Changelogs
Version 0.9.0
Fixed legacy fomod installs (scripts and ff12data mods)
Version 0.8.9
Fixed migration process that didn't work properly in 0.8.8
Version 0.8.8
All mods are now a single type with custom installer. This will prevent some conflict detection issues between mod types, especially between non FOMOD and FOMOD mods.
Removed legacy VBF patching.
Note that during migration all mods will be purged and uninstalled, so you'll have to install them again.
Version 0.8.4
Fixed getState errors that some users were experiencing.
Version 0.8.3
Fixed a broken dialog that wouldn't let you trod the old ways (I swear it wasn't intentional, I'm not THAT cruel ^^).
Version 0.8.2
Added x64 directory to ensure writable list (should help, but please note, that installing games that are to be modded into program files usually causes more issues).
Version 0.8.1
Added game version check if the External File Loader is detected (to warn users about issues if they have old game version).
Version 0.8.0
Added support for FF12 External File Loader, which allows to load unpacked files from folders instead of VBF archive. This means no more patching huge 30GB file and filesize tables.
Added support for FF12 LUA Loader.
Added support for new mod types: modules and LUA scripts.
Added support for old, Vortex incompatible mods with multiple choices/versions. This feature is experimental and might fail in some cases, but all old mods tested so far worked just fine.
Disabled VBF tools auto updates (since new, better method is available, I'm not planning any updates to these; support for VBF patching will be removed from the extension in future versions).
Version 0.4.0
Added support for some of the previously incompatible mods without a need for the authors to make them compatible explicitly.
Version 0.3.2
Extension will now detect if DLLs (VCRuntime) are missing and display proper information with download links.
Minor fixes to messages.
Version 0.3.0
if tools are not present in 'bin' directory, extension will ask you for peprmission to automatically download them
if a newer version of any of the tools is available, extension will display changelog/summary and ask for permission to automatically download them
proper unicode support in path names added for patchers
added proper handling of removing enabled mods (without disabling them first)
minor fixes to messages and error handling
Version 0.2.0
extension no longer performs full install/uninstall on adding/removing mods - only files that actually change are restored/patched into VBF archive
non-merged mode completely removed (merged mode is just as fast as non-merged now, while giving a user many benefits)
fixed a bug that could lead to premature backup directory removal
Version 0.1.4
Added check in testSupportedContent to prevent this extension from causing issues for other games handled by Vortex.
