CDUMM – 红色沙漠模组管理器（支持v3 JSON格式）（CDUMM – Crimson Desert Mods Manager (v3 JSON Supported)）

• Version 32 - CDUMM v3.1.3 - Everything between v3.1.1 and v3.1.3. Three days of iteration: mid-week hotfixes then today's cross-layer merge rewrite. - --- - Headline changes - - Same-file conflicts now combine. Two JSON mods that both modify gamedata/iteminfo.pabgb (Fat Stacks 9999 + ExtraSockets V2.2.0 being the canonical example) no longer silently drop each other. - All enabled JSON mods' patches now feed through a single patching pass so cumulative byte-offset tracking works across mod boundaries. Verified end-to-end: stacks at 9999 AND 5 sockets on every - equippable, at the same time, in game. - - Apply no longer hangs at 7%. The 0008/iteminfo.pabgb parse was firing thousands of per-byte-overlap INFO log lines through the subprocess stderr pipe, saturating it and freezing the GUI until - the pipe drained. Those lines are now DEBUG. Parse feels instant. - - Apply no longer crashes on partial-compressed textures. zlib Error -3 while reading PATHC (happens when a texture mod was regenerated with a different compression profile) used to kill the whole - apply. Now it downgrades to a soft warning with a "Run Settings → Fix Everything" hint;
• the rest of the overlay ships cleanly. - - Bug Report stops lying. The byte-verification summary ("N verified, M mismatched, K skipped") now uses the same counting as the import rejection. No more "0 mismatched" on the report while the - import says "13 don't match." - Cross-layer merge ( 145) - - New architecture for combining overlapping JSON mods: aggregate all enabled mods' patches by game file, sort by priority (CDUMM lowest number wins), run through _apply_byte_patches in a single - pass. Cumulative-delta tracking handles inserts from any contributing mod correctly. - - PAZ-directory mods (Fat Stacks Manual, Faster Vanilla Style) that ship their own full-file copies now correctly layer with JSON patches targeting the same logical file. The PAZ-dir mod's bytes - become the JSON patcher's base instead of vanilla. - - Guard against the old scenario where cross-layer skipped staging without a replacement mod: if a PAZ-dir mod is enabled alone with no JSON patch on the same file, it stages normally instead of - leaving an orphaned PAMT. - - import_json_as_entr now also archives the source JSON as json_source, so zip-imported JSON mods (ExtraSockets' typical path) participate in aggregation. Existing DB rows need a one-time - re-import to pick up the new storage format. - Regression fixes - - Pre-Qt crash catcher. If CDUMM dies in the first few seconds before the main window paints, you now get %LOCALAPPDATAummcrash-pre-qt.log (or %TEMPumm-crash-pre-qt.log as fallback) to - paste. Previously: silent exit with no log. Covers domolinixd1000's "closes in 2-3 seconds" report. - - Cdumm Variant XXXX name leak defense. prettify_mod_name now refuses to surface any internal temp-dir stem as a mod title. Worst case you see "Imported Mod" and can rename;
• you won't see the raw - tmp stem. - - Revert button tooltip now spells out: "Your save games are not touched — you can load your latest save and keep playing unmodded." Pflomme's question answered. - Verified already working in v3.1.3 (user reports that don't reproduce) - - Dark Mode Map (mod 411) imports as "Dark Mode Map" (reads modinfo.title), not the zip filename. - - Lightsaber mod (1016) imports as two linked mod rows — one for the PAZ binary stats, one for the JSON shop addition. No silent drop. - - Better Refinement Craft Cost (mod 1095) imports cleanly with all 18282 patches applied against a current-1.03.01 install;
• Basstanck's 13 failures are mod-side staleness (mod regenerated needed), - now diagnosable via the honest Bug Report. - New compatibility - - Proper 3rd Person Camera (mod 112) JSON variant: tested import + overlay path, encryption metadata preserved. If game still crashes for anyone after v3.1.3, it's separate from what v3.1.1 broke - and needs a fresh bug report. - Internal - - 290 unit tests passing (+20 new covering aggregation, cross-layer override, cumulative-delta fixes, diagnostic reconciliation, emergency crash dump, name sanitizer). - - collect_paz_dir_overrides, aggregate_json_mods_into_synthetic_patches, collect_enabled_json_targets — three new module-level helpers in apply_engine for testability. - How to update - 1. Download CDUMM3.exe from the Files tab. - 2. Replace your existing CDUMM3.exe. - 3. If two of your mods edit the same file (e.g., stack-size mod + socket mod, or any pair both touching iteminfo.pabgb), uninstall both and re-import both so they pick up the new storage format. - 4. Apply, launch game. - If something breaks, click Bug Report in the left sidebar, Save Report, paste it on the mod comments. - Thanks - Reporters whose feedback made this release: butanokaabii, estereba, SirFapZalot, Basstanck, Jerichoholic, Pflomme, domolinixd1000, MrHallsworth, ZirconX1, ProfessorRaltheraz, zismailjee, - Imsiebel360, RoninWoof, MythicalArcher. Version 31 - Headline changes - Batch import is 60% faster. Dropped 40 mods in 129s vs 319s on the v3.0.4 build. Rust native module now handles the hot loops (PAMT parsing, sparse delta scanning, ENTR byte comparison). Nested folder-variant mods now work. Mods like Character Creator ship with Female/Male at the top and Goblin/Human/Orc inside each. CDUMM now shows a second picker for the nested level, renders per-axis radio groups in the cog panel (Gender, Race), and installs bundled ASI plugins alongside whichever variant you pick. - Kliff Wears Damiane and similar mods no longer crash the game. Half-patched data tables used to get shipped and crash on splash. CDUMM now refuses the import cleanly with a clear "this mod is incompatible with your game version" message. - ExtraSockets and Rings and Earrings Abyss Sockets work. Generic name-offset resolver was missing for iteminfo.pabgb. Fixed, verified 884 of 884 and 155 of 155 patches apply cleanly. - New mod compatibility - ExtraSockets (mod 1274), full support via generic PABGB name resolver. - Rings and Earrings Abyss Sockets (mod 1379), same fix. - Character Creator (mod 837), nested Gender/Race picker plus bundled ASI installer. - Barber Unlocked 4.0 (mod 591), verified against the new loose-file texture-overlay pipeline. - Vaxis LoD Improvements (mod 733), folder-variant picker with proper pre-extraction. - Even Faster Vanilla Animations Trimmer (mod 774), preset-picker grouping. - Performance - Rust cdumm_native module: find_sparse_diffs and filter_changed_entries. - Vanilla PAMT parse cached across all mods in a batch (one parse, 40 uses). - Game version fingerprint cached per process. - Health check dedup between C1 and C6 stages. - Streaming card inserts during batch import, cards appear as each mod finishes instead of waiting for the whole batch. - UI polish - Cog icon moved next to the mod name so it's visually tied to the title. - Outdated summary tile plus Click To Update pill on ASI cards. - NEW badge and auto-sort for freshly imported mods. - Radio vs checkbox auto-detection in the preset picker based on byte-range conflict groups. - Per-preset Customize button restored. - Grid-grouped radio picker for multi-axis variant mods, per-axis section headers (Gender, Race, or Variant 1/Variant 2 fallback). - Follow Windows system theme live, no app restart needed. - Brazilian Portuguese translation complete (Kyo-70 PR plus 35 post-merge keys). - Bug fixes - Uninstall no longer crashes on mods with bare-hex JSON offsets like '12079F' (Kliff-style). - Partial-apply data-table abort covers both import-time and apply-time paths. - Bug Report page no longer flags JSON-patch mods as broken for having zero deltas. - Nexus mod ID preserved for nested-variant imports (Character Creator, etc.). - Barber Unlocked no longer shows a phantom cog (numbered game-data dirs filtered from variant detection). - Cog panel shows active leaf with an "(active)" tag and the correct mod name. - Barber-style mods with game-path folders at the root (character/, ui/) import correctly. - RAR support in the main import path (previously only zip and 7z). - Preset picker no longer loses selection when clicking Install (FolderVariantDialog yesButton wiring). - closeEvent crash on exit fixed (shiboken-deleted QThread guard). - Rescue_archive re-extracts when existing dir lacks the expected variant markers (VAXIS cog persistence). - Cog panel marks the right preset as active even when the mod has no "name" field (content signature fallback). - Auto-picked preset no longer vanishes before the worker reads it (temp dir cleanup deferred). - PrivateBin upload bundled so Bug Report submissions actually upload instead of falling back to raw text. - From v3.0.5 (not previously released) - AIO mod performance improvements. - Per-preset Customize button on cards that have one. - Upgrade path from v3.0.4: drop the new CDUMM3.exe in place of the old one, no database migration needed. Existing imports keep working. If you previously imported Kliff Wears Damiane Beta V2 and it's causing crashes, delete it from CDUMM before launching the game. Version 30 - CDUMM v3.0.4 — Stability & Polish - The first stable line since v3.0.0. Four version bumps of fixes compressed into one public release. - --- - JSON mods apply reliably now - JSON-based mods (Infinite Stamina, NSLW Inventory, More Inventory, Barbershop, Character Creator, and others) were reporting "apply successful" but not taking effect. Root cause: large vanilla - archives (like the ~100MB 0008/0.paz) exceeded the backup size threshold and never got saved, so mount-time extraction silently failed. - - CDUMM now dynamically discovers which archives your enabled JSON mods target and always backs those up — regardless of size. - - If the vanilla backup is missing, CDUMM falls back to the live game PAZ — but only if its hash still matches the snapshot fingerprint (so it can't accidentally patch an already-modded file). - - If neither source is usable, you get a clear error banner instead of silent success. - Texture mods finally work - Texture mods that add new DDS paths (Barber Unlocked, Character Creator, Stone Floor Textures Overhaul, etc.) now produce a full PAZ + PAMT + PATHC overlay. Previously these imported but rendered - blank in-game because CDUMM only patched the PATHC index without shipping the pixel data. - - Mixed mods that include both game XML and new preview DDS textures (Barber Unlocked's 452 haircut previews) now route all DDS files through the texture overlay pipeline. XMLs go to their correct - vanilla PAZ, DDSes get a fresh numbered PAZ + PATHC registration. - - Two DDS files sharing a filename in different folders no longer collapse in PATHC. - - Files named .dds without the DDS header are rejected at import instead of producing a broken overlay. - Conflicts dialog — complete redesign - - Split into Needs attention (real conflicts where you pick a winner) and Auto-resolved (CDUMM picked for you). - - In-dialog up/down arrows let you re-rank winning mods without closing. - - Proper Fluent sizing: 1080×780 default, QSizeGrip for user resize, fits smaller screens automatically. - - Load order direction is now unambiguous: the mod at the top of the list ( 1) wins. Tooltip on the section title and in the conflicts hint both say it explicitly. - Import improvements - - Script mods in zips — drop Glider Stamina.zip (or any single-.bat/.py zip) and CDUMM routes it straight to the script-mod flow. No more "extract this first" step. - - Multi-part mods — bundles that ship multiple JSON patches in one folder (Trust Me main + Pet Abyss Gear, etc.) import as separate mod rows. Each toggles independently. - - Xbox Game Pass — installs under C:/XboxGames/Crimson Desert/ now get detected. Previously CDUMM required bin64/CrimsonDesert.exe which doesn't exist in the Xbox layout. - - Duplicate detection — dropping "Infinite Stamina (All Skills Horse Spirit)" no longer silently overwrites "Infinite Stamina". Strict equality plus a three-option dialog (Update, Add as new, - Cancel) when names are similar but not identical. - - Better error messages — "No recognized game files" now lists what extensions were actually found, so you can tell at a glance if the drop was a readme, a PDF, a weird JSON schema, etc. - Version tracking - - Mods imported on v3.0.0 had empty version columns because the Nexus filename parser was a stub. The parser now ships on master and reads versions from both Nexus-formatted filenames - (ModName-id-ver-timestamp) and free-form names (ModName v1.2, Mod (1.03.00)). - - CDUMM backfills versions for mods you already have, next time it starts. Runs once per database. - Dark mode stays dark - - CDUMM now listens to Windows theme changes and repolishes the window, logo, and banner on the fly. Previously the app could flash white when your wallpaper slideshow advanced or Windows flipped - to light mode. - File housekeeping - - Bug reports, mod-list exports, and compatibility reports default to Documents/CDUMM/ instead of whatever folder CDUMM was launched from. No more random notepads in your Downloads folder. - Configurable via the export_dir config key. - Stability - - Fixed startup crash on Python 3.13 — replaced an invalid callable type annotation with Callable. - - Fixed Linux msvcrt crash on launch. - - Game launch via Steam/Xbox protocol handlers now works from both stores. - - Removed the stray debug log file that was being dropped in Downloads. Version 29 - What's New in v3.0.0 - **Complete UI Redesign** - - Card-based mod list with folder groups, drag-reorder, and side panel - - First-time welcome wizard: pick language, theme, and game folder in a guided setup - - Steam, Xbox, and Epic Games auto-detection with store logos - - Click the app logo to view About page - **Faster Everything** - - Batch import: drop dozens of mods at once, they all import in a single fast pass - - Apply optimized from 90s to 4s (cached) with Rust native engine + overlay cache - - 34 MB exe (down from 49 MB) - **Smarter Imports** - - ASI mods auto-detected when dropped alongside PAZ mods - - Folder variant mods prompt you to choose which variant - - Mod names automatically cleaned up for readability - - ASI plugins now show version numbers - **New Mod Features** - - Override mode: mod authors can declare conflict winners in modinfo.json - - Correct compression type for new files (DDS textures, soundbanks) - - Fixed PATHC self-hash for texture mods (Barber Unlocked, face edits) - - XML full replacement support (OG_ format) - - Inline JSON value editing (author metadata) - **Better Revert** - - Revert now restores PATHC, PAMTs, and PAZ files that were implicitly modified - - Verify Game State should show 0 modded files after revert - **Full Localization** - - All UI text now translatable (138 new keys across the entire app) - - 16 languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Korean, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified + Traditional), Arabic, Italian, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Indonesian, Portuguese (BR) - **For Mod Authors** - - conflict_mode: "override" in modinfo.json - - target_language field for language mods - - editable_value metadata for inline value editing Version 18 - NexusMods TOS Compliance - - Removed auto-update download. CDUMM no longer downloads executables from the internet. Update checks still work. When a new version is found, you are prompted to open the GitHub releases page in your browser to download manually. - Overlay PAZ System (v2.1.8+) - - Mods now write to a fresh overlay directory instead of modifying original game files. Your original PAZ and PAMT files stay vanilla. This matches JSON Mod Manager's approach and makes reverting instant. - - Automatic migration from in-place to overlay on first apply after update. No user action needed. - DDS Texture Mod Support - - Fixed type 0x01 DDS split handling. DDS headers are automatically fixed with correct flags, depth, mip sizes, and format identifier. Mods like Modern Controller Icons now work correctly. - Overlay Fixes (v2.1.9) - - Fixed overlay entries not being found by the game. The PAMT was using flattened folder paths instead of the full hierarchical paths the game uses. Full paths are now resolved from the vanilla PAMT folder tree. - - Fixed overlay PAMT format to match vanilla exactly. - - Fixed overlay directory colliding with standalone mods. - Bug Fixes - - Fixed false byte_range conflicts for entry-level delta mods. - - Fixed disabling a mod breaking other active mods. The import handler was copying the modded game PAZ instead of vanilla, so all active mods' changes got attributed to the new mod. - - Fixed removing a mod leaving PAMT and PATHC files partially modded with no vanilla backup. - - Fixed PAMT revert overwriting active mod changes when disabled mods shared a directory with enabled mods. - - Contaminated ENTR deltas from older imports are automatically cleaned on startup. - - Fix Everything no longer requires Steam verify. Asks if you verified, takes a snapshot only if yes, proceeds either way. - New Mod Formats - - Multi-variant loose file mods with picker dialog (e.g. VAXIS LOD Fix x1 through x5 quality options). - - Loose file mods without a files/ directory. Mods with game paths directly next to mod.json are resolved via PAMT lookup. - - Standalone PAZ mods with mod.json now correctly detected and imported. - - Null-byte padding fix for mods with smaller content than vanilla (XML and CSS files). Version 7 - v1.0.0 - New Features - - JSON byte-patch mod support — Drop .json patch files directly and they just work. Full compatibility with mods from https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/113 - - Loose-file mod support — Mods distributed as manifest.json + raw game files are automatically repacked into PAZ format - - UI redesign — Sidebar navigation (Mods / ASI / Tools), bottom action bar with Apply, Launch Game, and Revert buttons, dark cinematic theme with amber accents - - Drop-to-update — Dropping a newer version of an already-installed mod auto-detects and updates it - - Launch Game button — Start the game directly from the app - - ASI right-click menu — Clean context menu replaces inline buttons - Improvements - - Drop zone now accepts .json files alongside zip, folder, .bat, .py - - ASI update uses folder picker and copies companion .ini files - - ASI plugin detection searches subdirectories recursively - - Auto-update download progress no longer gets stuck at 0% - Credits - - Lazorr — https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/62 — PAZ parsing and repacking tools that CDUMM's archive pipeline is built on - - PhorgeForge — https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/113 — JSON byte-patch mod format, natively supported by CDUMM - - 993499094 — https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/218 — Hard link deployment approach and modinfo.json format Version 6 - v0.9.3 Patch Notes - New Features - - Splash screen on startup while app loads - - Mod Profiles: save and load different mod configurations (Profiles button in toolbar) - - Drag-to-reorder mod load order by dragging rows in the table - - Auto-update: checks GitHub on every launch, downloads and installs automatically - - Export mod list as shareable JSON file - - Import mod list to see which mods you're missing compared to another user - - View Mod Contents dialog: shows which game files a mod touches with byte ranges - - Game version detection: stamps mods on import, warns if a mod was imported for a different game version - - Mod update overlay: right-click a mod and click Update, window dims and says "Drop updated files here" with mod name validation - - Standalone PAZ mods (CD JSON Mod Manager format) can now be imported without a vanilla snapshot - Improvements - - Faster startup: window appears instantly, status checks run in background - - Backup verification runs in background with progress dialog instead of freezing the UI - - Script mod import is faster: smarter target detection, skips unnecessary vanilla restore when files already match snapshot - - Smaller exe: switched to pyside6-essentials, excludes unused Qt modules - Fixes - - Fixed drag-drop for mod imports working anywhere on the window, not just the drop zone - - Auto-switches to the correct tab (PAZ or ASI) after importing a mod - - Auto-apply after importing or uninstalling a mod, no need to click Apply manually - - Fixed status showing "not applied" for mods that add new directories (like font mods) - - Fixed status thread crash on repeated refresh Version 5 - v0.7.8 Patch Notes - Critical Fixes - - Fixed PAPGT rebuild corrupting mod data — entry field order was wrong, causing mods that add new directories (e.g., Map Tweaks, Fat Stacks) to silently fail. Game loaded but mod had no effect - - Fixed delta file paths not updating after migration to CDMods folder, causing "system cannot find the path" errors on Apply - - Fixed app not launching (startup hang caused by thread signal serialization) - - Removed hard link backups — replaced with real file copies. Hard links caused backup corruption when script mods modified game files directly - - Auto-purges corrupted vanilla backups on first launch after upgrade - New Features - - Mod Status column shows actual game state: active (green), not applied (orange), no data (red), disabled (gray) - - Snapshot status bar detects game updates and shows OUTDATED warning - - Added "Game Directory..." button to toolbar — change your game install path without deleting the database - - Auto-apply now runs when uninstalling a mod, no need to click Apply separately - Script Mod Improvements - - Script mod import (backup, restore, pre-hash) moved to background thread — no more UI freezing - - Smarter script target detection — catches more reference patterns, fewer files to process - - Skips unnecessary vanilla file restore when files already match snapshot - UI - - Window appears instantly, status computed in background - - Removed Import Mod button (use drag-and-drop instead) Version 4 - v0.7.0 Patch Notes - New Features - Hard Link Backups + CDMods Directory - - Vanilla backups and mod deltas are now stored in a CDMods/ folder inside your game directory instead of AppData, keeping everything on the same drive - - Backups now use hard links instead of file copies for multi-GB PAZ files — instant creation, zero extra disk space - - Automatically falls back to regular copy if hard links aren't supported - - Existing users: your data is auto-migrated from the old location on first launch - modinfo.json Support - - Mod authors can now include a modinfo.json file with their mods containing name, author, version, and description - - New Author and Version columns in the mod list display this metadata - - Mod name is auto-populated from modinfo.json when present - PAMT CRC Auto-Fix - - The manager now automatically verifies and corrects PAMT integrity hashes during import - - Prevents game crashes caused by mods shipped with incorrect PAMT checksums - Version Display - - App version is now shown in the window title bar and status bar - Rename - - Exe renamed to CDUMM.exe (Crimson Desert Ultimate Mods Manager) - - All internal references updated accordingly - - Existing database and settings are auto-migrated - Bug Fixes - - Fixed broken revert and apply test assertions - Credits - Special thanks to 993499094 for sharing their mod manager source code with us. Their hard link deployment approach inspired the backup optimization in this release.

v3.3.0

• v3.3.0 - The crewny23 ALL Weapons and Armor Fully Usable mod (Nexus 1543) now imports the armor portion when you drop the extracted folder or the 7z/rar variant. v3.2.15's fix only patched the zip-drop path. Three reporters hit this on v3.2.15. Both remaining branches now run the same sibling pass, so all three drop shapes import the JSON byte-patch and the loose-file iteminfo.pabgb together as one mod. - A Crimson Desert crash mid-run no longer wipes your CDUMM mod list, theme, and snapshot record on the next launch. The bootstrap was using a 200 KB size threshold to decide whether the live cdumm.db was fresh, but a real install with a handful of mods sits below that line, so a torn or 0-byte file got silently overwritten or handed to SQLite which treats 0 bytes as a brand-new database. The bootstrap now checks for actual user data via SQLite instead of file size, writes a rolling cdumm.db.bak1 / cdumm.db.bak2 next to the live DB on every startup, and recovers from the sibling backup when the live file is missing, zero, corrupt, or empty. - The Conflicts dialog's load-order panel no longer says one thing and does the opposite. The hint read "Higher rows win" but the sort put the highest priority NUMBER at the top, while the engine treats the lowest priority number as the winner. Row 1 of the panel was the actual loser. The list now sorts so the engine winner sits at the top, the hint reads "The mod at the top wins when two of these touch the same byte", and the move-up / move-down arrows say "this mod wins more conflicts" / "other mods win more conflicts". - The Apply Completed with Warnings banner stops mashing two unrelated things into one broken sentence. The cross-layer base case and the live-PAZ self-heal case used to share one warning template, and the cross-layer call site passed a complete sentence that the template prepended "Vanilla backup missing for" onto. Each path now emits its own clean sentence. - The mod options side panel got Select All and Deselect All buttons, plus a visible resize handle. A Select All / Deselect All bar now sits above the patch list whenever there are five or more independent toggles, and indices that are part of a mutex preset family are excluded so a Select All cannot break the mutex pick. The resize handle on the right edge was a 4 pixel transparent strip that nobody could find;
• it is now 8 pixels wide with a faint vertical hairline that brightens on hover. - The "new version available" banner now downloads CDUMM3.exe directly instead of dropping you on the GitHub releases page. The button grabs the right asset for your platform, shows a progress indicator, and on success opens Explorer or Finder with the file selected so you can drag it into place. A secondary Release notes link still points at the GitHub page. Network failure falls back to opening the release page. - CDUMM stops scanning all 26 drive letters at launch. The Steam-install detection probed A through Z, and on Windows a probe against a disconnected or stale network drive letter blocks for around 30 seconds each. A user with a couple of stale mounts could hang the splash screen for minutes. The launch path now asks Windows for the list of mounted local drives and only probes those. If launch still fails for you, please grab cdumm.log and crash-pre-qt.log from %LOCALAPPDATAumm and we can see exactly where it stops. - Drag-drop crashes now leave an actionable trace in cdumm.log. The four drag-drop entry points in the mod-card layout now wrap their bodies with try/except that logs the full stack trace at ERROR before re-raising, so the next time the crash happens the trace lands in the log file ready to ship in a bug report.

v3.2.13

• v3.2.13 . Eight fixes from real reports. - Character Creator (and any JSON patch mod where the vanilla snapshot was incomplete) imports cleanly now. The PAMT cache was being shared across the game directory and the vanilla snapshot, so whichever was indexed first won and the other side loaded paths that pointed at the wrong tree. Cache is now per directory. - Mods that ship raw replacement files at the game's actual folder layout (think character/.../foo.pac or gamedata/binary__/.../skill.pabgb) import without needing a mod.json. Drop the folder, CDUMM looks each file up against the PAMT and routes it through the same engine JSON byte-patch mods already use. Confirmed against Aeserion Dragonslayer Greatsword V3 and Healthbar Always On. - 50,000-file audio mods and full-voice translation packs no longer get killed by the import stall watchdog at the five-minute mark. The watchdog still fires for genuinely hung workers, the threshold is now thirty minutes. Thanks to Ny4tsuru and srimk. - Format 3 mods that bundle several game-file targets into one JSON file are no longer dropped at the front door. The detector knew the singular target shape but not the plural targets list. The downstream parser already handled it, just the detector was missing the case. Thanks to jhs9354. - The "your game is in Program Files" warning stops misfiring when steamapps is a junction to a user-writable folder. The check resolves junctions first now and looks at where the data actually lives. Thanks to DemonBigj781. - The "Apply Completed with Warnings" banner is in plain English now. The size-changing-conflict and full-replace-conflict paragraphs used to read like a console dump (delta, byte-merge, mid-token, byte counts). They read as regular sentences now: which mods could not be applied, which one won, how to swap them in the load order. - Preset radios in the configuration panel wrap when there are too many to fit on one line. Mods with many preset variants (mod 1103 has twelve) used to chop the rightmost options off the panel with no way to reach them. Thanks to wootwoots. - Format 3 cooltime mods actually take effect in game. v3.2.12 had a defensive guard that prevented the crash but left cooltime stuck at vanilla. v3.2.13 fixes the parser layout itself so the intent lands where mod authors target it. Confirmed against hhkbble's My_ItemBuffs_Mod on item 1001250.

v3.2.10

• Patch notes (CDUMM v3.2.10) - Headline: Multi-mod stacking fixes that previously crashed the game on launch. Plus iteminfo Format 3 native parser, skill.pabgb support, configurable mod storage path, preset selector, resizable config panel, and a conflicts tree that no longer resets every refresh. - Crashes fixed: - - Game no longer crashes on launch when two mods both ship a full-replace bsdiff for the same .paz. CDUMM was applying every full-replace bsdiff sequentially when more than one targeted the same archive. Each bsdiff is computed against vanilla, so the second one fed a non-vanilla input produced a corrupted, truncated paz. Now picks only the priority winner and surfaces a yellow banner naming the skipped mod. Repro: Enhanced Internal Graphics V2.8 (Nexus 651) plus Vaxis Water Physics Overhaul Mod (Nexus 2376) both full-replacing 0003/0.paz. - - Multi-mod XML/CSS/HTML byte-merge no longer truncates size-changing mods to vanilla length. The byte-merge fallback called merge_compiled_mod_files which always emits a buffer the same length as vanilla and silently drops bytes past that length. When a contributing mod grew the file, those bytes got truncated mid-token, producing malformed XML the engine accepted at parse but rendered unusable (input captured but no actions dispatched, could not even ALT+F4 out). Same size-change guard the overlay-merge path already had now applied here too. Repro: Faster Interactions All RAW assumption the engine required all three. That premise was wrong. Vanilla Crimson Desert XMLs are inconsistent (some have a BOM, some do not, some use mixed line endings). Forcing every modded XML into one shape corrupted files whose vanilla didn't match. CDUMM now reads the vanilla XML for each entry and matches its BOM and declaration only, leaving line endings as the mod author shipped them. Re-import affected mods after updating to refresh the cached delta. - Format 3 expansion: - - Iteminfo Format 3 mods (buff, enchant, item-stack, drop, prefab, sealable, transmutation) apply correctly on the post-2026-04-29 game patch. Pearl Abyss added 10 bytes per iteminfo record and changed nested struct shapes (PrefabData tribe layout, sharpness data discriminator, lantern equip block, pattern description list, post-cooltime fields). The previous parser misaligned and either crashed mid-parse or produced 0 byte changes. CDUMM now ships a clean-room native Python parser that walks all 6236 iteminfo records byte-perfect. - - Lantern items (equip_type 0x97C2FAE8) parse correctly. The post-patch binary inserts a 12-byte block on lanterns that the parser now reads conditionally on equip_type and round-trips byte-identical. - - skill.pabgb primitive Format 3 mods supported. Mods targeting a primitive field on skill.pabgb (mission effects, attack-stamina drains) used to be silently dropped because skill.pabgb has no CDUMM PABGB record schema. The validator and apply path now consult field_schema/skill.json in the no-schema branch. Voiddoiv contributed the starter entry for mission_eff_farming_i. - - skill.pabgb raw-record replacement intents (_buff_data_raw style) supported. Some mods ship full old + new hex blobs and the apply path now searches the entry's payload for the old bytes and rewrites them. Skips with a clear log line when the bytes don't match (game-version drift) or match at multiple positions (ambiguous). - UI and UX: - - Preset selector for multi-option JSON mods. When a mod ships labeled groups like [1%], [10%], [25%], the config panel now auto-detects them and shows a radio row at the top. Click one and the rest deselect. Custom is the manual-toggling fallback. - - Config panel is user-resizable. Hover the right edge until the cursor changes and drag to whatever width fits the longest text. Caps at 480 and 1200 px. Width persists per session. - - Configurable mod storage path. Settings, Mod storage location, Change. Pick any folder including a different drive. CDUMM migrates everything atomically with hash verify and writes a pointer file so the next launch finds the new location. - - Conflicts tree no longer resets on every refresh. Previously each rebuild called removeRows + expandAll which wiped expansion, scroll, and selection. Now captures expansion state by stable identity (mod-pair tuple + child file-path) and restores it after the rebuild. Auto-expand only fires on first population. - - Plain-English size-merge banner. Drops jargon (file size, inserts, byte-level, aggregated JSON internal label) in favor of one sentence stating which mod is inactive plus the action to take. - Reporters credited (Nexus comments): Matt1713, gmVIP233, joaomafer, Malowded, AsteiosSaber, wootwoots, madsurgery, TheBigNoah, UnknownLOL, BekFromKrkw, voiddoiv, Faisal/test reports.

v3.2.9

• v3.2.9 patch notes - Buff mods (.field.json targeting buffinfo) finally apply. NoCooldownForALLItems, Double Resource Buff, etc. If you tried one on an older build, run Settings > Fix Everything before re-applying because the old code was silently corrupting unrelated bytes. - New yellow SKIPPED badge on the mod card. When a game patch drifts a mod's bytes, the card shows the dropped patch count and a tooltip naming each affected file. Right-click > Reimport from source clears it. - Click-to-Update on Format 3 mods no longer creates duplicate cards. - Three texture mods touching the same file no longer hang the loading screen (a v3.2.8 regression). - Barber Unlocked and similar OG_ XML mods apply now. - "Vanilla backup missing" warning stops looping after Settings > Fix Everything. - Revert to Vanilla no longer freezes around 90% on installs with many archives. - Xbox installs at custom paths launch correctly through the mod manager.

v3.2.8.1

• CDUMM v3.2.8 + v3.2.8.1 combined changelog - --- - Major fixes for game patch 1.05.00 / 1.05.01 - - Apply no longer stalls 3 minutes on large mods like P3rdpc V3.5 (130MB / 97k deltas). The overlay dedup phase was re-parsing PAMTs on every entry-group lookup;
• now cached across three call - sites (_get_vanilla_entry_content, _extract_sibling_entry, _find_entry_at_offset). Fixes 61. - - Post-apply "PAMT hash mismatch" warnings (0009, 0015) on mods that ship complete PAMTs are gone. Three stage_file paths weren't tracking PAMT bytes;
• now consolidated through one helper. - - Format 3 vanilla extraction errors now log the underlying cause instead of a misleading "file may not exist". Helps diagnose 62. - Multi-mod compatibility - - Two mods that both ship a brand-new numbered directory (0036/0.paz) now coexist. Standalone-mod detection no longer skips truly-new dirs, so SwapButcherWithBarber + Character Creator Female - both apply at once. Fixes 59. - - Load-order priority changes take effect immediately on next Apply. Apply fingerprint now hashes priority + custom_values + conflict_mode + force_inplace. - - Two mods on the same non-pabgb entry now byte-merge instead of last-wins. Sequencer .paseq + NPC interaction defs that JMM merged but CDUMM dropped now coexist. - - DropSet entries with tagged-extras (Friendly_Talk friendship gain, abyss-gear pet friendship) apply correctly. Fixes 58. - Click-To-Update (v3.2.8.1) - - Click-To-Update on multi-variant mods (NPC Trust Gain, Character Creator) now actually bumps mods.version and busts the apply fingerprint. Before, the red pill stayed red after a successful - re-import and the next Apply silently fast-pathed "Already up to date". - - Re-import invalidates the apply fingerprint via centralized invalidate_apply_fingerprint(game_dir) from both the variant in-process path and the regular worker post-import path. - Quality of life - - New CLI subcommand cdumm launch-game for handheld setups (Steam Deck, ROG Ally) — applies enabled mods then launches Crimson Desert in one shot. Fail-fast on apply error. Fixes 63. - - "Apply failed" errors include the missing file path instead of bare "[WinError 2]". v3.2.8.1 also fixes the PAPGT raise that was still showing (unknown path). Fixes 65. - - Mods with corrupt entry deltas now surface a clear "re-import the mod" warning instead of silently producing zero in-game effect (Barber Unlocked-style failures). - - Imports stage extraction under game_dir/CDMods/_import_staging/ so large voice/texture mods don't fail with WinError 112 when C:/ is full but the game drive has space. - - Revert no longer fails with "no backup found" on files that are already vanilla on disk after a game patch added a new PAZ group like 0042. RevertWorker now mirrors ApplyWorker's - snapshot-hash-verified-live fallback. Fixes 67. - - Startup logs now have breadcrumbs around schema load, fingerprint backfill, and window construction so launch-hang reports are diagnosable. - Reporters - GitHub: kori228 ( 58), DoRoon ( 59), DarthGigi ( 60), Loe-Aner ( 61), UnLuckyLust ( 62), AwkwardOrpheus ( 63), tbyk101 ( 65), Doleun ( 67). - Nexus: michael2k, timelesscjing, Jyoungy13, Torie1985, Robhood19, unqltango, AestheticAdvocate, DerBambusbjoern, torukMakto12, Doleun, gabagoolboi47, Pr0nt.

v3.2.7

• v3.2.7 - NEW - - Plain-XML drop format: gamepad / UI XML mods that ship raw .xml files in a folder now import (RockNBeard's Standard Gamepad Layout is the test case) - FIXED - - The "1 mod was dropped" warning now names the actual dropped mod instead of showing "mod 0" (DerBambusbjoern report) - - Mod cards no longer crash on language or override badges - - Mixed ZIPs (.asi + PAZ) now actually install the .asi half - - OG_ XML mods now create a real mod row instead of an orphan delta - - JSON inline value editing now stores edits at the correct patch index - - modinfo conflict_mode and target_language are normalised - - fix_xml_format is idempotent - - Six other robustness fixes from a 4-round audit

v3.2.6

• v3.2.6 - Format 3 list-of-dict writers, ASI/variant fixes, apply diagnostics - Format 3 list-of-dict writers (three tables now apply): - NattKh-style Format 3 mods that target variable-length list fields now apply where they previously skipped at validation time. - - dropsetinfo.drops: drop-table mods like the 5x drops + bags + bandits + bleed pack, kori228's 100% drop rate v6, and similar. Verified end-to-end against the 695-intent kori228 mod (all 695 apply, 0 mismatches). - - iteminfo list fields: enchant_data_list, equip_passive_skill_list, occupied_equip_slot_data_list, sealable_*_list, - transmutation_material_*_list, item_icon_list, and 12 others. Powered by NattKh's bundled crimson_rs Rust extension (MPL-2.0). - - skill list fields: _useResourceStatList, _buffLevelList. Powered by NattKh's bundled skillinfo_parser (MPL-2.0). - Multiple Format 3 mods on the same target now compose correctly (priority-ordered, lowest priority number wins on collisions). Mixed primitive + list intents on the same iteminfo record now both land instead of the primitive being silently dropped. - Apply pipeline fixes: - - allow_partial_apply flag honored at apply-time, not just at import. Mods like "No Cooldown for All Items" with the opt-in flag now keep applying their valid changes when the game patched some matching values out from under them. - - Apply warning now names the specific JSON mods that produced no game changes plus the target files, instead of a generic count. You can finally tell which mod is broken. - Character Creator import (3 sub-bugs): - - Picker labels disambiguate when JSONs share a "name" field. The Character Creator zip ships six FemaleAnimations.json /MaleAnimations.json files under different race folders that all carried the same internal name;
• the picker rendered six identical rows. Now the parent folder appears in parens. - - Variant filenames disambiguate on disk so multiple variants with the same basename don't overwrite each other. The cog panel can actually toggle between them now. - - Mixed zips with .asi alongside JSON variants install both. The variant import path used to drop the ASI silently. - ASI plugins: - - Updating a disabled ASI plugin no longer creates a duplicate entry in the list. The new payload also lands disabled (preserving the user's "I turned this off" choice) instead of silently re-enabling. - Diagnostics: - - Bug report no longer shows the misleading "vanilla_backup=no" for JSON mount-time mods. Those rows now show "vanilla_backup=n/a (mount-time)" so triage can tell the field doesn't apply, instead of assuming a missing backup. - - New --worker self_check subcommand reports vendored extension load status. Used to smoke-test releases. - Credits: - Thanks to kori228, ZapZockt, UnLuckyLust, timuela, Robhood19, the original GitHub 41 reporter, and everyone who sent bug reports. Issues 41, 49, 55, 56 addressed by this release. - Note for users: - Drop CDUMM3.exe into your existing CDUMM folder (replacing the old exe). Your DB, mods, and snapshot are unaffected. If a mod you couldn't apply before is one of the supported tables (dropsetinfo, iteminfo, skill), drop the same mod again and it should now apply. - If Windows Defender flags the exe as Wacatac.B!ml, that's a known PyInstaller false positive. Restore from quarantine and add an exclusion, or report it to Microsoft via the WDSI false-positive form.

v3.2.5

• What you gain in v3.2.5 - Multi-file mods no longer reject the whole mod when one file is incompatible. Mods like Faster NPC Animations (Instant) ship hundreds of patch files at once. Before, if even ONE of those files had byte offsets that didn't match the current game, CDUMM rejected the entire mod, even if the other 115 files were perfectly fine. Now CDUMM applies the working files and shows a clear yellow banner listing which specific files were skipped. Faster NPC Animations applies 113 of 116 files now (was: 0). - Mods that worked elsewhere but failed here with "byte patches don't match" now apply. Some mods ship a leftover signature header in their JSON that's stale, meaning the offsets are absolute but the signature points at a wrong spot. CDUMM was trusting the signature blindly. Now it detects this case (signature-relative produces zero matches but absolute would work) and falls back to absolute offsets. Max Inventory Storage v1.04.02: 10 of 10 patches apply now (was: 0 of 9). Thanks to ecbrown777 and jeffersonalves71. - NattKh-style mods with multi-word field names now apply. - Mods exported from CrimsonGameMods using snake-case field names like gimmick_info or item_charge_type were silently rejected because the engine schema uses camelCase (_gimmickInfo, - _itemChargeType). CDUMM now bridges both case styles. Plus a typo fix in the schema (_isDestoryWhenBroken to _isDestroyWhenBroken) that was blocking the Infinite Durability mod. Thanks to Matrixz and Lichtnocht. - CDUMM no longer fails to start if a previous launch crashed without cleanup. "Logo flash for 2 seconds, then nothing" after a crashed previous run is fixed. CDUMM now reads the PID stored in the lock file. If that process is dead, it clears the stale lock and acquires fresh. Thanks to Sshuvzz. - Reimporting a Format 3 mod no longer fails with "file is being used by another process". CDUMM was trying to copy the mod's JSON onto itself during Reimport (the source path pointed at CDUMM's own copy in the mods folder). Windows refused that with WinError 32 if anything held the file. Now CDUMM detects same-source and skips the unnecessary copy. Thanks to Matrixz. - Field-name mods with nested or list values get a clear "coming in v3.3" message. Some NattKh exports include intents like enchant_data_list = [{...}] or docking_child_data.gimmick_info_key. Those need writer-side support that lands in v3.3. CDUMM now says exactly that instead of the misleading "add a field_schema entry". Other intents in the same mod still apply normally. Thanks to UnLuckyLust. - A mod with malformed signature, malformed field name, or malformed hex no longer takes down the apply. - Three separate hardening passes: malformed signature is treated as no-signature, malformed patched / original hex skips just that change, missing or null field name in a Format 3 intent skips just that intent. In every case, the rest of the mod still applies. - Bug Report stops showing fake "missing key" errors for normal byte-patch mods. The diagnostic was flagging every change in a classic byte-offset JSON mod as "ISSUE: missing 'entry' key", but that key is optional (only used by the newer entry-anchored format). Now only flags changes that genuinely have nowhere to write to. Thanks to lycusz and jscrump1278. - Heads up - Format 3 mod failed in v3.2.3 / v3.2.4 with "could not extract" or "no field_schema entry"? Update to v3.2.5, then right-click the mod, choose Reimport from source, then Apply. Most cases (snake_case names, schema typo, primitive fields) now resolve. - Multi-file byte-patch mod rejected before? Try v3.2.5. Most will import partially with a clear yellow banner naming the skipped files. - Mod author shipping dropsetinfo.pabgb, skill data, or list-of-dicts fields (like enchant_data_list)? Still v3.3 territory. Those need writer-side work and won't apply yet, but CDUMM tells you exactly what's missing now.

v3.2.3

• What you gain in v3.2.3 - The big one: the new field-name JSON format (the kind that says "change cooltime to 0" instead of "change byte 1632 to 00 00 00 00") finally applies for the most common types of mods. v3.2.1 announced support and v3.2.2 made the import work, but no schemas shipped — so dropping one of these mods got you a clean error message and not much else. This release is the breakthrough: six game tables are now covered, including the two that 90% of these mods target. Plus a stack of quality fixes that make broken mods stop dragging healthy mods down with them. - THE HEADLINE - 1. Field-name JSON mods finally apply to your game. - Mod authors using the new format (cooltime, maxStackCount, dropRate instead of byte offsets) can target six game tables and CDUMM will write the changes correctly: - - Items — durability, stack size, drop rates, item flags, costs (covers most JSON mods on Nexus right now) - - Mounts and horses — speed, stamina, jump, "can call in safe zone", and other vehicle stats - - Terrain and zones — field info, stage info, region info - - Mount characters — the part of character data that mounts use - A mod targeting one of these tables that worked nowhere a week ago — NoCooldownForALLItems is the test case — now imports, applies, and works in your game. - 2. Why this matters going forward. - The new format survives game patches. When Pearl Abyss shifts bytes around in an update, byte-offset mods break and need every author to repush. Field-name mods just keep working — the field's meaning didn't change, only its location, and CDUMM tracks the location for you. - What's not covered yet: skill data, NPC info, item pool drops, and a handful of other tables. Mods targeting those still get a clean "no schema for this table yet" message naming exactly which schema is missing — the goal is for community contributions to fill those in over time. - WHAT ELSE IS BETTER - 3. One broken mod can't kill your whole loadout anymore. - A single mod with a corrupt change used to abort the entire Apply — every other mod skipped, every patch undone. Now CDUMM skips just the broken change, tells you which mod and which entry was wrong, and applies the rest cleanly. Thanks to ZirconX1 on Nexus. - 4. Multi-version mod packs let you pick which version you want. - Mods like CrimsonWings ship five strength levels (10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, infinite) as five files in one zip. Drop the zip, pick a level, done. Thanks to gleglezao on Nexus. - 5. Uninstalling an ASI mod cleans up properly. - Companion files used to get left behind in your game folder if their names didn't match the .asi exactly. They're tracked at install now and removed cleanly on uninstall. Shared loader files (winmm.dll etc.) are intentionally left alone. Thanks to enowai on Nexus. - 6. RAR mods import even if 7-Zip is in an unusual place. - Scoop, NanaZip, portable copies, custom paths — all detected via the Windows registry now, not just the standard Program Files location. Thanks to femdogga on Nexus. - 7. Multi-language mod packs install correctly. - Mods that ship one zip per language inside a parent zip used to fail with "no recognized format". They unpack automatically now. Thanks to femdogga on Nexus. - 8. Updates land on the right card. - Clicking "Mod Manager Download" to update a renamed mod no longer creates a duplicate card next to the old one. - 9. No more confusing "crash" log when you close CDUMM normally. - Closing the app the usual way was leaving behind a crash-pre-qt.log file every time, even when nothing actually crashed. Real crashes still get logged. - 10. The configuration gear only shows up when there's a real choice to make. - Mods with nothing to configure no longer display an empty cog when you click it. Variant pickers and preset choices still get the gear as before. - WHAT MOD AUTHORS GET - 11. A new "apply what fits, skip what doesn't" flag. - A mod that's mostly compatible — only a handful of values drifted in a recent game patch — can now ship "allow_partial_apply": true at the top of its JSON. CDUMM applies the verified changes, skips the mismatched ones with a clear log, and tells the user. Without the flag, mismatches still reject so a half-broken mod can't crash your game silently. Thanks to XxDman10311xX on Nexus (Refinement Cost Reforged). - HEADS UP - - Did a Format 3 mod fail before? Try reimporting it. If it targets one of the six covered tables, it'll work now. - - Refinement Cost Reforged or another "almost works" mod? Ask the author to add the new flag and republish. - - Old ASI uninstalls left orphan files in your game folder? Delete them once manually. Future uninstalls are clean. - - Existing v2 byte-offset JSON mods are unaffected. Everything you have keeps working as-is.

v3.2

• v3.2 — 2026-04-25 - NexusMods is now built in. Sign in once and CDUMM keeps an eye on every mod you have installed. When an author pushes an update you see a red badge on the card. Click "Mod Manager Download" on a Nexus page and it lands straight in CDUMM. This is the headline feature. - One-click sign-in to Nexus. Open Settings, hit "Login with Nexus", browser pops up, you confirm it is you, done. No API keys to copy and paste. CDUMM never sees your password. - CDUMM tells you when your mods need updating. Every 30 minutes CDUMM quietly checks Nexus for new versions of the mods you have installed. Outdated mods get a bright red "Click To Update" badge. Up-to-date mods get a quiet green check. - Download from Nexus with one click. On any mod's Nexus page, the "Mod Manager Download" button now sends the file straight to CDUMM. Premium members get one-click imports;
• free members get sent to the right Files tab. - Game updates can't break your day anymore. Steam patches Crimson Desert overnight, your mods don't work in the morning? CDUMM now catches that on launch and offers a Start Recovery button. One click runs the whole repair: verify your game files, regenerate every mod, reapply them. Live progress bar. Cancel any time. - Apply is way faster. Two engine rewrites: conflict detection is near-instant on big mod sets, and merging mod changes runs hundreds of times faster. Files that took minutes now take seconds. Real progress bar — no more frozen 95% mystery. - Cleaner Settings page. Login is the recommended flow now and it leads. Manual API key paste is still there for power users, tucked behind an Advanced toggle. - Mods stop multiplying during Recovery. Some mods ship multiple presets in one archive (Glider Stamina with 5 options, Infinite Horse with 9). Recovery used to clone each preset into its own card. One mod is one mod again. - No more black command-prompt windows flashing while CDUMM is working. - No more false "corrupt PAMT" warning popping up after every Apply when nothing was wrong (rolled in from the unreleased v3.1.7.2 hotfix). - Recovery doesn't false-alarm. A bug was making the Recovery banner appear on every launch right after a successful Apply. Fixed. - Cleaner error messages. When a mod fails you see which mod failed instead of a generic placeholder. - ASI plugin polish. Uninstalling cleans up sidecar files. If an author renames their .asi between versions, CDUMM removes the old one. Outdated badge clears the moment you update a plugin.

v3.1.5

• v3.1.7 — 2026-04-24 - 1. Apply is now locked when CDUMM detects Crimson Desert has been updated but you haven't rescanned yet. Applying mods on a stale baseline is what caused most of the recent "stuck at 2%" reports — - patches land on the wrong bytes and mods silently fail. You'll see a clear banner telling you to run Rescan Game Files;
• once the rescan finishes, Apply unlocks automatically. - 2. If your game is installed under Program Files, CDUMM now shows a persistent warning banner every session instead of a one-time dialog you'd forget about. Windows restricts writes under Program - Files, which causes silent mod failures. Move your Steam library to a different drive (e.g. D:SteamLibrary) to resolve it permanently. - 3. Rescan Game Files now refuses to run when the live game files don't match your vanilla backups. Before this, if the disk was modded (from a stale backup, a silent Steam patch, etc.), rescan - would happily hash the modded bytes as "vanilla" — and every future Revert would restore the wrong state forever. CDUMM now detects the mismatch, blocks the rescan, and tells you exactly what to - do (Revert first, or Steam Verify then Fix Everything with the verified option). - 4. Fix Everything no longer overwrites a just-verified game. When you pick the "Steam verified" option, the revert step is now skipped — your clean Steam-repaired files stay untouched, vanilla - backups are wiped, and a fresh snapshot captures the real game state. Before this fix, Fix Everything's revert would paste stale pre-update backups over Steam's freshly downloaded files, which is - why "40 files reacquired" kept coming back every time. - 5. Right-click a mod (or multi-select several) and pick "Reimport from source" to regenerate patches against the current game without re-dragging each zip. After a Steam update this is the fastest - way to unstick every mod that silently stopped working. The mod's priority, notes, enabled state, and everything else you set on it are preserved. - 6. Fixed the Post-Apply Verification dialog falsely reporting dozens of mods as "imported on a different game version". Two bugs rolled together: (1) the version fingerprint used to change every - apply/revert cycle (now stable, based only on Steam build ID + game exe);
• (2) mods kept the fingerprint from their import moment and were never re-stamped even after working on a newer game - version. Successful apply now stamps every enabled mod with the current game version, so the "outdated" signal self-heals after a Steam patch if your mods still work. Existing installs are - auto-migrated on first launch. - 7. CDUMM no longer gets stuck when a mod's files are damaged. If a mod archive is corrupt or the apply step stops making progress, CDUMM now stops the operation and tells you which mod caused it - instead of sitting frozen on a progress bar. - 8. The vanilla-backup step shows per-file progress now, so the progress bar actually moves through that phase instead of sitting at 2% for the whole run. - 9. Importing a mod now checks the mod's internal index files up front. A damaged archive gets rejected at import time with a clear message instead of silently failing every time you try to apply. - 10. Folder imports that contain both mesh/texture data and sibling .json files (e.g. Character Creator preset folders with an extra animations JSON inside) now import BOTH parts instead of only - the .json. Thanks to kori228 on GitHub for the report. - 11. Compatibility improvements for mod packaging. - 12. Improved handling of edge case files in mods.

v3.1.4

• CDUMM v3.1.4 patch notes: - --- - ReShade management (new) - - Install detection — new ReShade sidebar page detects whether ReShade is installed next to CrimsonDesert.exe. Distinguishes ReShade vs ReShade + Add-on Support, flags installed addons (RenoDX, - etc.). - - Preset picker — activate, revert last switch, import preset from disk, soft-hide presets from the list. Blocks activation while the game is running so ReShade doesn't overwrite your change on - exit. - - Preset merging — pick a main preset and layer pieces from another. Categorised UI (New / Existing / Advanced), collapsible groups, Select-all per category, tick preservation across "Include - advanced" rebuilds. - New - - Right-click → Open source files on any mod card opens its source folder in Explorer. - - Linux support via Wine (beta — needs more testing). Bundled launcher scripts/cdumm-linux.sh + LINUX.md install guide. Smoke-tested on Ubuntu 24.04 / Wine 11.0 / vcrun2022 + corefonts. Launcher - provisions a dedicated prefix on first run or delegates to protontricks-launch for Steam Deck / Bazzite users. Please report what works and what doesn't. - - Settings → Game → Manage ASI loader (winmm.dll) toggle. Default on. Turn off if OptiScaler or another tool ships its own winmm proxy so CDUMM stops overwriting it. - Fixes - - Packed JSON mod regression. v3.1.3 could silently drop zip-imported JSON mods when the cross-mod aggregator couldn't cover them. The ENTR delta is now kept as a fallback so the mod applies - either way. - - Crimson Browser Tex/ directory dropped. CrimsonForge-generated mesh mods (e.g. Berserk Dragon Slayer) ship textures in a sibling Tex/ dir outside files/. Previously silently ignored — mesh - imported but textures were wrong. Handler now scans sibling tex / textures / texture dirs. - - OptiScaler conflict. CDUMM's auto winmm install no longer overwrites OptiScaler's bundled loader when the new toggle above is off. - - Config panel indicator clipped on narrow windows. Checkbox moved left of label so it stays visible regardless of panel width. - - ReShade merge dialog polish. Scroll-area overflow, background bleed, category headers, Select-all button, tick preservation across toggle rebuilds. - - 15-second ReShade page startup hang on installs with huge bin64/ subdirectories. Flat-scan preset enumeration + name-only process detection (10–200× faster). - - ReShade audit findings. Atomic preset writes, subfolder preset support, relative BasePath resolution, Windows-safe hidden state, INI key casing preserved. - - README clarifies "every platform" means every store (Steam / Epic / Xbox), not every OS. macOS isn't supported natively. - Credits - - Airanath — Nexus walkthrough that seeded the Linux-via-Wine integration. - - Bug reports and repros that drove fixes this cycle: SirFapZalot, UNIVERSE69, Axlred (also Axl21 on Nexus), vanishdark, DarthGigi, deadriver35, LeoBodnar, Basstanck, kori228, HoBio22, - fleshtorturex. Thanks — CDUMM gets better because you take the time to file these. - --- - Also live at https://github.com/faisalkindi/CrimsonDesert-UltimateModsManager/releases/tag/v3.1.4 Version 3 - v0.6.0 — Stability & Revert Overhaul - New - - Importing .bat mods now restores game files to vanilla first, captures the delta against clean files, then re-applies all enabled mods automatically. Deltas are always vanilla-relative, so - toggling mods on/off works correctly every time. - - Snapshot now covers directories 0000-0099 (was 0000-0032), supporting game patches that add new directories like 0036. - - Import handler checks if files exist in the game directory before marking them as mod-added, preventing vanilla files from being incorrectly deleted on revert. - Fixed - - Disabling a mod no longer leaves its changes in the game files. Revert now always starts from full vanilla backup. - - Fixed "incorrect magic bsdiff4 header" crash on Apply. PAPGT is now rebuilt from scratch instead of composed from incompatible bsdiff deltas. - - Fixed crash when applying deltas with unrecognized formats (raw file copies now handled gracefully). - - Fixed silent crash on mod import in frozen executables (worker thread exceptions now caught and logged). - - Fixed "No recognized game files" error when importing mods that follow game naming conventions but aren't in the vanilla snapshot. - - Fixed mods targeting new directories (0036+) not working. PAPGT rebuild now adds new directory entries with proper string table extension and hash computation. - - Fixed bsdiff4 crashes on large files by falling back to sparse patches. - Improved - - Broader zip extraction error handling - - Per-file delta generation no longer aborts the entire import if one file fails - - New files tracked with is_new flag for proper revert behavior (delete vs restore) Version 2 - Changelog from initial release: - v0.5.1 — Bug Fixes & New Directory Support - New Features - - Support for mods that add entirely new game files (not just modify existing ones), stored as full copies with proper tracking - - Support for mods using new directories like 0036 that don't exist in the vanilla game - - PAPGT rebuild now adds new directory entries for mod-added directories, including proper string table extension and hash computation - Bug Fixes - - Fixed silent crash during mod import caused by unhandled exceptions in worker threads - - Added threading.excepthook to catch and log worker thread crashes in frozen executables - - Fixed bsdiff4 segfaults on large files by falling back to sparse patches on failure - - Broadened zip extraction error handling beyond just BadZipFile - - Per-file delta generation now wrapped in try/except so one bad file doesn't abort the entire import - Improvements - - Pattern-based file recognition for mods following game naming conventions, no longer requires exact vanilla snapshot match - - New files tracked with is_new flag in database to distinguish from modified files - - Revert correctly deletes mod-added files instead of trying to restore nonexistent vanilla backups
