[18.07.25] - [Mod Update 0.7]

MOD OPTIONS:
Added:
A new checkbox, to enable/disable additional descriptions in the mod menu. (Requires Reboot/Reload to take effect)

Changed:
The descriptions now shows the version of the manager you have installed, instead the info, that the manager is needed to work (which was obvious)

Changed:
The download button now only shows up, if you haven't got the latest manager version installed.


HOTKEY ENHANCEMENTS:
Added:
3 Hotkeymodes ("Click" , "Hold" , Click/Hold) from which you can select the behaviour you like the most.

Added:
A slider to adjust the hotkey holddown min time (in ms), when being in Hold or Click/Hold mode.
(Range = 1000ms - 6000ms)

Added:
A simple button spam protection for the backup hotkey, which blocks the hotkey for an adjustable time. (250ms - 4000ms)

NEW RADIAL MENU:
Added:
A custom radial menu, as well as an checkbox in the options menu, to enable/disable it. ( default = disabled ).
Features:
- Of course an option to start the backup process (Radialmenu option 4 straight down)
- 2 custom iconsets, which can be switched within the radial menu settings. (Radialmenu -> Settings -> Radial Menu Settings -> Textures)
- automatic save/load radial menu config option, which atm only saves the iconset you are using.
- quick access to some modoptions (Validate , AutosaveOnEnterCarEnabled & AutosaveOnceADayEnabled)
- an option, to display any statistics saved in the Backup_History.csv within the game in form of a listbox. (Radialmenu option 2)[Beta]
- an option, which when BackupManager v.0.6.0 (Latest) is min installed, unminimizes the Manager. (So you won't need to access the taskbar to unminimize the Manager)

STATISTICS LOGGING:

Added:
Added basic background tracking & logging of game statistics on every new made backup. [Beta]

Added:
A checkbox to enable/disable logging of game statistics ( default = disabled ).

Added:
An option, when enabled, displays the past gametime since your last backup and displays it as HaloTextHelper text.

Added:
Saving/loading of game statistics from/to a .csv filel, which will be handled silently in the background or
manually threw the new radial menu (Radialmenu -> Settings -> Statistics Settings)
[Info: Delete Statistics won't delete the .csv file, but rename it instead, in case you deleted unintentionally]

DEBUG:

Added:
A non interactable checkbox in the modoptions (File System Ok), which when checked,
indicates that all by this mod required files are existing & where found.
(If files are missing or else, this won't disable or block anything. Its just an indicatior to make
troubleshooting more easy, in case errors occure.) [Only visible, when in dev mode!]

Update: 2 Jun @ 7:15pm

[03.06.25] - [Mod Update 0.6]
Everyone who is on build 42 can ignore this update.
Added barely support for build 41:
For now, I just got the backup via hotkey function done.
No notifications, no Autosave. Just a single toggle
in the mod menu (which requires the mod ModOptions ),
and a change hotkey option, in the general keybind section.

Don't forget to enable the mod in the mod options,
and to connect the manager app.


Update: 12 May @ 1:20am

[12.05.25] - [Mod Update 0.5 hotfix]

[Fixed] - [A typo in the mod options menu]
sorry, i'm stupid.

Update: 12 May @ 1:08am

[12.05.25] - [Mod Update v0.5]

IMPORTANT: This update requires the latest version of the Manager App. (v0.0.6)

[Added] - [Savegame validation & auto switching] - (BETA)
1. Checks if you have the same savegame selected in the Manager as you are playing,
2. If not, a warning will pop up and give you the option, to switch to the right one.

[Added] - [App update notification system]
Because this version only works with version v0.0.6 (or later) of the Manager App
I integrated a warning display, which will pop up (and pause the game), when you
load into a game, which includes a short instruction & a download button.
The download button brings you directly to the latest Manager App download page.

[Added] - [Dev-Mode]
This can be enabled in the mods option menu, if you updated your Manager correctly
to v0.0.6, but still cant get it to work. For now thats the only possible use case.

[Changed] - [Notifications]
I changed the color of the notifications, that occur when triggering an autosave,
while being on timeout/cooldown to white. Red was looking wrong.

[Fixed] - [German Translation]
I included a german translation since release, but stupidly put the files in the wrong
directory.

[Fixed] - [The Cooldown/Timeout starts, even if the autosave failed]
If you loaded into your game, but forgot to connect the Manager or similar,
the backup process would fail, but though start the cooldown timer.

If you have any issues updating or installing the Manager or using the mod,
you're welcome to contact me.
