George: how does 'extends' attribute work

[alterecco]

There was a discussion on IRC about limiting mods to only some adventure extensions, and I seemed to recall there was a way. After sifting through the changelog I fell over this:

Added “extends” attribute for extensions (extension only loaded for given adventures)

Could you please explain how it works? Does it actually solve the problem of limiting a mod to a certain adventure (and, particularly, excluding it from vanilla). If not, is there another mechanism that does that?

[george moromisato]

The extends= attribute takes a list of adventure UNIDs (separated by semicolons). If present, then the extension only works with the given set of adventures.

[Note: There are two UNIDs associated for an adventure. There is an UNID on the adventure itself (in the <TranscendenceAdventure> element) and there is an UNID in the adventure descriptor (<AdventureDesc>). Right now this attribute expects the UNID of the adventure itself, but it in the future it will accept either one.]

[Note2: I have not tested it, but if you specify:

Code: Select all

... extends="0"

I believe the extension will only work on vanilla.]

Thanks a lot. This will be very helpfull!
