Changed the default black colour background to a dark gray.
Fixed a bug where the "master mod" would not be the first entry in a sub-menu of a mod and its addons.
Added a category view that's now the default mod list view (for supported games). This can be turned off in Options.
Added automatic category assignment (work-in-progress) for RE2 remake, RE3 remake, RE5, RE6, SF5, SF6, and DMC5.
Added text to mod highlight description with information for what assets the mod replaced (work-in-progress, and only for the above mentioned games).
Highlight currently selected game in "choose game" menu with a white border.
Prepared support for Street Fighter 6 and Resident Evil 4 remake by adding dummy entries for them in the mod manager.
Added basic mod managing support for Uncharted 4.
Updated information for Re:Verse so mod managing works with final release.
Fixed a crash that could happen when a mod had a blank name entry in its modinfo.ini file.
Fixed a bug that made "CheckIfModManagerIsRunning" config var use the same variable as "CheckIfGameIsRunningForModInstalls" in the mod manager code.
Added a toggle to Advanced Options that makes it possible to disable modification of PAK files when installing mods for Monster Hunter: Rise. This is meant to be used alongside FirstNatives. This is stored in config.cfg as the line "SkipPAKModification_MHR".
Added an option to Advanced Options that deletes the mod info cache and re-creates it from scratch.
MHR: Replaced the integrity check after encrypting/decrypting PAKs that didn't work correctly with official patch PAKs.
Fixed an entry that was erroneously added to log.txt that indicated a game's install path was invalid even though it was used just fine.
By adding "CheckIfModManagerIsRunning: 0" to config.cfg it's now possible to make the mod manager skip the check to see if it's already running and auto-quit.
Improved the check if another Fluffy Manager process is running when it's booting up. Now the check compares window title in addition to process executable.
Fixed a bug where the mod manager refused to install a mod because it failed to ignore an empty PAK file contained with the mod.
Fixed a bug where bundles with no installed mods would be listed when using the "installed only" filter.
Added a feature that automatically converts TEX and MSG files to the new formats for old RE2, RE3, and RE7 mods.
Made the mod manager detect game version and mod version, so it can give a warning if user tries to install a mod that's not compatible (this check does not work for RE3 mods that only modify pfb, scn, or pck formats).
Moved the "Show/hide games" option to the top of the "choose game" menu.
Fixed a bug where the prompt for installing/uninstalling mods wouldn't show the mod name correctly if there was a '%' symbol in the name.
MHR: Added support for decrypting PAK files when installing mods (PAK is is re-encrypted when all mods are uninstalled).
Fixed a bug that prevented the mod list from being navigable with keyboard letters after selecting "Refresh mod list."
Added support for installing RE Engine mods packaged as PAK files.
Added support for King of Fighters XV (this is an Unreal Engine 4 game that requires SIG files for mods. This is handled automatically by the mod manager)
Clicking on the text field for a custom search while inputting text will no longer cancel a custom search.
Fixed a bug where a mod could get prompted to be installed/uninstalled if user cancelled a custom menu search by pressing "return" with an empty text field.
Added support for Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered.
Implemented a trainer for NFS: Hot Pursuit Remastered letting the user customize the hood camera position (allows for cockpit view).
If there are multiple modinfo.ini in a RAR, the mod manager will now "lock onto" the one(s) that's closest to the root in the RAR archive.
Fixed a bug that would slow down the install process of mods in RAR archives that had a modinfo.ini in a location that wasn't the root.
RE8: Fixed the "automatically change to first person during cutscenes" toggle for the third person trainer mod.
Added support for full version of Monster Hunter Rise.
Added support for Ghosts'n Goblins Resurrection.
RE8: Updated third person trainer mod to work with the latest RE8 patch.
Added support for the Monster Hunter Rise demo.
Fixed order of games in "Define game info" menu.
Added a toggle in the "advanced options" menu for allowing the installing and uninstalling of mods while the game is running (users shouldn't mess with this unless they know what they're doing as this will result in errors with most games).
Fixed alphabetical sorting for mods which were listed as their "NameAsBundle" name.
Fixed alphabetical sorting in "Downloads" menu.
Added alphabetical sorting to the "choose game" menu.
Fixed the appearance of Fluffy Manager entries showing up in the filter selection for "Downloads" menu.
Fixed a bug where you had to double-click "Filter mods" to get back into the filter selection menu when a filter was already selected.
Fixed a bug that sometimes made Fluffy Manager save the log.txt file in the wrong location.
Made it possible to navigate the mod list by pressing characters on the keyboard to jump to mods starting with that character.
Added a toggle for turning on left-handed mode in "Advanced options" menu that swaps the functionality of the left and right mouse buttons.
Fixed a bug that prevented some values from being saved to the config file.
Made right-click and backspace correctly back out of specific sub-menus.
Fixed a bug that prevented a new version of Fluffy Manager from being downloaded if certain games were selected (ie, SC6 or Bloodstained).
Fixed a bug that showed the wrong menu whenever mod addons or bundled mods were installed or uninstalled.
Fixed a bug that hid the "uninstall all mods" button when in the menu for bundled mods.
Fixed a very rare crash that could occur when clicking into the window while it was out of focus.
Added a feature for doing text search through mod titles (Mod Filter -> Custom Search).
Renamed "Category Filter" option to "Mod Filter".
RE8: Added the option to manually adjust the camera offsets for the third person trainer mod (I suggest holding shift while clicking the menu buttons for the offsets so you can type in a number).
Added an error message that is shown if data\data.pkg fails to load.
Added a warning message if the mod manager is run from WinRAR without being extracted first.
Made it possible for mods to be categorized as addons for mod addons.
Added support for "NameAsBundle" entry in modinfo.ini. If this exists, this will be used as the mod's name in the mod list if addons for it exists.
Fixed a bug that could make Fluffy Manager take a bit more CPU time than it was supposed to.
RE8: Updated the third person mod to work with the latest RE8 patch (2021/08/10).
If you add "DisableBlur: 1" to the config file, then the blur effect won't be used anymore in the mod manager (might be useful for troubleshooting).
Made it possible to uninstall installed mods when path to the game isn't known (this doesn't delete the installed mod files, however).
You can now bundle mods as one button in the mod list if each mod contains the same "NameAsBundle" entry in the modinfo.ini file.
Minor fixes.
RE8: Added third person trainer feature. Requires "Third Person Assets" mod to work properly.
RE8: Added support for "Custom FOV" file mod to work properly.
Fixed height of mod description window when description text has "\n" line breaks in it.
Fixed a bug which made mod manager version check think a WIP version is newer than a non-WIP version.
Fixed a bug which made "Jukebox" button appear for games it doesn't work with.
Added config var for "One-Click Mod Installs" so its setting is saved between sessions.
Fixed a bug which prevented "Force Uninstall" toggle from appearing when a mod uninstall failed.
Added support for Cyberpunk 2077.
Added support for RE8 demo.
Added support for RE8.
Added trainer for RE8: FOV override, vignette toggle, and HUD toggle.
Fixed loading of certain JPG mod preview screenshots in the "Downloads" menu.
Removed the 1gb filesize limit when installing mods.
Added support for Re:Verse open beta.
Version 2.243
Added a message about quantity of files failing to copy if a mod failed to install.
Added a new toggle to "Advanced options" which makes it possible to re-copy the files for an installed mod while the game is running. This is useful for mod development of RE Engine mods where you can copy over updated versions of modded files without having to restart the game.
Added another toggle to "Advanced options" which lets you do a "reverse install" of an installed mod. This copies the files for the mod from the game directory to the mod directory. This is for mod development. This toggle can't be on at the same time as the above toggle.
Added more detailed entries to Data\log.txt related for mod installs and uninstalls.
Rewrote some code related to the creation of the "Downloads" menu which makes it much faster to load if you have many downloaded mods.
Made the ETA and download speed numbers update at intervals so they jump around less.
Re-organized the options menu by adding an "advanced options" menu which includes the more technical or unusual settings.
Added toggles to the advanced options menu which adds prompts for mod installs and uninstalls.
Added code for outputting error messages for when Curl (library used for version checking and downloads) fails. These error messages are logged to Data\Log.txt
Re-compiled Curl to allow for downloading from secure websites. Since that's supported now I've changed all addresses to my website to use HTTPS. It's possible only this and newer versions of the Mod Manager will be able to use download functionality, so it's highly recommended all users upgrade to this.
Added basic functionality for verifying file integrity of downloaded files.
Improved behaviour when Fluffy Manager window is resized while the mod list is open. However, this is very much a work-in-progress and I'll continue to improve this behaviour so every part of the UI resizes appropriately as you resize the window.
Optimized GPU usage. If nothing is being animated (or if the program is out of focus) then GPU usage becomes 0%.
Added support for Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2.
SC6: Updated trainer to work with latest version (works as of 2020-10-17).
SC6: Updated trainer to show more music track options.
SC6: Trainer will disable controller ID menu options if address for it doesn't work (ie, for when a new SC6 version is released).
Save manager: Added support for more games. RE1 HD, RE0, RE4, RE5, RE6, Revelations 1, and Revelations 2.
Save manager: Did a lot of miscellaneous changes. Added toggle for displaying date of save files, added buttons for opening save locations in Windows File Explorer, added prompts when performing any action resulting in overwriting a save file, and change the menu layout for the save manager.
The "Define game path" button now only appears if the mod manager lacks the install path for the currently selected game.
The mod manager now allows replacement of the game executable. Note that the mod manager can't check if a game is patched while the game executable is replaced, so keep this in mind (you might need to reinstall the game if the game gets patched while you have it modded like this).
Fixed a rare bug which could lead to the mod manager failing to copy over a file from a second mod when uninstalling a mod which modded the same files as another installed mod.
Fixed a bug which prevented the "Uninstall all mods" button from updating its state when browsing the addon menu for a mod.
When clicking on "Uninstall all mods" while browsing the addon menu for a mod you will no longer get reset to the full mod list.
Improved handling of starting Fluffy Manager 5000 when an instance of it is already running.
Added a better notification for when mod downloads finish.
Improved error handling for failed loading of PKG archives.
Fixed a bug with Windows 10 version 2004 where quitting the mod manager while it's on a second monitor will make it freeze when restarting the mod manager.
Added support for the game Ghostrunner.
Fixed drag'n'drop feature which broke when fixing a bug related to Windows 10 v2004.
Fixed a bug which could potentially show info about a downloadable mod while in a puzzle minigame.
Releases of Fluffy Manager no longer includes assets for wallpapers and minigames, and these are now optional downloads via the Fluffy Manager. This makes the initial download much smaller.
There's now a system in place for automating the downloading and updating of new versions of Fluffy Manager.
Log.txt will now be created in "Data" directory in order to make the root directory for Fluffy Manager less messy. Feel free to delete log.txt if it already exists.
Added a new entry to the help prompt for the save manager when Dragon's Dogma is selecting warning about how pawn hires will get rewards reset to 0 for a set amount of time after swapping savegame.
Fixed an issue where Fluffy Manager would get confused by its focus status if the user changed to another program while Fluffy Manager was initializing (this meant it could be receiving input when it shouldn't).
Fixed a bug which could make Fluffy Manager think an old version was up-to-date when doing online version checking.
Clicking on "Refresh mod list" will no longer reset the currently selected category filter.
Rewrote the framerate limiter as it didn't work very well on newer versions of Windows (this should result in the mod manager feeling a bit more responsive).
Version 2.220
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.
Version 2.211
RE Resistance: Launch game button now tries to launch the full game, rather than the open beta.
When certain features are unavailable for the selected game (jukebox, trainer, puzzle, or save manager) the button for it will disappear rather than appear grayed out.
When installing mods, the "invalidated paths" text now says "modified paths."
Fixed a bug which could result in a mod download failing (happened if a mod with same filename exists and its screenshot was recently loaded).
The mod manager now refuses to install/uninstall mods for any game if the game is currently running. Add "CheckIfGameIsRunningForModInstalls: 0" to config.ini to override this behaviour.
SC6: Updated trainer to work with latest patch (works as of 2020/04/16).
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The following link is the main entry for the mod manager on NexusMods. Go here for the latest version download, up-to-date usage information, and active post section: https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/818
Optionally, you can include a modinfo.ini and a screenshot to the PAK file so that info is displayed inside the mod manager. Here is an example of how the files should look like: http://www.fluffyquack.com/mods/SC6/Raph...-files.rar
