All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

[1.3.0] - 2026-08-05

Added

  • Build & Package Tool (Mod Packer): Added a new Build workspace tab inside the manager, allowing creators to organize, structure, and bundle mod files into clean, compliant archive formats.
    • Visual Projects Hub (Dashboard): A dedicated grid workspace representing stashed mod packaging projects as folders (📁). Supports creating, double-click loading, renaming, and deleting stashes.
    • Auto-Scanning Directory Stashing: Persists source directories and file paths along with target overrides instead of flat file snapshots. Re-scans active local directories automatically upon load, picking up new files seamlessly.
    • Staging Tree Drag & Drop: Visual List View and Collapsible Tree View of staged files, allowing files to be dragged and dropped into parent folder nodes to re-arrange their destination paths inside the archive.
    • Auto-Structuring Heuristics: Automatically organizes loose files into compliant folder layouts based on Mod Type (UE4SS, PalSchema, Pak, LogicMods, Hybrid) and name (e.g. mapping Lua to Mods/<mod_name>/Scripts/ and Pak to Pal/Content/Paks/~mods/).
    • Standardized Metadata Generator: Automatically generates a standard modinfo.json metadata file containing Name, Version, Author, and Description.
    • Multi-Format Archiving: Compresses the final workspace into clean, correctly structured .zip (natively in Rust), .7z, or .rar (utilizing system CLI tools) files.
  • Mod Conflict & Compatibility Scanner: Added a new Scan tab that analyzes enabled mods to identify table collisions (PalSchema row overrides) and hook overlaps (multiple mods hooking the same engine function in Lua).
    • Side-by-Side Split View: Renders Lua hook conflicts on the left and PalSchema table/row overlaps on the right as collapsible cards for clear, sequential visibility matching loading orders.
    • Active Mod Registries Content Summary: Added a collapsible bottom registry indexing all active row edits and engine hook signatures per mod, with dynamic type badges (UE4SS, PalSchema, Hybrid), and supporting 2-column grid rendering.
    • Configuration & Asset Exclusions: Excludes asset-only mods (.pak / .ucas / .utoc files) and internal manager metadata (.pmm.json) from the scanning registry.
    • Dynamic Hybrid Path Resolution: Automatically scans and associates both physical deployment folders (the main UE4SS directory and the PalSchema/mods/ subdirectory) for Hybrid mods, resolving content correctly.
  • Internal Database Inspector & Editor: Added a new DB workspace tab for advanced users to inspect and debug the live application state.
    • Dynamic Tabbed Data Grid: Supports browsing active tables (Mods, Profiles, and Settings) via an interactive grid layout.
    • Live Raw JSON Editor: Edit selected database records with inline validation to ensure proper format before saving.
    • Re-scan Integration: Prompting confirmation modal after saving edits to trigger a full mod directory re-scan to immediately reflect changes.
  • Top-Right Toast Alerts: Relocated toast notifications to the top-right corner to prevent overlapping with packer footer controls, adding a smooth slide-down animation and border shadows.
  • Warning Toast Alert Level: Added warning toasts featuring warning-tailored dark/orange aesthetics and union type support in TypeScript.
