[Tool] PoE Addon Launcher and Manager PAL {First Release}



Hi there, I'm Rizlim I created: https://github.com/Pastillage/PoE_Level_Buddy (Check the twitch URL in the readme if you don't believe me)

Anyhow, I'm proud to announce a project I've been working on for a little bit, namely, an Addon Manager and Launcher for Path of Exile!
https://github.com/POE-Addon-Launcher/PoE-Addon-Launcher/releases/tag/v1.2

Here's a video showcasing the base features: https://youtu.be/hR9b4XUZtNM

First things first, there will be bugs, this is the first time I'm releasing this to the public so I'm expecting it to not work for 50% of the people trying it, that's just how it is, that being said please report bugs either on this post, https://www.reddit.com/r/poeaddonlauncher, create an issue on github or just DM me somewhere on the internet.

Now let's get down to business.

What is working
+ Downloading and updating Addons
+ Downloading and updating Filters (Through Filterblast API)
+ Launching Addons when you want to launch PoE
+ Launching Addons from the installed tab
+ Adding your own addons (Through repositories)

What is planned?
+ Better way to add Addons and Filters
+ Add your own Repositories/APIs
+ In-game overlay for using website based tools (i.e. Vorici Calc)
+ In-game overlay version of PoE Level Buddy (yes, I'm reviving it)
+ Downloading and updating user generated Soundpacks
+ Probably a dedicated server rather than letting github do everything.

Now that we've had that, how do I install / use it? I've created a video just for that!
Watch it here: https://youtu.be/hR9b4XUZtNM

Where can I download it?

Why should I trust you to not install some weird viruses / hid some bitcoin miner?

The code is fully open-source so have a look for yourself, I also hope that having made POE Level Buddy at least gives me some credibility.

Ok, then maybe I can trust you then what about any random addon tool maker that can just add viruses / bitcoin miners / ransomware / whatever.

I will ofcourse not just let anyone upload anything they like, I'm only adding tools that are proven to be legit and working.

What if they add some bad software post-release?

I ofcourse can't guarantee what anyone does with their programs, all I can do is remove the software from our listings, as with everything on the internet, don't just download everything make some effort to understand what you are downloading and what it could do.


Will you allow closed-source addons in PAL?
Right now I will not allow closed-source software in the Official Repositories, once I've released custom repositories as a feature, users could make their own repository with their closed software. So, the only way to get closed software through PAL will be through adding your own repository.
