Purpose

This mod supports the loading, unloading, saving, and erasing of template data from the TNG database. Local template configuration files having the same format as in previous TNG releases are used to store template data when not resident in the TNG database. The mod can be used to preserve templates across releases or for loading entirely new templates.

Use Cases

Operations

For templates currently loaded into the TNG database, four operations are supported:

  • Save - Saves the selected template to a template configuration file in the template's root folder or to whatever subfolder has been set in the mod parameters. The configuration file does not need to exist. It will be created or overwritten. But subfolders (when specified) must exist. The template's data remains in the TNG database.
  • Wipe - Removes the selected template's data from the TNG database.
  • Unload - Executes a Save operation followed Wipe on the selected template.
  • Save All - Attempts to save all currently loaded templates to the TNG installation in their respective template folders.

For templates currently in the TNG installation that have valid template configuration files, the following two operations are supported:

  • Load - Loads data from the chosen template's local configuration file into the TNG database. Existing field values are overwritten. New field values are appended.
  • Load All - Attempts to load all templates in the TNG installation that have valid template configuration files into the database.
