope one day i release a program without stupid error....

 

Can't open my mod..

I just chose the folder of my mod in the '\Cossacks 3\mods\' folder
And my Steam folder is on D:\ disk
V.1.0.1

 

First, you have to change
" cossacks3path = C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Cossacks 3"
by
" cossacks3path = D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Cossacks 3"
in "settings.ini"

I will fix this error for v1.1, program read your "mod.ini" and think it is a modified file, so it search original "mod.ini" file in cossacks3 directory. But obviously it don't find it...

 

Still cant open it. What exactly I am doing wrong?

 

Is not your fault, i will fix this error tomorrow.

 

Ok, I will wait

 

If anyone want translate my tool, tell me it!

 

I can translate to Russian and Ukrainian

 

Please open "lang.ini", select all text from "[EN]" to "[FR]" excluded and paste at the end of the file. Then, replace "[EN]" by "[UK]" and for each
line "varname = text" translate only right part "text" in Ukrainian
Repeat for Russian translation. (with of course "[RU]" in place of "[UK]").

Then, send me the modified "lang.ini".
Thank

Can you add a feature to open both files in Araxis Merge / WinMerge by clicking one button?
It will be very useful

 

I work on implementation of a winmerge-like syntax inside c3me.

 

But you can select all text inside a layout using "ctrl+A"

 

Highlighting difference between files ok, i will add Pascal syntax highlight and it will be ok for 1.3.0.

 

If you finish all the features - there will be an excellent program for modders.
