[Bug] loadorder broken ?

[deff]

Hello,

I have 2 extensions, one should be loaded before the other one.

So for the 1st, i put :

<loadorder>50</loadorder>
</properties>


So for the 1st, i put :

<loadorder>100</loadorder>
</properties>

It seems to work before the last update, but now it looks like it is random.

So sometime, the second one is first :/

Nothing was changed in the extension ordering between updates. How do you know that the ordering is off?
Please note that global scripts are not fired in load order; so you would mainly see in template/window/script overrides.

Thanks to the logo, i can see Cthullhu ext is loaded before COC ext. So in the char sheet, some modifications from cthulhu extension, like madness points, are no longer visible.

In FG3, it works.

To help, here are 2 little extensions, one with loadorder 50 , and the other one 100. Like this you can test on your side.

As the screenshot show, the loadorder50 has been loaded at the end.

Maybe it is nothing related to the last update and the loadorder has never worked in FGU....

The announcement text is not guaranteed to be in load order.

That's why i add a change of the desktop.png with the number of the load number painted :) and it is not correct that i have 50 displayed.

Well, I'll add a task to investigate the issue, once we get past some of the more pressing issues. (FGU-1047)

Thank you Moon Wizard :)

If it can help, several tests show that extensions seems to be loaded following their file name <filenqme>.ext.

So it is a workaround (add a prefix to the file name) but loadorder should work in the future or it will be a mess :)

I concur with deff, it appears as though <loadorder> is broken. The load order for two of my extensions is important and is causing issues in FGU. If I try to remedy the issue with <loadorder> it doesn’t work. But if I rename the extension files so that they fall alphabetically in the desired load order things work out just fine.

@Minty23185Fresh does the last update fix it for you. For me it doesn't look like :(

It appears to be working for me. I even used your loadOrder50 and loadOrder100 extensions to make sure it solved that ordering situation.

Load order of extensions is an ascending order numerically.

I don’t know, but I’ll check. I’m not an FGU user, but some of the users of my extensions are, so when they have issues I try to determine what the problems are. Since I’m not an FGU user I‘m unaware of these sorts of things until someone brings it to my attention.

Ok my bad, it was late yesterday ^^ I tested it and it works :)
Thank you Moon
