when my XML management engine will be totally finished, it will be integrated to ModMan (7.x) in order to manage MEinit.xml changes during mod installation process.

 

ModMan 7.x release date is not planned but UPCOMING ModMan 6.0 will include this XML explorer window.

ModMan 6.0 will be released very soon (read below)

 

example of built-in feature included in ModMan 6.0

- Added in ADDON MAKER, a CFG/LUA management windows, ENJOY !

it allow to ADD/REPLACE/DELETE KEY from SECTION/SUBSECTION in .cfg or .lua files

useful when you need to add a new CDDS entry in \config\graphics.cfg

During Mod installation with ADDON MANAGER, these key will be added automatically (or removed)
