ModSync RW
Find out when there are newer versions of a non-steam game available.
Consider this a spiritual successor of ModSync.ninja (which should be disabled before use). The main difference being that this is not centralized; thus no cost to run. This leverages hosting sites like Github, from which versioning information can be pulled.
Requires the mod’s author to create a ModSync file and update the version number as new versions are released.
Initially there will be few to no mods listed in the ModSync window. Over time as developers adopt this more will show up. Also, only non-steam mods will ever be shown since steam mods will automatically stay up-to-date.
Mod Authors: Instructions to create a ModSync file
-Enable Dev Mode
-Go to the Mods page
-Select your mod
-On the right side there will be a new button "Create ModSync File"
-Fill out the information on the new window
-Confirm will be enabled once the Host information is complete and the "Validate" button has been clicked and the About.xml was successfully found.
Note: Currently Direct, Github, and Gitlab as a host are supported. Please request or implement other Hosts. The host must have the ability to retrieve the About.xml, ModSync.xml, and a page where the mod can be downloaded from.
Hosts:
Note: Currently Direct, Github, and Gitlab as a host are supported. Here are pages with instructions on how to fill each form of host out:
Direct[github.com]
Github[github.com]
Gitlab[github.com]
Additional Notes:
Please request or implement other Hosts. Instructions on implementing new hosts are up on the wiki[github.com].
Hosts must have the ability to retrieve the About.xml and ModSync.xml. A host must also have a page where the mod can be downloaded from.
This will use and update the same ModSync.xml file as ModSync.ninja used
