[BETA] YeetPatch [BETA]
Changelog
- Adding version switcher/downloader functionality to linux tool;
- Probably switching to a different hashing algo for version checks (probably meowhash lmao);
- Serving linux tool as a separate download instead of bundling it with the windows one;
- Adding some tools/utils/settings in a new tab;
- More supported versions for YeetPatch (not sure how many yet, ultimately i wanna support from 0.8 but i might have to offload the files elsewhere to not tank my storage since they're not efficient to store);
- Renaming the EXPERIMENTAL tab to something else cause it works just fine tbh;
- [MAJOR FEATURE] EXPERIMENTAL tab: Allows you to download any
version of VOTV that was ever
released
- [MAJOR FEATURE] EXPERIMENTAL tab: Allows you to set a cache folder for downloaded version data,
which
can be used to speed up the process of downloading NEW AND OLD versions (unchanged data gets reused
from
past versions, only the difference gets downloaded)
- [MAJOR FEATURE] Installing/updating a version backs up your SaveGames and Config folders from
%localappdata%\VotV\Saved\ (i'm trying to prevent people from shooting themselves in the foot with
version switching);
