Major Changes All Mod Packs are required to be updated to the new format old formats will no longer work For this Update IF you already have the launcher it will not detect a new update as it was not compatable with the New installer so Please uninstall your current installation and Delete all data before installing v1.5 and adding in your Mod Packs using the new Json system so please make sure any servers you are part of or mod packs you use have been updated first to utilize the new formats for the modpacks 1; ModConfig.zip is no longer needed just put the ModConfig folder directly in your modpack zip
More updates will follow sorry for any issues this update will cause to creators and players alike but sadley there was no other way to make these changes and keep the old way of doing things. | ||||

I will look into both the .net9 issue and will also be making a different way of installing the launcher to make it more portable rather than having an installer that for some reason wont let it be installed somewhere else rather odd
App is CONVINCED i dont have .net 9, I do and have triple checked? at a loss.
I really love this idea, because its exactly what I needed!
However, I have an issue: the launcher doesnt download in any other disk, just C:. Problem is, my VS is installed at E: and I've tried changing the download location without any success.
Can this issue be fixed, please? I want to have everything on disk E:
I have fixed the link to find the download page faster now rather than having to go 7 to 8 pages deep through the website thank you for the feedback
I downloaded the launcher, and there is no create button. Also the discord links don't work :/
I must agree with #Rihlsul I dont know how long it would have taking me to find the download link, without his directions,and how many just gave up in finding it, i would recommend changing the previous link to this on:
https://deltastrium.co.uk/vsmplauncher
-about
Just saying, it took me about 7-8 pages before I could find the download on the official website.
Please don't hide the download button on the About page - should be right between the intro text and the Players/Content Creators on the home page. It's bad enough the "Official Website" link doesn't go straight to the Mod Launcher "home", because the links on the linked "Home", we have to dig into the smol popup menus to find the Launcher, which also hides under 3 popup tiers the download link (pop up menus are a nightmare for accessibility tools, I only found that writing this comment up).
This is a really useful tool, and yes, it should be supported, but please make acquisition easier.
Installer doesn't seem to respect the directory specified during installation—I told the installer to use 'F:\Program Files\' rather than installing to the C: drive, but the program installs to the C: drive regardless. It does create the '\DeltaStrium\Vintage Story Modpack Launcher\' subdirectories at the specified location in F: ... but no files are actually present in the folder.

Fixed the broken link in the description was an oversight sorry about that haha
How come the official website link doesn't work?
OMG BLESS YOU!
Closes right after launching. on latest version...
Edit: Ok works with admin perms
I am doing a full ReWrite of the program so can support linux and make it run alot faster using less resources but it will use .Net 9 and all been well will no longer need admin privalages to install mod packs but will see how that works when i get to that stage with it Mod Packs will have a refactor also and have there own file extensions rather than .zip to make things easier going forward
Will also be updating the Mod Pack Configurator to all been well be able to just scroll through mods and select them from the site to be included in the mod pack but will have to see what is avialble from the sites API to be able to do that while also saying if updates are available making it faster to update mod packs based on what version fo the mods you want to use in the pack
So v2.0.0.0 WIll be the big update im working on
@Magmabot16 AVG is a VERY VERY VEEEEERY bad antivirus, use ESET NOD or just windows defender.
Why does this require admin privlages to run?
Trying to install but AVG is flagging as malware. After adding exception still recieving error stating tha proccess needs elevation.
I installed this, wasnt what i tought and then i couldnt uninstall it and whenever i tried it made my whole pc slow down to crawl, couldnt even unpause the AV. I managed to delete the folder and its registry entry but it still shows up in my installed programs and i cant do anything with it, cant remove it or anything
Had to manually remove everything related to it on files and on the registry. Win 10.
I Coded this software on Windows 11 and have no experienced the issues your having mod packs are stored in zip files and the Mod Pack Configurator will zip them up for you using the name supplied in the VSMPLModpack.json all value editable within the Mod Pack Configurator
if you have any issues sending me the mod pack via discord i can take a look at how you have it setup and go from there ChocolateLovely
Another concern:
When you click Save Mod Pack, it doesn't always update the appropriate json files.
Takeaways from Discord:
Back up your mod pack before clicking "Package Mod." There will not be a confirmation window and if there's an error you'll lose everything.
The 'Open Mod Pack' button is fundamentally broken in at least Windows 11. It requires a zip file, and will spit out an I/O error.
It is suggested that placing your ClientModList.json and VSMPLModpack.json into C:\Program Files\DeltaStrium\Vintage Story Mod Pack Launcher\Creators\Mod Pack\Open will cause the Mod Configurator to load the appropriate files when started. However, it does not. At least not in Windows 11.
I'm at a complete loss over where to go from here; and at this point, I'd suggest waiting a while, for the bugs to get worked out.
I will add more ways to manage mod packs with new versions
will have an option for just having them within the mod pack file itself rather than using links to download mods from the the site i did it that way so mod authors knew how many downloads there mods was getting but i can make it an option at some point
A_British_Lass
A_British_Lass I believe you can host your local mods on Google Drive or Dropbox and generate a URL that way, if you're still looking for a work around :)
Can't say I've tested it myself yet though, I'll get back to you with an update if I find the time.
is there any way for me to just drag and drop the mod files into a pack?
i want to use this tool as a means of managing my own local mods, however the only way i see to add mods is via urls
any response is appreciated, thanks!
Not a problem at all will keep enhancing the launcher with new features too for now working on the Mod Pack Configurator to replace the mod list configurator will make it quicker and easier to create the modpacks thats for sure Aerra
Thank you so much for this, it's a life-saver for server admins.
Have updated the Website now with instructions on how to make the Mod Packs for the launcher while pushing out v1.5.0.1 of the launcher :D
Just an FYI for v1.5.0.0 our website is still showing instructions for the 1.4.3.2 version please follow the template on how to setup a mod pack for now until i get the website update tomorrow with the new way of doing JSON files for the mod packs themselves :D
if needing an example mod pack can be added via our own mod pack for creators looking inside the mod pack zip will help to understand how its setup [LINK REMOVED NOT SUPPORTED IN V2.0.0.0 NEW LINK ON OUR DISCORD IN THE MOD PACKS SECTION] for users if you want to try it can add it direct to the launcher just copy the link and click the add button paste and download that easy
I have one issue with a linux version and thats actually testing it but i am looking into making it linux compatible too Kazii_the_avali
i am curious if there will be a linux version?
surio
Head on over to our discord can help more there we have a dedicated section for the launcher to discuss things what your asking is doable in the launcher though

This launcher happens to be the only maintained pack creator/launcher, so that effectively makes you a monopoly in the market place.
> No This is used for server owners to make modpacks and distribute to players making it easy to install Mod Packs
If I want to use this to create a local modpack for my SP/LAN player world, how would I go about it? I would appreciate if you made a video tutorial on how your application can work as a singleplayer modpack maker/launcher?
I wish to keep my mod packs separate and have a vanilla client handy, should we want to test vanilla gameplay, or when game bugs out (more often than anyone here wants to acknowlege and standard line is "remove the mods and test it").
Perfect
Exactly I was going for

Glad it worked as intended but i would like to let you know the issues with the progress bar should be fixed now but V1.4 will be very different to this and act in a very different way Have implimented most of the changes in the Planned Features section so the UI is Completely different now.
allowing to Add Mod Packs to the launcher and enable them to install being able to update them with ease with a click of a button should make the process easier for players to just grab the Launcher and server owners give the link to there modpack :D
you use this to update installed mods?
I have tried it and it works perfectly, I see a lot of use in this and the fact that you can customize the appearance seems wonderful to me, with this you can create mod packs for less experienced users, but to make a complaint, a folder of mods would be nice lang to translate the output messages.
Oh and I almost forgot, but when the installation is finished, a visual error remains in the loading bar despite having finished the installation correctly.
