Use the In-Game Community Mods - Cross Platform PA Mod Manager (PAMM) is Obsolete

Worked fine for one runtime of the game, afterwards it glitched and anytime I open PAMM it flashes its normal content then the whole window just turns white and never fixes. Tried uninstalling/installing, PAMM does not wanna work.

You probably have an overzealous antivirus/antimalware.

This appears whenever I go to server mods or ui mods, was working before, nothing changed and now it wont work.
"Failed to load installed mods: SyntaxError: Unexpected token ..."

edit: nevermind, it fixed itself when I installed a new mod

@Mereth : While setting PA.exe to run as admin (reason here), I noticed that clicking on Launch PA doesn't do anything (not launching PA, not closing PAMM).
Technical limitation ?
Works through Uber Launcher without going through UAC (launching exe directly does)

Works on Windows 8.1 for me. Tried with AtomShell 0.13.2 and 0.17.1.
Maybe you could see an error with pamm in devmode (add 'devmode' arg to your shortcut).

Upon clicking on Launch PA, I got :

Code:

Uncaught Error: spawn UNKNOWN util.js:682
exports._errnoException util.js:682
ChildProcess.spawn child_process.js:1017
exports.spawn child_process.js:801
LaunchPA pamm.js:1297
(anonymous function) pamm.js:1566
n.event.dispatch C:\Users\Fr33\AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\pamm\resources\app_pamm\asset…:3
r.handle C:\Users\Fr33\AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\pamm\resources\app_pamm\asset…:3

No idea Even nodejs seems to have given up with this "UNKNOWN" error.

But, I can run a local game without administrative rights, probably because I have full rights on my PA installation folder. I'll make some more test with PA in a folder with restricted rights.

Even with readonly rights, I can play with an offline server. And I can launch PA from a PAMM started as Admin. Weeeird feeling.

Hum, weird, I removed the "Run as admin" in Compatibility Tab, and it now works locally also on latest PTE.
But with previous one, it didn't ("Failed to Start Game", as per @cptconundrum ).
Good news, sorry to had you look at it

Edit : More complicated than I thought ...
Doesn't stand after a reboot.
Will have to switch to steam for the moment

Can't you grant full rights on the PA folder to fix the issue ?

How do I do that on a folder ? Not sure to understand (using an admin session if it matters).

Also, some other reports in build release thread about having local game issues when launched through PAMM :

Right click on the Planetary Annihilation folder.
Property => Security Tab

Add yourself with "Full Control"

I have no issue playing with local game after launching PA with PAMM. Currently stressing my computer with LOTS of firefly :> Are you using Windows 7 ?

Yes, using Win 7 here.
Do you mean to Edit "Authenticated Users" ?
Why would I need that, having an admin account which should have Full Control ?

EDIT : Just did, doesn't help with AI skirmish, launched through PAMM

If "Authenticated Users" already have "Modify" checked, nothing more needed, it's what I have. And I don't understand why you need Administrative Rights to play local game even more ...

Maybe it's a weird Windows7 related bug, I'll give it a try on my laptop.

Ok, on a Windows7 computer, starting PA from PAMM prevent server.exe from starting. Starting PA from the Launcher or from the PA.exe works, no need for Administrative Rights. Maybe I will be able to figure out what's going on.

Would it be possible to add a new "incompatible" field to the modinfo.json? It'd be an array of mod ids that are disabled when you enable the mod and that disable the mod when you enable them.

Would be most useful for server mods in case people forget to disable Statera before using ModX or whatever

In the current PAMM ? Nop. Have to see with @raevn for PAHub. I think to remember it was a "work in progress" for Legacy PAMM.

https://github.com/pamods/pamm-atom/issues/8 would have been a better approach for most of the unfixable incompatibility issues between mods.

Good lord, I dunno if its me or not, but theres hardly any available mods for download :O Was hoping to find the unit database and some mods for GW >-< Guess they havent been added in yet.

Eh? There are more than a hundred there. Are you perhaps filtering them? ("Show additional options").

Or viewing server mods. It defaults to that which has caught me a few times.
