Since there have been multiple updates to reforger, it has become very obvious that a diff tool is required for modders.
Workbench needs a feature/tool that allows easily viewing differences between 2 updates.
- Allow side-by-side file comparisions etc. like normal DIFF tools do
- Allow notifications / overview for modders of file changes related to the current mod:
This means that if a mod overrides a file, if a game update makes change to that file,
enfusion tools should notify the modder of changes.
Same should be automatic for any modded script classes or inherited classes.
Maybe this won't make it into reforger workbench, but this would be something that modders would still need in the next enfusion workbench for arma platform.
Since this would require basically keeping another
copy of the game from when the mod is last published,
it would also require some work and stuff,
but I really think this is something that is crucial for a long-term platform,
whether it's keeping a mod alive and compatible with patches,
or giving modders a better overview of changes in code/engine,
as they can find new features and scripts in the diff changelog.
