A collection of simple scripts written to enhance the DF Starter Pack. I've published them here for public review, to enable contributions, and because publishing encourages me to comment and structure my code properly ;)
Unless noted otherwise in the description or at the top of the .bat file itself, they are used from the root folder of the Starter Pack. Contributions are very welcome.
=================================
A tool designed to make updating to a newer release of the Starter Pack as painless as possible. It does not recognise older packages with incompatible saves; there you must copy any desired files across yourself.
It assumes that the target pack is in the same parent folder as the destination pack (from which the script is run). It checks for compatible packs; iterating through possible candidates by minor DF release, then pack release number - treating vanilla DF as pack release zero.
When the first compatible pack is found, it copies the gamelog and save folder from the target to the destination, and if copying from a Starter Pack also copies the User Generated Content
folder and the soundsense sound files to avoid a slow re-download.
