Shiloh v0.3.4
- Controller support: Xbox and PlayStation pads and the Steam Deck work in the window and in the browser. The left
stick moves the pointer, the D-pad (or the right stick) jumps to the next thing you can click, A / B are the left /
right click, X goes to the inventory, Y shows the hotspots, Start opens the game's menu, Back the settings. Settings →
Controller offers a free pointer or a centred one as on the PlayStation version (it rests at the centre of the scene,
reaches the whole picture and springs back), and Pointer speed sets how fast it moves. Checked with a DualShock 4 in
the window and in Chrome; Firefox on macOS gets no input from a DualShock 4 over Bluetooth.
No game data is included: you need your own copy of The X-Files Game. See "Downloads" in the
README for how to run these builds. Built and played on macOS; the Windows build has been run
on a Windows PC; the Linux build is made by CI and not yet play-tested. Checksums: SHA256SUMS.
Shiloh v0.3.3
- The French edition on the English DVD Edition image (its
Francaisfolder): French is now the second game language
there — F4, Settings → Game language,--game-lang fr, or?game-lang=frin the browser switch voices, movies,
texts and the interface pictures between English and French. English stays the default. The game has been played
through in French from start to finish. - Every language of every disc you give is offered as a game language: the Russian game with the English DVD
Edition image as--en-dataoffers Russian, English and French (F4 goes through all of them). The settings name
each language's edition and where it comes from, e.g. "French — EN DVD Edition 2.05 (XFILES1.mdf, Francais)". --data /path/to/Francaisalone works (before, the French folder had to be given as three folders in a fixed order,
MININST,MEDINST, thenFrancais).- Accented letters of the game's own text (French, also German umlauts) show correctly in the dialogue box, item texts
and roll-over texts; before, they came out as Cyrillic letters. - French over the Russian release: the French interface pictures with the French screen layout (the computer's
buttons, the Help and Options screens); the search after the Tarakan fingerprints' e-mail works in French. - Pictures made of several bands (the e-mail and APB screens, about 25 document close-ups such as the lab report)
no longer lose their lower part: it was black in every language. - The lips cursor shows over a character only where a click starts a conversation, as in the original; before, it
showed over every character.

Shiloh v0.3.2
- The game's Options take effect when you return to the game from the menu, as in the original: the Artificial
Intuition icon appears or goes, captions switch and the icon bars move, the inventory bar shows or hides. Before,
some of them only changed after a restart or a Load. - Changed Options are kept when you leave the Options screen (as the original keeps them), not only after a save.

Shiloh v0.3.1
- The finale's action scenes show the original's cursor while a click counts: the fist over the button that traps
Mulder and in the scenes with Cook, the stiletto over Cook when it is held. Before, the cursor never changed, so it
was hard to tell when to click. The known issue of the earlier releases ("the last chase with Mulder cannot be won
with normal clicks") is gone: the finale has been played through with normal clicks. - The game pauses while the menu's Options, Help, Save or Load screen is shown, as in the original: its movie, sound
and subtitles no longer go on under that screen. - The main menu's opening (the X logo forming, then the items fading in) shows alone and takes no mouse input until
it ends, as in the original; clicks made meanwhile are handled when it ends.

Shiloh v0.3.0
- The German 7-CD release: Shiloh now knows its program build (1.00.19), and the game has been played through on it
from start to finish. Before, after New Game the opening's movies ran one after another instead of together, so for a long time nothing seemed to happen (likely
also why some movies seemed missing), and the computer searches, phone, cheats and e-mail replies did nothing. - German game data: German is the only game language, its texts show their umlauts. Its movies carry no subtitles,
so Settings no longer shows a Subtitles switch that does nothing; with an English subtitle pack (or an English copy
given with--en-data) English subtitles are offered. - The English retail CDs are recognised as English (their program is the same file as the Russian release's):
English texts are no longer decoded as Russian, and no Russian subtitle pack is put over them. --data FOLDERalso finds disc images in the folder's sub-folders (e.g.disk1/*.iso … disk7/*.iso), and says
clearly when there are neither game files nor disc images.

Shiloh v0.2.1
- Hybrid Mac/PC CDs no longer end in a black screen after the opening movie. Each file on such discs also has a Mac
copy under the same name, and Shiloh read that instead of the game's file. The German 7-CD release now reaches the
main menu and the opening; the computer searches, phone, cheats and e-mail replies of its program build don't work
yet. - When disc images are missing, Shiloh says which discs, and that disc 1 holds the game's database.

Shiloh v0.2.0
Easier start: no command line needed.
- Windows: drag your disc image (
.iso/.mdf) or game folder ontoxf.exeto play. - Double-click
xf: it finds a disc image or game folder placed next to it, or asks for your copy once with a file
dialog and remembers the choice. xf-servefinds the game the same way and, started with a double-click, opens the game in your browser.- Errors after a double-click or a drop show in a message box instead of a console window that closes at once.
- The Russian release as a single DVD
.iso, whose game files are only inside its installer, now runs directly from
the image, with no installation. - Windows: file paths in messages no longer start with
\\?\.
Known issue (unchanged): the last chase with Mulder cannot be won with normal clicks; use the Artificial Intuition
hint icon and the action it suggests.
