Remote Update Manifest Creation

Remote Update Manifest

A remote update manifest is a small XML file hosted somewhere Mods Manager can read, such as GitHub raw content.

Example 1: Here are Mine

Example 2:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ModUpdate>
  <Name value="zz_Author_MyMod" />
  <DisplayName value="My Mod" />
  <Version value="1.0.1" />
  <GameVersion value="3.0" />
  <Author value="YourName" />
  <Website value="https://example.com/my-mod-page" />
  <SkipWithAntiCheat value="true" />
  <ModIcon value="ModsManager/icon.png" />
  <ModBanner value="ModsManager/banner.png" />
  <UpdateManifest value="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YourName/YourManifestRepo/main/manifests/zz_Author_MyMod.xml" />
</ModUpdate>

Mods Manager compares:

• Installed Version against remote Version.
• Installed GameVersion against remote GameVersion.

If the remote value is newer, the player sees an update notice. If the manifest cannot be read, the player sees an update-check error instead of a false up-to-date message.
