Arcanas in the item builder

With safe mode off, Cosmetics → Items now offers every hero's arcana along with the rest of their
items. An item that comes in several styles lets you pick the style, and the builder brings its
sounds and voice lines, the hero's portrait, minimap icon and ability icons with it. A few arcanas
are not right yet. Their card says Has bugs or Broken, and before you put one on the window tells
you what goes wrong: Razor walks facing backwards, for example. Io is in the builder for the first
time, its arcana included, and its items say Not checked until somebody has played them.

Items you already picked are built again once after this update, and after any later update that
changes how they are built, so a fix reaches them without picking them again. Thanks to J0nathan550,
who wrote this and played every arcana through it.

The app in Simplified Chinese

Choose 简体中文 on the first start or in Settings. Hero and item names come from your own game's
Chinese text, and the catalog searches in Chinese and by the original names. Anything new shows in
English until it is translated. Thanks to F21HGG.

A proxy for downloads

Settings → Download cache now has a field for an HTTP or HTTPS proxy. Test it, save it, and the
catalog, mods and tools download through it; leave it empty to connect directly. The installed
app's own updates still connect directly. When a download fails on the network, the error now
suggests a proxy or a VPN. Thanks to ezvacss.

A screen reader hears more

A message that pops up, such as a mod installed or an error, is now read out, inside a mod's window
too, and the reader is told which section and which category are open.

Fixed

  • In My mods, a mod whose picture does not load keeps its row the right shape.
  • The grey captions, such as the category under a card's name, are a little brighter, so they stay
    readable over the lighter part of the background.
  • The style dots on a card sit a pixel further apart, so each one is easier to hit.
  • The installed app can no longer be run as plain Node.js or have a debugger attached, and it loads
    only its own code.
