The biggest change with this release is that it's now possible to bundle multiple mods in one RAR file. This means you'll need this new version to be able to install mods that are structured like that (otherwise the mod manager will only detect one of the mods in a RAR file).
This is very nice for distribution and organization (if you have a mod with multiple small variants you can release it as one RAR file, rather than many RAR files). As an example of how to structure a mod like this then download the Jill Bikini mod by alphaZomega via the mod manager. The same mod is also a good example of how to tag mods as addons, which is a nice way to organize mods. (You'll see a bundleinfo.ini file in the Jill Bikini RAR file. You can ignore this file as it's used only by the mod downloader feature in the mod manager.)
In addition to that, this version also updates the UI for mod downloads in progress so that looks a bit spiffier. There is now support for Code Vein and Trials of Mana (click on "Show/Hide Games" in the "Choose Game" list if you want these to be hidden). I've added a lot of help information for various features (press F1 or click the help icon to the topright). And it includes a whole bunch of minor bug fixes.
Full change log for v2.220:
- Fixed a bug which sometimes prevented the mod author categories from working when browsing downloadable mods.
- Made more games hidden by default (only applies to new users of the mod manager). You can always click "Show / hide games" to customize which games are shown and hidden.
- Fixed a bug which prevented the help icon from appearing.
- Added a lot more help information which can be accessed via pressing the help icon or pressing F1.
- Fixed a bug which could prevent mods in RAR files without a modinfo.ini from appearing in the mod list.
- Added support for multiple mods to be contained in one RAR file (for this to work, you'll need to add multiple subfolders and make sure each one has a modinfo.ini).
- The above feature required a rewrite of a lot of code handling mods in RAR archives. One side effect is that the mod manager will have to re-create the cache for many RAR archives, which could result in a brief delay. If you have mods installed, a few of them might end up getting shown twice in the list (that's fixed by uninstalling and reinstaling the mods).
- The mod manager will now automatically re-read game archives if a game patch is detected while no mods are installed.
- Fixed a bug where if you only had mods with addons in the mod list the mod manager would display the message "no mods found."
- Fixed a bug where the wrong menu button would be pressed after showing a list of mod addons and clicking left mouse button without moving the mouse.
- Added a button to the mod downloader to a site where you can post feedback on the mods downloadable via the mod manager.
- Redid the interface for showing mod downloads in progress.
- Added support for Code Vein.
- Added support for Trials of Mana.
