ModVersionChecker

Forgot the version of installed mod?

Not knowing mod got updated?

An in-game mod version checker might just right for you.

The mod display all installed BepInEx plugins' version and tries to fetch newer version from ThunderStore.

Default hotkey for toggling mod's window is LeftCtrl + F5

Installation

• Put ModVersionChecker.dll into the BepInEx plugins folder, e.g. C:\Program Files x86 \Steam\steamapps\common\Dyson Sphere Program\BepInEx\plugins\ModVersionChecker.dll

ModDataList

ModDataList holds references mapping from mods' full name on ThunderStore to actual GUID in BepInEx. Checker would not understand which package on ThunderStore is related to installed plugin if it's not listed thus not able to check newer version for it.

ModDataList used in checker can be found here: Github/.../ModDataList.xml Checker will try to fetch this list at game launch

Add mod info to ModDataList

Recommended:

• Create Pull Request on file ModDataList.xml to repository https://github.com/yyuueexxiinngg/BepInEx-Plugins
• Or file an issue request for adding new mod info
• Once merged, checker will fetch it on the next launch

Locally:

• Add mod info into local XML file located at DSPGameRoot\BepInEx\data\ModVersionChecker\PreservedModData.xml
• Entries in this file will overwrite entries fetched online

FAQ

• Latest version showing Unsupported
  • Checker is fetching mod data list, or the mod is not found in mod data list, all mods listed in here are supported: Github/.../ModDataList.xml
• The current version is not correct, I've made sure the installed mod is the latest
  • Mod developer did not change the version fed into BepInEx in code upon releasing
  • Temporarily solution is to click the Set As Lastest button to set a custom version for that mod same as the latest version. Checker will assume custom version as installed version later on. Custom versions are saved at DSPGameRoot\BepInEx\data\ModVersionChecker\CustomModCurrentVersionList.xml
• Mods like QTool_Model_plus showing wrong latest version
  • Mod developer did not change the GUID of his modified mod, checker use GUID to identify mods. In this case, it points to the original mod
• Once Set As Latest was used, updated plugin not getting correct current version
  • Resolved in v1.2
• Mod was supported, but now showing Unsupported after update
  • Mod developer changed mod's GUID, please file an issue

Configuration

Method A

• Download and install BepInEx.ConfigurationManager
• Hit Configuration Manager's default hotkey F1 to open management window

Change log

V1.2

• Fix once Set As Latest was used, checker will always use that version as current version even if the plugin actually got updated and developer set the correct version.
• Now checker window will be closed automatically when game play starts

V1.1

• Add support for setting mod current version as latest in case mod developer forgot to change the version fed into BepInEx in code upon releasing a new version

Mod版本检测器

忘记安装的Mod是什么版本的?

不知道Mod有更新了?

本Mod会显示所有安装的插件Mod版本并尝试在ThunderStore上获取新版本号

默认左 Ctrl + F5开关Mod窗口

安装方法

• 将 ModVersionChecker.dll 放入BepInEx的 plugins文件夹, 如: C:\Program Files x86 \Steam\steamapps\common\Dyson Sphere Program\BepInEx\plugins\ModVersionChecker.dll

ModDataList

Mod列表保存BepInEx中插件的GUID与其在ThunderStore上Full name的映射关系, 如果Mod不在列表中检测器就不知道哪个版本号与安装的插件对应导致无法检测其版本更新

检测器用到的ModDataList在: Github/.../ModDataList.xml 每次启动游戏时检测器时都会尝试从这里获取最新的列表

如何向列表中添加Mod项目

推荐做法:

• 在本插件的GitHub项目 中对ModDataList.xml 新建PR
• 或者在GitHub中新建Issue请求添加
• 如果PR被合并, 将会在检测器下一次启动获取新列表时生效

本地添加:

• 将Mod信息添加至本地存储的XML文件, 路径为游戏根目录\BepInEx\data\ModVersionChecker\PreservedModData.xml
• 这里保存的列表项目会覆盖从网上获取的项目

常见问题

• 最新版本中显示 未支持
  • 检测器正在获取Mod列表中, 或此Mod并未在列表中列出, 所有支持检测更新的Mod在这里列出: Github/.../ModDataList.xml
• 目前版本不正确, 已经确保安装的Mod为最新版本
  • Mod开发者发布时没有修改代码中传递给BepInEx的版本号
  • 临时解决方法为点击设置为最新版本按钮对Mod将最新版本设置为自定义版本, 之后检测器会将自定义版本视为已安装的版本, 自定义版本保存在: 游戏根目录\BepInEx\data\ModVersionChecker\CustomModCurrentVersionList.xml
• 如QTool_Model_plus 这样的Mod最新版本不正确
  • Mod开发者修改Mod时没有修改其GUID, 检测器依赖GUID来区分Mod, 在这个例子中, 他指向了原Mod
• 一旦使用过 设置为最新版本, 更新后的插件获取的目前版本不正确
  • v1.2 中已修复
• Mod本来支持检测版本, 更新后变成未支持
  • Mod开发者更改了插件的GUID, 请在GitHub中新建Issue

配置方法

方法A

• 下载安装BepInEx.ConfigurationManager
• 游戏中按ConfigurationManager默认键F1开启MOD配置管理窗口进行配置

方法B:

• 用文本编辑器打开 游戏目录/BepInEx/config/com.github.yyuueexxiinngg.plugin.modversionchecker.cfg
• 修改想要的设置, 将在下一次启动时生效

更新日志

V1.2

• 修复一旦使用过 设置为最新版本, 检测器会一直把此版本号当做目前版本, 就算插件更新过且开发者已经把版本设置正确
• 现在检测器窗口会在开始游玩时自动关闭

V1.1

• 添加支持将Mod最新版本设置为已安装的版本, 避免当Mod开发者发布新版本后忘记修改代码中的版本时总是提示此Mod有更新
