Waypoint 0.9.1 - The item crafter for release players

LocalExile's current release doesn't include the item crafter yet. Waypoint can now set up a new copy of LocalExile that does, and bring your characters with you.

Download Waypoint.exe below and run it. If you're on 0.8.0 or later, Waypoint offers this version itself.

New

• Get the item crafter. On a release, go to Tools and press Get the item crafter…. The setup guide installs a new copy of LocalExile from its source code, and tells you exactly what will happen before it starts.
• Your choices:
  • Bring my characters, or Start with a new database.
  • Keep both, or Remove the old one later. Your current LocalExile stays until the new copy has worked for you, and Waypoint asks before deleting it.
  • Stay on a tested version, or Get the newest changes.
  • Set up Give item, which installs Frida.
• Give item offers to set itself up. If Frida is missing, the item crafter offers to install it. Frida is needed because the game's chat box stops at 175 characters, too short for most crafted items.
• The copy button says when a command is too long for the game's chat box.

Also new since 0.8.5: importing items into the crafter from Path of Building or the game, thanks to JetStream.

If you installed 0.9.0

Despite its number, 0.9.0 was built from older code, so it's missing fixes and LocalExile release support. This version replaces it, and Waypoint offers it as usual.

Good to know

• A new copy needs the .NET 10 SDK, Git, Python and Node.js. The guide checks for them and links the downloads.
• It runs LocalExile from its source code, which is newer than the release and hasn't been through a release's testing. The tested version doesn't change by itself.
• Mods you added yourself don't come across. Your mod on/off choices do.
• If you keep both, Waypoint's Change folder… on Play switches between them. Each has its own characters and progress.

Tested

On a real LocalExile 0.1.0-beta install and a real 3.29.3b client, in Simple mode: moving a character with its items, pressing Play on the new copy and entering the game, giving a crafted item from the crafter, removing the old release, and starting with a new database.

Not tested yet

• Waypoint's Play button on a release itself. The test started the release with LocalExile.exe.
• Copying the game client instead of sharing it, during the move.
• Removing the old release when the two folders are on different drives.
• Bringing characters into a folder that already has some. Only an automated test covers this.
• The Russian text has had no native review.
