PalModManager V1.2.1
Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
[1.2.1] - Hotfixes
Added
- Pak Destination Selector for Hybrid Mods: Added a dropdown/selector in the install preview dialog to choose where
.pakfiles inside Hybrid mods are installed (~modsorLogicMods). - Profile Purging (Clear Profile): Added a "Clear" button to the profile manager, allowing users to wipe all backing files, configurations, and mod lists from a profile (including the Default profile) without deleting the profile container itself.
- Explorer-style Details List View: Added an alternative compact Details List View resembling Windows File Explorer, featuring columns for Name, Status, Type, Version, Installed Path, Extra Files, and Date Installed, with interactive column header sorting.
- Custom Data Storage Redirection & Migration: Added support under Settings to choose where database, profiles, and library files are stored (Default AppData, Portable executable folder, or Custom directory) with automatic file migration.
- Database Renaming and Auto-Migration: Renamed backing database to
pmm_database.dband added automatic transparent renaming/migration of legacymod-manager.dbfiles on launch.
Changed
- Profile Modal Layout Refinement: Redesigned the Manage Profiles layout and increased the modal width to 480px to accommodate additional action buttons cleanly.
Fixed
- Dependency Warnings False Positive: Resolved a bug where installing standard mods with metadata JSON files (such as
modinfo.jsonin Smart Breeding Planner) would show a false "PalSchema is missing" warning. - PalSchema Detection Precision: Restrained automatic PalSchema detection to JSON/JSONC configuration files located inside standard configuration folders (like
pals/,spawns/,items/, etc.), preventing false positive type detections. - Search Clutter Fix: Fixed a bug where virtual folders were still rendered in the grid when a search query was active, cluttering search results.
- Duplicate Mod Cards on Update: Fixed a bug where updating a Hybrid mod would cause its sub-component folders to be imported as duplicate standalone cards during background disk scans.
- Duplicate Mod Warning on Pak Updates: Resolved a bug where updating a
.pakmod with Nexus suffix identifiers in the ZIP filename failed to detect that the mod was already installed. - Platform-Specific Folder Filtering: Updated the installer to automatically strip platform wrapper folders (like
(STEAM),(XBOX),Win64,WinGDK) and conditionally discard inactive platform files depending on the active game edition (Steam vs Game Pass/GDK). - C++ DLL Mod Support: Improved UE4SS/Hybrid mod detection to recognize C++ mods that only package
.dllfiles in adllsfolder without any.luascripts. - Native UE4SS Mod Toggling: Resolved a bug where enabling or disabling native UE4SS mods failed to update the
mods.txtconfiguration file due to incorrect parent directory paths. The path resolution is now resolved dynamically and relatively to the mod's install folder across all game platforms.
