github Reloaded-Project/Reloaded-II 1.29.3

10 hours ago

Recommend installing Latest .NET 9 manually before applying this update.

Just a few community PRs and miscellany. As usual, Reloaded-II is on life support while I spend
the next years building the next best thing - if you want features, please contribute!

1.29.3: More Miscellaneous Improvements

Read and Discuss in a Browser.
Previous Changelog.

Allow .NET 9 Versions >= 9.0.8 for loader.

No update to .NET 10 as of current; but am allowing 9.0.8 or greater for loader now.

According to 3rd party reports I got thus far, Proton needs updating to receive some upstream fixes from Wine for .NET 10, which may take a while to reach downstream.
We wait for Proton 11, I suppose.

Added Progress Bar for Mod Installation

If a mod takes longer than 3 seconds to install via Drag & Drop, a simple progress bar will display on the screen now.
In practice you should only see this if you install large mods (think >500MB); on a typical CPU.

Save Mod Config on Publish, Including IncludeFiles and ExcludeFiles by @TheBestAstroNOT , @Sewer56

When you Publish a mod you have an option to exclude certain files from the released project via File Inclusions & Exclusions.
By default, that is all .json files except .deps.json and .runtimeconfig.json ones.

Previously, changes on this menu didn't save; as barely anyone ever changed the defaults.
Now they do.

Reorder ASI Loader DLL Detection Order by @dreamsyntax

The order of which DLL name gets selected for Ultimate ASI Loader was changed.
Now matches using order defined in our code, rather than the order in PE Header.

With that in mind, items were rearranged to be as least intrusive as possible.
For instance, ASI Loader as dinput8.dll has caused issues in the past in limited scenarios; e.g. when using C# library with SharpDX to read inputs via dinput.

Disabled CET

.NET 9 added a security feature (on by default) which is incompatible with older unsupported versions of Windows.
Namely Windows 10 22H2 and older.

Given that Reloaded-II is already unsafe by design (injects arbitrary code), and it's usually not used for multiplayer, there is no good reason for CET to be enforced.
Rather, it should be the game's responsibility to opt in. Generally, if possible, if the base game runs on the PC, the modded game should too, out of the box.
