G1L v0.8.1

G1L v0.8.1

Nexus API policy compliance

• REMOVED: all use of the Nexus Mods API and personal API keys. Nexus Mods'
  API Acceptable Use Policy forbids personal API keys in public-facing
  applications, so the per-mod update checks introduced in 0.8.0 (and the
  "Nexus updates" API-key field in Settings) are gone. Any previously saved
  key stays on your machine and is simply ignored; you can delete it from
  state.json / your Nexus account at any time.
• Mod rows no longer show "NEW" update chips and the Mods header no longer
  has a check-for-updates button. "Open on Nexus" links (plain web links)
  are unaffected and still work.
• CHANGED: the launcher's own update check now uses the public GitHub
  Releases API (anonymous, no account or key) against the official mirror
  github.com/ISKL23/G1L-Releases. The UPDATE / LATEST chip in the title bar
  works exactly as before; clicking UPDATE opens the GitHub download page.

If/when G1L is registered as a Nexus API application (with proper SSO
login), per-mod update checks may return in a future version.

G1L v0.8.0

Version 0.8.0

Crash fixes:

• Duplicate .pak copies of the same mod inside Content\Paks~mods sub-folders (often left behind by a mod update, e.g. Markers) crashed the launcher on every start with "An item with the same key has already been added" and made it unusable until files were deleted by hand. G1L now keeps the newest copy, reports the stale duplicate in the status bar so you can delete it, and can no longer crash on duplicates.
• "Export" (profile link) crashed when another app was momentarily holding the Windows clipboard (clipboard managers, RDP, overlays). Clipboard writes now retry automatically and never crash.

Update checks:

• Mod update checks now run automatically at startup when a Nexus API key is set (24h cache, so it normally costs no API calls). Update chips appear on their own - no need to press the check button in the Mods header.
• Setting a mod's Nexus ID without an installed version (right-click -> Edit Nexus metadata) now assumes the newest Nexus version as the installed one and says so in the status bar; the mod's next release then gets flagged. Previously an ID without a version silently disabled the update check for that mod.

Other:

• Fresh UE4SS installs now use the nested layout (Win64\ue4ss...) expected by current UE4SS builds and mods such as Performance Lua Mod Loader. Existing flat installs are detected and left untouched; Repair keeps your layout.
• The launcher is no longer obfuscated: fewer antivirus false positives and no file-scan quarantine delays. The source code remains private.

Optional downloads:

• G1L-Console-Commands-Reference.txt - common Unreal / Gothic 1 Remake console & cheat commands.
• The G1L_ConsoleCommands test mod (auto-runs commands.txt on load) is still available on the v0.7.6 release page.

Build removed (2026-07-13). Versions 0.7.3–0.8.0 used a personal Nexus API key for update checks, which the Nexus Mods API Acceptable Use Policy does not allow in public applications. Please download the latest release instead.

G1L v0.7.6

Version 0.7.6

New:

• Settings: "In-game console (cheats & commands)" toggle. When on, G1L enables the UE4SS console built-ins (ConsoleEnablerMod, CheatManagerEnablerMod, ConsoleCommandsMod) so you can open the Unreal console in-game and use cheat/console commands. Off by default - a developer/cheat feature, separate from the existing UE4SS debug-log console toggle. Requires UE4SS.
• Optional download: a console commands reference sheet (common Unreal/Gothic 1 Remake console & cheat commands).
• Optional download (test build): G1L_ConsoleCommands - a small UE4SS Lua mod that auto-runs console commands from an editable commands.txt on load.

Notes:

• The console/cheat built-ins stay disabled unless you opt in; other UE4SS developer helpers (SplitScreen, LineTrace, etc.) remain off.

G1L v0.7.5 (latest revision)

Latest revision (2026-06-18). Version number unchanged at 0.7.5 - this build re-uploads
0.7.5 with the newest fixes on top of the initial build: the UE4SS nested-install fix and
Performance Lua Mod Loader support.

Version 0.7.5

New:

• Added support for Performance Lua Mod Loader (PLuaModLoader): the loader installs like any UE4SS Lua mod, and its child mods are routed into PLuaModLoader\Scripts\Mods\ instead of the top-level Mods folder.
• Added conservative support for loose game-file replacement mods: G1R\Images..., G1R\Story..., G1R\Textures..., or root Images/Story/Textures folders.
• Loose game-file mods are shown as type "File" in the mod list.
• Loose game-file mods use the managed loose-file lifecycle: originals are backed up, disabling restores the original or removes newly added files, and enabling restores the mod payload.
• Mod packs (.g1lpack) now preserve loose game-file mods with a ProjectRoot/ logical path, so packs import correctly across different game install paths.

Note:

• Please respect the work behind G1L: do not copy, modify or redistribute the launcher outside the official release pages (see the license).

Fixes:

• Update UE4SS now respects an existing experimental (nested Win64\ue4ss) install instead of forcing the flat layout, so mods that load from Win64\ue4ss\Mods keep working and no second UE4SS copy is left behind.
• Fixed .rar extraction fallback for non-solid archives when native 7-Zip is not available.
• Loose-file detection intentionally ignores protected layouts such as Binaries, Mods, Content\Paks, Content\Movies, UE4SS, pak, BP, movie, ReShade and Engine.ini layouts.
