SharkyNebula Geek, thank you for continuing to making the mac users happy through your relentless work on Wine Nova
jeffbyrnes I just discovered this yesterday, and ended up playing a couple of ours of EV classic (TC) thanks to this. Thanks so much much for this labor of love! A lovely bit of history I get to replay.
Geek Big update available I’m happy to announce the release of WineNova Beta 2.10.0, incorporating Revision 4 of the Community Edition of EV Nova along with a few additional features and enhancements. Changes: Full support for .nplay launches. “nPlay Fast Launch” runs your scenario in EV Nova immediately, while changing none of WineNova’s settings. If this is turned off, launching from .nplay will update WineNova’s scenario setting if needed, and allow you to change other settings before playing. The 2X Mode hotkey can be changed. Several preset options are available, but you may also use the “Custom” option to enter your own Windows Virtual Key Code and label. There is a “Help” button to direct you to an online guide for these key codes, if needed. Various tweaks to the launch script to improve efficiency, and comments added. Updated all folder/file tests so that the WineNovaLastRun log displays names for the folders and files tested, not file paths. Private information like your user account name will no longer appear in a log. For a complete list of changes to the Community Edition, see Guy’s GitHub page. Additional bug fixes: Fixed bug when using nPlay with Fast Launch off, where link validation failed due to a missing slash in a variable string. Thanks for making me find it, JazVolt! Fixed launch bug caused by the presence of a legacy WineNova support folder (titled "EV Nova") without the Nova preferences file in a certain location. Thanks, BlackMage! Fixed launch bug due to .plist file not being initialized if already present, but containing the wrong keys. Thanks, BlackMage! Additional feature added during testing: An option to quit from the Settings window. You're welcome, JazVolt! See top post for links.
