Features

BUTRLoader consists of two parts- BUTRLoader itself and LauncherEx.

BUTRLoader expands the game launch with the following features:

• []Interceptor - BUTRLoader checks if the is a class with a custom attribute named BUTRLoaderInterceptorAttribute. If it's found it checks if there are the following signatures:

  [] void OnInitializeSubModulesPrefix() - will execute just before the game starts to initialize the SubModules. This gives us the ability to add SubModules declared in other programming languages like Python and Lua

  []void OnLoadSubModulesPostfix() - will execute just after all SubModules were initialized

  LauncherEx is the UI module. It expands the native launcher with the following features:

  • []Option Tab - provides Game and Engine options, plus the following Launcher options:

  • []Extended Sorting - the launcher now respects the community metadata when sorting. Enabled by default.

    []Compact Module List - allows a more compact display of the Module List. Disabled by default.

    []Fix Common Issues - the launcher checks if 0Harmony.dll is present in the main /bin folder. If there is one, will prompt the user whether to delete it.

    []File Unblocking - the launcher will unblock the .dll's if they are locked itself. Enabled by default.

    []Beta Sorting - uses the new algoritm for sorting modules. Tries to respect existing load order when applying a new load order.

    []Big Mode - extends the height of the Native Launcher window.

    []Save Sub Tab - shows all available saves, some metadata, plus their load order. Allows to continue a specific save and to import/export a save's load order.

    []Scrollbar - the launcher before e1. 7. 2 didn't had a way to scroll without the mouse wheel. We added a scrollbar to fix this.

    []Enable/Disable All Mods Checkbox - added the ability to enable and disable all mods with one click.

    []Resort Modules Button - will forcefully reset the module list and force the raw loaded list to be sorted.

    []Expanded Dependencies Hint - added our community metadata to be displayed in the Hints added in e1. 7. 0.

    []Issue Hint System - the launcher displays an arrow that when expanded, will display why a mod can't be enabled. The issue can be a wrong dependency module version, binary incompatibility with the current game version

    [*]Binary Compatibility Check - the launcher will check whether the are ABI issues in the mod
