Force new config generate on TFC update

[warfighter67 124]

It's been needed for a long time. I believe other mods do the same thing.

How, you might ask?

My idea is, at the top of every config file, is a version number. When TFC takes a look at the config and notices the version doesn't match what it has, it regenerates a new config file, and renames the old one to "TFC_cfg.bak"

hah that'd definitely save you some hassle, I'd like to see if there are any reasons to not do this as I can't imagine any.

I usually do a fresh MultiMC install and just transfer saves, but this is a great idea that would hopefully cut down the clutter on support forums...

This is a good idea that can save lots of seconds, crashes and...and...useless "Help my TFC crashes" topics.

or the "I'm getting zinc knives from stones!" topics.

Might have been suggested before, but do any coders with knowledge in applications want to volunteer to make a TFC installer apart from MultiMC?

Something that could fetch the Player API, Forge and TFC files (or have them included if we got permission from Forge/API people) and then install them for you. This could have the added functionality of deleting your configs, replacing old versions of files and backing-up your saves when you install a new TFC update.

Just throwing an idea around that I know many in the community would appreciate.

Cheers!

Ermahgerd! This simple, non-game-changing idea is being taken over by the actually well-thought out game mechanic ideas! Halp!

This is a great little idea. Config file version control would definitely be a plus. Liked and bumped.
