Version 4.1 of the Mod Loader has been released!
This is an optional minor hotfix!
https://github.com/vlcoo/MvLO-ModLoader?tab=readme-ov-file#downloads
Biggest new features:
- The program should now run lighter on the CPU, avoiding lag when playing.
- Portable builds are now just a single exe instead of zips.
- Some UI refinements.
- Minor bug fixes for version listing & installation process.

Hi vic

@dim spire @autumn ingot @west cradle
sorry for bothering you, but this might interest you. pls try grabbing v4.1 and testing it, then tell me if it fixed your lag issue. Tip: the "hide window" option in Settings might help too. if not, you can always go back to v3.

yes, nothing gets deleted when updating to a newer version (or even installing an older one)
though v1 and v2 can't connect to the servers anymore so you can't see the newest mods. there's no reason to use those two, anyway

i had a fear of this happening yeah
i think it's just graphics incompatibility and there's nothing we can do (other than stay on v3 or v4)
basically v4.1 switched to a better graphics mode that's much lower on the cpu but it's not compatible everywhere. v4 and below have the exact opposite happen to them

Is this a false positive?
Yes, it's a false positive. Many people have been using it and I haven't had any reports of problems after running it or installing it so you can rest easy
The fact that only 1 of the 70 checks failed should be a good indication that this is a fluke too. My guess is that it's flagging the fact that the mod loader downloads executables (the mods) and opens them in the background for you when you tell it to

hybrid helm
i'm tired of storing mod datas in a huge json and tar file

i mean json is fine tbh lol
youre not at the scale that you really need a db... theres less than 100 mods, no?
left plume
Json is only for the list of versions and download URLs
hybrid helm
do you actually store copies of the mods or something?
also... mysql and not sqlite? smh.
left plume
The "mod data" (icons, names, descriptions) are just...... (don't laugh) a bunch of Godot resources saved as a file and packed into a tar archive
hybrid helm
mvl's auth server uses sqlite ;)
left plume
youre not at the scale that you really *need* a db... theres less than 100 mods,...
Yeah, less than half that
Also I chose MySQL bc I'm more familiar with it and I have a place I'm alr paying for I'd host it on
hybrid helm
ah fair
left plume
All in all, I just want an easier way to add/change/remove mod datas anytime and anywhere. Currently it's very manual. A DB is not fully necessary
hybrid helm
tbh a dedicated database server for the auth server would be amazing
right now i have to fuckin make apis that i have to make get/post requests to if i want do interact with the auth server's DB
or I have to download the entire 300mb+ db to open it on my own computer lol
hybrid helm
How many megabytes?!?
300
every single time a new player joins it generates a new user entry, alongside potentially made nickname + ip entries
multiplied by 3+ years
left plume
I see, that's why
hybrid helm
i mean.... currently theres a bug somewhere so its not even RECORDING ip logs. but its such a pain to work on it
left plume
Well, I think that's a few reasons to migrate to mysql
Lol
I personally use MySQL Workbench to manage the db schema (it has a fairly nice diagram creator from which you can actually generate the schema afterwards, and supports "uploading" it to remote servers), and DataGrip to manage the db contents (it's like a sql console that also supports remote access. Not that light of a program but works pretty well. Not sure about the pricing, I got it for free from my university 😇)
Aaand a nice little flask server with sqlalchemy to bring it all together.
left plume
But if you switched you could just SSH into your server and manage it easily... Think about it
I'm not being paid to say this
Anyway, I'll think about how I want to do this. Maybe I won't need a db after all, just some sort of unified data format to store the mod info and urls
And most importantly, a quick and dirty dashboard that would allow me to add mods from my phone or wtv instead of having to go on my pc :sob:
Might have to make a web app... 🤢
hybrid helm

a webapp would be overkill lmao

"[character] over Mario" mods, here we come
hybrid helm
hm...
maybe I should allow out-of-bounds character ids
and default to mario if the character doesnt exist
so OTHER people can see custom characters if their mod supports it

Version 5.0 of the Mod Loader has been released!
https://github.com/vlcoo/MvLO-ModLoader?tab=readme-ov-file#downloads
Not many new features per se, but this version has a new, fresh backend that makes the app loading quite faster! It also helps me manage and update the mod gallery much more efficiently.
Here's everything else:
- Added the ability to set a custom mod to appear in the 'Vanilla' tab. Looking at you, vanilla-compatible mods.
- Implemented a game server status checker. You can now know if the game's down.
- Cleared up the UI in the mod viewer and the 'Storage Usage' tab.
- Mod installation process can be canceled if it gets stuck.
- Filter settings in the Mod Gallery are now remembered after a reboot.
- Added 4 extra languages (spanish, german (credits to Lust), french, japanese).
-# French and Japanese have been auto-translated so they might be inaccurate; sorry about that. Use only if necessary.
left plume
Important things!:
Versions 4.1 and 4 are still up, and this update is optional (though recommended). You can download the Setup to update the app seamlessly without losing data. The old servers are now in maintenance mode and only update once per day instead of once per hour.

That's a great idea. Would the shortcut open the mod directly or through the mud loader? (So it counts playtime and all of that)
Ig we could have an option for both

Ig we could have an option for both
ok, made a mockup. i'm not too happy with the names of the options though, they sound a bit unclear. but i don't wanna make them longer. does anyone think they're ok or
left plume
ezzz
the "launch directly" shortcut won't make it count up your playtime btw because it doesn't launch the mod loader
but it can be a nice and quick option for booting up a mod
for fellow developers: this is so cursed. but it works with zero deps
oh wait i think the shortcut's name should contain the mod's version too. for clarity. smth like ModName (Version) i.e., "vic's Custom Match-inator (v17.0.11)"

hybrid helm
ewww these margins have been so inconsistent this whole time
how's the UI system in godot?
is it like a html/css-like type thing?
left plume
No, I'd say it's quite different from that. You put components together in a hierarchy and then each one has certain unique properties you can modify. There are also tons of container types, which is excellent for layouting. As for styling, you can either set visual properties to each of the aforementioned components and containers, or make a "theme" resource that gets applied to all components in the project, for consistency and reusability
The first part about the ui components in a hierarchy is fundamentally pretty similar to Unity. But I find Godot's more comfortable, I think partly because of the wider range of components there are available to you
left plume
ewww these margins have been so inconsistent this whole time
An example to the "theme" feature: here, both the background for the "Vanilla" tab and the background for the button of each mod in the gallery look the same (black, rounded, with a shadow). Even though they're different components (Panel and Button respectively), they share the same "style" resource that gives them that look. So if I changed the radius to be square for example, it'd be reflected everywhere that's relevant
The inconsistent margins is a consequence of me not using a singular constant in the global theme, and instead hard coding it for each tab individually
Remember my sonic adventure main menu thing? It uses basically the same UI components and theming implementation. So I hope it's clear that it's quite flexible, since you can essentially create and save your own custom components by mixing existing ones and doing some scripting!

The server scrapes itch.Io and GitHub to check for updates every hour. So if the game updates 5 minutes before the programmed scrape, you'd have to wait before it appears in the gallery

The refresh Db buttons checks the server's latest scrape, it doesn't force it to scrape anew
1 hour between updates is the most balanced I've found between not missing out on much, and not getting blocked by itch and GitHub for spamming them

It's that pesky graphics driver incompatibility.

What's wrong with my mod loader? It's not registering my hours playing mods and I even saw my time playing vanilla get reduced

make sure only one instance of ml is open at one time since having two or more can cause overwriting of old savedata. also, the play time is only counted if ml is open while you play
those are the only things i can think of rn

pls visit https://mvloml.vlcoo.net/api/mods in your browser and tell me what you see
left plume
Looks like the mod loader can't access the internet? Maybe try the portable version
I'm not sure what else to suggest

yo what version do I use on a win 64 (stupid question)
crude spire
if yours is 64, it doesnt really matter but 64 shows more compatibility and performance
and if 32, you need to choose 32, you cant choose 64
left plume
Mvlo mod loader is not available for 32 bits unfortunately
left plume
added an option to quit out of the mod loader after launching a mod. in the current version, one can only minimize it ("hide" setting)
a warning: your playtime will not be counted if you choose this option
left plume
i would also like to add a way to read the changelog for a mod (if the author has posted one) but man i'm facing some hassle
for githug i'd have to download the entire releases list i think which is kind of a lot sometimes
and for itch there isn't an api endpoint for devlogs so i'd have to scrape each post to get its contents which will take long

New Money Mod Loading
left plume
i don't think anything else needs adding?
left plume
i can't believe i left this in the current version
so v5 won't have "mod loader has a new update!" popup sob
left plume
Update: added MvLO_takoyakiMod.
(the mod currently sits at the bottom of the gallery if you sort by "recently updated" because it has no downloadables associated with it. sorry for the inconvenience)
left plume
is that possible
All mods in the mod gallery are added by me, and all versions of each mod (and vanilla) are added by their respective authors. So no, the user can't add additional builds to the program
The "storage usage" tab is 100% local though, so technically you can edit the program's config (%appdata%/Godot/app_userdata/MvLO Mod Loader/Installs/index.tres) to add a new entry to whatever exe you want in there
But it's an unofficial, not recommended practice
crude spire
alright

Hello!! Version 6.0 of the Mod Loader has been released!
https://github.com/vlcoo/MvLO-ModLoader?tab=readme-ov-file#downloads
Here's what's:
- Added "Create shortcut" feature, to launch mods straight from your Desktop.
- Added News tab to see posts from Vanilla (written by ipod).
- Added Changelog tab to each mod to see what's new if there are updates (written by the mod's author).
- Added "Quit on launch" option, to completely close the mod loader when starting or finishing to play a mod (it's in Settings).
- Implemented different launch method for macOS, to hopefully make the program more compatible with it (mac users pls let me know if anything's for the better).
- Tiny UI refinements including a new logo.
-# as usual, if the program won't launch pls use the compatibility build on the google drive
ok bye, maybe i'll add 2.1 addon support next?!

how do i uninstall v5
