Stardew Valley SMAPI Mod Manager

1. 4 Update:

There were some bugs to be had with multilevel directories and how to dealt with internal parts of the mod with a manifest. These have now been fixed!

1. 3 Update:

Made to manage the directories better and to fix some bugs and compatibility issues, this version should hopefully be the last one for a while, unless someone else makes a suggestion I feel would benefit the program to add. (I've said that before, haha)

1. 2. 1 Update:

Just some bug fixes that were breaking the sub directory usage.

1. 2 Update:

So, another update rolls out. I'm going strong with this. I took some more suggestions from the feedback.

The program now deals with multi-directory issues, doing so by checking each folder for a manifest.json. Any sub-directories of the folder with the manifest.json won't be counted and are considered part of that mod. The downside is the names in the listbox can get long, so I compensated for this by adding a text label below them that shows the full name of the last clicked mod.

A button to open the Mods folder you're currently targeting has been added. (If you download the first 1. 2 version, uh, forgot to rebuild after adding this. Please redownload if you don't see it)

The update alerts are less grating. It will only alert when there's an update, or if it can't connect to the internet to check.

There is a list of recent loadouts now. The last 20 loadouts that were saved or loaded will be under file > recent loadouts.

The bug where you had to manually enter .load is fixed.

1. 1 Update:

So, there was an idea in the comments I couldn't resist adding. You can now save loadouts and load them to change the mods! Any mods not specified in the .load file will be added to their current status location (if they're disabled, they'll be put there and so on). I also fixed a bug with multiple selection moves. By the by, a detail I forgot to mention for the last update is there is an updating system. It just compares a SHA256 code embedded in the program to the key file on the github repo and will offer to link you to this page if they don't match. Simple, but effective, I hope. As always, please report any bugs and they'll be stomped as soon as I can manage. I've tried to be more thorough on my error messages so I can get plenty of info from errors. Enjoy everyone!

1. 0 Update:

So, I found something out about SMAPI that I don't think is very well known. That is, mod folders that have a period in front of them are ignored. So, one thing I've wanted is a manager for all the mods I've loaded so I can easily switch them in and out. Finding out that SMAPI ignores these folders meant I could build a tool that would add and remove the period for me. And thus, this simple mod manager was born. It was written in C# to start with, though I may do a different language
