Just noticed that there doesn't seem to be a way to remove mods from the mod pane once you have installed them. I'd just like to request this fix.

I have been playing with tons of mods before using the program, and so I have very customized config I'd like to install now. However, if I put it in regular directory (AppData/.../mods), when starting the game with ModMyFactory 2 the mod settings are default.
Can't seem to find the config storage in the program directory.

When I try to download mods with this tool, it says I need to log in, but does not indicate how or where to create an account. I do not need any log in to download mods normally in-game.

After executing a command:
ModMyFactoryGUI.exe -i pack.fmpa

I have got a crash, because the mod is already existing in my system. Exception message on english: "Can't create file, because it exists already"

[12:37:37 ERR] Application crashed System.IO.IOException: Невозможно создать файл, так как он уже существует. at System.IO.FileSystem.MoveFile(String sourceFullPath, String destFullPath, Boolean overwrite) at System.IO.FileInfo.MoveTo(String destFileName, Boolean overwrite) at System.IO.FileInfo.MoveTo(String destFileName) at ModMyFactory.IO.FileInfoExtensions.MoveToAsync(FileInfo file, String path) at ModMyFactory.Mods.ZippedModFile.MoveToAsync(String destination) at ModMyFactoryGUI.Helpers.ImportHelper.ImportModAsync(ImportResult result, ModDefinition modDef, AccurateVersion versionToDownload, IProgress1 progress) in C:\projects\modmyfactory-gui\ModMyFactoryGUI\Helpers\ImportHelper.cs:line 139

If I am in the 'Manager' tab, have some mods selected, and pick 'New modpack', I expect that it will make a new modpack with my selected mods. This is not happening. The new modpack is empty. All pack.json says is

{
  "Version": 2,
  "Mods": [],
  "Modpacks": [
    {
      "Uid": 0,
      "Name": "MyMustHaves2022",
      "ModIds": [],
      "ModpackIds": []
    }
  ]
}

The cause is that the index argument in NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs does not match the changed row. If a lot of changes occur like the filter function, specifying individual indexes will reduce performance, the following is a good way to fix it easily, but there are problem that the newly created Modpack does not come to the top, or is added outside the visible area of ​​the scroll view.

Recently I had gotten a new SSD and decided to move all my games to it, but steam wasn't installed on it so it made a "SteamLibrary" folder where it put the games. Factorio was there and I was trying to figure out how to make MMF detect Factorio from the new folder, as it was no longer in the C drive. Reinstalling MMF did nothing, changing some settings did nothing. Decided to reinstall steam in the new drive and it worked. It seems like MMF only tries to detect the base "Steam" folder and not any "SteamLibrary" folders anywhere else.

My resolution is 1920x1080

so i tried using unselect all mods and the app crashed and then after trying to open it after double clicking the exe does nothing(app doesn't open)

log_20200612.txt

edit: seems something to do with this
https://www.dropbox.com/s/t17l656mtt1y77g/modpacks.json?dl=0

also https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Upgradable_Mining_Drones says its an invalid mod and also doesn't show in my mod list

any ideas when?

I installed the application, when I started it, a window appeared for 1 second and closed with an error. I attach the log.

Please help if you will.

I'm trying to duplicate an older modpack to modify and upgrade mods without making a mess of the old one for the old save where I've advanced a lot.

I've exported the old one (without mods inclusion), and changed the name inside to a new name.

Then I've tried to import it back, which was not happening with this command line:
ModMyFactoryGUI --import g:\Games\ModMyFactory\Modpack export\Unholy Legal.fmp

It simply started up your utility without importing anything.

I'm sure that I did something wrong, or in wrong order, but haven't found any helpful info by googling for it.
Can you help after the new year hangover passes? ;)

Thanks.

Will it be possible to update the already downloaded version of the game instead of downloading and installing it again?

Hey, not sure how to debug this one but I've pulled in some mods, and now when I go to check the mod library for anything else interesting I get "A server-side error occured. please try again later."

I will note that my "Router" (It's a Home Hub 3000 which is notorious for being a POS) has been on the blink and if your app is relying on UPnP that might be where the issue is, but that's an assumption I can't exactly test and may not make sense just to poll a server.

Release v4.1.2.22-beta works fine though.

i am trying to update my mods from 1.0 to 1.1 and says all the mods are upto date

https://i.imgur.com/i0nWG2C.png

I am trying to make a modpack, but when I close the window the application freezes during the save. I tried to get my system setup to be able to help debug the issue, but I am running into too many errors dealing with the dotnet framework (and I am not a dotnet or C# dev) trying to get it to build.

System and application information

When the options are selected, the "mods" folder is automatically created in the installation folder, but the mods still continue to be uploaded to appdata and the changes are not saved.

Hey, I really liked ModMyFactory and wanted to give the new version a shot.
Unfortunately the program immediately crashes after a second or two and giving me "An unkown server error occurred" message in the logs (which I attached).

Maybe you look into that. Thanks in advance :)

I tried using the mod manager from the program, but it crashed for some reason when i searched for a different mod Here is the log file
log_20210217.txt

Mod packs are removed from the interface till the ModFactory is reopened then they show up again.

OS: Manjaro 22.0.0
MMF2 version: v4.3.4.42-beta_linux64

The modpacks were created under windows with the windows version and copied over to my linux installation.
What i tried:

1. Drag and drop from different parts of any one entry in the mod list
2. Removed and re-installed MMF2

The problem still persists

i would like to add in support to zip up all mods within a modpack

Unhandled exception. System.ArgumentException: Mod has incorrect Factorio version.

so i added all my mods and created a modpack and then closed it, next time i opened it shows its open in the taskbar but no GUI.
ModMyFactoryGUI.zip

It seems as if a mod with certain versioning, even if compatible with current factorio, is in the wrong folder it will cause the program to not start period.
This is a problem because for example people might dump their existing mods repository in once the program is set up.

Basically here are 3 (4) files that cause a crash. The program simply refuses to start outright. The crash log gets nowhere useful if the files are put in the "wrong" version folder manually

Separately but maybe related, importing the zip as an Add Mod can cause a crash like below although i'm not totally sure what steps I took to accomplish this and it hasn't reoccured over a tiny bit of testing.

Currently, you can't move around/reorder your modpacks, but I think you should be able to move them. Easier organization that way. No more needed to be said :P

• Add feature to change mod order in saved modpack (dup: #38);
• Add feature to delete few mods at once (Shift + LMB to select, Delete);
• Add feature to import mods from save file into modpack;
• Add feature to export ModMyFactory2 modpack (.fmpa, .fmp) into Factorio modpack (.zip with info.json file with dependencies field) (possible dup: #6).

P.S. Thank you @Artentus for this tool.

Not sure if anyone has brought this up, I've seen another for crashing but they didn't specify it was while updating mods

When I attempt to update all mods it crashes, checked the folder for a log file, doesn't seem to be one.

So an idea for debugging: maybe add a log file

Otherwise I'd have to go through and manually update each mod (which I have a lot of) to find out which one specifically is causing the crash

After I extract the zip folder and open the app and create myself a modpack and want to create a factorio shortcut it closes the window before I can type something and save it. Then when I tried to open it again the .exe file wasn't there. When I tried to extract it again it said that my access was denied. When I use the sip file to create a shortcut it works fine, but then I can't use the shortcut as it can't find the file.

2. When a modpack is checked off for use, it also checks off mods as semi-use(Square), however if modpacks is checked off, the mods checkbox doesn't change
3. Clicking the modpack checkbox twice, unchecks all the mods but not the modpack
4. Checking the mods checkbox shouldnt affect the modpacks selection at all. As you want to use all the mods, and it feels off that it's saying you're going to use a modpack.
5. Deleting a mod pack closes the mod manager.

if I get bored I could keep adding to the list.

When importing multiple mods at once, only the first is imported.

Win10 64, running the alpha_win.zip version.

OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
Version: v4.0.2.19-beta, also tried with v4.0.2.18
Issue: The program opens just fine, but there is no window displayed. This is after getting a proper modpack set up and using it for a few days. After a crash and/or an update the issue appeared (I'm not sure which one caused it). The log (attached) seems to show it opening fine and working no problem, but there is no window visible on screen. I had ModMyFactoryGUI.exe pinned to the taskbar.

Windows shows the icon in the taskbar and I can bring the program to the foreground but there is nothing visible.

Please note that the window is not off screen (which I have had happen with a previous version of ModMyFactory2) as the usual fixes of "[Meta]+[Arrow Key]" or "[Shift]+RClick icon --> `cascade windows'" don't work.

Known workaround:
Removing my "ModMyFactoryGUI" folder from Appdata allows the program to open like normal, making me suspect that one or more files were corrupted at some point. I've slowly re-added files back to the directory and noticed that I could restore all of my files except "settings.json". For that reason, I've attached an anonymised version (with my credentials removed) here of the glitchy settings.json that seems to break the program.

No idea what caused this file to break, hopefully it's a simple fix

When I try to log in with my Factorio username and password like I used to in MMF it keeps returning me "A server-side error occured, please try again later."
Issue happens when you try to add login information in Settings window and when you attempt to download mods from the app.
I'm on Windows x64 standalone latest version on tag release.

Hey there, Might sound like an idiot but I can't for the life of me figure out how to install this.
I am on MacOS
Could someone kindly explain?

Thanks

When trying to find out how to run verbose I found that you have two help menus, and thought it might be worth you compiling them into one.

  --help             Display this help screen.

  --version          Display version information.

I understand that the -h is not an option, but given that it says --help displays this help screen and doesn't just seemed inconsistent to me.

Whenever I try to start the manager, if I have managed to manually create a managed install (as the download/import process is separately broken) or if I have not deleted the modpacks.json file, the app immediately crashes.

It appears that you are running into the 'only main thread does UI' limitation placed on cocoa apps, but I don't know why this is only an issue with a loaded factorio instance or modpacks file.

Changes

• Added Brazillian Portuguese localization languages and image.

Comments:
I was unable to make the context menu recognize properly the brazillian language: saving the .json file and the png as 'br.json' results in a different language name, saving as 'ptBR.json' doesn't gets recognized as a language, saving as pt was the only way to make it appear in the context menu. But its not the proper way to name it as ptPT stands for Portuguese from Portugal and ptBR stands for Portuguese from Brazil, altho they seem the same, there are lots of language differences between them.

I tried to commit directly to the repository but since it wasn't allowed I made this "issue" post to send the changes
Files: ptBR.zip

After importing a mod (.zip), the app just closes. The zip is correctly moved to the mod folder, and after starting it again manually, the mod shows up properly, but it's not very intuitive.

when i set this to installation directory the app crashes and when i open it again the setting has been reverted to default

Trying to select anything besides default instance/mod location doesn't seem to work. Every time I reload the program it is back to the default location selected. I've tried deleting all the files and %appdata% folder, clicking accept, pressing enter, clicking the browse button for folder selection, pasting it in, running as administrator, updating to newer version of the program, being signed in, not being signed in, nothing changed the location option for both instance and mod location

Like the title says. I'm not sure if the issue is mod based or time as it occurs when I'm searching for mods, but also after about the same amount of time of the application being open. The application doesn't just crash though. It will not load the GUI window at all when I attempt to open it again. I have to go into %appdata% and delete the settings.json in order for it to load up correctly. Log attached.

The help icon sends you to the github page instead of offering any help.

Clicking update mods seems to close the whole program right now. Not sure what is going on.

Hey, great program.

Was using 4.2.2.24 with Factorio 1.0 (Steam install) and everything was working
but after updateing to Factoro 1.1.x all the mods became disabled, and even when "enabling" them in ModMyFactory2, when I click Launch, it doesn't enable any mods now.

It doesn't seem to edit the modslist.json
Or save any of my Settings in the application

Thank you
Brendan

I'm mrhedgehog0 on the Factorio Forums, and I am here to answer as many mac-specific questions as I can. Please note that I am not a .NET dev, so I can't tell you about quirks on .NET on mac.

Good Day

i been using the ModMyFactory 1.X for a long time, is a great tool for multiple mod-plays of Factorio. but for some reason this new version doesn't work for me, when i try to use ModMyFactoryGUI.exe nothing happens, no interface, no error, no nothing. then i check the Appdata, and in the log says for some reason that he shutdown himself ¿?. Maybe i need a prerequisite, a core.Net or something like that?
