[REL] Ant Name Bug Fix [71937]

Puts a stop to Scathis's tank naming rampage and permanently sets the name to simply "Ant". Download it on PAMM now!


(Thanks to @trialq for making this mod overview!)

Changelog:

• v1.0 - First version
• v1.1 - Now compatible with build number 71937
• v1.2 - Update to fix PAMM download bug

Such a simple and useful mod. Uber should include this in the game itself.

I think this mod is breaking my game. I can't seem to build the unit cannon anymore.

very true

Well the ant is a more than worthy replacement. Wouldn't you agree?

But I love that feature of name swapping every so often You never know what you gonna get next!

Exactly! You never know if someone is going to troll you either!

Please....stop the misery....

I quite like the UTC-8. When you build them, you always know in which timezone Uber lives!

Where do you live? I'd like to send my asteroids there. jk

If the devs fail us then we mod. I modded a fix for this issue and you're welcome to use it!

Now updated for build 71937. The rest of my mods will be updated soon.

Mods - could you move this thread to the release section? Thanks!

Wow. Thanks for doing that! I'll put it in the OP.

It would be epic if someone did videos for my other mods once I update them. hint hint please

That's the plan. Life will get in the way, but I'll try and pile through as many mod videos as I can when there's spare time. I'll try to make videos for mods as they get updated, which means a backlog over the past 4 days of 10 already

ok, that's fine. Thanks again for doing them!

The download link PAMM has for this mod is no longer working.

Thanks for the heads up, but that's odd, I never changed anything with the GitHub repo where the zip is stored.

It looks like PAMM is using this link:
https://github.com/pamods/LavaSnake-s-Mods/raw/master/Releases/LavaSnakes_Ant_v1-1.zip
instead of this one:
https://github.com/pamods/LavaSnake-s-Mods/blob/master/Releases and Icons/LavaSnakes_Ant_v1-1.zip?raw=true

I tried to change it back to the right one using the PA Mod Submit web app but it's not updating it for some reason. @Mereth @cola_colin @DeathByDenim Do any of you know what's happening?

Thanks!

Edit - I did some more looking once I released this was only effecting two of my mods. It turns out that awhile ago I did edit the folder structure of my repo and that must have messed up all my mods. The rest of them have been updated since then so these too are the only ones that are having the problem. Now my only issue is figuring out how to edit the download URL without publishing an update to the mod.

I don't think you can adjust the download URL without incrementing the version number of your mod. The mod list is hosted on Mereth's server somewhere. It doesn't use GitHub anymore, I think. At least not the pamods repository, so you can't change the download URL yourself. The easiest way is to just change the version number to 1.1.1 and publish an update. I mean it is a bugfix of sorts, isn't it?

I guess so. Well I'll go ahead and do that.

and fixed. Thanks for suggesting that!
