# smmodmanager 0.1.26 (windows-x64)

Channel: production
Target Starminer build: 23435040

This release includes the standalone Starminer Mod Manager executable with a graphical manager and CLI automation commands. It can read the SMMODS catalog, install, repair, or uninstall the pinned UE4SS runtime and StarminerBridge, install selected approved mods, uninstall selected mods, report catalog state, enable or disable installed mods, check launch readiness, and start Starminer when the install is ready.

App changes:
- Auto-detects Starminer from Steam library folders when possible.
- Refreshes catalog and install state once on app launch.
- Checks the published manager release metadata for newer manager ZIPs.
- Shows runtime, bridge, catalog, local unknown, and invalid installed mod state in the launcher grid.
- Adds install, uninstall, and repair controls for the managed runtime and bridge.
- Downloads catalog artifacts into a versioned cache with a foreground progress window before install.
- Adds Pause, Resume, Cancel, speed readout, and Clean cache controls for manager downloads.
- Uninstalls selected installed mods from the game ue4ss\Mods folder while preserving unrelated mods.txt entries.
- Writes and displays support reports with catalog, manager update, install state, launch readiness, per-check errors, and failed install diagnostics.

Install:
1. Download smmodmanager-0.1.26-windows-x64.zip.
2. Extract it to a user-writable folder such as %LOCALAPPDATA%\smmodmanager\.
3. Run smmodmanager.exe to open the graphical manager, or smmodmanager.exe --help from PowerShell or Command Prompt for automation commands.
4. Read docs\player-guide.md for install, update, repair, cache, uninstall, and game-update guidance.

Update:
1. Download the newer ZIP from the manager release metadata.
2. Extract it over the previous manager folder or into a new folder.
3. Keep the existing download cache if desired; cached artifacts are verified by SHA256 before use.

Uninstall:
1. Delete the extracted manager folder and any manager download cache you created.
2. This removes the manager only. It does not remove UE4SS, StarminerBridge, installed mods, or `ue4ss\Mods\mods.txt` from a selected game install.
