Config/Feature: Mod support priority selecting
BBoldt opened this issue ยท 2 comments
Let's consider I would like Immersive Engineering ores to generate in the world instead of Thermal Expansion ores. I can't figure out how to easily enable the IE support instead of the TE support.
In the mod description I noticed this:
Note that the bedrock vein config allows grouping blocks. From each group, only the entry with the lowest sort order will actually be used. So e.g. if you have both TF and IC2 installed, it will automatically only generate TF copper in bedrock veins by default, and no IC2 copper. This makes the default config usable in most cases with just a few tweaks.
I have no way of viewing the default grouping sort order for the already supported mods, but it looks like I should be able to do it using the configuration options already provided.
Still, I would like to suggest an easier way to disable/enable the native support for specific mods, or easily adjust the priority for all the blocks in the mod at once instead of on an ore by ore basis.
For the historical records, let it be said that you could look them up in their respective default JSON here, e.g. for Immersive Engineering you'd see it was set to 10.
But yeah, this was added early on when I didn't really anticipate there to be that many repeated ores :P I mean, I knew there were some, but... oh well. Anyway. Yes, as it stood this system would have required a lot of JSON config overrides to change the order (e.g. disable each of the entries that took precedence).
So, new system: in the config there's now a list of ore group priorities. In the new Immersive Engineering JSON you'll see it now reads "immersiveengineering" instead of 10. If a groupOrder is a string now, the index of that string in the orePriority config is looked up, and that index is multiplied by 5 to get the sort order. So to prefer Forestry ores over IC2 ores, for example, you'd just have to move the forestry string in the orePriority config list to above the ic2 one in your bedrockore.cfg.
Also added a config to disable all blocks from individual mods for convenience, oreModBlacklist. This is a list of mod IDs, for which no block will be spawned as an ore. So e.g. to disable Thermal Foundation ores, put thermalfoundation in it.
