I feel so bad for @linuxgurugamer  rip. Probably won't change the mods much, but he'll have to rename them and change the versions for Editor Extensions Redux for example, because doesn't work in any other version besides for the one it was released for.
Always amazed by the dude, over half of my mods are maintained by him.

Version file editing seems to have helped. 

On a note more related to the actual update (so we dont get yelled at). Wolfhound is no longer spinny af. So jeb's new toy will require modifying

It worked before the MH update so ill have to get beck to you on "if it's actually ok" BUT! Most mods have a thing called a VERSION file.

This can be edited with notepad, and if you change a few 1s to 2s all should be well. Maybe. Not so sure anymore.

 

I was wrong. Don't attempt to do that. The wrath of the kraken will be upon you. However if you want to annoy the kraken......

Please don't.  The last time someone tried, they released a broken version.

I'll get this updated first, this evening.

It may appear to work, but things may be off.  I STRONGLY suggest you don't edit the version file of EEX, and just be patient and wait a few hours

I think he's using a script, or possibly that @linuxgurugamer is a script, or rather an AI construkt.

@linuxgurugamer Create a scientific study that tests the effectiveness of a pill meant to prevent the placebo effect.

Oh hey, they fixed the broken normal maps on the KV pod IVAs; nice!
...looks like the one for the black+white Rockomax tanks is still hosed though. Also the new structural panels. Also they accidentally blanked the alpha channel on the Rockomax tanks' diffuse maps when they converted them from .png to .dds. Also there's still a 2048*2048 DXT5 texture that does nothing but make the tiny featureless rectangular orange lamps in the KV2+3 pods glow.

He's doing miracle on our most beloved mods, but he's not normally expected to do your dayjob as well.

Its a joke. How would you make a test for the placebo effect, that controls for the placebo effect? Meh don't worry really.

Tests for placebo effects are common, mainly by behavioural psychologists, social anthropologists and librarians.

Yeah I probably worded it wrong. There's some good paradox involving it in sorta that way. 

Other than EEX, install and test all my mods which are updated  and let me know the resukt

result* :P 

Mind if I also help finding things?
