SCPM (Sven Co-op Plugin Manager)

This is a pet project built entirely with the help of AI. As a result, illogical bugs or odd behavior may occur, despite the bold claims below :)

SCPM is a utility for the safe management of Sven Co-op plugin configurations (default_plugins.txt). It allows for easy toggling of plugins, configuration validation, and exporting only enabled entries.

The Problem

• Manual editing often leads to syntax errors or broken VDF structures.
• No native way to temporarily disable plugins without deleting lines.
• Difficult to switch between different configuration sets (e.g., Public vs. Test).

The Solution: Profiles

• User Profiles (JSON): Save plugin states and maintain drafts without affecting the game files.
• Default Profile: Linked directly to the game configuration file. It uses a "shadow" copy in memory—changes are only written to the disk when you click Save.

Key Features

• VDF Generation: Prevents syntax errors by strictly adhering to the Valve Data Format.
• Manual Path Selection: Easily select your Sven Co-op installation folder via Settings.
• Drag & Drop: Add plugins by dragging .as files from Windows Explorer.
• Target Switching: Switch between different target files (e.g., default_plugins.txt, skill_plugins.txt) with import or overwrite options.
• VDF Paste: Quick plugin creation by parsing VDF snippets from the clipboard.
• Enhanced Explorer: Right-click context menu for files (Open, Reveal, Copy Path, Properties).
• Validation: Checks for duplicates and verifies filenames.
• Automatic Backups: Creates a .bak copy of the target file upon every export (overwrites the previous backup).

Keyboard Shortcuts

• Ctrl+S: Save profile
• Ctrl+F: Search
• Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+R: Undo / Restore menu
