HoN Modification Manager 1.3.6

Will it update automatically, after a new patch/version? Is the feature working?

[Notausgang]

Version 1.0.0.5 is up; should fix all your browser problems.

Are you going to release a GNU/Linux version for this epic tool?

I'm currently working with theli to make it fully functional on Mono. If that's not sufficient native clients may be created, but it won't be done by me as I'm not using Linux nor Mac.

Notausgang, where's the 1.0.0.5 version? I just redownloaded from the main link and my "About" is still saying 1.0.0.

EDIT: My bad, it works now I assume you just didn't bother changing the version in the "About" page.

[DualCross1]

Nicely Done.

How do I apply other mods instead of the 3 samples? Like Bard's UI for example.

Other mods need to be converted to the new format first.
I hope most of the mod creators like the concept and convert their mods so they won't have to worry about incompatibilities and patches any more, or at least supply a version in the new format in parallel.

(by the way: mods of the new format can easily be converted back to the old format by having them alone enabled and copying the resources999.s2z)

Notausgang, I'm looking through your mod.xml file for auto level up and I'm wondering why the lines <!-- Notausgang Auto-Ability Begin --> and <!-- Notausgang Auto-Ability End --> aren't used in the replace function? Is it just because they're comments that aren't needed since the program is doing all the work for you?

Yeah, when I converted it I dropped those comment lines since they're not necessary, usually no one will read the output, and it might disturb search terms of other mods.

New version 1.0.0.6 going up that now always detects the text encoding properly, thus obliterating the encoding attribute.

U R GOD :O

Interesting work.

Notausgang, I'm almost to some level of understanding of how to make the mod.xml files for a new honmod file. I thought I was done, but I must be missing some step. I packed up the mod.xml for Picklefish's quick stats mod (015 in the repository). Only needed to pack up his "picklefish_stats.package" file and the xml file. as zip and then renamed it to "picklestats.honmod" and put it in the correct folder.

Then, I open the manager and it sees it fine, but when I hit apply it gives me the following error message:
"Quick Player Stats in Game Lobby" caused a problem:
Could not find string starting with "<panel" as sought by C:\Program Files (x86)\Heroes of Newerth\game\mods\picklestats.honmod/mod.xml".

Any ideas on what I missed? If you want to have a look at the files I'll put them on mediafire. Thanks!

With such questions always post the complete mod.xml file here or on mediafire or on pastebin; really hard to say anything that's not in the error message without

This is really nice, I got a few suggestions for now (more later):
-Drag and drop feature (Drop files into the HoN Mod Manager window and it copies/moves the file into your game\mod folder)
-Add a refresh button

[Avi1231]

Uh oh, I managed to get Picklefish's quickstats in the game lobby to work but it's blacking out the chat pane in the lobby. Gonna have to fix that.
