Hi,

Thanks.

the .int file should accompany a skin, mutator, or anything with localized variables. Probably voice packs too. If you're lucky you'll get *.??t files for other languages tooSpoiler
(the ? denotes any single character, similar but not the same as the wildcard you used)

Re: Manifest.ini
I believe it's the other way around: When installing a UMOD, stuff like the new files and belonging filepaths, version and mod title are simply logged in your Manifest.ini (to keep track of the stuff installed). Adding your Manifest.ini file to your mod packages doesn't make any sense at all, since each client has its own personal .ini file already present.

Re: Manifest.ini
Spongebob, I think you read more into what billybill said, or I missed it
The manifest is indeed used by UMOD installers so you can run the setup.exe and remove mods you don't want.
UMOD files contain a manifest.ini which will add the info to your install.
The manifest inside the UMOD contains extra info such as the size of the files.
*.int files are the "International-English" language config files.

Re: Manifest.ini
Don't delete .int files. .int stands for .international english and contains all the strings of text. You can however delete all the .frt; .itt, .det, .est, and other translation files you don't use. The only ones that are actually useful are the ones for your own language, and .int which must not be removed as they act as fallbakcs (whenever a suitable translation file is not found, UT falls back to the english International).
You must construct additional pylons.

This will not end well...Forum|User wrote:So I can delete these files, good. Thanks for the infos guys!
Just because you're not sure what certain files do, that doesn't mean you should delete them. Certainly not clear your recycle bin immediately if you do.

Re: Manifest.ini
I'm not sure where the idea it was OK to delete them came from.
The manifest file is part of a normal healthy UT install.
It not only contains all the info for properly installed mods, but also for UT itself.
As already pointed out, the int files are always used if you do not have the equivalent file in your language.
Many mod makers only make this 1 version rather than their own language, as it will work for everyone.
These language files contain all the instructions needed by UT to give you menus and buttons, or for skins and models to show and be selectable.
If space is a big issue, right-click on the UT folder, then properties and in the advanced options you can compress the folder.

Re: Manifest.ini
But UMODs don't need to be delivered with a Manifest.ini file in the same package - as you said, the info is contained inside the installer package so adding an extra Manifest.ini file to your package doesn't make any sense at all - quite the opposite, people might get confused and overwrite their existing Manifest.ini file - erasing important info of their installed mods.Dr.Flay wrote:UMOD files contain a manifest.ini which will add the info to your install.

Edit: I probably misunderstood the original post, as he was most likely referring to the .int files being delivered in downloaded packages; and not Manifest.ini files. Forget what I said.

Re: Manifest.ini
On the DLD servers we run alot of mods, i found it best to copy the new manifest files and place them in the main Manifest.ini (At the end). You can delete manifest1, manifest2 etc. without any problems.
