Grognak's Mod Manager v1.7 (Updated March 6, 2013!)

[Icehawk78]

Would you care to tell me why my virus checker is telling me that their are two trojans in this download?

Because it's overzealous and reporting false positives. As mentioned numerous times in this thread, including two posts immediately before yours.

Well, this whole thing is ticking me off.

In other news, the github version is more up-to-date at this point, so if you are going to run GMM off of scripts I'd recommend that version. If you're still using the EXE, don't worry about it. The changes aren't that huge.

I want to make 1.4 non-dependent on EasyGUI. That'll involve a total rework of the whole GUI system though... and I will admit, GUI building is not my strong suite. So we will see how that goes. And maybe there's a chance that not including EasyGUI will stop the false positives.

Know what this means??

Check data.dat and resource.dat. Make sure they aren't read-only.

Deleted the Thumbs.db file and its working again.

Given the problems with the Mac version, I'll TRY to make a Mac executable. If I don't make it, I will make it easier to use at least.

Yeah... The problem with your Grognak's version is that it is looking for ftl.exe, which is stored in the application itself, making it almost impossible for unexperienced netizens to find! Maybe you could try adding a "open file" window where mac users just need to drag in their application to install the mods? If you need any help, feel free to contact me!

I'm working on that precisely. Also, I will make it autodetect Steam(I mean, it asks wether you use steam or not and if you use it finds it itself), because otherwise you would still have to dig in the library a lot. I will send it to Grognak when I'm done.

I'm hoping someone could help me with a problem I'm getting when trying to run the mod manager.

When I execute modman I get an error message that says:

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have appropriate permission to acces the item.

I'm not sure what this means. I have tried running as an admin, but still get the same result.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

OK, I got it to work on any location on Mac. I'll try to make the standalone executable now.

Edit: Grognak, if you stopped using EasyGUI, what would you use instead? Tkinter?

Edit2: I ALMOST did it: it actually works fine, but the mods folder is inside the Grognak's Manager executable. I'll fix it soon(I have to do homework first, I already lost too much time with this).

[Grognak]

Indeed, Tkinter is the plan.

And great work on your patch. Feel free to send in a pull request when you're ready.

@Light n Fast: Does that happen as soon as you open the file? Did you make sure to extract the archive that modman.exe is in first?
