- Overhaul Crash Generator version detection logic, can be modified by game version without recompilation.
- Now a fully native-compiled application, no longer using Python with PyInstaller.
- Changed button and tab colors to "Pip-Boy green".
- Removed hardcoded fallbacks for the program's version. If it can't detect the version of the program, it will now display an error message.
- Add architecture to scan Addictol crash logs.
- Fix C++ GUI not honoring some configuration settings.
- Optimize the orchestrator logic and make the progress bar operate more smoothly by sending updates during the scanning process instead of waiting for the scan to complete.
- Add a bucket system to the crash generator settings rules to allow for more fine-grained control over the reporting of the rules. Currently this is used to promote the Addictol and Buffout 4 conflict rules into the "Error Information" section.
- Add support for targeted crash log scans. This allows you to scan specific crash logs or directories without relying on the standard auto-discovery workflow.
- Overhaul all mod-detection YAML sections to use rules-based structure instead of key-value patterns for more versatility.
- Added code to detect "Fake" Buffout logs and skip setting and version checks. Fake Buffout logs are usually used for Discord bot compatibility, so that assumption is hard-coded for now.
- More stuff I didn't write down.
- Optimize the Form-ID database lookup code.
- Fix database connections not being properly closed on application exit, which caused .db-wal and .db-shm files to persist.
- Fix migration tool path casing to match codebase conventions (
databaseslowercase,Main/Localtitle case). - Simplify the update check code using the GitHub API.
- Improve the version detection logic for the crashlog generator version check.
- Add setting to manually set the concurrency limit for the scan pipeline, defaults to 0 (automatic).
- Match only on AAF.esm for detecting AAF, the level of false positives due to doodlum's Frame Generation plugin was getting too high.
- Replace VR mode with a Game Version dropdown in settings window (VR support is still mostly placeholder because I don't have a VR version of the game to test with, or get data from).
- Fixed thread-related crashes in the update check.
- Multiple thread-safety fixes.
- Window is now resizable and should scale to smaller screens and handle high scaling better.
- Remove the text box and convert messages to either use dialog boxes or the CLI, depending on the mode it's launched in.
- Add progress window (for GUI mode) or CLI progress bar (for CLI) to show scanning progress.
- Many optimizations to the log scanning pipeline.
- Only run FCX checks once and cache the results.
- Added Settings window to the GUI access it by clicking the "Settings" button.
- Remove checkboxes from the main tab as they are now in the settings window. This reclaims a lot of space.
- Articles moved to a separate tab to save space.
- Papyrus log monitoring now uses a dialog box.
- Add verification of auto-detected directories to prevent crashes.
- Fixed the "INI Folder Path" setting being ignored.
- Add Results tab which lists all the reports generated by CLASSIC.
- Add window size persistence on a per-tab basis.
- Many markdown compliance fixes for the reports.
- Some sections that have no content will now be hidden in the report.
- Probably a bunch of other things I forgot to write down.
- Add database of FOLON Form-IDs.
- Make the unsupported game version error non-fatal, it will now simply skip the version-dependent checks.
- Fix Settings file creation on first start.
- This version is not API compatible with previous versions (thus the major version update).
- For Developers: Most business logic has been moved to a separate module called
ClassicLibto make development of applications that use CLASSIC easier. Some of the components are written in Rust and exposed to Python via PyO3 bindings, with native Python fallbacks for now.
- Reduced volume for audio notifications
- Add detection of the GOG version of the game
- Extensive backend changes for better maintainability, which should ease future updates
- Remove Nvidia Reflex recommendation because it is only useful for GPU-locked situations (which are rare in Fallout 4)
- Temporarily remove the pastebin feature until I can make it more stable
- Hopefully fix over-reporting of duplicate INI files
- Probably some other things I forgot to write down
- Add entry for Fourville to the "Mods with Community Solutions" list
- Added two new crashes to the list
- Rewrote the Papyrus Log Monitor
- Add the ability to fetch logs from pastebin
- Minor optimizations and cleanups
- Now queries the registry for the game's install directory first before falling back to parsing the F4SE log
- Add the ability to toggle the audio notifications, also now uses Qt's built-in sound effect library so we no longer need to bundle NumPy (which was a dependency of the old audio library)
- Logs copied from F4SE directory now go into a new "Crash Logs" folder (which is automatically created if it doesn't exist). Existing logs in the main CLASSIC directory will be moved to this folder.
- No longer automatically checks for latest F4SE version since it is obsolete because F4SE is now doing new releases on Nexus.
- Game installation directory is now properly saved to the local data file.
- Removed the FormID database creation code and opted for bundling a premade database There is also a second database for you to add your own mods form ids to, just add the bundled xEdit script in CLASSIC Data to create the list and use the included tools to add them.
- Prompts for INI directory and Game directory will be handled in the GUI
- Fixed typos that prevented the detection of X-Cell in FCX mode.
- Known Issue: The Papyrus log monitor is still a WIP
- CLASSIC now uses a database cache, generated on startup, to improve query speed for the "Show FID Values" feature.
- Fixes the NoneType error, which was caused by the initialization code failing to store the location of the F4SE Address Library.
- FCX mode no longer crashes when duplicate section entries are found in an INI file or a section it's looking for doesn't exist.
- Fix FCX mode for Fallout 4 VR. Turns out F4SEVR also uses the F4SE directory and not a separate F4SEVR directory in the "My Games" folder.
- Add caching code for YAML file lookups to minimize the number of times a file actually needs to be read.
- Add conflict and configuration checks for perchik71's X-Cell mod.
- Bump BA2 Limit check's severity to 6 because any other crash suspects are likely the result of the BA2 limit crash.
- Reclassified loose previsibine files as a CAUTION instead of a NOTICE since current conensus is that loose previsibine files are problematic.
- Add separate core mod list for Fallout: London (Right now, it's pretty much the same as the vanilla one, just removes UFO4P and PRP since they are incompatible with FOLON)
- Brand new UI made with the goal of making the window no longer confined to "650x950". It's still not resizable, but the groundwork is laid to make it scale better for larger resolutions. This new UI also no longer pops up a console window, all console output is now printed in a text box in the main window.
- Custom crash handler that has a button to instantly copy the traceback message to the clipboard.
- Scans now run off the main thread so the window no longer freezes while scans are running.
- Update the current Buffout 4 NG version to 1.35.1.
- Fix plugin tests running when no plugin list was loaded.
- More fixes and optimizations that didn't make the changelogs of the past.
- Papyrus Monitor no longer launches a new instance of CLASSIC.
- Fixed formatting errors in Papyrus Monitor that were hidden by the old display method.
- Revert the initialization threading changes from the previous versions hotfixes.
- Scans run off the main thread, so the window no longer freezes when scans are running.
- Terminal is now embedded into the window, in the text box formerly reserved for the credits.
- Credits have been moved to an about screen, the button for it is next to the help button. I think it looks better like that, anyways.
- No more custom widgets, which will make maintainance and feature development easier.
- Crash dialog with a button to easily copy the traceback to the clipboard.
- The background image, still working on how to integrate it.
- The game selection box, until there are other games to switch to (Skyrim support is coming someday), there's no point for it to be there.
- Add encoding detection to INI file checks to prevent issues with some non-latin encodings
- Update Check will now display in the window instead of the terminal.
- Minor consistency changes
- Bump BA2 Limit check to severity 6 because other suspects might actually be triggered by the BA2 limit.
- Minor backend optimizations
- Fixed plugin detection for FONG logs.
- Add separate core mod list for Fallout: London
- Add Buffout 4 configuration fixes to FCX mode.
- Added conflict between X-Cell and PrivateProfileRedirector (from 7.25.9-hotfix2)
- Add conflict and configuration checks for perchik71's X-Cell mod.
- Check the registry instead of shell32.dll for the location of the "Documents" directory
- Add a cache to the YAML lookup code to improve performance (hopefully)
- Reclassified loose previsibine files as a CAUTION instead of a NOTICE since current conensus is that loose previsibine files are problematic.
- Fix log stat counting.
- Change latest Buffout 4 NG version to 1.35.1
- Further improve exception handling when parsing INI files with FCX mode or Scan Game Files.
- Fix plugin tests not running when loadorder.txt was used instead of a log's plugin section.
- Fix plugin tests running when there was no plugin list loaded.
- Make reading text files more resilient
- Add message informing about the possibility of "False Negatives" with the core mods.
- Changed location FCX mode looks for F4SEVR's log to {docs_directory}\F4SE\f4sevr.log
- Fix
KeyErrors occurring when scanning mod INI files and the section being searched for doesn't exist. - Possible fix for FCX mode not finding Address Library in situations where it should be able to.
- Unofficial Series Only: Redirect update queries to my GitHub page.
- CLASSIC will now generate a cache of the Form-IDs list for faster searching.
- Added tools to add new form-ids or update existing form-ids in the cache.
- Fix Address Library path not being saved in the local data file.
- Only match the first GPU in the log to avoid issues with systems with an AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU.
- Finding duplicate entries in game INI files will no longer cause CLASSIC to crash.
DISCLAIMER: This is just a reflection of my copy of the code and may or may not make it into the final build.
- CLASSIC now automatically creates backups of your game's main EXE files.
- CLASSIC now automatically checks for F4SE updates from the official website.
