Cafe Mod Manager, an open source Wii U mod manager built using Qt.



Features
- File Replacement
- Keeps track of, imports, installs and uninstalls mods.
- Auto-detection of games, support for all Wii U games in .rpx format. (Aka not just BotW)
- Scans Cemu for DLC/Update data and adds found games to game list
- https://giant.gfycat.com/UncomfortableLeadingAtlanticblackgoby.gif


Future Plans
- File editing, patching, game specific code modification
- Built with expansion and updates in mind. Let me know what you want to see!


Usage
The first time you open the mod manager, a box will pop up asking for your Cemu directory. Click the box to the right of the empty "Cemu directory field" and open your Cemu.exe. Any games you have will be automatically added.

Note: You need to have at least one DLC/Update file installed for Cafe Mod Manager to recognize it. In the future this will be fixed.

The file manager uses a custom archive format (.cmm files). They contain the mod and metadata about the mod. These files are user created and should be shared over modding sites such as gamebanana. As of writing this post there aren't any. The mod manager currently has a .cmm creation tool built in and a formatting guide in with the executable download. The idea is that modders will adopt this format and do away with the manual installs.

Note: Converting a folder to a .cmm file will output the .cmm file in the CMMConvert folder created in the .exe's directory.

Updating old Versions
Since the manager is in its early stages, the safest way to update is to;
1) Uninstall all mods for all games
2) Delete the old mod manager (don't just overwrite)
3) Unpack the new version wherever you like

Once again, there is no support for this manager atm and the community will have to supply the mod files. Formatting mods is very straightforward, and I hope people pick it up.


[Beta Warning!]
This is the first release! As far as I know, there aren't any bugs, but I'm not perfect, and there will be. The only thing you have to backup right now is your mlc01 Cemu folder. (Unless you add your rpx games manually.)

[Update Log]

1.2:

- Fixed bug where conflicting mods wouldn't fully install and would corrupt backup.
- Combo box no longer shows nothing as a default if the user has any games.
