Features and improvements:

  • Added some options to control new mantling:
    • On the Patch & Customize tab, there is now a checkbox where you can force new mantling on, off, or default (leave it alone) per-FM.
    • Added a setting "Use old mantling for OldDark FMs", which does what it says. It can be overridden per-FM with the above-mentioned checkbox.
    • New mantling can also be overridden when playing without an FM, by opening the game settings (formerly game mods) dialog through the "Play without FM" area.
  • A small handful of OldDark FMs use custom palettes to achieve certain effects such as monochrome or sepia tone visuals. By default, NewDark does not apply these FMs' custom palettes correctly, causing for example some objects to be full color in an FM where everything is supposed to be monochrome. AngelLoader will now fix this issue automatically for FMs that need it.
  • Note that neither the mantle mode nor the palette fix are written into fm.cfg or stored permanently, they are simply passed as options to the game upon running. Adding these options manually to the FM's fm.cfg file is fine and will not break anything.
  • 7-Zip scans (which can take a substantial amount of time) now respond much quicker to a cancel request. Previously, cancellation could only occur between FMs in the scan, but now it can occur in the middle of a single FM's scan as well.
  • Date and rating filter windows now autosize horizontally to fit their title bar text and/or OK/Cancel button text (one less thing to worry about now for translators).

Fixes:

  • Fixed: in a multi-monitor scenario, when AngelLoader was not on the primary monitor, ComboBox dropdowns would be displayed completely detached from their parent control and on the primary screen somewhere.
  • Fixed regression: FMs list duplicate-culling code was not fully ignoring duplicate FMs, they might still end up being scanned (if they weren't before) and have their tags added to the global tags list. This scenario is unlikely and causes no serious problems, but there we go.
  • Fixed if the Settings window came up on startup and dark mode was enabled, the Language group box was drawn incorrectly.
  • The "Disable all" mods button now shows its tooltip on the original game settings windows as well.
  • When uninstalling FMs, there was a brief period where the UI would still be interactable when it shouldn't have been.
  • Scan All FMs window now says "Scan selected FMs" when only scanning selected, rather than "Scan all FMs".
