Auto Mod Config

Description
Please note, this mod does not work standalone. It's designed to enable an easier method of creating and distributing Modlist Configs. If you're someone interested in creating their own Modlist Config, please take a look at the example Preset uploaded here, to Github[github.com].

Auto Mod Config allows you to easily create a Modlist Config Preset as a Rimworld Mod and upload that mod to the Steam Workshop. Once a user subscribes to your Preset, this mod will Automatically apply that Preset to the users Mod Config! When you update your config, simply update the mod on Steam and everyone subscribed to your Preset will automatically have their own configs updated!

If you upload a Preset to the workshop, it's recommended that you add this icon to the corner of your thumbnail to indicate that it's a Modlist Preset. The asset is located in the example Preset and is free for anyone to use.

Does this work good with 1.6? I can't really tell

Hey there, just curious, does this apply a preset configuration simply by being subscribed to this + a preset, or do they both have to be active in your modlist? Also, does it only apply the configs once you launch rimworld?

This mod is making me unable to play

Error while instantiating a mod of type ModlistConfigurator.ModlistConfigurator: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Well, I also got here due to the same reason as the boys below me. 😅


Huge thanks for making this mod btw, this was such an integral part missing from Rimworld modding for ages, auto mod configs was the big step in making stuff like wabbajack 3x as good as it was before. <3

Good to know im not the only one having the issue with attempting to merge the same config

I am also following Ferny's modpack and using the auto mod config provided.
When attempting to merge preset with current config, it causes the game to immediately become unresponsive. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help figure out what's the cause.

Did you ever figure this bug out by chance? I attempted the same thing, and my game locked up the two times I've done it. I only now came to this page and read that it does everything automatically and there was no need for me to do anything, haha. But, I read the comments as well and saw the last few.

For added context, I'm using 99% of Ferny's Progression collection/modpack 1.5 and some other mods not in his collection. I took out all Anomaly mods and a few others from the collection as well.

Sure, I don't mind helping out. Sec, lemme get on my PC.

The base assumption is that you're loading the preset because you're following a modlist or steam collection that the preset is designed for. In fact, the follow-up project I did (that I don't think anyone's used yet) is a way for creators to package entire modpacks into a single mod. That project allows a single mod to contain the steam workshop mod list (and auto-download them in game rather than going through steam the workshop yourself), a preset config list and a save file to quickly jump into a predefined scenario.

Hopefully that gives you an idea of the intention for this mod. I'd love to have a chat with you and gather more information so that I can sort out this bug though

Hey, thanks for the bug report! No, that's very unexpected, the process should be really quick. Usually within seconds. Can you tell me what mod you were using that had the preset, so I can test it?

As for how mod discrepancies work, the preset doesn't look into what mods you have, it just sets all the configs that are shipped with that preset. If it comes with configs for mods that you don't have, you'll end up with some extra config files that go un-used. If you have mods that the preset doesn't, it won't touch those.

What it does do is when the preset is updated through the workshop it'll do a diff against the settings for the configs you already have and the incoming update to try and safely apply updates without overwriting your settings.
