QKI is an autonomous library and RIP registers it as a dependency, both mods having automatic updates. Let's take a look at mods Rename Inventory Pages and QuickKeyboardInput. On my server, it matches with the default download URL, which does a HTTP/302 to the actual file. It just makes the URL to potentially point to a valid file, if for some reason the end user were to use it manually. SMU removes it automatically to get the part acting as an identifier. Since r15, a simple_update_url field can have a. simple_dependencies (optional): contains a list of URLs, like those found in simple_update_url.simple_changelog_url (optional): points to a page displaying news about your updates, it is opened when mod user clicks on the View patch notes button of BLT's Download Manager.simple_update_url: it serves as an identifier and may not point to a real file.So, 3 new parameters are introduced in mod.txt: It just aims to be VERY simple to manage from a server point of view. It doesn't bother with fancy hash validation. In case you're not satisfied with existing solutions, you can use this library with your own mods (and your own server). If the View patch notes button is greyed, clicking on it won't have any effect.

When automatic installation is disabled, they may be available if mod author has registered a changelog URL or after installation has completed if there is a changelog.txt file. In the Download Manager, patch notes are never available for dependencies. If a mod provides a changelog.txt file, it will be displayed in its information screen: Knowing current version, you'll easily find out what's new for you. When automatic installation is enabled, BLT displays a notification for each updated mod: A click on this notification directly opens the related view mod GUI. This way you know why a new mod appears in your game.įor mods already installed, updates are always downloaded automatically but installation may be done manually if you set it up in the options menu: Notifications Optionsīy design, missing dependencies always require from you to start the download and installation process manually. The availability of new updates is only checked once per game session, right after title screen. It should work regardless you use BLT or SuperBLT. It supports mod dependencies too.Īll mods distributed here are updated only through this system. This mod downloads and installs mod updates automatically.
