Stupid Question - be gentle
« on: 2008 February 28, 23:24:12 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Ok first post ever and probably a stupid one too - so feel free to point and laugh Grin

Since there is a Free time sections listed under the "all hacks" section in the Armory - I can assume that any hack listed there is confirmed Free time compatable?  It seems as if almost all the hacks are listed there already?  I only expected a few to be listed as Free time was just released.
Is J.M Pescado really just that awesome in promptly testing and updating his hacks?

And do I just delete the old hack from my downloads and then redownload the new version from the Free time section?

Thanks!

Yes they are compatible.  Keep an eye out for more updates for the next couple of days though.

Yes, overwrite old hacks with new ones.

Forgive me for ambushing the topic but I have a similar question.  Does this mean that all Pescado FT-compatible hacks are updated so they don't interfere with new interactions?  I mean, I know these hacks won't break the game but will they also allow for new interactions?  For example, harderjob.  With the new hobby benefits, some sims can advance in their careers faster and can even plead for their job back if fired.  Will harderjob hack be okay with that?  Or noplagiarism.  With the new ways to make new novels, will noplagiarism allow for them?  And phone hack for that matter -- 3-way calling for popularity sims, is that available?

I hope so because I know JM is THAT awesome but I'm annoying enough that I have to ask.  Whack me with a stick now, JM.

Play with "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" and report any errors. A lot of the FT hacks are in "testing" stage. As there are a lot of bugs to sort through. Check back often, once JM is able to play the game himself and not just to test errors that are reported, expect to see moar of FT directly related hacks.

Is there a list of hacks that are not compatible with FT? I think that'd be more useful to me than anything else.

If it isn't in the FT hack list it isn't compatible.

Hacks that are not compatible do not exist for FT. A list of not compatible hacks would be an empty list.  Lips sealed

Or it would be a list that is so long as to be useless (Not compatible with FT: All other hacks not in the FT directory).

@Garnet Avi: Any non-awesome hacks (mods by other creators) may be incompatible and should not be considered safe for FT until their creator/maintainer declares them safe or updated. (You may, of course, hackdiff them yourself if you wish).  To check on status of non-awesome mods, you need to check in at the website of the appropriate modder.  (i.e. Don't ask Pescado whether one of Squinge's mods is compatible).

 Undecided As the title says be gentle! EA just answered me on a question and I was wondering if some wonderful smart person out there could tell me how it relates to the game.
EA said to dump my temp file (which I don't understand how it got so full. Is that where files go you delete in game?) and to then turn off all back round task how could these two things bother the game play?

Dump your temp file, I don't know.  Try emptying your recycle bin, and deleting your groups.cache.  Turning off background tasks is easier.  Background tasks take up memory, and Sims uses a LOT of memory.  So freeing up memory is good.  If you are using windows, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL, and close the processes under your username for anything that is not explorer.exe or taskmanager.exe.  DO NOT TOUCH PROCESSES BY OTHER OWNERS UNLESS YOU ARE COMPUTER-SAVVY AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.  You will BREAK something.  Sorry about the all caps, but it is very important.

Okay I feel really stupid having asked that last question. The very next page I read answed the question. Anyway I still need to know why temp file would mess up my FT game should the game be reading file in the temp file?

I know nothing of this "temp file".  Delete groups.cache.  Doing this forces the game to relook at everything and reform the file.  Groups.cache can be borked easily by changing hacks, all sorts of things.

I assume temp files refers to your Temporary Internet Files. These are files such as images and whatnot that are stored on your computer to ease the speed of loading web pages you've previously visited. Deleting Temporary Internet Files is no big deal; it just means the pages you've previously visited will take a bit longer to load.

I highly recommend you (everyone, really) have a copy of CCleaner on your PC.  Wonderful little free utility that helps clean out all the accumulated junk that PCs pick up over time. www.ccleaner.com/

Yep. I have my CCleaner set to empty the temp file, as well as the browser cache, every time I completely close my browser (it is not uncommon for me to have 7 or 8 windows open at once).

Oh, I know. I have all non-awesome hacks off until I'm sure they're alright. I intend to use the least of those as possible. I was only asking about awesome stuff. (BTW, what's hackdiff?)

hackdiff is a small utility (available here, I believe) that compares hacks to the new objects.package in a new EP and flags potential problems.  Primarily used by hack/mod developers to let them know what needs to be updated for a new EP.
