me3tweaks / alotinstaller Goto Github PK

I downloaded ALOT v11 for ME1 (ALOT for ME1 11.0-83-2020-11-1591229529.zip). When I open it, it only lists and recognizes v10 files, not v11. Same for ALOV, it only recognizes 1.1, not 2.1.

Diagnostics don't check if the game is running or not, and as such can fail because game files are open and locked for use. We should check to make sure there is no instance of the game running before running diagnostics.

Show red X and failure if failure occurs ([ERROR] IPC)

The "Ashley Complexion Tweak " entry in the Ellise Section of the installer looks for a filename of "el_Ashley Complexion Tweak.7z-569-1-0.7z" while the download section of Ellise's mod page shows a filename of "el_AshComplexionTweak.7z-569-1-0.7z". Renaming does not rectify the issue.

The Download Assistant then refuses to import it and as far as the user can tell it isn't there.
This isn't game breaking, and this can be bypassed by the "User Addon" portion of the installer but this is an issue with the manifest for sure.

EDIT: see other post

Should add..
I am running the latest release version and the manifest is up to date as far as I can tell.

Program should block building/installing if ALOT is not present/ready, and it is not currently installed for the game user is attmempting to build for.

This would be useful to downscale 4K norms in addons to 2K.

ME2/3 is not installed but is forced to always show when it shouldn't be shown at all

I'm not sure what you are doing with the AGEIA registry keys, but the actually proper fix is to install legacy physx, and remove the dreaded enableLocalPhysXCore key (or well, at least I know no reason to use the old libs)
Similarly, you aren't going much further with just removing XP compatibility. Since W8.1 you also need to add the RUNASINVOKER flag to finally eradicate the administrator request curse.

Also, I never had sound problems to be fair.. But if that is your concern at least the first basic step should be to have people use updated OpenAL.

Things that need to be done for V4

• Legacy PhyX installer (needs checked @mirh)
• Prevent adding files from temp directory
• Prevent adding files from Texture library
• Prevent adding files from Staging directory
• Prevent adding files from Game directory
• Support target passthrough from M3

User should be warned of repercussions of closing during install mode

There seems to be a problem with ALOT installer. After updating the program, an info pops up, there is an 'error reading file manifest'
alotinstaller-20180508.txt

At bare minimum, imports should be size checked to prevent users from renaming files. For a diagnostic or error hash checks might be considered.

Importing files should be done on a background thread so the main interface does not lock up.

Documentation is going to need a huge overhaul for how to use this as installer

In the bizarre case that some files are not owned by the current user (for example, a mod install with admin rights which didn't set permissions properly), the game crashes. Hopefully, a useful debug message was in the debug log. But it took me time to remark there was such an option... perhaps turning debug mode by default after a crash would be a good idea ?
Thanks for this incredibly neat tool by the way !
