Hello, can anyone tell me why there isn't a "1920's era" extension? I realize the difference between 1890's skills and 1920's is minimal, but I wonder why?
The 2nd part to my question is a bit of extension weirdness...
I took the 1890's extension, copied it, and turned it into a 1920's (made some skill changes). Named it "CoC1920s.ext" and put it in my extensions folder. It would NOT show up in the list of extensions for cthul.
I double-checked the file and it was correct. So, for fun, I renamed the file to "CoC1920sEra.ext" and it DID show up. After I rebooted, however, it stopped showing up. I renamed the file AGAIN (to "CoC20s.ext") and poof it started showing up yet again.
What is the nine hells is going on? Anyone have any insight? FG ver 2.7.2 (latest developer release)
Thanks
--updated when I delete my working dir (directory I put extension.xml into, zip up, and change .zip to .ext), it stops showing up. It doesn't like my .ext file for some reason. When the folder which contains my extension.xml is present it works.
I'm just using win-rar to zip the dir (make it a zip not rar), then change .zip to .ext... ????
