Athelas 1.7.0

Press Update in the launcher, or unzip it over your Athelas folder: your settings, saves and achievements are
kept. This release is about the launcher: it can now do what my other launcher, COGBox, does.

New in the launcher

  • Athelas in 11 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Polish, Russian,
    Japanese, Chinese (Simplified) and Korean. It asks on first start; change it under This window on any game's
    About tab. The Xbox ports' settings are translated too. The translations are in the lang folder, and
    corrections are welcome.
  • Back up and restore your saves on each game's About tab. A backup is a zip on your desktop. Restoring one first
    zips the saves you have now ("before restore"), so nothing is lost.
  • A log folder for every play (Open logs): the log, how the game closed and what that means, and any crash report.
    The newest 15 are kept.
  • Clear shaders for the Xbox ports, if a game ever looks wrong after a driver update. The saved shaders are set
    aside, not deleted.
  • Play time for The Return of the King (PC) too. Athelas now waits in the background while it plays, and it says
    so if the game crashes.
  • Desktop shortcuts for each game: they open Athelas and start that game with its settings.
  • The window grows with you: resize or maximise it and everything scales. F11, or LT + RT together, switches
    fullscreen from any screen. A borderless option hides the title bar. On a Steam Deck-sized screen it starts
    maximised and borderless.
  • Controller on the carousel, as in COGBox: LB / RB light Play or Settings, A presses the lit one. The hints at
    the bottom now show the fullscreen shortcut too.
  • The Shire theme plays on The Fellowship of the Ring's box, from your own copy of the game.
  • Mods from a .zip (The Return of the King, PC): "Add a mod (.zip)" on the Mods tab. Data mods each get their own
    folder, with a tick, Up / Down to set which one wins when two change the same file, and Remove. A mod that is a
    program (a .dll) is only added after a warning.

Fixes

  • The Two Towers' menu music didn't play when a European copy was added before the US one. A box now plays (and
    takes its music from) the US copy first.
  • ROTK Fix's log now says when a code mod has no ModInit (it was reported as started).

The three Xbox ports are the same as in 1.6.1.
