AngelLoader v1.11.0 - now works better on Wine! (updated 2025/07/24)

C#, .NET Framework 4.7.2, Visual Studio 2022. Public releases are built with the Release_Public profile. Builds should always be full-solution builds (Build -> Rebuild Solution) to ensure FenGen (the code generator) runs in case it needs to generate something. How easy it is to make a tweak depends on what the tweak is. Since I'm the only programmer I've felt free to do weird stuff in the name of performance or whatever.

If it's a UI tweak, or a tweak to the config class or FMData class, then there are things you need to know. Other than that, you're probably good?

This page hasn't been updated in a while but most of it should still hold: (https://github.com/FenPhoenix/AngelLoader/blob/master/FOR_OTHER_PROGRAMMERS.md)

Thanks - I only understand a little of all that, but part of my soul is interested in learning more coding. I've been working on a Roku game, and the platform uses a proprietary language, but I've been told it's somewhat similar to Visual Basic, is related to Visual Studio? Anyway, thanks again for AngelLoader, it's a real benefit to the community.

(https://github.com/FenPhoenix/AngelLoader/releases/download/v1.9.5/AngelLoader_v1.9.5_x64.zip) AngelLoader v1.9.5 is out.

Fixes:

* Play Time was being displayed incorrectly when greater than 24 hours.
* The Screenshots tab will no longer reset the selected screenshot to the latest one right before playing an FM.
* Scanner was sometimes scanning script readmes when it should have ignored them entirely and scanned FM-related readmes only.
* Fixed tab order in Settings -> Appearance.

Scanner/rtf:

* Relaxed rtf header detection slightly - now matches the RichTextBox internal behavior.
* Rtf parser can now handle arbitrary number of nested groups.
* Improved rtf parser performance.
* Various small accuracy improvements in rtf parser.
* Scanner now converts non-ASCII dashes and quotes (smart quotes etc.) to ASCII equivalents, so as not to trip up search filtering.

(https://github.com/FenPhoenix/AngelLoader/releases/download/v1.9.6/AngelLoader_v1.9.6_x64.zip) AngelLoader v1.9.6 hotfix

* Play Time hours are now always displayed again even if they're 0, for clarity (as it was previously)

Because each new version of Dark Mod negates loading saves from previous versions, I'm stuck with constantly changing the pathway if I want to check out a mission played under an older version of Dark Mod. I end up not using AngelLoader but going directly to the older executable. I don't suppose there's a way of making multiple pathways to Dark Mod, each pointing to an older version. Needless to say, my DarkMod Folder is HUGE. I've got version 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, 2.11, and 2.12 still installed, so I can go back to those saves. Unless there is a way of loading saves from previous versions that I don't know about, I'm stuck with having to go through this "process" and AngelLoader is not equipped to handle multiple versions (not even a drop down menu for each previous version? hint hint)
