3 new small mods inc Game Templates

[manowar]

I have vibe-coded 3 mods that I have tested locally and that other players may find useful:

Game Templates: Allows saving multiplayer game settings so it is easier to switch game types without missing a setting.
https://github.com/jonnymccullagh/gametemplates

Resignation Tribute: Allows you to send resources to allies when you resign.
https://github.com/jonnymccullagh/resignation-tribute

Quick Lobby: Adds a button to the main menu to get you to the lobby that little bit faster.
https://github.com/jonnymccullagh/quicklobby

I am also playing around with a player notes mod but I am still testing it.

Hi @manowar! Just tried your Game Templates mod, there is not mod.json, and it wasn't showing up in the mod selection, how do we use it?

[manowar]

So the mod.json is in the gametemplates subfolder so if you downloaded ALL the code then you only need that subfolder. Under the releases section I have the zip downloads e.g. [this zip](https://github.com/jonnymccullagh/gametemplates/releases/download/v0.28.1/gametemplates-0.28.1.zip) so that is probably easier for you to use than downloading the whole git repo. 

To make it easier here are direct links to the zip files for each mod above:

[Game Templates Zip](https://github.com/jonnymccullagh/gametemplates/releases/download/v0.28.1/gametemplates-0.28.1.zip)

[Resignation Tribute Zip](https://github.com/jonnymccullagh/resignation-tribute/releases/download/v0.28.0/resignation-tribute-0.28.0.zip)

[Quick Lobby Zip](https://github.com/jonnymccullagh/quicklobby/releases/download/v0.28/quicklobby-0.28.zip)

Ok, thanks! I guess I should have looked

Or to make it even easier I am attaching the zip files - though any updates will happen in the github repos.

I was trying to click the load template, and only a small part on the left could be clicked. Really nice though, especially if you are changing mods, then you don't have to go through all the settings and change them

who wants to make a bet that atleast one of these will be gobbled up by moderngui? xD

 

@manowar great work my MAN OF GREAT WISDOM AND EXCELLENCE

[Grautvornix]

Love it!

If I may, could I suggest one more mod: something that compares the mods and mod versions available on mod.io with the ones actually installed on the user's PC and then indicates what has changed. There was once a mod for that but it is not updated unfortunately.

[manowar]

I don't use ModernGUI so I don't know how compatible these are. I just don't like how it moves my minimap from where I expect it. 

Yeah I am tempted to make a 'modowar' that includes several of these ideas in one mod. I tried to get these onto mod.io but no progress so far. And I personally would prefer an easier way to see the latest autociv etc

ok but any other than that in combination ? I'm just wondering if game templates UI changes conflict with UI changes in another mod.

I was using other mods, but I just tried it without any other mods, and it still did it
