The widget library does not need support for checkboxes to implement this, and I am sure nobody wants to implement that anyway. We can just make a toggle like in the MP dialog. However, I am unsure if that is a wise approach. We have discussed this before. I think being able to load one mod is enough. At least it is a start, and then we can check the demand for more. If people want to combine mods, they can use a separate tool, which can do the merger in a controlled and more easily user-queried environment than the current game UI. I think we are opening a Pandora's box that we do not quite see the extent of if we allow multiple simultaneous mods. Just see the previous discussion thread for how the required features list just kept on growing as the discussion unfolded. Let's discuss why we want mods. I suspect some people want them so that veteran players can "tweak" their own setup exactly the way they want it. If that is someone's primary goal, then I want to hear it because I am very much against making that a priority. I want to enable total conversions / new campaigns, as that is what will bring this game forward and make it better for everyone. > Then have a line in the config file listing the enabled mods, comma seperated.

How will mods work with networked games? We need to ensure that all players are running the same mod(s). In any case, I am pretty sure we want to wait with all of this until after 2.1 is out. - Per _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
