This adds a blue favourite icon to the directory navigator that you can click to go straight to. You can also right-click any directory and favourite it. Now you have some typical quick links that you’d expect (Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, Favourites). If the user’s conversations were deep in a drive then that meant a lot of clicking. It started you off in your root drive view and didn’t help you save time to navigate back to your conversations. The user experience of opening up your workspace folder that contained conversations was horrible. With that said, onto the nice new features. It also fixes all other issues around bad conversation data, for example, old text showing up in copied / moved nodes even after the copied text was changed in CT. An important note to modders who might still have corrupted conversation files from previous CT usage - v1.4 can fix those for you if you open it up and re-save them. Fast forward to a year and a half after the last release and this issue is now fixed in v1.4 (it should have been fixed years ago but that's life). This bug was due to an original assumption I made when I originally developed the tool and one I only realised was wrong when I was stopping development on the tool. Any modder who has used it would probably scream in rage any time they realised this happened (and it was particularly sneaky as it would always look fine in CT - just break in BattleTech itself). #Corrupted Conversations / Bad Data (The Ugly Big Elephant)Įver since CT was created it had a risk of corrupting a conversation file - sometimes in obvious ways and other times in very subtle ways. This makes the project easier to work with so it makes it easier to improve.īefore I get onto the new features and improvements I need to mention the elephant in the room / the outstanding big issue and how it’s now been fixed. In the process I’ve improved lots of areas of code since I was forced to touch almost every single file. You can grab the new release from the Github ConverseTek v1.4 Release.Īs part of this update I rewrote / ported the project to Typescript and updated a lot of the badly outdated dependencies. For those of you who don’t know what ConverseTek is, it’s the tool I developed for creating and editing BT dropship conversations (1-on-1s with the crew and conference room) and released in Summer 2018.
