Cactus 5.1.0
New Features
--------------
- Add ability to set the Automatic Backup Path location.
The user is now able to specify their backup path. This can be used to
automatically have Cactus backup your files to an external location, which
may be something a folder watched by something like SyncThing, or it could
be a directory on an external drive. The directory specified must be absolute.
If a relative path is detected, Cactus will detect it and default to its
internal backup location.
- Improved Modding Support
This is achieved by allowing Worldstone symbolic links to shadow Core symbolic
links. This means that mod makers can just place their own files in their
Worldstone's folder, regardless of file name, and not have them conflict with
Core at the file level. This creates a nice overlay effect. Mod makers or
users are still responsible for ensuring that the actual sum of the parts
still function properly since not every mod or configuration is compatible
with each other.
- Relocatable Cactus Support
This means that if you move your Cactus directory to another location on your
machine, or you move it to another computer, you can just immediately continue
where you left off without having to reconfigure anything. All of the shards
already use relative links, and the Save Paths are now automatically
adjusted/auto-healed on each launch of a Shard. Previously the Save Path
wasn't being updated correctly for the Prefix so it seemed like you lost your
characters. This was a bug for sure. Just make sure to reinstall Wine.
Improvements
--------------
- A Shard's Prefix directory is always deleted when you reset a Shard. This was
the original behavior before I released the app but I decided to bring it back.
- The "Always Run", "Mini Panel", and "Help Menu" are now automatically set
for you when you Reset a shard. This allows you to immediately continue to
get back in the game without having to worry about setting up all of the UI
options again.
- The "NewSavePath" registry key is no longer created since we don't support
1.14 anymore.
- Improved the Serialization/Deserialization system used by Settings.json.
- Removed the "Diablo II.exe" from the list of required files. This file is no
longer necessary and the game should continue to be launched via "Game.exe".
With this, I've also removed the "Diablo II.exe" and "D2VidTst.exe" from all
Worldstones, bringing the Worldstone file size down by 5 MB, from 162 MB to
157 MB.
- Other improvements.
General
---------
- Added GNOME Mutter Delay Documentation to README.md.
- Other typo and documentation fixes.
