Use the In-Game Community Mods - Cross Platform PA Mod Manager (PAMM) is Obsolete

Now I feel like I have wasted your time....it has somehow fixed it's self.

Sorry....

No problem Maybe the following will help you to understand what could happened. PAMM find the PA installation folders by analyzing the log files found in "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\log". Which mean you have to run a fully updated PA (not just the Launcher) at least once before running PAMM for this feature to work properly. Or there is some bug hanging around.

I actually have the same issue where it doesn't detect I have the proper update installed if I run through PAMM. I've tried a variety of different orders of running things, disabling mods, etc., but it just says something like "a new version is available, please download" and the servers list is empty. I could post some screenshots later if you need it.

As the previous comments, it works just fine if I make changes in PAMM then run PA as normal.

Could you please copy paste your LOG tab content ? I presume you are on Windows 7 or 8 ?

I just updated Instant Sandbox, switching from user_mods to a github archive. I moved my local folder to the desktop, and checked not-installed mods. The old version is listed, and it gets installed. I've refreshed multiple times.

Do you mean you still see Instant Sandbox v1.3.0 in the available mods list (I see v2.0.0 now) ? Could be our first http caching issue ~~

Something like that. I'm getting the correct one now, so maybe something has a cache of a few minutes. I did check the url reported in the log in a browser, and it was showing the new version, so it wasn't hidden from my computer as a whole.

Yes, it was probably the chromium cache. If it becomes a recurrent issue I will set the global property "cache" to false in jquery.

Should be fine as long as it's a known quantity.... I was just a bit impatient because I wanted to check the new format download before announcing it.

I haven't read the whole thread so maybe it has been asked already. Would it be hard to add a check box to set the --nomods flag on PA.exe? We have a way to disable all mods but to turn on just the ones we had before we need to go through and select them again one by one.

I think Mereth initiated something, as per his message here

Something similar is in the features list : https://github.com/pamods/pamm-atom/issues/3
Relying on the nomods arg would be easier to implement, but I think many people don't use PAMM to launch PA and prefer the PALauncher or Steam, which is understandable

I mostly use PAMM to launch PA, now that it has the branch option.
Because PA Launcher is slow due to (unnecessary) version check and raise CPU usage (fan going in turbine mode ...)

It's more likely your GPU, I have the same issue, which is a pain when an update is needed : http://pa.lennardf1989.com/Tracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=3574
It's 50% Gpu usage now on win8.1 fresh install.

New version available, what's new :

• search filters don't "scroll" anymore with the mods list, and the vertical scrollbar take the full screen size !
• added a progress bar during mods downloads
  
• authors are now link to the forum (doesn't work for everyone, but that's a start!)
• fixed a chromium cache issue

Yep, you should like this release

As a heads up I won't have much coding time until the 20th so I won't be updating my mods for the new version of PA or this PAMM until after then. Though, feel free to update them for me before then if people start asking and you have time. Thanks!

There's a typo in this dialog:

The second line should say something like: "Click ok to uninstall it." Also, the uninstallation always fails for me, it just does nothing and proceeds to load the new PAMM.

Could you have a look at the LOG tab ? It should at least give you the full path to the old uninstaller, and maybe an error message.

PAMM always warns me a mod dependency needs to be installed, even if the dependency is installed and up-to-date.

Loving the new version though.

Sure, here's the relevant chunk of the log and a little bit before and after it:

As a heads up the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Planetary Annihilation doesn't exist on my machine. PAMM's installer is actually in C:\Games\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation Launcher.

Also, I have to say that you're EULA is awesome.
