Update 0.5

This update changes completely how the launcher works and adds quality of life improvements to both the launcher and the mod.

The launcher has been rewritten completely for better error handling, security, performance and functionality.

Launcher

  • The mod is no longer embedded in the executable, but is downloaded from GitHub.
  • Executable size went from ~900 KB to ~200 KB.
  • With the rewrite, antiviruses flagging the launcher are no longer an issue.
  • You can now drag & drop any version of the mod to the launcher executable for an instant install!
  • There's now a configuration file for the launcher. You can now decide if you want the launcher to check for updates or not.
    • You will be asked whether you want to check for updates automatically or not the first time you run it.
  • A first-run dialog has been added to explain a bit how the mod and launcher works to the user.

Mod

Most of the changes are code base improvements.

New

  • Added a notification system
    • Whenever you toggle or run a mod feature, it will display a notification. Will be improved with future updates.
  • Added tooltips
    • Now, when you hover on a feature or parameter, a tooltip will show explaining what it does
  • Added Clear Objects
    • Removes dropped armor and weapons from the map
  • Added macros
    • You can now bind multiple features to the same key
    • The key duplication warning will give you the option to share the key, showing which features are already binded to the same key.
  • Added Unlock UE Console in the Settings
  • Added Snap to Ground option on NPC & item spawners (enabled by default)
  • Added Graphics section in the Settings
    • This allows you to customize the game's graphics options individually, as the game does not yet allow you to do so.
    • For example: you can play at low graphics settings with 100% render scale so the game doesn't look blurry.
  • Mouse movement input is now disabled when the menu is visible. This prevents you from moving the camera while you are interacting with the mod interface.

Changed

  • Lots of optimizations, including the GUI, configuration system, hooks, and memory management.
  • And so much other changes I don't remember lol (120+).

Notifications and tooltips can be disabled in the settings.

Also, the Playtest version of the mod has been fixed and updated!
