VV Updater and Paid Plugins

[Sic]

We were discussing this on discord last night - Is there any way we can get the updater to notify us what plugins were removed? like paid plugins that we need to look for and re-download an updated version? eqwire mq2berzerker etc

I got a few PMs tonight of people who's stuff wasn't working cause they forgot to redownload - and even happened to me with mq2eqwire.

Might be a nice way to remind us to go get them instead of being like "Zomg everything is broken"

(P.S. I have no idea what sort of work that would involve, and as I always say "ideas are cheap, work isn't" so disregard if not viable)

The updater should remove them each patch.

edit: misunderstood your question.

The updater is getting a rewrite to automatically update any macro / Plugin you watch, which includes paid versions. It's 2nd on the big idea todo list at the moment, after the tutorial video series.

I think he was looking for a pop up after the patcher runs where it's like.

[Notice!]
The following Plugins were removed:
    MQ2EQWire
    MQ2SlotColors
    MQ2BerZerker

Please be sure to download the updated copies of these plugins.
