Use the In-Game Community Mods - Cross Platform PA Mod Manager (PAMM) is Obsolete

I have figured out the reason as to why it breaks! It has to do with the enabling of mods.

If I understand this correctly, one should have to log every 24h into PAMM to get it working, right ?
Because I must have logged once on Sunday and I'm still logged on PAMM and PA seems OK.

Not complaining, this is awesome as it is

Would it be possible to have links that redirect to the pamm protocol so that we can have one click download buttons for mods?

Could you be more specific please ? I'm not sure to understand your request.

It's very unclear when Uber revoke a session ticket, but they do. Even using the PALauncher doesn't revoke it right away. The longer, the better

Ran into a login issue, although it's certainly a unique case - feel free to ignore if it's too unique.

I have a secondary account. When I log into the secondary account, it shows the name of my primary account and uses that to run the game.

That's weird, I don't want to ignore it, but I can't find what could cause the issue.

Could you add "devmode" arg to your pamm shortcut ? It will open up the chromium devtools, and you will see the login object in the console, maybe it will light up the problem.
This arg also disable the "download counter", to be used with "caution" ^^

Well that helps a bit - when I login through pamm, it says the DisplayName of the alt account is the same as my main account and that carries over to PA; but if I log in directly, the name is displayed normally. It's not the wrong account, it's just picking up the wrong display name somehow, which is still confusing.

The more confusing is they both provide only the ticket as argument to PA, at least on windows.

I know the display name can be managed in the uber account management, and also that starting PA from Steam change the DisplayName "on the fly". Changing your name ingame (right click in the uberbar) change the TitleDisplayName but it isn't used when you restart PA.

Hi Mereth,

Any news about this ?
People are getting mad here with the argument --nomods

On my side, if anyone is interested in the meantime, I tweaked :

• C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\pamm\resources\app\index.html
  by adding

HTML:

<input id="btnLaunchSM" type="button" value="Safe Mod" class="LOC_Launch_PA_SM" onClick="LaunchPASM()"/>

• C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\pamm\resources\app\assets\js\pamm.js
  by adding

HTML:

function LaunchPASM() {
    if(pamm.getStream() === 'steam') {
        shell.openExternal('steam://rungameid/233250');
    }
    else {
        var child_process = require('child_process');
        var path = require('path');
      
        var binpath = pa.streams[pamm.getStream()].bin;
        var wd = path.dirname(binpath);
      
        var args = [];
        if(uberent.getSessionTicket()) {
            args = ['--ticket', uberent.getSessionTicket(),'--nomods'];
        }
      
        var child = child_process.spawn(binpath, args, { cwd: wd, detached: true });
        child.unref();
    }
    ClosePAMM();
}

And it looks and works fine :

Fun fact, I was just adding it, and I like your "Safe Mod" label idea ! I'm droping the "profile" idea for the time being, I'm not codding that much lately

*Mode

It's "live" !

Well, that was supposed to be the point (double meaning), everyone knows "Safe Mode", but here we're dealing with Mod(s) !
Sad panda now

Joking

I am on a mac and it says that we need to run install.sh but what do I run it with

after the latest PAMM update i cant launch the game with it.
Reason is, i think, the PA install location field is empty, but i cant select something either.

Please remove Process event handler framework from PAMM
This mod inserts a serious game breaking bug that makes the keyboard get stuck on chat and removing your ability of controlling your units, this mod should be removed until fixed.

Is there a reason why I can't make PAMM load a mod from my computer? Are you planning to implement that?

It does work with mods that are not hosted on PAMM. I am guessing your mod isn't in the correct folder and/or it's missing modinfo.json.

That would be cool. Maybe if I have some time I can write that in and submit a pull request.

Initial idea:
Protocol Name: pamm://
Format: pamm:// <action>/<modId>
Example: pamm://instal/inGameBrowser

The tech:
It looks like Atom does support creating custom protocols via

Code:

protocol.registerProtocol(prefix, handler);

after Atom's

Code:

will-finish-launching

event has fired.

So this could all be done by adding:

Code:

app.on('will-finish-launcher', function(){
    var protocol = require('protocol');
    protocol.registerProtocol('pamm', function(req){
        var url = req.url.substring(7);
        var action = url.split('/')[0];
        var target = url.split('/')[1];
        //Do stuff w/ action and target
    });
});

So that is very possible.
