FusionManager Issues

[Fanotherpg]

I decided to segregate my extensions but I've got problem. The only tool which allows me to do so is Fusion Manager by Sphax which is not working brilliantly under Windows 7 (especially 64bit).

What is more it shows that mfxCom.dll library is missing as well as Ascii, comObject, extensionobject, ID3, MiniatureAudiere, mooclick,moogame, moosock, namegen, OnuEng_AdvSound; OpenGL, pitch; PostgreSQL; Python; SQLite3, SQLite3Pro, sqlserver, unrar can't be loaded.

So my question is is there any way to segregate them differently? Or to make those extensions working? Or to integrate this basic functionality into MMF?

If you go into your MMF extensions folder you will find a file called exts.ini. This is where the categories are stored.

[Fanotherpg]

Yeah, thanks a lot you're the man!

//Before I posted I checked the suggestion//

But after checking that file I've got there only about 62 entries of extensions whereas I've got 386 extensions installed. So how I can configure rest of them?

[Jaffob]

I believe you can just type a new heading for a new extension, and then under that type "cats=" and your category.

On MMF2 stuff, there is a link for an exts.ini with 353 extensions:

Thanks SortaCore that helps a bit! Still is there any option that we will receive Extension grouping? Or build in editor for that list?

[Phi]

Well...
If you look at the ini, it follows a format like this...

[FirstExtension.mfx]
cats=Category1;Category2

[SecondExtension.mfx]
cats=Category3

etc...
You could make an editor quite easily with the INI++ object, as it supports indexing of groups, so you could loop them.

[Fanotherpg]

Yeah I know that I meant more build in MMF2 Editor for that so I could create groups of extensions for my projects or for approciative runtimes from 'general exe' one so I would see which are OK, which are discontinued and so on. Just to make life a bit easier and more modern.

I think for MMF3 it definitely needs a more organized object list built in. In list view it would be good to have stuff like the developer, date made etc and that way it would be easy to find things just by clicking tabs at the top. Custom folders/groups and ways to add your own data without editing the ini would be other good things.

I requested that before, it's also another reason why i think it would be better to have a more modular, user customizable and expandable system in place for MMF3. Because if things like other dialog changes are needed it wouldn't require waiting for MMF4 etc to have it added the next time.

I think editing the ini is about the best thing that can be done for now though unless clickteam updates this.

Yeah I know that I could make an editor for it, but there is one but it doesn't work perfectly now : )
