Hi! :)

We would like to announce that
program will become free on 14th September.

Here is why.

Unfortunately, after 8 months since reveal program is still unknown.
User base is very small. We are speaking about 3-digit number.

Program was completely ignored by all larger gaming sites
and it's very hard to get popular without media coverage.

We hoped users will help us to add support for more games,
but with current user base it's not feasible.

With all this in mind we have decided to make it free.
At the same time Special Edition DLC price will be increased.

We talked a lot with Valve about how to reward current users,
especially those who purchased program / Special Edition.
Some received it via giveaways. Also some streamers got it for free.

Unfortunately, in our case there is not much we can do.
We can only offer discount for Special Edition:
50% discount for 7 days.
Discount will be activated today.

A quick reminder what is so special about Special Edition:
- dark mode
- PNG screenshots manager that moves screenshots into nicely named subdirectories
- extra "Thank you" message on title bar
There is also support for multiple Steam accounts.
While it might be less appealing when program will become free,
PNG screenshot manager uses it so you can manage screenshots on all accounts.
More features will be added in future.

Last but not least: big big thanks for being with us! :)

If you do not have program, it would be best to wait couple of days
and get it when it will be free.

So finally Community Pack idea materialized :)

Big thanks go to NoProsNoNoobs for adding support for following games:
- Fallout 4
- Fallout 76
- Fallout New Vegas

He was rewarded with Special Edition DLC key for this effort.

If you want to get some keys for free, this is one option.
You can also spread the word. Check this topic:

Along with Community Pack comes version 1.6.
Support for Community Pack distributed via Steam system was added.
Custom Community Pack via URL set in options is still supported,
but new way is official way.
Modding documentation was updated based on NoProsNoNoobs experience
with adding support for games.

Version 1.5 brings following changes:
* added screenshot manager (requires Special Edition)
* added support for launch parameters with '/' character
* added "widescreen-fix" tweak
* added "widescreen-fix" field for tweaks
* added "config-value-float" tweak:
- used by Widescreen Fixes Pack configs
* added support for // comment after value in "Key = Value" / "INI" configs:
- used by Widescreen Fixes Pack configs



At the moment screenshot manager will move PNG screenshots into nicely names subdirectories.
Let us know if you would like to convert PNG screenshots into JPG.
With some size estimation, so they will have better quality than default JPG screenshots,
but will take less space than PNG screenshots.

Thanks to above changes support for existing games has been improved:
* Max Payne 1:
- added Widescreen Fix installer tweak and "Override FOV" tweak
* Max Payne 2:
- added Widescreen Fix installer tweak and "Override FOV" tweak

Version 1.4 brings following changes:
* launch parameters are now injected when game is started with "Launch game" button
* added "config-raw" tweak
* added "config-raw-value" tweak
* added "registry-string" tweak
* "registry" and "registry-value" tweaks support NULL default value:
- just like "registry-string" tweak
* added support for JSON config
* Notepad++ is now launched for XML configs when "Edit config" button is clicked:
- Notepad++ must be installed in default directory
* Notepad++ is now launched for configs with non-Windows line endings when "Edit config" button is clicked:
- Notepad++ must be installed in default directory

Thanks to above changes support for existing games has been improved:
* Aliens versus Predator Classic 2000:

Hi there!

We hope you are doing well :)

Here are details about new version 1.3:

• added second EXE that runs without administrator rights:
  - should fix "Unable to initialize Steam" error
  
• added integration with LUA scripting language:
  - used to transform values between UI and config for value tweaks
  
• Edit config button opens menu when there are multiple configs
  
• Notepad++ is now launched for XML configs when "Edit config" button is clicked:
  - Notepad++ must be installed in default directory
  
• improved processing of Quake 3 Engine configs
  
• comments in XML configs are now retained
  
• added "transform-function" field for "config-value" and "registry-value" tweaks
  
• added new point in Important information dialog about possibility to add more games

Now when program is started Steam will give you option to run two executables.
Default which is recommended and non-admin which should be run only
when there is problem with Steam initialization.

Also support for games improved:

• added support for following games:
  - Alien: Isolation
  - Mirror's Edge
  - Star Wars: Battlefront 1 (2004)
  - Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (2005)
  - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1
  - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2
  - Star Wars: Republic Commando
  - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2
  - Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
  - Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast
  
• necessary transformation of FOV values is now performed (thanks to LUA) for following games:
  - Firewatch
  - Metro Exodus
  - Thief (2014)
  - TimeShift
  
• corrected toggle windowed mode combination for a couple of games

Program will now transform FOV via LUA script for some games.
For example FOV for Firewatch is stored in very unconventional way,
and quite complex calculations are needed.



Now you can just enter FOV you want and it will be converted :)

Take care and stay safe!

We have added support for Metro Exodus.
It's very demanding game but does not have too many graphics options.
Unfortunately, not much more is available through config file.
Yet, we managed to prepare some tweaks.



Following games are now supported, too:
- Dishonored 2
- Dungeon Siege 1
- Dungeon Siege 2
- Dungeon Siege 3

PS. Take care! ;-)

It's here, finally (version 1.1)!

Today is the day! Program is available for everyone :)

You will download version 1.1, which was prepared in cooperation
with Achievement Hunting: https://achievementhunting.com.

It brings options that allow to hide some tweaks for games with achievements:
* patches and mods
* gameplay changes
* other changes incompatible with Achievement Hunting rules
Also cheats for all games can be hidden, if you are not interested.
