1.0.6
Release Notes Version 1.0.6
Added auto-correction for the pinemhi/pinemhi.ini file
Currently, only the path for Visual Pinball is corrected automatically. The path information in the pinemhi.ini file had to be corrected manually in older versions.
Added release notes link to update dialog
Because it's nice to know what's going on.
Added lazy ROM lookup
When the VPin Extensions service is started, newly added tables will be automatically scanned. In previous versions, table scans for new tables had to be triggered from the UI. This is not required anymore.
Added lookup for "Visual Pinball" installation folder
Instead of simply showing an error message, the Visual Pinball is now tried to be resolved automatically. Only if the different attempts fail, an error is thrown.
Added Blur Effect
Added the option to blur the background image of the overlay and highscore cards. The effect results in a higher contrast for the actual scores, therefore in a better readability.
Added System Tray Menu
Added system tray icon with menu entries for changing the service status and access the log file.
Fixed Image Upload
The image upload for other background images was broken and has been fixed.
Fixed Overlay Background Image Selection
While another image was selected, the value did not update in the UI.
Fixed Calculation of Card Rendering
There have been some issues with the card rendering. While it was possible to create a propery card layout, there have been some calculation errors in the backend. Because of these errors, the card design has to be re-calibrated, so please check your card layout after updating.
DirectB2S Background Images
Inspired by user "jack sparrow", the highscore cards can now be generated using the background image of directb2s files. If the flag is enabled, the background image from the selected table will be extracted from the directb2s file and used as a background image.
Because these images differ in size and ratio, a ratio has to be selected in this case. Otherwise the card sizes may differ from table to table and the generated text may not fit or is too small.
DirectB2S Image Preview
The table overview got an additional column for the directb2s files. You can preview the "raw" background image of the directb2s file there.
Logging Logging Logging
Added an initial startup check which logs all the important installation information. This should reveal possible problems for all the different setups that are out there.
