What's new since 1.0.4

Installer and automatic updates

  • New Windows installer: FrightWorks-win-Setup.exe installs FrightWorks for your user account, with Desktop and
    Start menu shortcuts, and uninstalls from Windows Settings > Apps (#55, #68).
  • Automatic updates: the installed launcher checks for a new version when it starts and asks before updating
    (Update now / Not now / Skip this version). Updates download only what changed. Turn the check off, or check by hand,
    in Extras.
  • The zip release is still here for anyone who prefers a portable folder. From this version on, the zip's launcher
    tells you when a new release is out and links to it.

Your saves and settings

  • Installed copies keep saves in Saved Games\FrightWorks, and settings, logs and game files in
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\FrightWorks-Data, so uninstalling or updating never touches them (#54, #67).
    Screenshots and videos go to Pictures\FrightWorks and Videos\FrightWorks.
  • Choose your own save folder in Extras > Folders (installed or zip).
  • Bringing your old saves along: on first start, the installed launcher offers to copy saves, settings, mods and
    game files from an earlier FrightWorks or Refrightened folder it finds, or from one you pick. Extras has an Import
    button for later.
  • The zip works as before: everything stays inside its FrightWorks folder.

Fixes

  • The music no longer gets stuck repeating a second or two of the track (#14, #51).
  • Dragging or resizing the window, or opening its title-bar menu, no longer freezes the game and its sound (#56, #71).

Screenshots and videos

  • F2 also copies the screenshot to the clipboard (#59, #62).
  • Click the "saved" message after F2 or F3 to open the folder with the file selected.

Launcher

  • The version is back in the bottom-left corner of the launcher (#66).

Developer tools (off by default; Extras > Developer tools in the launcher)

  • F8 dev menu > Power-ups: listed in the order you find them, unused ones grouped separately, and a new Map toggle
    (#70).

Known issues

  • Frame interpolation (120/180): curtains in Clamor in the Manor! flicker (#40). Turn interpolation off if it bothers you.

Install

Installer (recommended): download FrightWorks-win-Setup.exe and run it. Open FrightWorks from the Desktop or
Start menu shortcut and choose your disc image on the Play page.

Zip: unzip FrightWorks-1.1.0.zip, open FrightWorks.exe in the FrightWorks folder, and choose your disc image
on the Play page.

Disc image: Night of 100 Frights, GameCube USA v1.01 (GIHE78, revision 1), as .iso, .gcm or .ciso. No game
data is included.

Updating from 1.0.4 (zip): either unzip the new release over your FrightWorks folder and replace the files (your
saves, settings, mods and disc stay), or switch to the installer: on first start it offers to copy everything from
your old folder.

Tested

Each change was tested in its own PR. This build:

  • the zip contains no game data, saves or settings;
  • the launcher runs from the unzipped folder, starts fresh (no disc, developer tools off) and reports version 1.1.0;
  • the game's build ID is 1.1.0; h001 (HD on) and i004 boot without crashes;
  • the installer installs, starts and uninstalls cleanly.

Updating an installed copy from GitHub is new with this release: it was tested with a local update source, and 1.1.0
is the first version installed copies can update from. No full playthrough.
