I stopped fixing the bugs on that version around 3 days ago ;)

I think I am ready for the public beta testing of my newer version.
It has an improved GUI, entirely new core, and a few new features.
The core is much more efficient and should behave better than the current one.

Test the new core out for yourself

I am sorry to all those users who saved their mods in the old core.
Those mods are NOT compatible with the new core.

Very nice, but closed-source remoted mod generator is not suitable for me.
I'd better keep using Mod Studio open-source tool :)

Suit yourself ;)
The Mod Studio doesn't do MODX and all of MODX's packaging rules for you :D

(If phpbb.com decided to use my script, I will release the source code under the GPL license 8-) )


I do need some people to help me debug the script.
If anyone is interested in getting the source code to test and debug, pm me :mrgreen:

using MOD Studio, save as, select "xml" from the filetype dropdown, saves as MODX for phpBB2.

Looks like this makes my generator the only web based one then ;)

Does it mean that changing phpBB target version to 3.0 directly in generated MODX xml file is not enough it to be MODX for phpBB3? :)

Actually, only that and changing the xsl declaration to use the prosilver stylesheet are required.

I have opted out of using the prosilver stylesheet at the moment just because of how prone it is to bugs. ;)
I will put it into the generator when the MODDB opens 8-)

Has nobody found any bugs with the generator? :)
I personally haven't found any yet with 2 releases of my Medals System MOD :D

This one is still in the planning phase. :)
I am trying to get a development team together to do things like this and translations. ;)
I am not currently accepting applicants, but if I ever am, I will announce it 8-)

The translations come as soon as there are languages for the stylesheet ;)

I'd rather you use the prosilver stylesheet.

The subSilver stylesheet has a nasty bug where you can't copy text out of the browser with CTRL+C, and a few other things fixed in the prosilver stylesheet. Bugs in both stylesheets will be fixed in the next refresh (probably after my exams).
