MOD conflict checker - C6_bandini - 03.04.2009

Have you ever installed a bunch of MODS, just to end up with some subtle bugs you don't know how to chase ? Well, here is a diagnosis tool, whose purpose is to detect potential conflict between MOD using the same java classes.

Unzip at the root of your IL2 directory, run classchecker.exe and look at the results in doublon.txt

You might need this piece of Microsoft code if classchecker.exe fails to launch

Here is a sample output :
64F83BC6574C11DE exists with :
CRC 7bd79941 : .\MODS\-VuesexternesETvisilongue\64F83BC6574C11DE
.\MODS\-VuesexternesETvisimoyenne\64F83BC6574C11DE
.\MODS\-VuesexternesETvisireduite\64F83BC6574C11DE
.\MODS\-Vuesexternesseules\64F83BC6574C11DE

CRC 50433e87 : .\MODS\-Flare_Distance\64F83BC6574C11DE
.\MODS\___Avions_nouveaux_slots\64F83BC6574C11DE

From this output, you know that the four first mods will clash with the two last ones, because all six MODs use the same class, but the class can have different content. If two MODs with different classes are used together, then only one of the MOD will really be activated. It can be harmless, or harmful.
This tool is here to help PACK makers, and PACK users chasing those potentially conflicting mods.

Nice tool, works well.

Directions: download the archive, extract to your MODS folder. Run the .exe, when done (it may take a minute or three depending on the number of mods you have installed), it will create a new text file ("doublon.txt") listing all the class files used in multiple mods.

Many default UI 1.1.1 mods use the same class files for different mods, apparently without any issues. But it does make one wonder if issues could arise. An example:
