v0.9.6-beta Elden Mod Loader GUI

Load order has been reworked to mimic the official behavior. The value you set in the app is what will be saved in "mod_loader_config.ini". You can now set multiple mods to load at the same time. A warning message is now displayed if you choose to set a mod to order 0 (load-instantly).

Optimizations

• No longer parse all the mod entries from ini when removing a mod
• Startup optimizations (boring)
• Check for if mod paths are saved in the incorrect state now works in all possible cases

Bug Fixes

• Also previous release broke the check of adding mods with duplicate names this is now fixed
• Fixed often blurry UI popups
• App now accounts for the example order set on a fresh install of the elden_mod_loader script
• Fixed a bug where sometimes a panic message would not be written to the log
• Fixed a crash if a mod file was saved pointing to a directory

v0.9.5-beta Elden Mod Loader GUI

Logging update, logs are now written to file "EML_gui_log.txt". Logs are overwritten every time the app is launched. Logs can be manually disabled by setting 'save_log' to 'false' in "EML_gui_config.ini". Lots of optimizations are also included in this update.

Please report any bugs, or app crashes, providing the log file would be helpful. Feel free to suggest any features that you would like to see implemented before the v1.0 release

Optimizations

  • Now only the modified data gets updated and set to the UI
  • Only on startup and running into an error does data get parsed from file and deserialized to update the UI
• Much better messages to be displayed to user and written to file if the user has logging enabled

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug where if a user manually set a load order entry, the app would not display the order correctly
  • Now entries not known to the app are bumped passed all known entries
  • Messages are now displayed if any order value has been modified or if an entry is not known by the app
• Fixed a bug where order data was not being displayed properly if the mod was in the disabled state
• Implemented a fix for a 'false hang' bug when interacting with a file dialog window, this bug should no longer be noticeable
• Fixed a logic error where an 'Access Denied' error condition was unreachable
• Fixed a visual bug in the UI when setting the order for a mod with more than one .dll file

v0.9.4-beta Elden Mod Loader GUI

Load order update, added the ability set each mods load order from within the app. There is now two tabs in the mod details page. The first tab, "Details" lists the full name of the mod and now displays all associated files in a list. You can now click on ".txt" and ".ini" files to open them up in notepad for easy editing. The second tab, "Edit" consists of the same edit-mod features as well as a new group of controls for setting the load order of the mod. If the mod has more than 1 associated ".dll" file you are given the option to pick what file to get hooked by the mod_loader. Upon setting the order the app automatically sorts the order of the mods to reflect order changes so it is easy to see the current load order of all your mods.

New features!

• Load order interface
• Click on text files to edit in notepad
• UI overhaul, light mode got new colors
• Use tab to swap between tabs on mod-details page
• Will now create "mod_loader_config.ini" if it is not found
• Scan mods now does an exhaustive check for determining
  if a previously registered dll file has not been found while scanning for
  mods in order to make sure no files get left in the disabled state, this check
  also ensures if the same not found dll has load order that gets removed as well

Bug fixes

• Cleaned up types used for message passing
• Fixed a focus scope bug - now tab works on the settings page
• File dialogs should now open up much faster
• UI is able to handle error conditions to calculate the displayed state correctly
• Startup process optimization and bug fixes
• Startup messages are now centered properly
• All encountered errors are now displayed to the user

v0.9.3-beta Elden Mod Loader GUI

Message passing update, added the ability for the native code to receive messages from the front end. This allows for dynamic series of prompts to the user. You will now be prompted if you want to install selected files outside of the game directory. Prompts will walk you walk you through the process and display a confirmation on what files will be copied to what directory. Now have the option to remove mod files from the game directory, after selecting to de-register a mod, the app will display a warning that files will be permanently deleted. On first startup the app will now prompt you you want it to scan for installed mods. This can also be triggered in the settings.

• Install mods inside the app
• Scan /mods/ for mods already installed to auto import
