Semi Automatic STEP Tool[edit | edit source]

Milestones[edit | edit source]

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 (currently on hold till it gets clear if there isn't an automnated way of doing it)
  2. (parallel to #1) get a working tool that returns the changed filestructure as config file for MG's ASI. (current WIP)
  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
