Hi effgee,
I need more details as I'm not reproducing the bug on my side.
Also, please use the bug tracker to discuss issues that arise. At the moment I sometimes have problems, but they are solely due to errors made by mod developers when describing modinfo.json.
Hi maximalmax90
This is somewhat broken, not sure why.
Message window pops up, accept the query and then it silently fails.
I minimally modified the config location in ( vs1clickmodinstaller) due to using the AppImage distribution
Changed
_default_client_settings = f"{os.path.expanduser('~')}/.config/VintagestoryData/clientsettings.json"
to
# Added config location for flatpak version
_default_client_settings = f"{os.path.expanduser('~')}/.var/app/at.vintagestory.VintageStory/config/VintagestoryData/clientsettings.json"
and the handler is picking up the config properly.
Running in console, xdg-open vintagestorymodinstall://buzzybees@1.0.1 for example gives
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/vs1clickmodinstaller", line 88, in <module>
if messagebox.askyesno(title=_title,message=f"Install version {_mod_ver} of {_mod_name} mod?"): install(_get_file, _get_url, _mod_name, _mod_ver)
^^^^^^^^^
NameError: name '_get_file' is not defined
Seems like perhaps the api format has changed a bit I haven't investigated more. At first glance the json parsing looks correct but I am not sure.

This one is missing modID in modinfo.json file. Having it installed threw error in line 64 when trying to install anything else.
Teslov
Can you give an example of a mod with which a similar situation occurs? This is just for understanding) I have made changes, I will update the files soon.
Heeeey, works perfectly but you might want to replace line 64 with `if _modinfo.get('modid') == _mod_id:` instead of `if _modinfo['modid'] == _mod_id:`.
get() returns None instead of erroring and some mods do not provide modid and having them installed breaks the installer.
