Mod authors: What do you want to know from your users?

Hi, While improving modfusion I had the idea that it would be great for the log file to contain additional information and for modfusion to check for whatever simple/common errors it can.

 

To that end, the next version of modfusion will log the users OS and locale. It also scans all installed mods and makes sure all masters exist and are in the users load order, warning them otherwise.

 

And I was wondering if any mod authors had any ideas on what they wanted included?

The idea is that when a user has a problem with your mod, He could upload the modfusion.log to pastebin and you could see exactly what mods he has installed, his OS version and other info that might help you solve the error.

 

Current future plans are:

FONV and NVSE version: Storing the version number of FONV/NVSE in the log and alerting the user if its not the most up to date version.

Video card name/memory capacity: Quickly figure out if multiple users reporting the same bugs are using similar hardware or if the user has insufficent hardware to run your mod.

What do you mean exactly?

Modfusion already supports writing to its log via mod install scripts as well as displaying addition warnings/errors/info to the user that is also logged.

All the above info is also written to that log.

 

If you mean for something in game, Modfusion does not add any scripting functions to FONV.
