Windows will likely display a "Windows protected your PC" SmartScreen warning. This is expected for unsigned indie software and does not mean the application is malicious. Click More info → Run anyway.

Requirements

  • Windows
  • An existing SPT installation

Release 0.5.0

The original Forge is gone. This release points the Manager at its replacement, and lets you choose which one you'd rather use.

Mod sources

  • The Manager now talks to sp-mod.com, the official continuation of the Forge. Searching, installing, update checks and modlist restore all work again, the old API went offline and every one of those features was failing until now.
  • You can pick your source. A dropdown in the mod search window lets you switch between sp-mod.com and Forge Alt, a community-run archive mirror. The Manager checks that a source responds before switching, so a site being down can't leave you stuck on it. The chosen source is also used when checking for updates.
  • Nothing here changes the offline half of the app: scanning, installing from .zip/.7z/.rar, enabling and disabling, conflict detection, SPT version checks and modlist export/import never needed a website.

One list instead of three

  • Mods that come in two parts now appear as one row. The separate Server and Client sections are gone; there's a single list where a multi-part mod shows as one line with its parts nested underneath, expandable with the arrow. A mod is a mod, whether it ships one folder or three.
  • Filtering by type is now a row of chips above the list, and it counts mods rather than folders.
  • Package groups the Manager guessed at (rather than recorded at install time) are marked as such and start collapsed, so a wrong guess is easy to spot.

Browse improvements

  • Mods you already have are marked as installed, with the installed version shown and the button reading "Reinstall" instead of "Install".
  • Fixed "only compatible with X" appearing to do nothing. The filter was working, but the version dropdown still defaulted to the newest release, so an incompatible version was shown and installed. It now defaults to the newest compatible one. Version choices from a previous search also no longer carry over into the next one.

SPT version detection

  • The SPT version is detected on 4.x again. SPT 4.0 stopped storing its version in core.json, so the version selector came up empty and compatibility checks couldn't run. The Manager now reads it from SPT.Server.exe itself.

Fixes

  • Multi-part mods installed from a source now record where they came from, so reinstalling one half rejoins it to the other instead of splitting the mod in two.
  • The update notification now links to the GitHub release, which is where new versions actually live.
  • Mods installed as a package no longer lose their source name, author and version, those were only being saved for single-part installs.

See the [README](https://github.com/Nevek20/SPT_Mod_Manager/blob/main/README.md) for the complete feature list.
