YAMM - Yet Another Mod Manager ------------------------------ A first-pass barebone prototype for a mod download/management system Goal is to work as a plugin for Mod Organizer This works by subscribing to various mod services, and then use published data from those to resolve dependencies and download mods in a distributed way. A lot is missing, but especially metadata like filesize and hash of files is missing. With a secure hash included, mod sites can let volunteers help with file hosting without having to trust them completely. The JSON itself can be generated from existing databases, either dynamically on request or static on updates. ------------------------ Running via GUI: 1. Install Python (version 2) from python.org 2. Then double click on the "yammy ui.pyw" file. - First start might be a bit slow as it has to set up the database and download metadata 3. Double click the mod you want installed 4. Click "Download mods" 5. Click "Start download" 6. All needed files will be downloaded to files/ subdir Mod Organizer plugin: /!\ This is very much work in progress, and generally doesn't work very well If you have copied the utils/plugin_MO.py to Mod Organizer's plugin directory, and checked "Install in Mod Organizer after download" it will try to install the mod to Mod Organizer, where Mod Organizer will pop up a dialoge asking for name and doing the usual install procedure. ------------------------ CLI Example use: # Build index and initialize DB python yamm.py add "http://terra.thelazy.net/yamm/mods.json" python yamm.py update python yamm.py search ui python yamm.py search defeat python yamm.py show SkyUI python yamm.py show Defeat python yamm.py download Defeat ----------------------- Actual mod installataion / management not included, since goal is to have MO do that. ----------------------- Troubleshooting: If something doesn't work: - Ensure you have the latest code - Delete mods.db and rebuild index
