Features

I installed this, wasnt what i tought and then i couldnt uninstall it and whenever i tried it made my whole pc slow down to crawl, couldnt even unpause the AV. I managed to delete the folder and its registry entry but it still shows up in my installed programs and i cant do anything with it, cant remove it or anything

Had to manually remove everything related to it on files and on the registry. Win 10.

I Coded this software on Windows 11 and have no experienced the issues your having mod packs are stored in zip files and the Mod Pack Configurator will zip them up for you using the name supplied in the VSMPLModpack.json all value editable within the Mod Pack Configurator 
if you have any issues sending me the mod pack via discord i can take a look at how you have it setup and go from there ChocolateLovely

💬 ChocolateLovely, Aug 26th at 5:26 PM

Another concern:

When you click Save Mod Pack, it doesn't always update the appropriate json files.

💬 ChocolateLovely, Aug 26th at 3:48 PM

Takeaways from Discord:

Back up your mod pack before clicking "Package Mod."  There will not be a confirmation window and if there's an error you'll lose everything.

The 'Open Mod Pack' button is fundamentally broken in at least Windows 11.  It requires a zip file, and will spit out an I/O error.

It is suggested that placing your ClientModList.json and VSMPLModpack.json into C:\Program Files\DeltaStrium\Vintage Story Mod Pack Launcher\Creators\Mod Pack\Open will cause the Mod Configurator to load the appropriate files when started.  However, it does not.  At least not in Windows 11.

I'm at a complete loss over where to go from here; and at this point, I'd suggest waiting a while, for the bugs to get worked out.

I will add more ways to manage mod packs with new versions
will have an option for just having them within the mod pack file itself rather than using links to download mods from the the site i did it that way so mod authors knew how many downloads there mods was getting but i can make it an option at some point

💬 Aerra, Aug 17th at 10:43 PM

A_British_Lass I believe you can host your local mods on Google Drive or Dropbox and generate a URL that way, if you're still looking for a work around :)

Can't say I've tested it myself yet though, I'll get back to you with an update if I find the time.

💬 A_British_Lass, Aug 8th at 5:04 PM

is there any way for me to just drag and drop the mod files into a pack?

 

i want to use this tool as a means of managing my own local mods, however the only way i see to add mods is via urls
any response is appreciated, thanks!

 

💬 DrakeBDAuthor, May 23rd at 5:05 PM

Not a problem at all will keep enhancing the launcher with new features too for now working on the Mod Pack Configurator to replace the mod list configurator will make it quicker and easier to create the modpacks thats for sure Aerra

💬 Aerra, May 21st at 7:04 PM

Thank you so much for this, it's a life-saver for server admins.

💬 DrakeBDAuthor, May 21st at 6:28 PM

Have updated the Website now with instructions on how to make the Mod Packs for the launcher while pushing out v1.5.0.1 of the launcher :D

💬 DrakeBDAuthor, May 20th at 9:33 PM

Just an FYI for v1.5.0.0 our website is still showing instructions for the 1.4.3.2 version please follow the template on how to setup a mod pack for now until i get the website update tomorrow with the new way of doing JSON files for the mod packs themselves :D
if needing an example mod pack can be added via our own mod pack for creators looking inside the mod pack zip will help to understand how its setup https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/emk5u49wkczfd1u6sj2ob/DeltaCraft-Kingdoms.zip?rlkey=r35s9gd2j6i8roqs11gwycrcz&dl=1 for users if you want to try it can add it direct to the launcher just copy the link and click the add button paste and download that easy

I have one issue with a linux version and thats actually testing it but i am looking into making it linux compatible too Kazii_the_avali

💬 Kazii_the_avali, Apr 24th at 9:20 PM

i am curious if there will be a linux version?

💬 DrakeBDAuthor, Jan 17th at 8:11 PM

Head on over to our discord can help more there we have a dedicated section for the launcher to discuss things what your asking is doable in the launcher though

This launcher happens to be the only maintained pack creator/launcher, so that effectively makes you a monopoly in the market place.

> No This is used for server owners to make modpacks and distribute to players making it easy to install Mod Packs

If I want to use this to create a local modpack for my SP/LAN player world, how would I go about it? I would appreciate if you made a video tutorial on how your application can work as a singleplayer modpack maker/launcher?

I wish to keep my mod packs separate and have a vanilla client handy, should we want to test vanilla gameplay, or when game bugs out (more often than anyone here wants to acknowlege and standard line is "remove the mods and test it"). 

💬 Ruyeex, Sep 16th 2023 at 10:22 PM

Perfect

Exactly I was going for

Glad it worked as intended but i would like to let you know the issues with the progress bar should be fixed now but V1.4 will be very different to this and act in a very different way Have implimented most of the changes in the Planned Features section so the UI is Completely different now.

allowing to Add Mod Packs to the launcher and enable them to install being able to update them with ease with a click of a button should make the process easier for players to just grab the Launcher and server owners give the link to there modpack :D

💬 Aspenizcool, Sep 4th 2023 at 10:26 PM

 you use this to update installed mods?

💬 JefferZ, Aug 27th 2023 at 6:12 PM

I have tried it and it works perfectly, I see a lot of use in this and the fact that you can customize the appearance seems wonderful to me, with this you can create mod packs for less experienced users, but to make a complaint, a folder of mods would be nice lang to translate the output messages.

Oh and I almost forgot, but when the installation is finished, a visual error remains in the loading bar despite having finished the installation correctly.

Loading bar stops there after finishing.
