Nice! Looking good.

Is this just a translation?

The program itself is not just about applying translations, this is just one of its functions.

Yesterday I was planning and programming a Python tool to manage mods too, starting from V4.01b first. but looks like it already exists

Gj Daniel! Brazil power

Thanks man. It would be nice if you programmed a mod manager in Pyton.
My tool was programmed in Batch Script and therefore has a limited interface. In other programming languages ​​it would be possible to create a much more beautiful mod manager.

This is such a cool tool and concept! I just want to criticize one thing: the choice of scripting language for creating the tool. Consider rewriting the tool using the Lua language and its LFS (LuaFileSystem) library. Lua is small, easy to understand (more than JavaScript), easy to distribute, perfect for modularity, which is something that will make all the difference as your project grows and for allowing contributions from users who are not skilled developers

Also a small thing that crossed my mind: you have a 32 and 64-bit release, but you could make a single file with both like this:
1. rename the 32-bit cecho.exe to cecho32.exe,  rename the 64-bit cecho.exe to cecho64.exe
2. create cecho.bat and make it detect if the system is 32 or 64: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12322308/batch-file-to-check-64bit-or-32bit-os

then redirect the received parameters to the appropriate 32 or 64-bit cecho executable

Oracle, thank you very much for the feedback. I did some tests, the mechanics of detecting systems worked well. This will make it easier to launch the next GMS versions :-).

Regarding rewriting GMS in another language, I'm not sure if I will do that, as SpideyKeiiti will create a mod manager in Python that will replace my manager programmed in Batch Script. For now we will use my mod manager with limited interface, which despite having this disadvantage is the only advanced tool available to install mods.

I replaced Python with Lua a long time ago and I dont regret. Python is not small in size and not easy to deploy together with the scripts and it lacks the simplicity of Lua. Still, any scripting language is better than batch

New GMS release (31/08/20):

* Added support for mod Streets of Gotham.
* Improvements and fixes in many scripts.
* Improved system to install/uninstall chars. All chars scripts have been defaulted.
* Window size has been fixed in all mod sections.
* Now the program has only one version that works for 32bits and 64bits systems.

Well, I'm doing it for V4 first because I always wanted to do that personally. About Python being not easy to deploy... I'm hoping too much to not get problems converting all the .py files into a .exe using PyInstaller, and I choose this language because it's my job lang and for me it is easier than Java.

I already did some backend functions, not hard because the mod is based in moving files, but I'm still learning how to make a GUI for it.

For now, V4 program will focus in move and replace files using a GUI instead of drag file here, there... it is simple.

Just saw this today and remembered GMS https://github.com/tboox/ltui/wiki/LTUI-v2.2-released,-A-cross-platform-terminal-ui-library-based-on-Lua

Not gonna lie,this is interesting stuff.

Oracle, thanks for the suggestion.
Recently I am studying some programming languages, maybe I will practice the content learned in a new version of GMS.

Is it possible to download these locations what's in the screenshots? Looks very nice!

Puzirkov, yes, is possible. Open GMS, acess the downloads section and chose "mod translates". A GDrive folder will open in your browser, in this folder you can find these mods.

I used to be able to download many of the mods that were posted there, but now they wrote to me in the browser that their user added to the basket. Is it possible to check? By the way, I am extremely glad that they contributed to Maz. I want to enjoy it to the fullest)

Puzir, I checked the translated mods folder and the downloads work correctly, I didn't find mods in the trash folder.
If you referred to the first download option (Level mods 1) I don't know if all mods are possible to download because the folder link is from davpreec.

Here is the link for the two translated mods: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1aqt1NWZSpevHygZ_7l-ieMzB7pe2IaqD?usp=sharing
