Allow install of mods on offline machines #259

Open Mikaz-fr opened 2 weeks ago

Mikaz-fr commented 2 weeks ago

With https://github.com/ramensoftware/windhawk/issues/234 an offline installer was provided, allowing offline machines to use Windhawk. But I can't find any information or ways to install mods offline. The mods repository do not allow to download the mods and the program do not allow to load from disk it seems.

Is there any way to install mods to an offline machine other than creating new ones locally on the machine ? Copy pasting sources and re-create the mods locally is working fine but is not so intuitive.

No, currently that's the easiest way. I'm not sure how often such offline mod installation is needed for users, but it's a valid suggestion, I'll consider it for one of the future versions.

Thanks for the answer, I agree I'm not sure it's a very common use case. I guess people can thumb-up this issue if they need it instead of opening a new one.

As said the workaround of creating new mods locally is working fine, so it's not blocking either. Maybe a cheap solution would be to add a button on the Mods website to copy the whole content of the mod. This would make it simpler than the current version of the website.

For now, it's probably easier to go to the changelog, click on the desired version date to open the code on GitHub, and copy/download it from there. It has more convenient copy controls, and it's also allows to install any version.
