Cactus 5.5.0
General
---------
- The migration to Linux for all of the Project Sunrise mods is now
complete! I was able to bring a total of 54 mods to Linux with
essentially no issues. The following mods are not compatible and
have been dropped:
- Is Alive (27.9.2015)
- Disotheb (Patch 1)
- World Youth En (3.0 Remastered)
- Genesis (2.0+)
This brings us up to a total of 55 Worldstones and 1 Overlay.
- Updated DVUI to ecffdbf85beea10e9cbabcb370c60619b75e4282.
- Added Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS Testing Results.
- Added Nobara Linux 43 Testing Results.
- Added MX Linux 25.2 (AHS) Testing Results.
- Added documentation regarding avoiding immutable distros.
New Features
--------------
- User Configurable Shard Reset Defaults
Previously Cactus was automatically setting the following registry
settings in order to clean up the Diablo II in-game UI on a fresh
shard creation/reset:
- Always Run
- Hide Mini Panel
- Hide Help Menu Button
This is good when you are a veteran player since we don't want to keep
having to toggle these options when we reset, however we ended up in a
strange situation where if someone is new to Diablo II and are using
Cactus to get their game up and running quickly on Linux, they
wouldn't necessarily know the controls because they are hidden by
default by Cactus. In order to solve this issue, I've made these three
options user configurable. The default options are what Diablo II does
on a fresh install:
- Walking by default.
- The Mini Panel is displayed.
- The Help Menu Button is displayed.
The user can enable all of these options at their discretion.
Improvements
--------------
The following quality of life improvements have been implemented:
- The [Esc] key now automatically closes the Create/Modify/Settings/and
About Windows. Massively increasing ergonomics.
- The Create/Edit window will now remain open after a failure is
detected. This allows the user to easily fix the issue without having
to retype everything again.
- Successfully saving no longer displays a dialog box. This saves the
user time since not having to wait to click a confirmation box when
things already work means we can get back in the game faster or
experiment with different settings faster.
