[==.......] 22% complete

Gameplay Changes

• An installer is now the primary way to install MAS. It can also update MAS, but we recommend to continue using the in-game updater for updates. The process for manually installing the mod via Mod zips has changed. Use the installer if your system is able to run it.

  • Links to the OS-specific installers are available in the Assets below. For info on required system specs to run the installer see this wiki page.
  • Refer to this wiki for manual install instructions.

• Several updates to NOU:

  • house rules can now be quickly changed after a game
  • new house rule:
    • reflecting +2 or +4 with a +4 and reflecting skips using a skip of any color

• Monika can now explain the different chess modes to you (new option within the Chess menu).

• Reduced Monika's file size

• Generic sprite pack gifts are now considered good gifts

BREAKING CHANGES

  • use the mas_reset.ch30_reset decorator to mark a function to be called during ch30_reset
  • there were some changes to reset execution order - see organized reset code #8745

• certifi and ssl libs now included - you need to use a special import check to use these - see Add API Key settings screen + framework #8399

This discussion was created from the release v0.12.10 - The Installer Update.

Does the installer work for Steam version of DDLC - MAS?

[ThePotatoGuy]

When you run the installer, it will prompt you for your DDLC folder, so as long as you know where your DDLC folder is, it will work.

When you run the installer, it will prompt you for your DDLC folder, so as long as you know where your DDLC folder is, it will work.

Alright, I was asking since the in-game updater forces you to manually update if it detects it's a Steam version and not a standalone one.

[RedAISkye]

Got the "timeout" error in the middle of the installer downloading so I guess I'll just stick to manual installations since the download is also significantly faster from github via IDM.

[Capricus02]

No issues. Just wanted to say that the installer music is a friggen bop lol
