Semi Automatic STEP Tool

Milestones

Milestones for the proof-of-concept-tools that will set the base for a complete installation program/ MO plugin etc. Once we are done with betatesting there should be a reset to an alpha that will incorporate all (probably) separated tools into a unified codebase.

• Alpha state:

1. Define and assemble a list of all archives (filename and checksum) that'll be used for the STEP core installation (WIP)
2. (parallel to #1) get a working tool that returns the changed filestructure as config file for MG's ASI.
3. (needs #2)
   1. install all mods according to the STEP core guide (+ our definition of STEP core)
   2. run the tool from #2. Adjust the tool if necessary
   3. Milestone is reached once all config files for STEP core are completed.
4. create a tool that installs STEP core in separate folders.
   1. A simple batch file (for now) will just copy them all together for testing / or we create a switch in the ASI tool
5. Bundle it all in one toolkit / one downloadable zip file.
   1. documentation
   2. bugfixing, catch errors/exceptions

• Beta state:

1. let the community give feedback and suggestions.

later/not time critical, yet:

• a: define how data should be imported into the wiki (filelists for each mod? file archive based?)
  • 1: import data into the STEP wiki; make it editable for mod authors
  • 2: create a query that returns data ready for our tool
• b: MO metafile-write support (have to check if I already got this working)
  • 1: a function that will edit the metas after the installation is complete
• c: get a version control up and running
