v2.8.7 & 2.8.8

• Stopped BetterUI from loading if BepInEx is broken.

v2.8.6

• Updated Mod BepInIncompatibility
• Updated statement below because it was missing edits that were meant to be included.

v2.8.5

• Small Update: Languages: Language updater now removes itself after fetching all the updates. Realistically it didn't do anything after the first run, but there is also no reason to keep it around.
• Small Update: Languages: Updated all the language files. BetterUI does this at startup, but this update also includes all the latest language files, reducing the need new people downloading the mod to update all of their language files.
• Small Update: This update will disable BetterUI if it detects it has been interefered with, more specifically if the main menu button has been removed.

Consider this my public statement regarding this issue:

Originally the main menu button was added as a proof of concept/prototype, as a stepping stone for introducing a more sophisticated UI in-game for managing both BetterUI, and other mods and their configs. After the massive drama that followed, I pretty much completely lost interest in modding RoR2, which is why no more came of it.

It has remained in it's original state since then, acting as an easy way to find my discord so that people can join it to get support, a place for translators to add their credit, and as a way for people to find out how they can support BetterUI.

I'm not gonna go to deep into why I placed it where I did, because it's not that important. If you think it's in a bad spot, that's cool with me. If you don't like seeing it and you wanna modify your own version of BetterUI to move it or hide it, I'm totally fine with that. If you're a developer who wants to work with me to move the button to a better space or to add an option to hide it after people have seen it, I am totally cool with that too and you are welcome to hit me up.

What I'm not okay with is people who release mods that hide the button from users who have potentially never seen it before, especially when a lot of that effort has been spite-driven and combined with mindless hate against me from people who know nothing about me. I don't want to start an arms race where BetterUI finds ways to re-add the button after it was removed, and other people find new ways to stop BetterUI from adding the button, I'm simply changing BetterUI to disable itself if it finds the button to have been removed. I am aware that this will also disable BetterUI for people who have seen the button but just didn't like it, but unfortunately if another mod removes the button, there is no way for BetterUI to know if such mod was installed by someone who has seen the button and wanted to hide it, or if it's done in a modpack/profile that is distributed to people who never had a chance to see it. But as I said above, if someone wanted to work with me to add this directly into BetterUI, I am completely open to that, because I don't have a problem with people hiding the button after they've seen it, I'm just not gonna work on that myself because I'm severely burnt out on working on this for obvious reasons.

v2.8.4

• Bugfix: Languages: Language file hash will be checked before parsing to ensure the file downloaded correctly.
• Bugfix: Languages: Language files will no longer be overwritten if the updated language file fails to parse.

v2.8.3

• Addition: Item Sorting: Allows arbitrary item sorting in the sort string. See Readme for details on how to use this.
• Bugfix: Command Improvements: Fixed typo "BETTERUI_BEFORE_SINGULA", should correctly resolve the string now.

  Language files will now automatically download the latest version if it is available, or if the language file is missing. This means you no longer have to update BetterUI just because a single string was added to a language.
  It will also automatically fix installation issues that can occur when people accidentally delete or move the language files to the wrong folder (or not at all).
• Addition: Language Support: Translation Platform
  I've added a new online platform for translators to contribute at https://translate.faby.dev
  If you would like to help by imprvoving our existing languages or by adding new ones, join my discord at https://discord.faby.dev and connect with me to get permissions on the translation website.
• Small Change: Language Support: Language files renamed to prevent them from showing up in the r2modman config editor as this was causing confusion.

• Small Update: Added more Russian strings ( Thanks l Yoh l )
• Bugfix: ItemStats: Fixed Harvester's Scythe not showing the correct stack value.
• Bugfix: ItemStats: Updated Ben's Raincoat to the newest version

• Internal Change: Language Support: Added additional logic for the display of seconds as required by some languages.
• Bugfix: Language Support: Fixed language support not being case insensitive in regards to the language name. This should fix issues with the system default language not getting BetterUI strings.

• Bugfix: Advanced Icons: Fixed incorrect Proc Coefficient for MUL-T Ram. ( 0 -> 1)

v2.7.5

• Bugfix: Language Support: Removed extra "second" in lobby skill tooltip.

v2.7.4

• Bugfix: Language Support: Fixed English strings not getting loaded when another language is selected.
• Bugfix: Language Support: Fixed broken English buff string.

v2.6.3

• Bugfix: AdvancedIcons: Fixed Void's special and corrupted special having reverse descriptions.
• Small Addition: Buffs: Added some missing descriptions for vanilla buffs.(Thanks DestroyedClone)

v2.6.2

• Bugfix: ItemSorting: Fixed a bug that caused BetterUI to break when custom Item Tiers are added, for now BetterUI will simply treat these items as NoTier tier. In the future, there will be config options for custom item tiers. Some developers have already "hacked" their tiers into BetterUI to fix this, this method will continue to work.
• Bugfix: Oops: Removed some debug text that was spammed into the console when the Strides of Heresy skill was being used.
• Mod Compatibility: ItemStats: Added helper methods for developers to access the ItemStats for an ItemDef, the ItemTags for an ItemStat and the ItemModifiers for an ItemTag. This allows easier access to change or remove ItemStats that have already been added, such as the ItemStats BetterUI adds for vanilla Items. This will allow developers of mods that change the way vanilla items work to also change the corresponding ItemStats. In the future, there will likely be a more user-friendly way to change existing ItemStats but this, somewhat raw, access to the ItemStats allows for max compatibility without large changes.

v2.6.1

• Removed blacklist. Yes, this means I plan to continue working on BetterUI.

v2.6.0

  • Filters: + a tag will apply the next sorting to only items that match the tag.
    You can use any tags from the tag based sorting.
