AC09 Mod Manager - v0.1 Released

[sachin_rocks]

so basically decompress the amf with 7z and then replace one by one?

Yes

It is even easier than that after you extract the .amf file you will see a configuration file open it in a text editor then for eg it will be

shirt_sleeves_long_d.dds

AC09/characters/kits/india/odi/shirts/generic/longsleeve/

just open big editor then paste the location and then replace with the file
or you can use this tutorial and make an easy installer if it is a long file !

I'm having a funny problem, when I try and install a mod, the manager gets stuck on 'installing your mods', although it's not registered as not responding. CPU usage also gets stuck at 100%

I'm not sure about what you mean. Is it after click the install option? And sachin, Kshitiz has worked hard on this and I doubt he won't respond to the questions. He is maybe just too busy with life. So, please co-operate.

i know he has worked hard on it and am not taking any credit away from him but he has ABANDONED it himself due to time concerns maybe.
And it is not good to use "no longer maintaned" buggy software.

Yeah I guess I've stretched it too far now. Its not like I don't want to maintain the Mod Manager, I really do. I've just been terribly short of time. I can't give any timeframes as of now, but I'm trying my best to work on it. The project has NOT been abandoned. There could be an update tomorrow, or next week, I don't know. As soon as I get time I'll get working on it!

That is a new one. Can you please open the Task Manager at that time and see which process is takign up the CPU - "BIGE.exe" or the Mod Manager exe? And if you can attach the .amf here as well, it'd be great! Thanks!

Good News
Your previous posts sounded like it had been abandoned

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

I was rather frustrated when I made that previous post. Its not like I'm not enjoying my life, I really am() but that also means that I find less and less time for other commitments.

Now as we can open amf files using 7-z, I think it will be convenient to post amf files. So that it will work for everyone.

why don't make a installer that works for all using some free install makers or just cmd ?

AMF files have standard compression. The ability to be opened by third party softwares is the exact reason why I didn't go for any sort of encryption, I wanted to keep this functionality. They're not meant to be installed that way though. It has to be fixed. I'm working on it!

User, it is after clicking 'install', the little 'installing your mods' window comes up too.
CPU usage is pretty much 50-50 between them both, Kshitiz. And I've tried a few files, all from User2010.
Running Win7 Ultimate x86, as admin, got .NET 4.0, and those J runtimes, and the fix...but no joy

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

50-50? Can you get me a screen of the Processes tab?

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

I've finally re-began work on the Mod Manager! I'm implementing the arguments limit fix so that more files can be added in one mod at the moment.

I need one help though. People who are getting the "Object Reference not set to an instance of an object" error, please click on "Details" and give a screenshot ASAP. That will help me narrow down the problem a lot faster!

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

I've successfully implemented a fix for the problem where people couldn't make mods for many files. Its been working for me well, and though I want to release it, I want to put in the Unhandled Exception fix as well, once and for all. So please, help the development, get me the Details of the error!

 

[Gaurav_7]

How do you get that error? For me to provide a screenie.

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

Well it was for those who were getting the error. If no one reports till tomorrow evening, I'll go ahead and release the fixed version with no limit of files to be added in a mod. That should hopefully set the ball rolling for stable release of big mods!
