1.4.0 - Linux Support

Linux Support

Today I announce the inclusion of the payday 2 linux community!
I have updated MMM to be compatible with linux I am very new to Linux so expect some oversights
For reference I developed/tested the linux update using Mint, so those oversights might have to do with other distros

I have also fixed a couple of bugs as well as added a small feature that will be built upon in the future.
This new feature is checking for modworkshop.net compatible mod updates, you can do this one mod at a time but I plan to have a button to check all available mods.

There is also now a tools tab to keep modding tools in one place

Please check out the patch notes for more information

1.2.2 Bugfixes

A ton of bugs have been fixed, sorry for the confusion.

If every time you started up MMM version 1.2.1 and get a update notice, that is because version 1.2.1's internal version value was not updated. So the update checker thought 1.2.1 was 1.2.0.

This should fix all of the major issues, and if not, MMM should handle them better

Thank you for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience

Please see the latest releases to learn the new features in 1.2.0:
https://github.com/Wolfmyths/Myth-Mod-Manager/releases/tag/1.2.0

Changes:

• Threaded tasks are handled a lot better if an error happens
  • Example: Task window not closing properly
• Added logging and exception handling

Bugfixes:

• Update checker no longer is activated even though MMM is on the latest version
• Right-click menu in profiles was not activating
• Fixed multiple profile errors
• Fixed mod installation not working
• Possibly fixed a case where backing up mods wouldn't work
• Fixed a case where applying mods wouldn't work
• Possibly fixed the rare case that payday 2 cannot be launched from MMM

1.2.0

Hey all! This is a big update with a lot of small features and changes. There's not any big feature to show off this time, but there's a lot of little things! There has also been a lot of back-end restructuring of the program to help me and contributors create things faster.

Please check out the changelog below

Anti-Virus False positive update:

I am using a new module in this version of MMM to connect the user to the internet, it fixes microsoft's anti-virus going off and there should be no more false positives. If you want to delve deeper into this topic, visit #22, I will reopen the issue if it arises again.

New Features

• MMM now displays a mod's version if it's available (Checks in the mod's main.xml or mod.txt), this will display in the manager tab
• Three buttons in the right-click menu of the manager tab have been added:
  • If it's available, you can visit the mod page of any modworkshop.net mod (A modworkshop.net icon next to the mod name is an indicator that it's available)
  • There's a button that takes you to the mod's directory on your system
  • You can now hide mods (If you want to show them again, they'll be in the settings tab)
• Added about tab that includes support links, a shortcut legend, and a small synopsis of MMM
• Rewrote auto-updater (Visually its mostly the same)
  • Auto-updater now restarts and deleted the outdated version automatically after pressing ok during a successful install
  • Downloads go to your %TEMP% directory before installing in the case of the download failing
  • Instead of the auto-updater running in a thread, it now runs asynchronously via PySide6's events

Other Changes:

• Window size is saved more reliably
• List widgets in the program now have a background color
• Right-click menus have gotten a slight upgrade
  • There are now separators to better organize right-click menu buttons
  • Buttons are farther apart from each other
  • The background is now easier to tell apart from the program's background color
• Right clicking a mod also selects it in the manager and profiles tab (Saves a whole left click!!!)
• Header size adjustments in manager tab
• There is no longer a 1 second timer when setting/changing your PAYDAY 2 directory
• Optimizations
  • Calls to write data to mods.ini is used more sparingly when refreshing your mods or starting MMM
  • Because of the removal of a module, the program is a couple megabytes less

Bug Fixes:

• Microsoft no longer raises a anti-virus false positive
• Manager tab now refreshes after a profile is applied
• Checking MMM client version with latest should no longer freeze the application
  • Makes MMM's startup time faster (Checking versions only runs on startup)
  • Users with a slower internet connection will see a larger improvement to startup time
