Hi all,
since OXC 1.0 nightly (openxcom_git_master_2019_03_04_0513.zip)
and
OXCE v5.3 (coming out soon)
there will be a check for required OXCE version.
The check will be done when:
1. enabling a mod
2. selecting a master mod
OXC will only check if OXCE is required or not;
OXCE will also check the minimum required version of OXCE.
The definition of minimum required OXCE version is done via metadata.yml, for example:
name: "My OXCE mod"
version: 1.3.1a
author: Meridian
description: "Something clever."
id: "my-oxce-mod"
master: "xcom1"
requiredExtendedVersion: "5.3"
OXCE will additionally make a check during the game startup... this is useful when a player upgrades a mod in-place (i.e. doesn't have to enable it in the options). If a problem is found, a message like this will appear in the log file:
[03-03-2019_22-46-17] [ERROR] Mod 'X-Com Files' requires at least OXCE v5.3
PS: the checks only inform the player about the OXCE requirement... it will still be possible to enable any mod if the player chooses to ignore the requirement

Great, that was really needed!

It's a very good idea this control! :)
It is to update this "option" that there are round trips in the OXCE versions?
A few days ago I downloaded in your topic the version "5.2 2019-02-22" and today I see that you have given a version "5.2 2019-01-16". :-[

I have removed 2019-02-22 from official download, because it has a major bug.
