v2.9.0: Updated files for Patch 9.3, improved compatibility with Avalanche archive files, minor fixes

Updates and Fixes

General Updates:

• New game files to support Patch 9.3 (game version 3331010)

• Added support for compressed Avalanche Archive Format (AAF) files. This should resolve most crashes and blank/gray screen issues people have been experiencing with older mods with the latest game update.

  • NOTE: Archive /bundle files with the extension .ee must be exported with a tool that supports compressed AAF files to be compatible with the latest version of theHunter: Call of the Wild. The current public release of DECA does not support this format. I am working on a patched version which supports handling the compressed archives.
  • This is a BREAKING CHANGE for older versions of Mod Builder - Revived. v2.8.1 and earlier are completely incompatible with compressed archives. Any custom/external plugins that add support for new .ee files will need a new, compressed version of the archive exported from the game to be compatible. The plugin code itself should not require any changes.
  • The compressed archive files are smaller on disk but are actually less compressable by 7zip. The format change has caused the packaged release to balloon from ~190MB up to ~430MB. Sorry to anyone who is on a limited data plan, there's not much I can do about this.

Updated Mods:

• Modify Weapon FOV: Checking the box to use the game's FOV no longer disables scope and iron sights distance. The description has been updated to clarify what the checkbox does.
• Modify Weapon: The magazine size slider will no longer reset when checking/unchecking "Disable Bullet Drop"
