autopatcher to remove bad feature
Previous versions were full recomps of wabbajack. I'm now providing a patcher that automates the process. If they don't change that part of the code it will be future proofed forever. I wouldn't think they'd change it but I also wouldn't think anyone would ever ruin their program with such a feature to begin with, so I guess we'll see
Latest release will always be available on github if not on nexus. There may be issues with the exe getting flagged on here so when in doubt head to github
This is aimed at power users. If you have to ask why we need it, stick with the normal version.
wabbajack is very helpful and I appreciate the community that uses it, but the restrictions placed on it indicate a misunderstanding of user rights and the role of a developer. Specifically the admin check at launch is an overstep that causes more problems than it solves so I have simply removed that. At this time there are no other changes but I will continue to provide this build for power users who don't want to bother with launching the program on a separate user account or messing up anything with your setup by enabling UAC. I'd like to make some other changes including allowing manual redirection of the source game path or forcing compilation to continue in absence of a mod, but I have not had time to look into such changes. This will work with your existing cookies, just remove normal wabbajack so this one will be default when you directly click a wabbajack file
If its ever out of date you can usually just fork my repo and hit the sync button on github to merge the changes since they are so minor. then clone the repo locally and run build-all.bat. You will need the dotnet sdk or get visual studio community edition and install all modules. If you have all the dependencies set up then the bat file should take only a minute or two and then you can go to wabbajack.app.wpf\bin\x64\release\ to find the compiled output
