[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1157958, member: 141969"] When I was using MP 1.9.0 pre, I used the "Amped" skin, to which I made several (very) minor modifications. When I installed MP 1.12, I changed to "DefaultWide", to which I would also like to make some minor modifications. But I would like to do this in a way that: (1) Makes it easy to run MP [i]without[/i] my modifications (for when my mods do not work correctly). (2) Will be preserved when a new release of MP or skin is installed. Is there any facility in MP to support this? I looked in the Wiki, but did not find anything. The sort of facility that I was thinking about was something akin to the "path" definition in Windows. For MP, let us call this the "xml path". So, there would be a default xml path that MP and its skins would use to find xml files when needed. The user could (either via a config panel, or by editing an xml file) specify one or more folders to be searched ahead of the MP and skin folders when looking for xml files. There would be an invocation option to ignore this user xml path, and running "MP Watchdog" would [i]force[/i] the user xml path to be ignored. Is there anything like this already available in MP? -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
