v1.5.0

Hi :)

• Added fAutoStartGameDelay for configuring the delay before the lever is automatically pulled.
• Addressed compatibility with LLL by skipping boot animation less invasively.
• InitScene is now always loaded asynchronously regardless of having LLL.
• Removed "LLL detected" log warning.
• Removed redundent Metadata file.

v1.4.6

• Implemented new config option bAutoStartGame which will automatically pull the lever. You can find this in the Miscellaneous section.
• Addressed occasional (but harmless) errors being logged by editing the menu elements too early.
• Defaulted bAutoSelectMode to OFF so it's opt-in rather than opt-out.
• Improved compatibility with LethalLevelLoader by loading the scene asynchronously if found.

  This is the shittiest "solution" and should be addressed further by LLL.

v1.4.5

• Fixed issue where bAutoSelectHost would cause a black screen to be shown, softlocking the menu.
• Fixed issue where the MoreCompany cosmetics button could not be clicked when bFixMenuCanvas was false.
• Implemented new bFixMoreCompany config option to ease any further bugs with MoreCompany.
  • Defaults to true. Disable this if you do not care about the look of your main menu.

v1.4.4

• Minor changes to Thunderstore metadata.

v1.4.3

Deleting your config file is recommended!

• Fixed wrong version showing by replacing sVersionTextFormat with bAlwaysShortVersion.
• Improved consistency of button alignment by matching their sizeDelta with the host button.
• All config options now use ConfigEntry to enable runtime editing with things like ConfigurationManager.
• Version text is now updated in realtime when changing related config options.

  Essentially, you no longer need to restart. Use LethalConfig to instantly see your changes.

• Added new fVersionTextOffset option to adjust the Y (up/down) position of the version text.
  • You should use this option when the text appears out of place due to a multi-line or aspect ratio issue.

• Improved compatibility with AdvancedCompany by disabling the canvas fix regardless of bFixMenuCanvas.
  • This fixes the character being drawn as a black silhouette on the cosmetics page.

v1.4.2

• Fixed header/logo disappearing when navigating menus.
• Fixed the LethalConfig button being below the Quit button.
• Button alignment behaves better with other mod buttons, as well as when bRemoveCreditsButton is true.
• Some silly mod devs patch PlayFirstDayShipAnimation to implement their code, IT will no longer exit this early.
  • The speaker SFX is now stopped at the end of the firstDayAnimation enumerator instead.
• Removed some dead/commented code and unused ref being set.

v1.4.1

• Support v47 by fixing the settings issue. See this issue.
• Improved compatibility with future MoreCompany versions by detecting it's loaded rather than finding it's canvas.
• Removed CUSTOM_VERSION_TEXT_X and CUSTOM_VERSION_TEXT_Y. It was annoying to use and cluttered the config.
• Button alignment should now play nicely with other mods that don't have explicit support.
• Fixed splash screens not being skipped when mod loading takes >10s.
• Fixed all the null reference errors. (yay)

v1.4.0

New Features

• Skipped Unity and Zeekerss splash screens! (Configurable)
• Removed the main menu 'Credits' button. (Configurable)

Mod Compatibility

• Moved the MoreCompany header image upwards to avoid button overlapping.
• Moved MoreCompany activate & exit buttons both to the same position (bottom right) for intuitiveness.
• Improved compatibility with both LE and MC (the 3 config options from v1.3.1 are now all true).

Misc

• Buttons now get aligned without requiring bFixMenuCanvas to be true - including MC's "Mod Settings" button.
• Fixed issue where version text would stay hidden after exiting from a panel back to the menu.
• Removed unneeded reference to InputSystem.

v1.3.1

• Config now has categories.
• Added 3 new config options to help alleviate mod incompatibilities.
  • bAlignMenuButtons - Defaults to false.
  • bFixMenuCanvas - Defaults to false.
  • bFixMenuPanels - Defaults to true.

v1.3.0

Main Changes

• Centered all menu panels so the whitespace at the edges are equal. (OCD havers rejoice)
• Menu buttons are now aligned with each other and will overflow instead of wrap.
• All menu panels (host, server list, loading screen) now have the same scale, offsets and anchor.

  Essentially, this puts the "corners" in the same place across panels.

• Menu canvas now has the correct settings that a menu should have.
  • Pixel Perfect: true
  • Render Mode: Screen Space Overlay

  This means changing brightness no longer affects menu elements.

• Added new config option iGameStartupDisplay to control which monitor the game is displayed on when starting (after the splash screen).

  Any negative value will disable this setting. Defaults to 0 - the main display.

Fixes

• Fixed issue where setting sAutoSelectMode to OFF would cause the brightness and mic screens to show even after the first game boot.
• Fixed a null reference exception when trying to clone the version text.

Misc

• Removing UI elements now sets them to inactive. Destroying them is bad practice.
• Added try-catch blocks in multiple places to make future debugging easier.

v1.2.2

• The ship speaker 'first day' SFX can now be disabled via bDisableFirstDaySFX.
• Added config option sVersionTextFormat to display either the full game version or a shortened one.
• Added config option fVersionTextSize to control the font size of the version text.
• Fixed custom version text not showing - it was accidentally off by default (oops).

v1.2.1

• Added config option to toggle the version text. Credit - RectangularObject.
• BepInExPack now specified as a dependency.
• New VCR-style icon.

v1.2.0

General

• Launch skipping is now more seamless - the greenish "transition" panel has been disabled.
• Stopped panels overlapping when pressing the 'Host' button. (how other buttons work already)
• Added ability to remove the 'News' panel. Defaults to Off.
• Added ability to remove the 'Launched in LAN mode' text. Defaults to On.
• Added config option for removing the LAN warning. Defaults to On.
• Config option bAutoSelectHost is now Off by default.

Version Text

• Fixed version text being wrapped.
• Added config options (X, Y) to move the position of the version text.
• Setting the anchor position of version text is now done once instead of every frame.
• Version text now ONLY shows on the main menu. Not settings, credits etc.

v1.1.0

• Menu 'OS boot' animation is now skipped. You can revert this via the config.
• Replaced menu version text - able to be customized.
• Fixed LAN warning not being removed when AutoSelectHost was false.
• Changed mod name from 'LC-IntroTweaks' to 'IntroTweaks' in PluginMetadata.

v1.0.0

• Skips straight into the selected mode. (Online/LAN)
• Can automatically press the 'Host' button once in the menu.
• Removes the LAN warning - no need to hit 'Confirm' every time.
