disallow_modification query

[Spannerbag]

Hi,
Can disallow_modification be used anywhere else besides [modification]?
The wiki isn't clear if this is also recognised inside [resource] so I thought I'd ask here.

My reason for asking is that there is a chance at sometime in the (distant) future I might create a mod/resource.

The thought occurred: is it possible to release something as both a mod (where players can specify a config) and a resources (where the campaign author sets the config)?
However if the player has the mod version installed, the campaign must be able to ignore the [modification].

I suspect the two are separate and it'll have to be one or the other - but thought I'd ask.

Cheers!

You can [filter_condition] for it in any case.

I don't really know anything about mods/resources/lotsofotherstuff, but I would point out that if you look in data/_main.cfg you can see the order in which stuff gets loaded.

Also, I swear there's a way to query the active mods (like what you see in a save file active_mods="...") from lua. All I can find is wesnoth.scenario.mp_settings (see active_mods).

Anyway, you can probably have one check for the other and take corrective action as necessary.

Make the modification load the resource, instead of putting an extra copy of it into the modification. That way, if a campaign author has already enabled the resource, the mod is just telling the engine to enable a resource that's already enabled.

Thanks for the post, that was my thought: use a "wrapper" mod - but from the wiki I got the impression this wasn't allowed.
Would this be as simple as having a mod that basically did a [load_resource]?

Thanks also to Ravana and white_haired_uncle for your posts, it's all appreciated.

Cheers!

If the modification used [load_resource], then the code will be included only once even if bot the scenario and the active mode use [load_resource] for the same resource.

Thanks for the clarification/confirmation, much appreciated.
Another chink of light dispels another small bit of darkness.
