What's Changed

  • Changes related to logs.
  • Improvements to progress bars.
  • Added proper error messages for handling various code exception and errors that might arise while downloading mods.
  • Other bugfixes.

Note:

Virustotal is giving a false positive flagging it as a malware 7/72 scanners are showing it as malware. There are three reasons for that

  1. The app is built via pyinstaller, there are various forums showing that the app built via pyinstaller are being flagged as malware.
  2. The scanners don't know what file this is downloading. They probably think that the mods getting downloaded via re146.dev are malicious file and thats why they are flagging it as malware.
  3. The mod downloader overwrites the existing mods with the same name.

I use default windows defender, no threats here, and bit defender is also not showing it as malware.
If you have any concerns, please avoid downloading the file, I will try to fix the issue in the next version.
All the scanners using Yomi engine for scanning are flagging it as malware, the reasons are mentioned on their website which matches the #2 and #3 reason above
