Version 1.23

This version was released on May 16, 2019.

Launcher

General

  • Added the -uppercasetext and -lowercasetext command line arguments. These make all the localisable text in the Mod Launcher and messages it shows upper or lower case respectively.
  • Made it so file/folder browse dialogues fall back to Windows XP style versions in the event the Mod Launcher or .NET fail to create Windows Vista style dialogues.
    • This resolves an issue where this happened on Windows 10 1809 when using a High Contrast theme.
    • This was also able to happen on Windows 7 with Disable visual themes ticked in the executable's compatibility settings.

Mods List

  • Added a Non-enabled Favourites category.
  • Added a Descriptionless Hacks category when using the -testing command line argument.
  • Added the existing shortcut keys to the right click menu items for Search..., Pages and Reload.

Launcher Settings

Fixed an issue where Copy Require Line was disabled in the right click menu of Hack Support on the Non-mod Hacks page (which is only visible with Show Advanced Hacks ticked).

Account Integration

Added the -nodtcomms command line argument. This disables Donut Team Account Integration.

Localisation

There are some fixes and improvements to localisation in this version as well as new strings.

  • Fixed an issue where the Jump List tickbox on the Manage Configurations... window did not correctly handle being repositioned/resized with language localisation.
  • Made non-ingame messages from the Custom Files, Custom Save Data, Debug Test and Screenshots hacks support language localisation.

A new template language (Template_1.23.xml) was published on Lucas' Simpsons Hit & Run Mod Launcher Localisation Templates including all the new strings.

New Hacks

Custom Controller Support

Added this new advanced hack that other hacks can use to extend the game's controller support.

Direct3D 9

Added this new hack that makes the game use Direct3D 9 instead of Direct3D 8.

This may be helpful when trying to use 3rd party tools such as ReShade.

XInput

Added this new hack that makes the game use XInput instead of DirectInput for controllers/gamepads.

This has various advantages over DirectInput:

  • Makes controller rumble work.
    • This can be disabled in the hack's settings.
  • Makes the game compatible with Steam's controller support when launching the Mod Launcher through Steam as a non-Steam game.
  • Makes it so you can plug in new controllers while the game is running.

Currently, DirectInput only controllers will not work with this hack enabled and only one trigger can be used at a time. You can bind actions to both but they cannot be pressed at the same time.

Updated Hacks

Hack Support

  • Added the -hookd3d command line argument.
  • Added the -nohandlefilenotfound command line argument.
  • Added the -nohardwareskinning and -hardwareskinning command line arguments.
  • Added the -noreloadcarcameradata command line argument.
  • Fixed an issue where the Direct3D hook in this hack caused the game to reset the Direct3D device redundantly once at startup.
  • Made this hack block the game from resetting the Direct3D device when it's not necessary.
    • Also added the -noblockredundantreset command line argument to opt out of this.
  • Made the game terminate abruptly with no message or crash dump in the case that an exception occurs in the hack window procedure event (instead of letting Windows swallow the exception and likely cause corruption).

No Cursor Until Mouse Move

  • Added a description to this hack.
  • Made this hack only show the cursor if it moves more than 5 pixels on either axis. This tolerance is customisable in the hack's settings (0 meaning any movement and -1 meaning the old behaviour where it will show up any time the window receives a mouse move event even if the cursor's position doesn't change).
    • Also added the Tolerance setting to customise this.
