Proposal: "scenes" key in modinfo.json

So I recently saw that the mod ListGenerator had a list of scenes, which makes at least three programs (two versions of PAMM) which have this built in. Would it be better to have a "scenes" object to clearly delineate this information? We'd still need a list for backwards compatibility, but at least that list could be frozen at the current set of scenes.

EDIT: Example for clarity

Code:

{
  "author": "wondible",
  ...
  "scenes": {
    "live_game": [
      "coui://ui/mods/....css",
      "coui://ui/mods/....js"
    ]
  },
  ...
}

That's what we already have, isn't it?

That's a good idea. Should make updates like this much easier.

What we have:

Code:

{
  "author": "wondible",
  ...
  "live_game": [
    "coui://ui/mods/....css",
    "coui://ui/mods/....js"
  ],
  ...
}

Ah yes good idea.

Yeah, that would help too against having to update PAMM every time PA releases new scenes.

Great idea - added

As in PAMM-Windows will use the key if it's there?

In the next version, yes (It can use either system).

Ooh, I feel pressured now.

Does the Windows version at least prompt for program updates, so we could say there is a point at which it is safe to remove the top-level scene names?

So "in the next version" was code for "in a few minutes" ? ;^)

If you mean prompt for new versions of PAMM, then yes (as you probably just found out ). As for when to stop supporting the top-level scene names, I plan to keep the current ones in, but not add any more. If we get to a point where none of the older mods use the top-level names anymore, then I'll remove them, but it's not a big deal to keep them there.

I've updated the amdclean template to use scenes as primary and copy them down to the main object during build.

I'm on OS X, which is why I had to ask.

I was referring to mod authors removing the keys, since they will only want to maintain one set.

Ok, pamm for Linux/Mac is updated too. Got nuts with the new "scenes" key.

Does ListGenerator need to be updated?

No; the online mod list doesn't have scene information as it isn't needed.

Updated ListGen to not copy scenes to modlist.json

I stand corrected
