[REL] [WIP] Easy SCSModManager (ESCSMM)

[16tonn]

The latest version takes mods from the Workshop; you need to specify the destination folder there. The rest will come later, family matters.

Glad to hear the Workshop works now! And no rush at all with the translation - family always comes first. It will be very welcome whenever you find the time.

Nothing works... the program freezes immediately and crashes after half an hour. How many mods are possible to handle, 10?

Honest answer: the app is developed and tested with mod libraries in the hundreds - your ~7000 mods are the biggest collection we have heard of so far, and they are clearly hitting limits we have not optimized for yet. That is a real issue on our side, not a "you have too many mods" situation. But I need your help to fix it.

Since v1.1.2 the app writes a log file - even when the window freezes, the file is being written. Paste this into the Explorer address bar:

Code: Select all

%LOCALAPPDATA%\easy-scsmodmanager\logs

Open the newest log and post the last ~30 lines here. That tells me whether it dies during scanning or afterwards while building the interface - two different fixes.

Also helpful: which version you are on (1.1.2 or 1.1.3) and roughly how much RAM the machine has.

One thing to set expectations: the very first scan has to open all 7000 mod containers once to build the cache - that legitimately takes a long while, and the UI currently does not show progress well at that scale. That part will get better too.

New 1.2.0 is out now!

Please re-download the new one.

[BeckysFootSlave]

@16tonn v1.2.0 is out with much smarter Windows path detection (it now asks the registry instead of guessing). If you have a minute: clear your manual Workshop path in Settings and restart - I would love to know if auto-detect finds your library now. And the Russian translation stays welcome whenever life allows, zero rush.

I'm asking for a friend: for how many people does it actually work?

I'm already on the 1.3.0 with own theme!
I think later tonight or tomorrow that problem is solved!

I'm asking for a friend: for how many people does it actually work?

Fair question, so here is a straight answer: for the people who have reported back so far, it works - Workshop detection, load order, profile saving. One theme issue on Windows light mode was reported today and is already fixed for the next release. What makes your setup behave differently is exactly what I am trying to find out - and that part is in your hands, not mine.

I can fix what I can see. Two minutes of your time:

Code: Select all

%LOCALAPPDATA%\easy-scsmodmanager\logs

Paste that into the Explorer address bar, open the newest file and post the last 30 lines here. Plus two answers: which version you are on, and how much RAM the machine has.

With that, I will treat your 7000 mods as the stress test this app needs, and you will most likely be the reason the next version handles huge libraries. Without it, there is honestly nothing I can do for you - I can only help someone who gives me something to work with.
