Pulsar 0.4.0

A big one: mods now install in the standard BepInEx layout, removing and updating say what they will do first, and the Log tab shows your game’s own log.

New

• Mods in their own folders. Each mod now installs into its own folder under BepInEx/plugins, the layout most mod guides and community helpers expect. Your existing mods move over the first time you play, with nothing to download.
• TCG Card Shop Simulator. You can now add it and mod it. On Linux it runs through Proton.
• Any version of a mod. On a mod you have installed, pick an older or newer version from its version list and choose Change to.
• Modpacks install as packed. A modpack installs every mod at the exact version the pack lists, and the summary shows anything it moves up or down.
• Your game’s log in the Log tab. The Log tab shows BepInEx’s output next to Pulsar’s own, for the game you last played. Copy log copies it for sharing, and Open log folder and Open mods folder take you straight there. Requested on our Discord. (#14)

Improved

• Removing a mod. Pulsar lists the mods it came with that nothing else uses and removes them too, unless you untick them. If other mods need the one you are removing, it tells you they may stop working.
• Disabling a mod. If other mods need it, you choose whether to disable them too. Turning a mod back on turns on what it needs.
• Update all. One confirmation lists every update before anything changes. A mod that can’t be updated is skipped and named, and the rest still update.
• Warnings. Mods at risk and deprecated mods are marked in amber, and the install summary says a mod may not work rather than will not.
• Launching from Steam. For most games, starting the game from Steam now runs it without mods. Play in Pulsar still loads them.
• Add a game. Each card shows the systems a game runs on as icons in its corner.

Fixed

• On Linux, games that load mods through version.dll. Under Proton, mods now load for games whose BepInEx pack uses it, such as Inscryption. Any Wine settings you had set yourself are kept.
• A different game folder. If Steam runs your game from another folder than the one Pulsar set up, Play now says so and names both folders, instead of starting the game without mods.
• Browse in Game settings. It opens at the folder shown above it.

Updating

Pulsar downloads the update by itself. When Update 0.4.0 appears at the bottom of the app, click it and Pulsar restarts on the new version.
