Outdated LBoP Compatability Bridger (Discontinued!) 2015-02-16

Note: Development for this mod has been discontinued until further notice. In the meantime, others are free to use assets from this mod to create spiritual successors to it.

Note: For modders only! Ordinary players shouldn't need this mod, but modders may! (Most likely, this mod would be helpful if you wanted to have players learn new recipes whenever something was picked up.)

Permissions:

- This mod is being released under the CC-BY-4.0 license, meaning that it can be freely modified and redistributed, provided that credit is given where it's due.
- This mod may be bundled alongside other mods. (This is probably advised, since not everyone that downloads your mod would know where to download this mod, especially when your mod requires this mod as a dependency.)

About the mod:

This mod was designed to serve as a bridge to allow multiple modders to create multiple mods that can safely add in the ability to cause players to learn new recipes upon picking up certain items and/or objects without fear of crashing from compatability issues with eachother. As of Upbeat Giraffe, there's an incompatability problem if more than one mod tries to add this kind of patch to an existing item or object:

[
{
"op": "add",
"path": "/learnBlueprintsOnPickup",
"value": [ "example" ]
}
]

...which would most likely cause the game to crash due to the game trying to add a new "learnBlueprintsOnPickup" array when one already exists.

However, multiple mods can safely add this kind of patch to an existing item or object, PROVIDED that the "learnBlueprintsOnPickup" array already exists.

[
{
"op": "add",
"path": "/learnBlueprintsOnPickup/-",
"value": "example"
}
]

Thankfully, it's quite possible for one mod to add in a "learnBlueprintsOnPickup" array when it doesn't exist in base files, and then, for other mods to add in new values to this recently-created "learnBlueprintsOnPickup" array. However, in order to ensure that this mod works properly, the other mods WILL need to add this mod as a required mod in their .modinfo files, so that this mod can load before the other mods can. For example:

{
"name" : "your mod name here",
"requires" : [ "LBoP Compatability Bridger" ]
}
