Interface

As of the alpha releases, there are likely bugs to be found. If you come across an issue please go here and read the instructions on how to post us an issue to help us out.

The Game Versions currently supported by the launcher are

  • The Walking Dead Telltale Definitive Series
  • Other

The Creator Dependencies are not required to use the application and don't have to be set.

Launcher Menu

This is the main menu for launching the currently selected game version. You can also swap the currently selected game version for another using the dropdown. In addition to that, it also notes how many mods you currently have installed.

If your game is not setup properly, these options will be greyed out and will require you to setup the game properly (this should have been configured in the Setup Wizard upon starting the application. However, you can also configure these options in the settings tab.)

Mod Manager Menu

This is the main menu for managing the mods for your selected game version.

The top caption in the window indicates what version you currently have selected.

The Mod List is the largest part of the Mod Manager menu, here you can view and manage your mods. You can also right-click on a mod to view/remove.

Below the Mod List contains functions for the Mod Manager from left to right.

  • Plus Icon is for adding mods (mod files are .zip files)
  • Minus Icon is for removing a mod (a mod must be selected in order for you to remove one)
  • Eye Icon is for viewing the contents/properties of the mod.
  • Trash Icon is for purging/removing all of the mods that are currently found in the directory. Clicking this will warn you if you wish to perform the action.

Double-clicking (or right-clicking) on a selected mod will bring up a "View Mod" window which reveals the contents and properties of the mod. In the View Mod window, you can also read .txt files by double-clicking (or right-clicking).
