Installs, updates and uninstalls are jobs run one after another in the order asked for: asking for
one while another runs queues it instead of being refused. A job waits while the mods are applied or
a session's map downloads, and works out what its mod needs when it starts, from the Mods folder as
it is then. Buttons say ADD TO QUEUE while a job runs and QUEUED once in line; the foot of the page
says how many wait, and CANCEL ALL empties the queue.
The carousel's middle card: the mod's picture as its backdrop, darkened, and big as a tipped sticker
beside the text; a FEATURED and INSTALLED / UPDATE AVAILABLE tag, the facts as chips, as much of the
description as fits above the buttons, and the buttons under the text with the pad's prompts beside
them.
A third ReSkate tab in the game's pause menu (native_menu.cpp slot 2, the Store's tab art), drawn by
the overlay as the other two are (mod_manager_page.inl, included into hub_page.cpp):
- BROWSE: search, categories in a panel of their own (shown only, hidden or either, kept in the
profile), sort, a featured carousel and rows (most popular, recently updated, new, the biggest
categories), a grid for results, and a mod's own page with its README, what it brings with it,
and INSTALL, switch on or off and uninstall. Works from a controller: the carousel's card is
one stop that left and right turn, and B goes back from a mod's page (the page's Back is held
meanwhile).
- MY MODS: the Mods folder with the states the ReSkate menu shows; UPDATES: Update all.
- The foot of the page shows the install's progress and the apply's, and Apply (View on a pad).
Leaving the menu with changes not applied asks first (a two-answer card in message_card.cpp,
answered by the runtime as the message is); LATER closes the menu.
Behind it, Extension/Assets/mod_store: Thunderstore's listing (cached on disk), the installed mods,
and a queue that downloads and installs packages with their dependencies, updates and uninstalls
them. An update or uninstall of a mod the game holds open waits in Mods/.reskate-pending and the
launcher makes it before the next start (launcher_mods::apply_pending). Package icons load into
their own SRV slots (store_icons.cpp), sharing the launcher's icon cache.
Tests: mod_store_view (search, categories, the front page's rows, install plans), the pending
updates and uninstalls in mod_manager_tests, and the third tab in native_menu_view_tests.
