Conker: Live & Recompiled 0.2.4

A photo mode where the world can keep moving, a launcher that works fully with a controller and has its own file browser, and Report Bug on F10.

New

• Photo mode, the world in motion: hold frame step (F or D-pad right) and the world runs at normal speed until you let go; a tap still moves it one frame. 1 (or Back + A) pauses and resumes it. The camera stays free, so you can follow a cutscene from anywhere and freeze it on the moment you want. The sound plays along. If the world moves on to another level, photo mode ends.
• Photo mode, picture settings: the photo panel (Tab or Start) has a new Picture section: Pop-in Fix, Haze, Vignette, Screen drops and CRT / scanlines, for photo mode only. Your own settings stay as they are; tick Save photo settings to start photo mode with these from now on.
• Controller in the launcher: the whole launcher works with any connected controller. The D-pad or left stick moves between options, A presses, ticks or opens, B goes back or gives the safe answer ("Not now", "Cancel"), LT / RT (or Y) switch the main tabs and LB / RB the tabs inside them, the right stick scrolls, Start is Play and Back closes the launcher. A slider moves after a tap of A (or hold A and press left / right). While you use a controller, the option you're on has a green ring, a help line under it explains it, and button hints show for Xbox or PlayStation controllers. Mouse and keyboard work as before.
• File browser: Import Files and adding the decensor patch now open the launcher's own file browser instead of the Windows Open dialog, usable by mouse, keyboard or controller. It opens in the launcher's folder, lists your Desktop, Downloads, Documents, drives and the last folders you chose a file from, and has an address bar to type or paste a path. Windows dialog... still opens the old dialog.
• Drag and drop: drag your disc image or the patch from Explorer onto the file browser, or your disc image onto the Welcome window shown on the first start, and the import begins at once. A file that won't do says why while you drag it.
• Report Bug (F10): press F10 in the game (or use Report Bug... in the F2 menu, which a controller reaches with Back + LB). The game pauses and a window asks what went wrong; Create Report makes a .zip to attach to a GitHub issue. It holds your description, the game's last logs, a picture of the moment, your settings, your saves (untick Include save files to leave them out) and your PC's details (Windows, graphics card, processor, memory, monitor). The Windows user name is left out, and nothing is sent by itself. Open GitHub Issue opens a new issue with its text filled in; drag the .zip into it (posting needs a free GitHub account). F10 can be changed in F3 → Photo mode.
• Reports after a crash or freeze: if the game crashes, it offers a report by itself. If the game freezes, press F10: it can't notice a freeze on its own. A small report window opens on top of the frozen game. These two reports have no picture. For a crash you notice later, the launcher's Files tab has a Report Bug button.

Updating from 0.2.3

Start conker-launcher.exe: it shows this update in its update window, with what's new. Click Update Now (or Update at any time). It replaces the program files and keeps your game files, saves, settings and the decensor patch.

New install

No game files are included. You need your own copy of the game for the original Xbox (PAL or USA); the launcher imports it from your disc image.

1. Download conker-live-recompiled-0.2.4.zip below and unzip it anywhere (not inside C:\Program Files).
2. Start conker-launcher.exe (if Windows says it protected your PC: More info → Run anyway).
3. Import your game on the Files tab, then click Play.

Everything that's new compared to the Xbox, the planned features and the known issues are in the README.
