Use the In-Game Community Mods - Original PA Mod Manager (PAMM) is Obsolete

Just tried to get the new version of pastats working using this mod manager; failed! Let me know if you need help testing it raevyn. Guess I'll try and create the ui_mod_list.js myself!

Please see https://forums.uberent.com/threads/help-steam-folder-structure.50828/, if you can provide any information about this it will let me work out how to get the manager working in the Steam version.

Done

Wish this was invented before I had to beg cola_colin to teach me how to install mods. Great work.

Alrighty, give the new version a whirl and let me know if it works on Steam. It works for me when I installed it into the PA directory of the non-steam version, so in theory it should work. No other feature additions yet as I wanted to get steam support out of the way before trying anything more complex.

love new ver.!

PA will tell you if you're version's outdated anyways. Plus it's one less "play" button to press

This is now available (version 1.4), using the "Priority" and "Requires" properties.

Script Error:

Line 18, char 4: object doesn't support this property or method 'document.getElementById(...).checked'
Code 0, PAMM.hta, blah blah blah

I have bigger stat fonts, pa stats, commander hp and play/pause in the mods folder, but it only shows fonts and pa stats. Also, the error reappears if (un)checking pa stats.

EDIT: also, I have the uber version of PA, not steam

I found a bug, I think it's what's causing this. Uploaded a new version, let me know if that fixes it.

no dice. still same error. 1.3 works, so it's not a problem with pa stats ini or anything

EDIT: screenshot!

Hmm. Can you zip & upload the contents of your mods folder?

Jesus. Make me work whydontcha

here it is:

Thanks

Found the issue - The mod manager uses the name of the ini file as an ID for each mod (because the mod names have spaces), and PAMM is already used within the application, so when it goes to enable to mod, it's finding the application instead of the checkbox and trying to select it.

Uploading fixed version in a sec. This version works with pa_stats as it is, however I suggest re-naming pamm.ini to something more unique

Edit: version 1.4c uploaded.

pamm.ini is within pa_stats, so my thinking was that the pamm.ini within pa_stats should kinda say it all: This is the ini for pamm of pa_stats.
Well I can rename it to pamm_pastats.ini I guess. xD

I can add an ID property which will be used instead of the ini file name. I just need something unique and without spaces, and the filename was the easiest at the time

filenames can contain spaces
I think using something like pa_stats/pamm.ini stripped of potential spaces might work?

Not if the instructions on making an ini are followed . But with an ID field, you'll be able to have non-unique ini names, as long as the specified ID is unique.

looking at the code that loads mod js and css I just realized it is possible to do something like this:

Code:

[PAMM]
Name=Commander Health Display from a remote server
Folder=PA\media\ui\mods\rCommanderHP
live_game='http://www.nanodesu.info/stuff/pa/test/rCommanderHP.css','http://nanodesu.info/stuff/pa/test/rCommanderHP.js'

the folder only contains the ini for the manager, css and js are loaded from the remote server.
Dunno if this can be useful or not. An online version that automatically updates might be nice, but it could not update what files are modded.

Small update released; fixes a bug with mods that attempt to add to the "settings" section of ui_mod_list.js not being enabled.
