Rival Engine v2025.7.0 — Cross-Platform + Manifest Support
This release delivers an operational, file-based mod manager for Windows and macOS, plus a mobile PWA companion. It also adds manifest-aware installs for clean, predictable file placement.
What’s new
- Cross-platform desktop app (Windows + macOS)
- Manifest support (
mod.json) for explicit file mapping - Operational ZIP install: copies into bound game directory
- Automatic backups before overwrite, with one-click restore
- Safe extraction (blocks path traversal; ignores docs)
- PWA companion for mobile (manage/pair; not for applying mods)

Using mod.json
Place amod.json at the ZIP root to map files:
JSON:
{
"name": "Cinematic Pack",
"version": "1.0.0",
"maps": {
"Paks/Mod_Cine_P.pak": "BlackMythWukong/Content/Paks/~mods/Mod_Cine_P.pak",
"reshade.ini": "reshade.ini"
}
}• Values = relative paths under the bound game directory.
• Non-mapped files fall back to folder-relative placement.
