It's been a while since I released, but I'm finally wrapping up some of my development and pushing it out the door. I'm not going to meet all of my original goals for this release, but I'll let you get your hands on what I do have working.
Features
- New shiny mod system! I did a bunch of work to decouple mods into a generic type, so it is now fairly easy for me to add new mods.
- On that note, Kaon now has gained another mod, the excellent Portal 2 VR mod! It can be installed for Portal 2 or for Portal Stories: Mel.
- Installable mods (aka those that are not standalone .exe files) can be repaired. This just reinstalls all the mod files to fix any missing or modified files.
Fixes
- Kaon now detects Valve Anti-Cheat and will warn you if you try to mod a Valve game with VAC.
- Certain dialogs will no longer change their text when you close them.
- A fallback option was added to make Steam icons slightly more robust.
- Changed some initialization orders to make sure we have the best chance possible of finding a Wine/Proton executable.
UUVR
I've been doing some work on getting UUVR support rolled into Kaon, but I haven't yet got everything working on my system, and the code I wrote for it a few months ago seems to be bugged. For now, the code is hidden behind a compile flag. If you build Kaon from source, you can enable the EXPERIMENTAL_UUVR_SUPPORT flag in CMake to turn on UUVR code. However, it will almost certainly not work.
