Fixed launcher.js not checking the correct return value when verifying the configured Java executable.
Removed debug logging from configmanager.js.
Updated dependencies.
Also abstracted and optimized the common functions for resolving Java between the three supported operating systems.
Changes made to win32 and darwin validations will require testing to ensure everything is functional.
Made the layout for the status container more comprehensive.
Added a spacer to the bottom of news article content.
Disabled tabbing between the landing and news containers.
The registry scan function exited early if no Java Development Key was found. This has been corrected by redoing the exit checks.
Social media buttons now lose focus after they are clicked to prevent a sticky appearance.
Changed the load spinner to have the text rotate within the center image.
Added new configuration option, launchDetached.
Added validation function to ConfigManager to add missing keys (due to updates).
Updated westeroscraft.json
Game process can now be detached from the launcher.
Major improvements to distribution index loading.
Implemented new transitional UI for startup.
If **no** distribution index is loaded on startup, completion of startup will be prevented and the user will be shown a message displaying the issue.
Launch errors are now shown as overlays.
Many more minor fixes and enhancements.
Added News UI and implemented functionality.
Removed westeroscraft.xml as we don't need to cache it.
Updated westeroscraft.json.
Updated Electron to v2.0.0
Updated PackXZExtract to v1.0.1.
If no files are queued for extraction, the step is skipped.
The UI now shows some indication that the extraction is in progress.
The server list is now dynamically generated based on the servers listed in the distribution index. Also, moved to event.key for key bindings as event.keyCode is deprecated.
Basic selection and updating of the selected server has been added. There are a few subtle mechanics which need to be added still, such as keybind shortcuts (enter to submit, etc). In addition, functionality still needs to be added to generate the list of servers from the manifest file.
Fixed a minor issue with the login view.
Updated play button styles.
Updated dependencies.
The temporary span which displayed the selected server has been changed to a button. Clicking this button will open the server selection view. The server selection view is still pending full implementation.
Added warning message when console is opened, this is in preparation for alpha.
Added a new background image. Restored random backgrounds on launch (for now).
Changed the overlay dismiss/cancel buttons from anchors to buttons.
Moved server selection styles to launcher.css, as they are nearly finished.
Moved overlay convenience functions to overlay.js.
Moved launch area (landing.ejs) convenience functions to landing.js.
Various cleanups and documentation also added.
Moved landing.ejs specific scripts to a dedicated file. General cleanup for other script files. Need to examine the remaining code in actionbinder.js to determine the most logical place for it.
The server list is now centered. The minimum height was set to 40%, with a maximum of 65%. The UI will now scale to ideally fit the given number of servers. Four servers can be shown before scrolling enables.
The player count on the landing page is now functional. If the server cannot be reached, the label and value will change to SERVER and OFFLINE, respectively. This behavior can be modified.
Temp folder is deleted when minecraft is closed. If the Node.js process ends abruptly, the folder will not delete. As a dirty way to counter this, the directory we extract native files to is cleaned in the preloader. Maybe we'll come up with a more elegant solution in the future.
You will be given an option to install Java manually. Selecting this will bring you to a final prompt which gives some useful information about installing Java and where you can find help. You have two options on this prompt. The first is to simply aknowledge it, which will dismiss it. The second is to go back to the first prompt.
The darwin frame is the same as the original, however the button behavior is corrected. The win32 frame uses the traditional buttons found on windows. Also added a small logo image to the windows frame. Each frame is dynamically loaded on startup via ejs.
Also disabled the server selection test UI.
