Mods reach the folder the game reads again, if you run the new Minify
Minify v1.14rc7 puts a command of its own in front of Dota in Steam's launch options, so that
pressing Play patches first. Storing that escapes the quotes around its path, and this app read
launch options up to the first quote and stopped there. It lost the -language sitting behind
it, concluded nothing was set, and went back to installing into the folder named by the voice
setting - which Dota does not mount while that option is there. Your mods were on disk, switched
on, in a folder nothing reads.
Launch options now parse the way Steam writes them. If your mods went quiet after Minify
updated, they come back on the next start of this app, and nothing has to be installed again.
When Dota will not start, the Library says why
That same Minify setting is "Run patches upon launch if required", and it is on by default. It
can swallow a launch: if its patch decides your launch options need fixing, it closes Steam and
waits for it, and your launch goes down with Steam. This app is nowhere in that sequence, since
Play here opens the same steam:// link the Play button in Steam does. It is the window you
have open when nothing happens, though, so it now tells you the wrapper is set, whose setting it
is, and where to switch it off.
pak99 is back in circulation
Minify merged its English localization into pak66, so it will not write pak99 again and this app
can hand that slot out. A pak99 already sitting in your folder is still read as Minify's and
left alone.
Colours changed once, then never again
Turn animations off in Windows and the mascot in the title bar worked on the first click of a
session and ignored every click after it. The spin now ends on a clock rather than on an
animation that never runs.
Deleting mods no longer looks like deleting your presets
Clear out the Mods tab and every preset read "0 mods" above the words "empty (everything will be
switched off)". Nothing had gone: a preset remembers mods rather than installations, which is
what lets a build outlive a reinstall, and the card counted only the ones it could find on disk.
A preset now shows everything in it, with the mods you do not have drawn as outlines.
