Mod appearing multiple times in the mod list
Stardrop Version: 1.1.0 Log File (very likely irrelevant for this particular issue): nxm.txt SMAPI Version: 4.0.6 OS: Windows 10 Nexus API key installed, no premium.
Issue: Various Elle's mods (AT version) are showing up multiple times on the mod list.
At a guess, I'd say it probably has something to do with the folder structure of the mod:
And likely influenced by the fact that each folder has a manifest.json in it:
A quick look at the manifest files shows they all have the same name, but different UniqueID values. My assumption is you use the Name as your display name, which makes perfect sense. However, when there are multiple mods with the same name, it does make it impossible to tell which is which in the UI.
Potential fixes off the top of my head:
- When there are identically named mods, replace with/append the UniqueID.
- Alternatively, add UniqueID to the toggleable column list
- When there is a mod with multiple manifest files, use the mod name as a heading, and internal folder structure as display names (so you can still turn individual parts on and off)
- Collate all identically named mods into one entry, and leave it up to mod devs/players to make sense of the mess via configs. (I don't think this is a good option! But it would at least make it less of a mess in Stardrop's UI.)
At the moment the only thing I can think of to make them distinguishable is to edit the manifest files, which seems like a terrible idea and would probably break the update checker.
If you need any info or if I can be of any help, please let me know!
