<li>Newly redesigned Install/Uninstall tab provides more user
friendly display of installed mods</li>
<li>New filtering of installed mods. Checkboxes allow you to toggle
the display of Official EA/Bioware content and 3rd party
content</li>
<li>Filter box lets you filter displayed mods with user input
strings</li>
<li>Initial support for installation of mod packages directly
without manual packaging. This needs lots of testing and will need
further tweaking and handling of cases. Just drag and drop the ZIP
or DAZIP file onto damodder and click install.</li>
<li>fixed bug with reading in mod details with a blank Version
tag</li>
</ul>
<p>Here is 1.9 gang and we're almost to Beta 2.0! I want to work
through the 1.9's as we iron out the rough edges of the new install
UI and installation of mods WITHOUT manually pre-packaging them.
Just download the mod from wherever you download the, and drop it
on DAModder. They won't all work, but it should work with most
standard forms of distribution.</p>
<h2>Known Issues</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>If you drag a Core Override mod .ZIP that is not compatible with
DAModder, the application will try to determine the basics that it
needs, UID & Title from the name of the zip file. It will then
open a dialog asking you to verify what it picked, and edit or add
new details if you desire. The button at the bottom of that dialog
says "Install", but when you click it, the mod does
<strong>not</strong> install. You still need to click Install back
on the main screen, just like normal. This is obviously a confusing
UI issue and will be ironed out.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>If a Core Override mod is packaged in an odd way, DAModder may
still try to install it and make a mess putting files in weird
places. If this happens please let me know what mod caused it.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Beta 1.9 is attached to this post, but always scan the
rest of the thread in case an updated release is made</strong></p></div>jwvanderbecktag:damodder.tenderapp.com,2009-12-02:Comment/6848002009-12-07T01:47:45Z2009-12-07T01:47:45ZBeta 1.9 Available<div><p>Hey gang,</p>
<p>The goal of Beta 1.9 is to iron out the Install & Uninstall
experience from the <strong>player's</strong> perspective. I want
to focus hard on that, smooth out the rough edges and find the bugs
that are lurking. As issues are found I will release updates in
1.9, and then we will move to Beta 2.0 and start focusing on the
builder packaging tools.</p>
<p>I really want you to look at this first tab, the
Install/Uninstall tab as if the program were finished. Let me know
of any issues at all.</p>
<p>I will also be starting a new thread to list mods that are not
installing or uninstalling properly so I can follow up on them to
see what the issue is. So if you have an issue with any mod, please
post it in that thread.</p></div>jwvanderbecktag:damodder.tenderapp.com,2009-12-02:Comment/6848002009-12-07T05:34:32Z2009-12-07T05:34:32ZBeta 1.9 Available<div><h1>Beta 1.9.1 is Released</h1>
<h2>Changelog</h2>
<ul>
<li>DAModder window is now resizable. Currently only the
Install/Uninstall tab plays nice when resized. The others just
won't change size, even if you make the overall window larger</li>
<li>DAModder window can be maximized</li>
<li>The Install/Uninstall tab is split into two panes, left and
right. The split can be dragged left or right to resize the two
areas as desired.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Known Issues</h2>
<ul>
<li>The View README button is not operational yet</li>
<li>The Configure button is not operational yet</li>
</ul></div>jwvanderbecktag:damodder.tenderapp.com,2009-12-02:Comment/6848002009-12-08T03:57:16Z2009-12-08T03:57:16ZBeta 1.9 Available<div><h1>Beta 1.9.2 is Released</h1>
<h2>r55</h2>
<ul>
<li>Installed Mod filter will now filter on Publisher in addition
to Title</li>
</ul>
<h2>r56</h2>
<ul>
<li>Initial support for parsing mod details using localization
information. This means that is a mod has CDATA for your local
language, DAModder will display that information instead of the
default English.</li>
<li>DAModder now supports Markdown inspired formatting of mod
descriptions. This allows mod authors to do some basic formatting
of their descriptions in such a way that is still plainly readable
outside of DAModder, but in DAModder the descriptions will be
formatted. If you have The Stone Prisoner or Warden's Keep
installed, you will see this in the description.</li>
<li>Some more UI shuffling and re-arranging. Still deciding on what
works best.</li>
</ul>
<h2>r57</h2>
<ul>
<li>Fixed bug that prevented Drag and Drop of mod files onto
webform</li>
<li>Added ModInstallProgress form to show installation progress of
mod</li>
<li>Double clicking in the filter box quick clears the filter</li>
</ul>
<h2>r58</h2>
<ul>
<li>InstallMod function created to consolidate code</li>
<li>When a mod is dropped onto DAModder, it will now automatically
ask if you want to install the mod. You no longer have to drop, and
then press Install Mod on the main screen.</li>
<li>Files can now be dropped in the area of the webform</li>
<li>readme and changelog files will now be detected for some mods,
and copied with the mod. This is initial code and will currently
only work for .DAZIP files inside of .ZIP files (DAZIP and a readme
zipped up)</li>
<li>If a readme was detected, then it will be displayed after mod
installation is completed</li>
<li>cr\lf is now converted to a<br>
in DAMarkdown.Convert instead of an entire paragraph. This provides
better formatting.</li>
<li>DAMarkdown is supported in readme and changelog files</li>

<ul>
<li>You can now drag and drop folders into DAModder for
installation. If the mod you want to install is a Core Override mod
in an archive format DAModder can not handle such as RAR or 7z,
then you can extract the mod to a folder, then drag that folder
into DAModder. Drag the folder that contains the files.</li>
</ul>
<p>At this point pretty much every mod should be installable by
DAModder, unless its just plain weird, or a mod with multiple
packages which will require the sub-packaging system to handle.</p></div>jwvanderbecktag:damodder.tenderapp.com,2009-12-02:Comment/6848002009-12-08T06:47:53Z2009-12-08T06:47:53ZBeta 1.9 Available<div><p><strong>Important</strong> The above will not work for .DAZIP
files. What I mean by that is if someone has taken a DAZIP file and
a readme for example, and put them in a RAR file, you can't extract
the RAR then drag the folder with the DAZIP in. That won't work.
Just drag the DAZIP itself in.</p></div>jwvanderbecktag:damodder.tenderapp.com,2009-12-02:Comment/6848002009-12-08T06:53:50Z2009-12-08T06:53:50ZBeta 1.9 Available<div><p>cool, i think that should make allmost any mod now installable,

<li>Added H1 and H2 support to DAMarkdown in the "Setext" style.
For an H1, put the header on one line, and on the 2nd line put

<h2>r69</h2>

resizeable and the two "panes" can be adjusted in size as
well.</li>

<p>I tested 50 mods for install/uninstall (not if they are working
in the game) issues, including all top 25 and all files of the
month from danexus.</p>
<p>Allmost all could be installed (the ones that couldnt got listed
in the seperate thread), alot of them needed a setup in a seperate
folder for core override mods, but that is nothing that can be
changed from us, its up to the modders to make their mods more user
friendly with DAModder if they use the core override folder.</p>
<p><strong>I had not a single error when
installing/uninstalling</strong></p></div>Alex "Alexspeed" Bachnertag:damodder.tenderapp.com,2009-12-02:Comment/6848002009-12-08T23:49:30Z2009-12-08T23:49:30ZBeta 1.9 Available<div><p>Hmm actually mods without that subfolder should still install
properly. Are you saying they don't?</p></div>jwvanderbecktag:damodder.tenderapp.com,2009-12-02:Comment/6848002009-12-08T23:50:44Z2009-12-08T23:51:19ZBeta 1.9 Available<div><p>i meant those with rar & 7zips, the zip-core-override ones
