Currently there's no method to find the mod version from within the game. This is sad.
Suggestion: do as CBA does.
In CBA-style projects,version info is put into the CfgPatches >> _addon class
For example:
class CfgPatches {
class MyMod {
version = 3.15;
versionAr[] = {3,15,3,210310};
versionStr = "3.15.3.210310";
};
};This could be added to the LoadOrder i guess.
No idea if it works with strings, that's up to people with bigger heads like me to find out :D
class CfgPatches {
class CUP_Weapons_LoadOrder {
author = "$STR_CUP_AUTHOR_STRING";
units[] = {};
weapons[] = {};
requiredVersion = 0.1;
requiredAddons[] = {"blah"};
version = $VERNUMBER_WEAPONS;
versionAr[] = {$VERNUMBER_WEAPONS};
versionStr = "$VERNUMBER_WEAPONS";
};
};It then would be awesome if the build server could fill the strings according to the build number...
AFAIK adding it to main patches is common practice, and where people generally look for version information
