Better ModMismatch Window

Replaces RimWorld's mod mismatch dialog with a side-by-side, GitHub-style comparison of the mods in your save and the mods you are running now.

Features

• Both lists are aligned row by row, so you can see exactly where mods were added, removed or moved.

• Added mods are green, removed mods red, load order changes blue and version changes amber (old -> new version).

• Summary counts, a search box, and toggles to hide unchanged mods or load order changes.

• Hover a row to see the mod's package id and version.

• Load anyway, load the mod list from the save, or save the current mod list, just like the vanilla dialog.

Version checking

Two options in Mod Settings:

• Enable writing mod metadata to the save (on by default): records the version of every running mod in the save header while the game saves. Version checking needs this data.

• Enable version checking (off by default): also opens the window when the mod list is the same but a mod's version differs from the one in the save.

Versions are read from About/Manifest.xml (the Fluffy's Mod Manager convention) or the modVersion tag in About.xml. A mod without either has no version and is never reported as changed.

Compatibility

• RimWorld 1.0 to 1.7, including the new Waylith engine in 1.7.

• Requires Harmony.

• No load order requirements. Safe to add to or remove from an existing save.

Changelog

v1.2.0

• RimWorld 1.7 (Waylith engine) support. RimWorld 1.6 now loads its own build instead of the 1.5 one.

• Redesigned window: summary and legend, search, filters, compact one-line rows, tooltips, Save mod list button.

• Mods are matched by package id with an optimal alignment; reordered mods are shown as moved instead of removed and added.

• Mod versions are written while the game saves, instead of loading and re-writing the whole save file afterwards.

• Versions are also read from the modVersion tag in About.xml.

• Rows follow the game font size; the old fixed row height could stop the window from drawing at all.

v1.2 RimWorld 1.4 and 1.5 support, text alignment fix. v1.1.36 RimWorld 1.3 support. v1.1.35 RimWorld 1.2 support. v1.1.34 Fixed an incompatibility with RimWorld 1.1.2597 (reported by Tynan); versions are matched by package id instead of mod name. v1.1.33 Depends on the Harmony mod instead of bundling Harmony. v1.1.32 RimWorld 1.1 support. v1.1.31 Fixed conflicts with Fluffy's Mod Manager and RimSaves. v1.1.2 Version checking can be turned on and off in Mod Settings. v1.1.0 Version mismatch checking. v1.0.0 Initial release.
