AdCap Access Patcher 1.2.4.9: GitHub mod downloads and unlock fix

Moves mod downloads from the retired blindmg.org server to ShotgunSpoon/adcap_patch on GitHub. The gameplay guide now downloads from GitHub as well.

Installs mod 1.2.4.9, which fixes unlock progress being linked to the rewarded business instead of the required business. Existing game-build checks, file integrity verification, backups, repair, and restore remain available.

Download and run AdCapAccessPatcher.exe, close AdVenture Capitalist, then choose Install or Update. Older patchers can obtain this patcher through their existing GitHub self-update check.

AdCap Access mod 1.2.4.8: portrait and landscape navigation

Fixes the "No businesses found" blocker in portrait layouts. The mod now discovers businesses through the game's model-to-view mapping, preserves the game's business order, and uses the attached native production and purchase controls regardless of resolution or orientation.

• Business navigation works in portrait, landscape, and square layouts.
• The selected business and navigation order survive window resizing and orientation changes.
• Business labels and production/purchase actions no longer depend on landscape container names.
• Retains the previously published gameplay features. Private diagnostics and unrelated local development features are excluded.

Close AdVenture Capitalist and select Install or Update in the existing patcher. Patcher 1.2.4.7 downloads mod 1.2.4.8 from the stable feed; no patcher update is required.

Validation: the release build compiles without warnings or errors. In-process Earth tests covered fullscreen 1920x1080 and windowed portrait, landscape, and square layouts, including 640x960, 900x1080, 800x600, 1280x720, and 1000x1000. All ten businesses retained their model order, forward/backward navigation, and action targets. Listener-substitution tests checked production, purchases, held purchasing, and disabled-action guards without spending currency or starting production. Managers navigation and focus preservation across resizing also passed. The current patcher's real installer downloaded and hash-verified all files and installed the update into an isolated fixture.

The test display clamps windows taller than 1080 pixels; an exact 900x1600 window was not tested. Live validation covered Earth, not every planet or display mode.

AdCap Access Patcher 1.2.4.7: gameplay guide

This update adds a plain-text gameplay guide and lets players save it from the patcher.

• Offers to save readme.txt after a successful installation or repair.
• Adds Download README with a Save As dialog for choosing the filename and folder.
• Downloads the guide independently of mod installation and update status.
• Offers the included guide if the online download fails.
• Asks before downloading a patcher self-update, so players can continue using the README controls.

The guide covers the gameplay loop, keyboard commands, screens, events, Angel Investors, Mega Tickets, and Time Warp Express.

The gameplay mod remains at version 1.2.4.6. This release contains only AdCapAccessPatcher.exe and readme.txt.

Validation: 13 automated checks passed for document downloads, save/cancel behavior, offline fallback, file preservation, and updater behavior. The packaged guide and live HTTPS download were verified. Live NVDA interaction has not been tested for these new controls.

AdCap Access 1.2.4.6

This release fixes looping while changing direction in long Managers lists.

• Retains the logical manager position while the game recycles visible rows during scrolling.
• Right reaches the true last manager before continuing to the remaining modal controls.
• Left from the far-side controls re-enters at the true last manager rather than an arbitrary visible row.
• Reversing direction continues through the logical list instead of bouncing among recycled rows.
• The Cash and Angels section selectors remain reachable from the first manager.
• Retains all Version 1.2.4.5 and earlier features.

Silent in-process testing traversed the Earth Cash manager list in both directions, reversed direction during virtual scrolling, reached May O'Neil at the true beginning and Chill at the true end, and exited through the surrounding controls without looping. No manager was purchased.

AdCap Access 1.2.4.5

This release completes the Angels manager navigation fix.

• From the first manager, press Left to reach the Cash and Angels section selectors instead of being trapped on “First manager.”
• Press Enter or Space on Angels to select it; the mod waits for the manager rows to rebuild and focuses the first Angel manager.
• From the first Angel manager, Left returns to the selected Angels section selector.
• Manager names, effects, costs, availability, and virtual-list scrolling remain accessible.
• Retains all Version 1.2.4.4 and earlier features.

Silent in-process validation followed the complete route: first Cash manager, Left to Angels, activate Angels, then Sully “Spike” H. Conner at a cost of 1 Angel. No manager was purchased.

AdCap Access 1.2.4.4

This release fixes the accessible manager list after selecting the Angels subtab.

• Waits for the game's virtualized Angel-manager rows to rebuild before the mod focuses and announces the first manager.
• Exposes each loaded Angel manager's name, effect, Angel cost, and current availability through the mod.
• Restores the previous bracket-key and main-tab navigation behavior; this release does not change that navigation.
• Retains the held Enter/Space business purchasing and Angel-dialog speech fixes from Version 1.2.4.3.
• Install or Update and Repair fetch the current 1.2.4.4 accessibility runtime automatically.

Silent in-process validation on Earth exposed Sully "Spike" H. Conner, Ebenezer Rockerfeller, Danky Mc Grumpface, Jenn Catsburger, Dwayne Greatsky, and Cpt Janeway Krunch after selecting Angels. No manager was purchased during testing.

AdVenture Capitalist Access 1.2.4.3

This release publishes the current accessibility runtime improvements.

• Hold Enter or Space on a business purchase row to buy repeatedly.
• The first press still uses the normal activation path, and each successful purchase retains the game's native purchase sound.
• Detailed purchase results are accumulated and announced after the held key is released.
• Angel-investment dialogs no longer repeat and interrupt speech when the projected Angels value changes.
• Removes the abandoned Steam purchase-link and external-browser fallback.
• Install or Update and Repair fetch the current 1.2.4.3 accessibility runtime automatically.

The rapid-purchase implementation builds and loads successfully, but its final per-purchase sound and cumulative-speech behavior has not been confirmed through a state-changing live purchase test.

AdVenture Capitalist Access 1.2.4.2

This release moves event countdown announcements to their own keyboard shortcut.

• Press T while an event is active to hear how long remains until it ends.
• Press T while no event is active to hear how long remains until the next scheduled event starts.
• Pressing E when no event is active now says only that no event is currently active.
• Retains the Shift+E event-return shortcut and all Version 1.2.4.1 features.
• Install or Update and Repair fetch the current 1.2.4.2 accessibility runtime automatically.

AdVenture Capitalist Access 1.2.4.1

This release adds a keyboard shortcut for leaving temporary event planets.

• Press Shift+E while an event planet is open to return to the normal planet you were last playing: Earth, Moon, or Mars.
• The shortcut works while dialogs, screen-text mode, gilding mode, or the accessible event interface are open.
• Travel uses the game's native save-and-load path rather than simulated keyboard or mouse input.
• If the previous normal planet is unavailable, the mod safely returns to Earth.
• Plain E keeps its existing event-entry, next-event countdown, and accessible-interface behavior.
• Retains all Version 1.2.4 features.
• Install or Update and Repair fetch the current 1.2.4.1 accessibility runtime automatically.

AdVenture Capitalist Access 1.2.4

This release adds an app-local countdown for the next temporary event.

• When no event is active, pressing E announces the time until the next scheduled event.
• The countdown is spoken in weeks, days, hours, and minutes.
• The mod uses the event schedule and synchronized time already available inside the running game; it does not use a separate website or external calendar.
• If the game has no future event start time available, the mod says so instead of guessing.
• Retains the Version 1.2.3 Managers navigation fixes and all accessible event features.
• Install or Update and Repair fetch the current 1.2.4 accessibility runtime automatically.
