Hello all, I'm pleased to announce Cactus 5.3.0. Patch notes below. You can continue to download Cactus from the usual locations.
Cactus 5.3.0
General
---------
- The Settings.json file is now called Cactus.json.
No action is needed from the user. It will be renamed automatically.
Improvements
--------------
- Massive quality of life improvement when it comes to keyboard
navigation and Creating, Modifying Shards and updating Settings.
You'll now be able to press [Enter] from any text field in the
Create/Modify/Settings window to trigger the Create/Modify/Save
actions.
Furthermore, since most of the times you will be using the "Game.exe"
and very rarely will be adjusted to another third party executable,
the "Game.exe" option is the default value. It will automatically be
filled in for you if you press Enter. So for example, you now just
need to type in the Worldstone and Shard values and press [Enter] in
order to create a Shard.
Due to this, I've removed all placeholder values and only kept some
of them to let you know what the default would be.
There is still room for improvement for keyboard navigation stuff,
specifically if pressing the [Esc] key to cancel. This isn't
implemented yet.
You can also press Tab to cycle through the Main screen icons and
you'll get visual feedback. You previously were able to cycle, but the
outline was explicitly disabled. I've re-enabled it so you can see it.
Once you trigger the action, the focus will be automatically removed
to maintain a clean UI and not have a perpetual focus on a button.
The Create window will automatically focus the Worldstone box upon creation.
The Modify window will automatically focus the Launcher box upon creation.
The Settings window will automatically focus the Backup Path upon creation.
Dialog windows will automatically focus on their "Ok" buttons.
- Continue to adjust log levels.
- Made some minor UI changes.
- Added upgrade instructions and other documentation tweaks to the
README.md.
Bug Fixes
-----------
- Fixed a minor bug where attempting to destroy a running shard would
continue to run some additional benign logic. The UI will now also let
you know that it can't destroy the shard because it's still active.
- Improved dialog text getting chopped off in some situations.
