    @Mereth: do you have an idea for my PAMM problem on the previous page?

    Is there any option to change the setup folder (make it not "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\pamm" but "C:\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\pamm" for example) ?
    Because if people have windows or MacOS with language which differs from English there appears problem if "username" consists of non ASCII letters: "Non- ASCII characters found in 'c\Users\Änglagården\AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation'. Sorry, but Planetary Annihilation is known to not work properly with unicode characters"

    Sorry but no, it seems you have one of the atom shell / chromium sub process crashing hard. I you have some technical skills, you can try to edit the main.js and modify the parameters used to start the BrowserWindow or add some parameters to the chromium process to disable any hardware acceleration and stuff and see if it helps.

    PAMM isn't the issue, PA is. You could have PAMM wherever you want, PA will always look for mods in your AppData (and Linux/OSX similar) folder.

    Thank you for replying Mereth! Your post inspired my to try Compatibility Mode: Windows XP. Now it works. :D

    EDIT: I spoke too soon... :'(

    Some tests:
    mainWindow.loadUrl('http://www.google.com'); - Works
    mainWindow.loadUrl('file://' + __dirname + '/index.html'); - Works if I replace the content of <body> with "hello world!".

    So there is something in index.html that is giving problems. I'll keep looking...

    EDIT2: @Mereth: The problem is caused by resize.js. I took out the line "<script src="assets/js/resize.js"></script>" from index.html, and now it seems to work fine. I tried having a look inside resize.js, there is nothing in there that stands out to me as a possible cause of the problem. But then, I have never programmed in JavaScript before, so... ;)

    Oops, OP was posted in the wrong thread.

    So I will just use this post to say thank you very much, PAMM is awesome. Uber shoulda done this themselves though as part of vanilla PA.

    Configured it to show detailed view on the installed mods lists


    Now PAMM won't show any mod in the installed mods lists nor will it show data from the available mods list. PAHub isn't displaying any data from the available mods list.

    It's unrelated to what you did. There's a certificate error from https://pamm-mereth.rhcloud.com/api/mod (the list of available mods).
    The non-https version works (http://pamm-mereth.rhcloud.com/api/mod).

    Quick workaround:
    Open <pamm dir>\resources\app\assets\js\pamm-api.js, edit line 7 to change https to http.

    Bug found: If you have a folder in the <pa data dir>\log (and it's the most recently updated item in that folder), PAMM errors out with "Illegal operation on directory". Need to add a check in findLastRunPath() to ensure that you only consider files when finding the latest log.

    Why would it break my installed mods lists on PAMM though?

    Because it breaks the available mods list, which breaks (pauses) the whole app before the installed lists can render.

    Are we talking about PAMM or PAHUB (or both) here ? PAMM still works locally when the mod api is down. It's only if the mod api take a long time to respond, that you have the page staying in a loading state for the duration (you can see the animated image in the bottom right). As far as I can see, the https is OK atm.

    I can add a check, safety first, but it hardly a bug when there should not have any directories here anyway.

    This was PAMM (PA Hub couldn't load the mods either though). It's ok now, but the certificate was erroring earlier. I left PAMM for a little while, though granted probably not long enough for it to time out. Can't remember if the download icon was still going.

    True, very niche case :p

    Just made a test with a website using a self signed certificate. Ajax request just hang, like it's waiting for the user confirmation without showing it and PAMM stay in "Loading" state indefinitely. Good to know :\

    One thing that would be help is if programs like PAMM and sites like pa-mods (@trialq) made it far more obvious how to add a mod. There needs to be big fat buttons saying ADD MOD TO PAMM which at the very least take you to the guide.

    I'm hoping to have content uploading directly integrated into PA Hub (even if it's just a wrapper for the current upload site).

    Windows 8.1

    Cannot get this to install / run on any of my computers running 8.1. Either doesn't install with permission issues to appdata folder or installs but will not run. I could give more details but I just want to see if anyone has this working on 8.1?
