Compile Pal V027.29

Features

Processes and parameters are now checked for compatibility with the current game configuration

Processes and parameters that are incompatible are grouped into an Incompatible section, and presets that use them will display a warning.

This is a visual warning only and will NOT prevent you from using processes/parameters that are marked as incompatible. All compatibility information was taken from the VDC, but if you notice something marked as compatible/incompatible when it shouldn't be, please create a new GitHub Issue.

Bugfixes

Added warning if compile step exits with a nonzero exit code

Plugins

Added CompatibleGames and IncompatibleGames fields to meta.json and parameters.json. These fields allow developers to mark their plugin or certain parameters as compatible or incompatible with specific games. See the Plugin Development Guide for more details

Full Changelog: v027.26...v027.27

Compile Pal V027.26

BREAKING CHANGES

• In order to support map based presets, this version of Compile Pal is not compatible with previous versions of mapfiles.json from Compile Pal 027.22 - 027.25. If upgrading, make sure to not copy the mapfiles.json file from your old version of Compile Pal.

Features

Added Map Based Presets

Map based presets allow you to create presets that can only be used for specific maps

When creating or cloning a preset, a new checkbox allows you to select whether the preset should apply only to the currently selected map or be available globally. This preset will be available for all versions of your map, as long as the version identifier is at the end of the name, Ex. mapname_version, cp_foo_v12, koth_bar_b3, de_baz_rc3

Compile Pal V027.25

• Improved clarity of Add Preset/Add Process buttons

Bugfixes

• Fixed being able to select multiple configurations on the launch screen
• Main window now closes when you delete the currently selected game configuration

Full Changelog: v027.23...v027.24

Compile Pal V027.23

Updated .NET Framework from 4.5 to .NET 6.0
Updated MahApps.Metro from 1.4.3 to 2.4.9

.NET Framework 4.5 reached end of support on April 26th, 2022, so I took the opportunity to update to the latest LTS release. This is a large change and potentially will cause issues, so please report any bugs you find.

Additionally you may notice that the filesize is significantly larger than previous versions. Microsoft does not have any plans on bundling .NET 6 with Windows, so I have to use a self contained deployment that includes the whole .NET runtime.

Full Changelog: v027.22...v027.23

Compile Pal V027.22

BREAKING CHANGE
Added ability to use different presets when batch compiling.
To choose a preset for a map, select the map in the map list and then select a preset. This differs from the old behavior where the selected preset applied to all maps
