A simple and easy to use mod manager for several games using Thunderstore

r2modmanplus's Issues

Import profile

One of the nicest features of r2modman were profile exports/imports.

This allows r2modman to import a profile based on a previously exported one.

The manager should allow for custom naming, defaulting to the exported profile's name.

Config editor

It'd be nice for users to be able to browse, edit, save, and discard changes for config files without having to leave the manager.

This however, is not essential for the r2modmanPlus first release.

Installing mods to profiles

Depends on issue #1

When I download a mod, I want it to install to my current profile, so that I don't need to edit any configuration files to get r2modman to recognise it.

It would be nice to be able to order mods by popularity or latest update

Errors need to be displayed to the user.

Previously, r2modman would silently handle errors,
This wasn't good as errors that could occur wouldn't provide any detailed error message.

Error handling is already implemented in R2MMp, and so requires a way of showing these errors to the user.

In terms of implementation, either a page showing all recorded errors (can do so by adding to the page on R2Error creation, or by showing a notification box with the error title, and a modal that can open explaining the error, and providing the message.

Exporting a profile prior to installing mods throws an error

Manager is unable to find mods.yml as it hasn't been created yet.

BepInEx Installations

BepInEx needs to be install-able on a per-profile basis.

It should just be a case of extracting the /mods/cache/bbepis-BepInExPack/version/ folder to the active profile's current directory.

Help pages

Help pages:

1. r2modman help
2. Mod not working
3. Launching via Steam
4. Potential Thunderstore connection problems.
5. Further support

Add author name to title or description

Would appreciate as it would help distinguish mods with the same name that haven't been deprecated in Thunderstore and possibly allow sorting by author to make sense.

I was thinking lighter weight text next to the mod name would be best, so you wouldn't have to expand the mod to see the author (again, making a list sorted by author look nice). Mods with an excessively long name might require the author name to be clipped off, but at least at my resolution and the default window size, this would require a mod name of ~60+ characters, which seems like a separate issue entirely 😃

Another option that would avoid that issue would be to put the author name in the description, which would at least help the problem of differentiating mods with the same name.

Launch game as both modded, or vanilla

The game should be able to be launched with mods from the current profile.

It should also have the option to be launched as vanilla, without the need to create an empty profile.

Remove "Download" button from manager, as "Download with dependencies" removes the need for it.

Game crashes if Steam is not started

Bug: Enable/Disable disables all mods, not specified mod.

Tested using RogueWisp. Disabling this mod also disables R2API.

Retain a dependency's installed list position when it has multiple dependents

Currently, if a mod has multiple dependents, its position on the installed list moves to above the last installed dependent, rather than retaining its position on the list. This is most commonly seen with BepInEx and R2API, which are constantly shifting around as new mods are installed. This can sometimes make it hard to quickly locate mods in the list.

Settings page

Settings page needs to be implemented with the following options:

1. Change RoR2 directory used.
2. Associate Install with Mod Manager button.
3. Export profile
4. Import profile
5. Raise a bug
6. Launch via Steam?

Updating a mod creates a new entry rather than replacing the old one

The new entry is placed at the bottom of the installed list. Disabling one entry disables both of them, and uninstalling one removes them both, which sort of defeats the purpose of the update button. This behavior was not present in v3.0.1, unsure about v3.0.2.

Allow profiles to include mods that are disabled

This would be an extremely useful feature for current/future modpack creators who want to include mods that imitate Artifacts like ChestItemPicker, Sacrifice, and SpiteMod or unfinished characters like PlayableScavenger, BootlegChef, or SniperRework, but don't want them to be enabled by default.

Feel free to ping/message me on Discord @blazingdrummer#1929.

Profiles and cache are cleared on update

Should still have the opportunity to backup files before restarting the program though. Would appreciate confirmation that this isn't just on my end, and that other people have experienced it.

Support migration from r2modman 2.1.1

Mods should be detected, and re-downloaded if isHTTP is enabled.

Pre-requisites:

1. There exists at least one profile.

Steps:

1. Read mods.json file.
2. Delete profile.
3. Re-create profile.
4. Download mods.
5. Retrieve path.txt, and set to ror2InstallLocation
6. Perform cleanup.

Notes:
Previously exported profiles should be ignored, as they work of UUID4. The new version ignores this, and this field is likely to become deprecated in Manifest V2.

"Install with mod manager" if manager is closed beforehand.

Ability to use mod manager whilst offline

The manager shouldn't hang on the splash screen if it is unable to connect to Thunderstore.

The "Online" option could potentially be greyed out?

Add buttons to collapse/expand all entries

This would allow you to browse mods quickly while seeing their descriptions, as well as enabling/disabling large numbers of mods more easily.

Feel free to ping/message me on Discord @blazingdrummer#1929.

Enabling/Disabling installed mods.

As uninstalling a mod deletes it from the local profile, there needs to be a noticeable difference between uninstalling and disabling.

Disabling should add ".old" to all DLL extensions for files under BepInEx/[^config]/ModName

Installed mods must check to ensure all dependencies have been installed.

The user must be warned that they don't currently have all necessary mods.

Show download progress of mods

To show that something has started happening, a modal popup showing downloads would be better for users.

r2modmanPlus does not launch the game

For some reason it does not launch the game when "Start Modded" or "Start Vanilla" buttons are pressed
And i've checked, the path to the Risk Of Rain 2 Install is correct

Also, my RoR2 install is not on my C drive with steam, its on another drive.
Clicking the links in the help tab does not work either.

(I know that the gifs are not really showing that nothing is happening but really, nothing's happening)

Auto updating

Since r2modmanPlus no longer uses unpacked (asar) files in /resources, this should be far easier to update.

Add Risk of Rain 2_Data support

Downloading via Thunderstore button not refreshing install list

If RoR2 directory fails to find, request manual selection

If the user doesn't have the game linked with Steam (I know what you've done), then ask them to select a directory for RoR2.

Profile Selection, Creation, and Deletion

I would like to be able to use custom profiles so that I can organise my mods for different play sessions.

I want to:
• Create a profile, and call it whatever I want.
• Delete the profile if I no longer need/want it.
• Select the profile so that I may install mods for use with that profile.

Add setting to manually locate Steam folder

Support for mapped drives

I've got a somewhat weird setup and have my games drive mapped on a NAS, but this means I can't use r2modman

If possible, please add a configuration option to copy mods instead of using a symlink.

YAML Data Files

I would like all files that store metadata regarding profiles and their mods to be stored using YAML.

View on Thunderstore button.

This button should either open a new Electron window, allowing you to browse Thunderstore directly in the app, or, open the webpage via the console, opening Thunderstore in the default browser.

Show an installed mod's version number somewhere

Would really appreciate being able to see which version of a mod is currently installed, as there is no way to do that within the manager right now.

Order of registry InstallPath isn't guaranteed

Folders should use a mod's full name, rather than the standard name.

This is to prevent any conflicts between two mods with the same name.

Mods are never detected as cached, and are re-downloaded each time

Discovered whilst working on #36. It has also been fixed in this commit

Install with dependencies button doesn't include dependencies of dependencies.

rip

Clicking on an entry's dropdown arrow sends you to the top of the page

This is just a minor annoyance. Clicking anywhere else on the entry retains your position on the page, which would be the desired behavior, so this isn't an urgent fix. The current behavior is just counterintuitive.

Export profile

One of the nicest features of r2modman were profile exports/imports.

This will allow r2modman to export the current modlist in a readable format for another client to install the same, identical, mods.

Implement Manifest V2 Spec

This will be an on-going issue that will only be closed once fully implemented, and Thunderstore has a finalised version of the new manifest.

The new v2 endpoint will be pagination based. Are all results fetched from each page in consecutively, or is it based on how far down a user has scrolled?
(Searching will have it's own endpoint which isn't a concern yet ).

"Start modded" and "Start vanilla" buttons could stand out more

The selections are currently the exact same appearance as any of the other options, which caused me to accidentally click them a few times at first. My suggestions would be make them bold text, give them a background color, or maybe just a border to distinguish them from the other buttons. Now that I've gotten used to them, it's not a problem, so maybe I was just too dumb 😁 and it wouldn't be worth the time. Either way, just thought I'd mention it.

Show errors if profile importing failed

Import profile will not actually install mods

I tried this both installed only for me and installed for all users. I tested this across multiple computers as well.
r2modman says that the r2x file has been imported, and the installed mods list looks correct. I checked mods/cache and it does look like the mods downloaded, but none of them are actually copied to the profile's folder. The only thing present in the profile is the "mods.yml" file.
Restarting r2modman doesn't resolve this issue. Nothing seems to affect the files inside the profile except going to the "online" tab and manually installing mods. I tried installing just r2api hoping it would cascade and cause r2modman to recognize all the mods that are supposed to be there and install them, but it did not.

Please let me know if there are any other useful files I can upload.

Default2.zip

Implement a button to install mod + all dependencies

Improving on the previous experience, it'd be nice to be able to one-click install all dependencies for a mod, rather than follow a chain of missing dependencies.

Install with Mod Manager support

You should be able to browse Thunderstore and click the "Install with Mod Manager" button.

This should launch r2modmanPlus, and pre-open the download modal once the profile has been selected.

"Disable all mods" button doesn't work, despite visuals

The button causes all mods to be crossed out and display the "enable" button in the dropdown, exactly as if they were actually disabled, but the mods are still loaded on game launch. Disabling them one-by-one still functions as expected. The "Enable all mods" button still functions as expected.

Feel free to ping/message me on Discord @blazingdrummer#1929.

Manager must check whether or not that mods are the most recent version.

If mods are outdated, alert the user.
