##BESIEGE MOD MANAGER v0.3 (Besiege v0.20)

Still in development - use for testing only!

###INSTALLATION:

• Uninstall Spaar's mod loader (you can leave it installed, but then do not install through the manager)
• Make a backup of your mods directory and delete the original (the loader can't figure out what is pre-installed there yet)
• Download bmm0.3.exe into your Besiege dir (where Besiege.exe is)

###USAGE:

Run bmm0.3.exe and have fun.

###CHANGELOG (v0.3):

• introduced GUI

• made the Parser class more consistent

• updated database for Besiege v0.20 mods

• now there is an offline and an online mode of the manager (automatic)

###TO DO LIST:

• repair the backing up of the unity-script dll

• clean up the BMMgui class

  • do et man

• optimize database comparison algorithm

• fill in database

• ultimately, migrate database to a dedicated server (co-op with other modders)

• inclide versioning of mods

• include custom .lvl management

• work closely with the modLoader.json file to allow enabling/disabling a mod instead of installing/uninstalling

• clear out spaar's Mod Loader installer integration

###TECHNICAL INFO:

• BMMgui():
  • asks the user for operations on downloading/removing and installing/uninstalling mods
  • calls the Database() class to show a list of mods
  • calls the Installer(), Downloader() if the user wishes to
  • does not remove downloaded .zip files so that they are available for installation in offline mode
• Database():
  • scans the downloads dir and creates a local database
    • this contains info about which mods are downloaded, their version and if they are installed or not
  • connects to the online database to get a list of all the availabe mods for download
    • also checks the newest version and where it should be downloaded locally
  • compares the local and online databases to see what's up
  • calls the Parser() and the Const() classes to get the local paths
  • calls DirCreator() if the downloads dir doesn't exist
• Downloader():
  • downloads or removes a downloaded .zip of a mod
  • calls the Parser() class to get the necessary paths and urls
  • calls DirCreator() if a particular subdir of the downloads dir doesn't exist
• Installer():
  • installs or deinstalls a given mod
  • has a special case for Spaar's Mod Loader
  • calls the Parser() and the Const() classes to get the required paths and urls
• Parser():
  • does the heavy lifting of parsing paths and urls
• DirCreator():
  • creates a dir if it doesn't exist
• Const():
  • contains some constants and variables
