v2.7.2: Bugfix for discount on non-skin items in Modify Store, improved asset bundle versioning and compatibility check

Updates and Fixes

General Updates:

• Asset bundles are now versioned as major.minor instead of major.minor.patch. (e.g. 2.7 instead of 2.7.2). This ensures compatibility for existing assets when only plugins are being updated in a .patch release.

Bugfixes:

• Modify Store: Fixed a bug where discounts were being applied incorrectly due to an int vs float formatting issue

v2.7.1: Bugfix for setting exact price in Modify Store

Updates and Fixes

Bugfixes:

• Modify Store: Fixed a bug where setting an exact price could cause an error+crash

v2.7.0: Peru map, Modify Store can unlock items, Modify Animal Classes, improved support for Multi-Class Weapon Pack

Updates and Fixes

General Updates:

• New game files to support Patch 9.2 (game version 3263984) and the Intisuyu Peru Hunting Reserve

Updated Mods:

• Modify Store: Added support for modifying the locked attribute of items in the shop. This enables access to weapons and items that are normally restricted behind quest rewards, weapon score unlocks, or other requirements.
• Modify Animal Classes: Created by emon94. Edit the ammunition class of any animal in the game. Supports values between 1-15 to enable mods with extended weapon classes.
• Modify Weapon: Added support for the separate ammo-specific tuning files for all three rifles from the Multi-Class Weapon Pack DLC. They now work similarly to how birdshot/buckshot and slugs are separated for shotguns.

Bugfixes:

• Modify Store: Minimum price of skins is now 1 to prevent a bug where weapon skins cannot be viewed or modified.
• Modify Reticle Cost: Minimum price of reticles is now 1 since the game reverts to the default cost if the mod is set to 0

v2.6.0: Multi-Class Weapon Pack, "org" folder bundled separately, fix Modify Store bulk price edit, fix version checks

Updates and Fixes

General Updates:

• New game files to support Patch 9.1 (game version 3203113) and the Multi-Class Weapon Pack DLC
• Improved version checks - users should no longer see repeated "update available" notifications after installing a new version

Updated Mods:

• Modify Store: Fixed an error where bulk-applying a price to all free items accidentally applied that price to all items in the category

Note to developers/forkers: modbuilder/org folder no longer included

Several of the .ee bundle files have grown beyond 100MB and GitHub does not allow them to be uploaded through regular means. I weighed a few options but none were acceptable:

• Git LFS cannot be configured because this is a fork of the original repo. Additionally,, if I break that fork and upload this as a new standalone repo to enable LFS I am suddenly on the hook for bandwidth costs out of GitHub when users clone or fork this public repo.
• git clean and git smudge can apply compression to files but require local configuration to ensure the files are handled properly. This breaks immediately if someone downloads the repo through their browser as a zip. instead of through git clone

Ultimately I settled on removing the org folder from source code and packaging it separately as an asset bundle with each release (modbuilder_org_2.6.0.7z). The files are still packaged in with the built release (modbuilder.exe) so nothing changes if you're downloading and running the executable release from here or NexusMods. This should only affect users who are running from source (hatch run apcgui).

I've added sanity checks when the application starts to ensure the org folder is present and a notification will pop up if the versions are out of sync with a link to the release page. I may be able to add a one-button "download and install" down the line but wanted to get this out the door since it was already delayed by DECA issues.

v2.4.1: Bugfixes for Modify Ammo, catch and handle common error messages

Updates and Fixes

General Updates:

• Added a popup message if the user is running inside of the C:\Users\username\OneDrive folder. Mod Builder commonly encounters errors due to OneDrive locking files and the popup will instruct the user to move the modbuilder folder to a different directory

In my excitement to share the updated Modify Ammo plugin in 2.2.10 I mistakenly removed the classes from harvest integrity checks. My bad. This release puts that back in.

Bugfixes:

• Modify Ammo: Selected classes are now properly applied and will affect harvest checks.
