v1.6.1
0350d1f

Hotfix for Hearts of Iron IV 1.19.4.2. Nothing else changed: the script API is still level 8, so
every mod that works with CAPIE 1.6.0 (and mods built for CAPIE 1.5) works without changes.

Changed

  • CAPIE now runs on HOI4 1.19.4.2 only (Steam, x64, hoi4.exe SHA-256 BCCC6290…7A8037). On
    1.19.4.1 it stays off and the game starts without it, as on any other unsupported build. Steam
    updates the game automatically, so update CAPIE to 1.6.1 (run the installer again).
  • Every address and byte signature was re-checked for the new build. Code and data moved by a
    few hundred bytes to a few kilobytes; no structure layout changed. The details are in
    docs/research/port-1.19.4.2.md.
  • CAPIE_BUILD answers 1.6.1; the build number sent as capie_ver is 10601.
  • The "CAPIE" switch mod in the ZIP (mod/capie, the local copy) is version 1.1.2: no CAPIE mark
    in the main menu any more, and no interface, graphics or localisation file. Its copy of the
    game's main menu file replaced the main menu of total conversions such as Kaiserreich.

Fixed

  • CAPIE no longer refuses to start after the 1.19.4.2 game update.
  • Updating no longer fails when an antivirus (Microsoft Defender reports
    Trojan:Win32/Posilod.CA!cl, a false positive) quarantines the optional proxy version.dll.
    The proxy is now a separate download, CAPIE-1.6.1-proxy-win64.zip, listed with its SHA-256 in
    the signed release-manifest.json. Only the Proxy method fetches it, so the default Launcher
    install and update never download, unpack or read version.dll. If an antivirus blocks a file
    the setup does need, it stops with a clear message: which file, that it is a false positive,
    its SHA-256 and release page, and how to restore or allow that one file in Windows Security >
    Protection history, instead of a raw Get-FileHash error.

Supported game build

Hearts of Iron IV 1.19.4.2 (Steam, x64),
hoi4.exe SHA-256 BCCC62909B6A1EC2C1D5A46EF18608E4D0C7CDC89AD341B7402A23C40F7A8037.
CAPIE 1.6.1, script API level 8.
On any other build the launcher
starts the game without CAPIE.

Multiplayer

Not declared multiplayer-compatible: multiplayer has not been tested yet.

Windows SmartScreen

The files are not code-signed (ADR-0031).
SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC";
choose "More info" and "Run anyway" only after checking the SHA-256 values below.
The installer verifies the signed release-manifest.json
before it installs anything.

Antivirus

Some antivirus programs report the optional proxy version.dll
(a DLL the game loads by design) as a false positive.
The default Launcher install never downloads it:
it ships separately for -LoadMethod Proxy only.
If your antivirus quarantined a CAPIE file, compare its SHA-256 with
release-manifest.json and the checksums below, then restore or allow that one file
(Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Protection history).
Please do not turn your antivirus off.

@SirCypkowskyy SirCypkowskyy released this 01 Nov 16:41
v1.6.0
a65772d

A new thing a mod can change in-game: a country's map colour. Script API level 8
(capie_cap = 8); mods built for CAPIE 1.5 keep working unchanged. Runs on HOI4 1.19.4.1 only.

Added

  • Country colour (CONTRACT section 19): a mod can give a country its own map colour with the
    capie_cc_* variables. The political map, the claims map mode, borders, the faction colour and
    UI icons follow at once; restoring the variables brings the game's colour back. A cosmetic tag
    set after the choice hides it, as for the flag. A colour change redraws only the map modes that
    show country colours, so it adds nothing to error.log.
  • Every Apply now also reports capie_colour (1 when the layer works in this game), so a mod can
    grey out its colour editor when CAPIE cannot do it.

Changed

  • Status text "CAPIE 1.6 loaded"; CAPIE_API answers 8, CAPIE_BUILD answers 1.6.0.
  • CAPIE runs on HOI4 1.19.4.1 only (Steam, x64, hoi4.exe SHA-256 CF781ED1…10476F), like
    1.5.2. The checks added since 1.5.1 (the scripted-window field stores, the window manager
    vtable, the RTTI class check of every vtable) were re-checked for the new build; none of them
    moved. The details are in docs/research/port-1.19.4.1.md.
  • Less work every frame: CAPIE recognises the game's scripted windows once, when they are bound,
    instead of re-checking each one every frame.
  • A window the game has destroyed is never touched; CAPIE makes no game call for it.
  • A C++ exception inside one of CAPIE's game calls is handed to the game's own crash reporter
    instead of ending the game without a report.

Supported game build

v1.5.1
4dba74c

Support for Hearts of Iron IV 1.19.4.0 ("Operation Postern" update). The script API is unchanged
(level 7), so mods built for CAPIE 1.5.0 work without changes.

Changed

  • CAPIE now runs on HOI4 1.19.4.0 only (Steam, x64, hoi4.exe SHA-256 B6650C85…D888). On
    1.19.3.0 it stays off and the game starts without it, as on any other unsupported build.
  • Every address, byte signature and structure offset was re-derived for the new build. The game
    changed the layout of edit boxes, the politics view, scripted windows, the focus manager and
    the multiplayer session, and now finds GUI widgets by name in per-type tables. CAPIE follows
    all of it; the details are in docs/research/port-1.19.4.0.md.

Fixed

  • CAPIE no longer refuses to start after the 1.19.4.0 game update.
  • The launcher always starts the game. If Steam's command names a program the launcher does not
    know (in the game folder), the program needs administrator rights, or the launcher hits an
    internal error before the start, the game now starts unchanged without CAPIE and a notice says
    why. Only a missing program is still refused.
  • Steam can update hoi4.exe while the launcher waits for the game; with CAPIE off the launcher
    holds no file open at all.
  • Launcher notices now appear on top of the Paradox Launcher and the game. The "unsupported game
    version" notice says that CAPIE needs an update and where to get it. The outcome of the last
    run is written to %LOCALAPPDATA%\RenameAnything\last-status.txt.
  • Crash-loop breaker: if a start ended while CAPIE was loading (launcher or proxy), the next start
    runs without CAPIE once, says so, and the start after it tries again.
  • The proxy version.dll pins the same CAPIE DLLs as the launcher (one list,
    deploy/bundle-inputs.json); before, it could pin an older build and refuse the shipped DLLs.

@SirCypkowskyy SirCypkowskyy released this 15 Oct 16:10
v1.5.0
717b807

First public release of CAPIE (Cyprian's API Extender), a native library that extends what
Hearts of Iron IV mods can do. Rename Anything is the first mod built on it.

Added

  • Custom country names and adjectives as a separate name layer (script API level 4).
  • Faction names through the faction name layer (API level 5).
  • Country flags: a native flag layer that shows any flag from the game's catalogue for a
    country, with a reset (API level 6).
  • Leader portraits: a native portrait layer that shows a chosen portrait for a country's
    ruling leader, separate from the game's own data and with a reset (API level 7).
  • Text fields with a native editor for script GUIs (the CAPIE grammar editors), with an
    on-screen keyboard fallback when CAPIE is not loaded.
  • CAPIE_* status keys so mods can show whether CAPIE is loaded and which version.
  • The CAPIE launcher for the Steam launch options or a shortcut. It loads CAPIE only when the
    "CAPIE" switch mod is enabled in the playset, and starts the game without CAPIE on an
    unsupported game build.
  • The opt-in proxy loader (version.dll) as an alternative to the launcher.
  • The installer (install.ps1): install, update from signed releases, roll back, disable and
    uninstall.

VirusTotal

About these results. Every detection comes from machine-learning or file-reputation engines (CrowdStrike Falcon ML, Cynet, APEX, McAfee ti! for new, rare files) and from Bkav. No engine reports a known malware signature, and Microsoft Defender, Kaspersky, ESET, Bitdefender and Avast report nothing. The files are new, not code-signed yet, and CAPIE loads a DLL into the game process, which is what these models look for. The source is open in this repository, CAPIE makes no network connections, and the installer verifies a signed manifest and every file's SHA-256. False-positive reports have been or will be sent to the vendors; code signing is planned.
