Our Flowchart definitions let NGIO fit into all of these ModGroups, but the 'flow' itself matches 19-Utilities first. GCH matches 02-Extenders first. Lighting and Weather as well as Post Processing mods are exceptions to the 'flow', but we do have a number of mods outside of those optional ModGroups that break from that flow (particularly in 09-Fixes and 16-Interface) GCF NGIO --> produces LO-specific output that is itself used in another mod and provides hard-coded INI settings (should probably be in 09-Utilities, since it matches that MG first) GCH --> produces LO-specific output that is itself used in another mod via script and dynamically adjusts INI settings (should probably be in 02-Extenders, since it matches that MG first) NGIO GCF --> provides dummy grass cache files and provides hard-coded INI settings (produces no output)... so is effectively 03-Resources in this respect, but it also adds a plugin to make changes, which precludes it from 03-Resources (but this is still the best MG) We're evidently letting 09 - Fixes and 16 - Interface override the flow if the mods perform a fix or alter the interface. In other words, 'function' overrides 'form' for these (like Gameplay mods). We should probably update the Flowchart to reflect for consistency.

DoubleYou Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 You are confusing NGIO with GCH above. NGIO would be Utilities and GCH would be Extenders. GCH doesn't generate any files, whereas NGIO does (the grass cache). GCF was a resource because it provided files (blank grass cache files) that are needed to use gid grass cache.

Yep, I pulled the old switcheroo. Will correct this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
