A gift exclusive for you!

Hello, everyone!

As some of you may have already noticed, Tapas support has been removed from the public release due to legal reasons, which I discussed at length in a previous post (you can find it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/important-update-125632736 ).

However, since Tapas support was already integrated in earlier nightly builds, I’ve decided to move it into an external script and to share it exclusively with you, my amazing Patreon supporters, as a token of my gratitude for your ongoing encouragement and support for the program 😁

A quick but crucial note: this is a one-time sharing of the script. I just moved it from the old nightly build to an external file — nothing more, nothing less. Please don’t expect any future updates or assistance from me regarding the script. As mentioned in my earlier post, I want to maintain a clear distance from any official websites of this type 😅 But for those who are truly interested, I’ve also included the script’s source code in the package. This should provide a solid foundation if you want to update it or create your own version in the future 👍

Lastly, I kindly ask—actually, I beg!—please don’t share this script online or use it beyond your personal use. I’m putting my trust in you all, so please don’t make me regret this decision 😅 Anyway, always keep in mind that I have the ability to completely lock out a website from the program, and I will do so if I discover that this script has been shared elsewhere.

P.S.: you can find the tutorial on how to create external scripts (or simply how to use them within the program) on my official website here: https://redsquirrel87.com/manga-downloader-external-scripts-tutorial. In this case, you can skip directly to step 3, where you'll find detailed instructions on how to use the script, which you can download from this post (I’ve already inserted in the package the .bat and .sh launchers as well, so you can skip that section of the tutorial too).

IMPORTANT UPDATE (May 04, 2025):

To run the script directly, you need to have JDK v24 or higher installed, as that’s the version I used to compile the JAR executable.
However, if you want to use an older version of the JDK for any reason, you'll just need to recompile it yourself (the source code is included in the package) 👍
Big thanks to FakeTurtle for pointing this out!
