Das Hauptfeature ist momentan, dass ihr neue Genres zum Spiel hinzufügen könnt. Dafür gibt es eine Schritt bei Schritt Anleitung, bei der die nötigen Informationen gesammelt werden, um das neue Genre erstellen zu können. Es ist außerdem möglich ein eigenes Genre-Icon und Screenshots auszuwählen. Die Screenshots können dann in dem Entwicklungsfortschritt gesehen werden.

Seit Version 1.3.0 kann man jetzt auch eigene Themen hinzufügen.
Seit Version 1.4.0 ist es möglich seine Mods zu exportieren und mit anderen zu teilen
Seit Version 1.6.0 kann man Publisher und Developer hinzufügen
Seit Version 1.8.0 Kann man Engine und Gameplay features hinzufügen
Seit Version 1.10.0 kann man Lizenzen hinzufügen
Seit Version 1.12.0 kann man mods per direkter download URL importieren

Wenn ihr irgendwelche Vorschläge, Probleme oder Ideen habt, dann schreibt sie gerne hier in die Kommentare oder öffnet ein neues "Problem" auf Github.

Für eine genauere Erklärung könnt ihr euch die Github Seite von dem Tool anschauen, wo ich eine noch ausführlichere Beschreibung geschrieben habe und erkläre, wie es genau funktioniert ein neues Genre hinzuzufügen. Der Harken ist aber, dass die Erklärung auf Github momentan nur auf Englisch verfügbar sind. Die Sprache vom Tool kann in den Einstellungen auch auf Deutsch gestellt werde. Der Code ist open-source.

PLEASE MAKE A NEW VERSION

What do you want to have included in the next version or did something break and the tool no longer works?

[LiftYrSkinnyFists]

the tool no longer works, please update it I have so many ideas. The technology level isn't synced as it increased

What exactly does no longer work? I need more information. It would be very helpful if you could create a new issue (Bug report) on GitHub (button New Issue) and describe the problem in detail.

Great, the easiest for me would be if you could create feature requests on GitHub and describe your ideas. I will review them and label them accordingly:

I don't quite understand what you mean.

[LiftYrSkinnyFists]

basically since the technology level is at 8 on the mod tool and the current game version has a technology level max of 9. it isn't synced and whenever I implement stuff it just doesn't go it whatsoever

Ah I think I understand what you mean. As a workaround, until I update the max slider value for the tech level to 9 you can do the following:
Go to File -> Settings -> Configure Safety Features -> Tick the box labeled "Unlock Spinner" -> click OK -> save the settings
I have created a new issue on GitHub for the problem, I will fix it once I have some time: https://github.com/LMH01/MGT2_Mod_Tool/issues/137

when will the new version come out?

I will probably work on the update tomorrow, so if everything goes well I think that an update might be ready tomorrow.

Hello everyone, I have the next version ready: v4.10.0
This version makes the mod tool compatible again with MGT2, as recent game updates changed some ways the game files are structured.
This update also adds recognition for many new data keys in the game files, however many of them can't yet be changed within the gui.
The full changelog and the download are available here: https://github.com/LMH01/MGT2_Mod_Tool/releases/tag/v4.10.0

Hi, I know this post is a bit old, but is there any chance you could update your mod tool again?
I would have contacted you on Discord, but your Github page has an outdated ID with
# numbers that no longer exist.
I also wasn't able to contact you directly on Steam, so I'm just trying my luck here.

I have worked a lot with your tool, but unfortunately it no longer works properly...
You can still add genres, themes etc. but only the first time you start the program. If you quit and restart the next time, you won't be able to add any more genres due to errors.

I personally use the tool more for small things, but unfortunately, other projects have also been put on hold because of the errors, like that of a RL friend of mine who was working on a gigantic content mod.

Since Mad Games Tycoon 2 will probably no longer receive updates, an update to the tool would be a blessing.

Thank you for the great tool!

Hello Abigail,

thanks for your message and your continued interest in the tool. I will have a look at the problems.

Also thanks for telling me that the discord tag on the GitHub page is no longer up-to-date, I will fix that. My correct discord username is LMH01.

I would be very gratefull if you could provide me with further information on the problems so that I am quicker in identifying them, please contact me on Discord for that.

Hi, I'm sorry, I just got back home. Thank you for your quick response!
I sent you a request on Discord. My name there is Hatsune Miku (I have had the account for ages and didn't want to rename it). :D

I quickly retriggered the error with the old version and will then inform you about the error via Discord.

I will try the new version. :D

For anyone stubling across this thread: This update did not yet fix the issue but I think that I have found the problem. I should be able to release this fix soon™.

[LMH01]

The new update v5.0.0 is now available. It should fix the problem that adding of genres failes regularly (on extremely rare occasions the issue might still occur).
The update also fixes some smaller issues and restores compatibility with the game.

It is available here: https://github.com/LMH01/MGT2_Mod_Tool/releases/tag/v5.0.0

[LMH01]

I have release a little bug fixing version. This should fix a random error when adding new genres.
New Version is v5.0.1 available here: https://github.com/LMH01/MGT2_Mod_Tool/releases/tag/v5.0.1
