I’m about to release my campaign integration into the Up Front module. Right now UF is at 3.4.8. What version number would you call it with the campaign system added? I’d added a small tweak to the entire module as well. Added mat cargo to the counter pieces so they remain attached to the cards when they are moved around. Might also add delete to the soldier cards.
Have you tried raising this with the existing maintainer(s) ?
Regardless of that, it sounds like your changes won’t be compatible with existing games even with Refresh Counters.
If users are likely to assess the module as being very different from the current version, or if the existing maintainers might do significant work in future on that version, I would go with 4.0.0 for your new release.
If the current maintainers are likely, at most, to do minor fixes to the current version and your changes are a gradual evolution of it, then I would go with 3.5.0.
I did message the listed maintainer. No response.
Not sure what you mean by not compatible with existing games. I don’t think too many people upgrade a module and then try to load a game saved in the previous version… Is that what you mean?
It doesn’t seem 4.0.0 worthy to me. Wasn’t sure.
Yes, that’s what I meant.
I think going with version 4.0.0 would make sense, especially since you’re adding a campaign system and other significant changes. Even if players don’t load old saved games, the new features might make the module feel like a different experience.
