Haha no prob. i don't know of the easypatcher. I must look into this thing. Thanks!

@⚝SheiFoxy⚝ I edited the link in the description of botr, ty for letting me know.

@⚝SheiFoxy⚝ its all done using the easypatcher now. These patches are pretty much useless.

The B18 mod links to this for its patch, but this is for A17?
Assuming this works with B18?

I forgot to mention: I used PatchOperationSequence with PatchOperationTest as a conditional to test whether the player has A Dog Said installed and active. If the player does not or forgot, then it quietly aborts. There's no error messages or anything.

I also tried the same thing without Sequence or Test, just the usual PatchOperationAdd, and without A Dog Said, it generates red errors like expected.

BTW: The patch file can be named anything. (I named mine "BOTR-ADogSaid-patches.xml") But it seems modders always put their patches in a "Patches" folder.

Since you're going to leave this up, despite now supporting the Easy Patcher, I took the liberty of trying to replicate what this does via a patch file and xpath PatchOperations [gist.github.com]. Mostly, I did this as a challenge to learn the new patch system.

I have tested this in-game with two new games and it seems to work. (The only mods I had were HugsLib, BOTR (Classic), A Dog Said, and my test patch file.) I was able to perform operations on BOTR animals, like usual. If you want to use it, here it is:

This xpath system has the advantage of better mod compatibility. (Your current version overwrites A Dog Said's Recipes_Surgery.xml .)

@Daniel_USA Yes! Now by default, Beasts of the Rim and Beasts of the Rim (Classic) are compatible with the LBE ADS Easy Patcher. I will leave these mods up anyway.

so you patched the original classic to work with easy ads patcher?

@~Teh SHiFta~ Alright, that was actually pretty easy. Beasts of the Rim is now compatible with ads easy patcher.

I was not aware of that. It's very interesting. Although, it would take a while for me to implement because I would need to change the body tags for all the animals.

Are you aware of https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=944381237 ?

If I understand correctly, there is no more need for compatibility patches for ADS
