ModMyFactory - mod manager and more

[Artentus]

This update adds an auto-updater so you won't have to download future releases manually anymore.

[recall2000]

Hi,

Some (hopefully constructive) feedback from the latest version (some present in previous version also) if it's helpful.

• About window clipped on the right hand side (minor I know)
• First launch, can't add modpacks. Have to exit and re-launch, then it works OK. It actually does create the modpack, but doesn't display it until the next launch when you see "New Modpack" in the list (multiple if you click multiple times). This appears to be something to do with changing the settings to "Installation directory" on the first launch. If I leave the settings as is, then adding a modpack on the first launch does work. Again, minor really.
• If already downloading a mod and you queue another it crashes once the one currently downloads finishes. It displays a message in the status bar; "Missing key 'ueueFormat'" (missing a 'q'?)
• Can't scroll through the mods in a modpack if you add enough mods to it that you have to scroll. Different behaviour depending on whether it's the first modpack or not. Once the scrolling breaks it seems not to add mods to the modpack when dropping others. I restarted and it still won't let me add more mods to the "broken" modpack
• Downloading "Todo list" v 18.0.1 (latest version currently) results in "The file to be loaded was not a valid mod file". Same if adding via zip file. The previous version adds fine. The same happens with Disco Science, although happens for both available versions for this mod. Both work fine in MMF1.

The only thing really that's stopping me using it currently is the modpack scrolling issue as I have some big-ish modpacks. That, and not being able to add Disco Science; I can't live without my Disco Science

Thanks for all your work on this. It is very much appreciated.

[Artentus]

Thank you for all these reports.

I have just looked into those mods that aren't loading and it seems the 3rd party ZIP decompressor I'm using doesn't like those two archives specifically.
I don't know enough about either the ZIP format nor the library to fix this myself, I have to inform the author about this and wait for a response.

[recall2000]

I'd not thought about that; they open with 7zip, so assumed they were OK. The downloaded zips won't add, however if I unzip and rezip them they add fine, so you're 100% correct about there being something odd with these 2. No worries and thanks again.

[Artentus]

I did figure it out. They're so-called Zip64 files which are not format-compatible with regular Zip files.
However the fix was fairly straight forward, just need to essentially tell the decompressor Zip64 is a possibility and it starts working. ^^

Maybe this is the wrong tool for me, but from what I understand about MMF it does seem really cool.

I'm looking for a tool that basically just manages the saves themselves. I couldn't care less if 2 saves need the same mods (because they're tiny), and the in-game mod management is perfectly fine. All of the modpack stuff is super confusing.

With MMF let's say I have 2 saves, Vanilla and Bobs...

Launching Vanilla would launch the game with something like C:\Factorio\bin\x64\factorio.exe --mod-directory "C:\MMF\No mods"
Launching Bobs would launch the game with something like C:\Factorio\bin\x64\factorio.exe --mod-directory "C:\MMF\Bobs mods"

Let's say I want to start a new game, like Brave New World. The mod directory would be empty of course at first (C:\MMF\BNW mods), but in-game I would add the appropriate mods. It wouldn't matter if I add other mods as it would be separate from every game.

I hope this is making sense

[Artentus]

MMF does not use separate directories for modpacks. It simply enables all the mods in the selected pack and disables all the others.
To start a new save with a new modpack you'd first have to create that modpack in MMF and then start the game with it enabled and start the map. Then you can directly start into said map with your modpack using a shortcut created with MMF.

[Artentus]

• Add functionality to update mods
• Fix scrolling issue in modpack list
• Fix incompatibility with mods using Zip64 format

I'm bumping to Beta now since all major features are done. I will now focus on polishing (for example the export GUI, it's horrible) and stability.
When I stop receiving reports I will declar stable and then go back to consider some additional features. I still want to look at options for mod settings and blueprints and I also have some open suggestions on GitHub.

[recall2000]

Excellent. I will try this tonight with my current B&A mods and report back.

EDIT: Couple of observations:
- Clicking New Modpack doesn't appear to do anything, but exiting MMf2 and re-opening and the new mod pack is there as "New Modpack"
- Deleting a modpack sometimes crashes the app
- Creating a shortcut points to the desktop for the exe C:\Users\Recall\Desktop\ModMyFactoryGUI.exe and not where MMF2 is running from (in my case it should be F:\ModMyFactory2\ModMyFactoryGUI.exe)

However, on the plus side:
- Zip64 working fine now - mods previously affected (Disco Science and ToDo List) now add OK
- Scrolling in the modpack list appears to works OK
- Mod updating working

Log below is from a clean install (folder in AppData deleted), then click add a new modpack a couple of times (nothing appears to happen). Close MMF2. Re-open MMF2. 2 new modpacks are there. Then click Delete "New modpack" on one of them and app crashes.

However, that aside, and changing the shortcut path to point to the exe, and it does work OK. Cheers.

Thank you for testing all of this, it's very helpful.
I hope I have taken care of all of these issues now.

Also I will not be spamming the forum with changelogs anymore since new updates and their changes are directly displayed in MMF.

[recall2000]

Nice; that looks like the new version has sorted the new mod pack/shortcut (minor) issues. Only gave it a quick test, but seems OK. I'll try and set up all my modpacks as I had in MMF at the weekend. I'll do a clean setup and download the mods from the portal and try some updates etc..

[molden]

Hello there.

I downloaded and unpacked the win64 version of MMF2 but it seems to get stuck on the "Searching for updates..." popup.

The log seems to indicate that it already resolved that there are no available updates but the GUI is stuck.

I downloaded and unpacked the win64 version of MMF2 but it seems to get stuck on the "Searching for updates..." popup.

I had this problem as well. For now, you can work around it by just pressing alt-f4, and it will close the popup but not the whole application. Then you can disable automatic updates in the settings.

Oh ok. Thanks for the workaround.

I hope version 4.1.1 has resolved this issue

[hcoutdopi]

not sure if I have a senior moment or not, I thought in MMF(1), I could create a few mod packs, and then when I create the shortcut, I could select multiple of those mod packs.

for example, say I have the following mod packs
QoL
QuickStart
Pyanodons

in MMF(1), I could select all 3 when I create the shortcut, but in MMF2, I can select one only, so I need to create another mod pack to have those 3 mod packs nested under the new one.

[Artentus]

You must be misremembering, this never worked. But you can put all the modpacks you want to enable into another modpack and start with that.

Hi, I updated from within the program and now it wont launch. No errors, no windows pop up or anything. I ran from a console and it just displays

Code: Select all

[19:41:05 INF] Operating system: Microsoft Windows 10.0.19042
[19:41:05 INF] Runtime: .NET 5.0.0

and closes immediately. Any idea?

[edit]

I reinstalled with the universal archive on the github releases page and I started getting a "Don't have .NET 5 installed" error - installing that allowed it to finally open. Very weird, I totally thought I had .NET 5 installed.

[Artentus]

I am aware of this issue. All platform-specific releases are currently broken due to some error in the build process I haven't yet identified.

The universal release works and runs on all platforms but requires the .Net 5.0 runtime installed. You can use it until I can figure this one out.


Edit: I just got some new information about this and managed to resolve it, hotfix is already up.
If you have already updated to the faulty version you'll have to redownload MMF2 (your settings will be saved), if you haven't updated yet updating is now safe again.
