redfetch 1.5.0

Added​

• Background updates triggered on each launch of "Very Vanilla MQ", so you no longer have to see redfetch. Run MacroQuest directly. Credit: all the TUI haters

Changed​

• Navigation meshes now download by default instead of prompting. Opt out in settings. (PROTECTED_FILES_BY_RESOURCE still protects your custom meshes)

Fixed​

• pip/pipx in-app updates fixed on windows

Fixed​

• A rejected OAuth token will no longer assume you're level 1.

Added​

• A failed install will attempt to repair itself, rather than closing immediately.

Fixed​

• The update button wouldn't launch MQ if eqbcs.exe was running.

Changed​

• The update button once again doubles as a launch MQ button, even when no update occurs.

Added​

• redfetch run and redfetch open CLI commands act as shortcuts, for example redfetch run eqgame will start EQgame.exe, redfetch open eqhost will open the eqhost.txt file, etc. These mirror the TUI shortcuts.

Changed​

• You can now update while playing. Updates take effect the next time you start Very Vanilla MQ.

Added​

• New logic for restarting VVMQ after an update. redfetch will never touch EQ nor unload MQ.

Removed​

• The "Close MQ pre-update" setting and TUI toggle.

Added​

• --server on update and download: use a different server for one run.
• TUI: "Also start post-update" — launch EQBCS, MySEQ, or a custom program after a successful update. (#18)
• Staff picks: Ninjadvloot.inc is now on LIVE/TEST/EMU.

Changed​

• Config paths that contain eqgame.exe are allowed with a warning instead of being blocked outright. (#22)
• TUI: "Close MQ pre-update" and "Start MQ post-update" are now No / Ask / Yes toggles, so you can pick the prompt-each-time ("Ask") behavior from the UI instead of only on/off.
• Only settings you've actually changed are written to settings.local.toml, keeping the file tidy.

Fixed​

• Licensed resources will now download even if you have duplicates. (#24)
• Update checks notice when a resource's subfolder changes.
• Fixed "RecursionError" on startup by rolling back a dependency.

Added​

• Custom category directories: override where lua, macros, or plugins install via CATEGORY_PATHS in settings.local.toml.
• Clearer messages for users on why certain resources are skipped or blocked.

Changed​

• Rewrote the sync pipeline with separate discovery, planning, and execution stages.

Fixed​

• Fixed a crash when starting the RG web interface.

Fixed​

• Resources will re-download if you change their path.
