The Amnesia Modloader is an application which simplifies the process of launching Amnesia mods. No longer will you need to use any AppleScript or .command files to start a mod. It will list all the full conversion mods you have installed, place them in an intuitive table, allow you to see additional information about them, and launch one just by selecting it. Easy peasy!
You can read the full page at my website, or the Frictional Games forum or on Steam Community.

You can check out this video to get a better impression of how it works (Windows version):
The Modloader will list information from the selected mod in the panel on the right if the mod creator has made it available. This includes an Author field, a Description field, and a Minimum game version required. The latter is there to tell you if the mod requires a certain version of the game to run, for example Justine (1.2) or AMFP support (1.3). The name of the mod will display regardless, because it is fetched from an existing location within the mod, so even if the mod was not made to explicitly support this Modloader, it will still work fine.
Requirements
Here are the specifications for using this application:
- Mac OS X 10.6.5 or later (I haven't tested versions other than 10.8.5)
- Amnesia - The Dark Descent
- Whatever mods you wish to play
If you have any issues, give me a caller. The best way to contact me is probably through the FG forum. Otherwise you can catch me at Twitter.com or Youtube.com.
Information for Developers
If you are currently creating a mod for Amnesia, I would love if you added extra support for my Modloader!
You can do this by adding 2 additional files to your mod's config folder.
The first is a config file named modloader.cfg and should contain this information:
Author = Your Name
IconFile = icon.png
Description = Your Description
MinVersion = 1.2
The other file is the icon.png file. You can edit the name and extension in the config, but it must be PNG, JPG or GIF. The resolution is determined by the launcher preferences, but 64x64 is recommended.
Compose tips:
You can use \n for line breaks in your description.
You can use \t for tabbing.
For more information on how to operate this application, create support for it yourself, see the changelog or join in development of it, check my other pages that are more up-to-date. I recently created the Steam page, which has a lot of information available. Click here.
Hope you enjoy using my Modloader <3
