v2.5-beta4

Please read this whole page before downloading, or if you're in an extra super duper hurry, read at least the "WARNING: This is a beta release" section...

Changelog v2.5 Beta N°3 => v2.5 Beta N°4

• Added a workaround that mitigate the gzdoom bug where quicksave made with 'BIND [KEY] "SAVE QUICKSAVE.ZDS"' are saved in the wrong folder. Can be enabled in DML 2.X preferences. (#14) .

In order to make the 'BIND F6 "save QUICKSAVE.ZDS" '-thing work:
1)Go into the DML 2.x preferences and enable "Workaround for 'BIND F6 "save QUICKSAVE.ZDS" '".
2)Every time you boot up gzdoom and wish to have a working quicksave, load your quicksave trough the "load" menu.
3)Right after it loads your quicksave, press right away "F6" (Or whatever key you've binded) in order to make a quicksave.

With the workaround you will have 2 quicksave.zds, the "current" one in the dml 2.X and the "old" one in the gzdoom "Save".
The "current" one is the one thats gets updated each time you save for the current gzdoom session, the "old" one gets replaced with the "current" one once you close gzdoom.
This way the next time you open gzdoom your last quicksave will be available.
If you don't quicksave after loading, and you try to quickload, gzdoom will now always quickload from the "old" quicksave until you close it.
Note that this as the name suggest, it's a workaround for something happening on the gzdoom side and in which I have zero control, it works for now but it may break with future gzdoom updates.

Changelog v2.4 => v2.5 Beta N°4

• In order to make DML 2.X more portable, the DMLv2.ini now store just the name and not the whole path of the alternative sourceport configuration file (#9) .
• The "please insert a preset name" error message as now an error icon instead of a information one (#18).
• Added a workaround that mitigate the gzdoom bug where quicksave made with 'BIND [KEY] "SAVE QUICKSAVE.ZDS"' are saved in the wrong folder. Can be enabled in DML 2.X preferences. (#14) .

WARNING: This is a beta release

Please keep in mind that this release is to be considered as a beta software, because I still haven't fully tested it yet. It may be unstable, crash, become sentient etc... so use with at your discretion... as you may r̴͇̘̩̰̐ě̵̗̲̳d̴͉̥͚̥͇̃̿̾̄͝a̴̮͐̋̎̑̾ć̴̟̌̾̉ṯ̶̦͗̃́̀͝ę̸̱̲̉͝d̸̫̟̱̀͒̉͜͝
While using any release of DML 2.X tagged as "beta", ignore the "new version" notification, as those are linked to the official stable releases, not with the beta ones.
As any release I made of this software, this one also gets detected as "Malicius" on virus total by Malwarebytes (+ some other AVs). As they never really fix the detection but usually just whitelist the single exe, everytime I made a new version I have to go again trough the process of contacting each antivirus and report my software as a false positive. Now I've stopped doing that for beta releases, so be advised that your antivirus may report it as a threat: it's not. But you don't have to belive me, as "don't worry, it's safe " it's exactly what a malicius developer will say about his not-so-safe software, so feel free to take a look to the sourcecode and compile it yourself if you wish.

How to update from an older DML version

• DML v2.2 (or newer): You can just replace the old .exe with the new one keeping all your configuration files, and it should work right away, but just to be extra safe, go ahead and make a backup before updating, so if it messes up your presets or configuration files you can restore them without the need of re-configure everything from scratch. If you still have the "P36_UTILITIES.dll" you can safely delete it as it's no longer used since v2.2b.
• DML v2.1: Move all the contents of %AppData%\Roaming\P36_Software\DMLv2\ inside the CONFIG folder next to dml exe, then follow the v2.2 (or newer) instructions.
• DML v2.0/v2.0b: You have to first download the 2.1 version, go trough the presets update procedure (explained in the 2.1 readme) and then follow the v2.1 instructions.
• DML v1.0/v1.1: There is no way to update from 1.X to 2.X, you will have to recreate your presets from scratch.

Where is the README v2.5.txt?

Beta version prior to the release candidate usually comes without a readme file, as usually it's the last thing I update, if you need a readme, the 2.4 readme it's still valid for most of the software.
