Release 1.2.4

NEW FEATURES

• Settings page
  • Found in the top right corner, right next to the minimize button, you can now disable auto-updates, both for Viper and for Northstar updates, separately, you can also change your launch arguments, and change which files stay after updates.
    • Your launch arguments may or may not be reset when first launching Viper after the update.
    • We recommend not changing the "Retain files on update"'s value, unless you know what you're doing.
• Prioritize Viper updates over Northstar updates
  • This means before we update Northstar we first make sure there's no Viper update, this stops potential issues if Northstar were to change the way they publish releases, it's an unlikely scenario, however it's a safety precaution we've decided to take.

FIXED BUG

Default system language should now be selected the first time you launch Viper, for people updating Viper, no change has been made, keep in mind we only have English, French and Spanish localizations.

Release 1.2.3

NEW FEATURE

You can now drag and drop mod files and folders onto Viper and we'll try and install and put it where it's supposed to be. This won't work 100% of the time, but if the mod is formatted like it should be, it'll work as intended.

BUG FIX

If you clicked "Install Mod" and then didn't select a mod but just cancelled the file selector the buttons would stay disabled and never re-enable, a restart was needed to fix. This is no longer the case :)

Release 1.2.2

BUG FIXES

• Bumped follow-redirects to 1.14.8 to fix vulnerability
• Fixed a bug with the excluded files never being renamed back
  • This would essentially lead to your ns_args files not actually being used, however they weren't deleted, and this should restore them, if you never noticed them being gone then this isn't so important for you :)

Release 1.2.1

BUG FIX

• A Windows-only bug that would make an error window pop up every so often
  • Dismissing it would actually let you keep using Viper, however it'd pop-up right afterwards again. I've still yet to understand why this bug only occurs on Windows, but regardless, it's fixed now.

Release 1.2.0

THUNDERSTORE SUPPORT

We now officially have support for the Thunderstore, which allows you to find mods directly inside Viper without having to manually download and upload them, almost all mods should be able to install just fine, and the few that don't are often because of the author's fault. Most of those packages that can't install have already been fixed. But what does allow you to do, put simply:

• You no longer have to manually download the mods and upload them
• You can easily upload, remove, or toggle all the mods with ease
• You can easily search through all the mods

This is overall a very big improvement, and something that'll be very useful! So we hope everybody will enjoy it. To find these mods, simply navigate to the mods section, and click the "Find Mods" button.

Release 1.1.0

NEW FEATURES

• Auto detection of game path
  • We now try to auto detect the game path making it far easier to use Viper
  • This works best on Windows, and should auto detect both if you're using Steam or Origin
  • An "experimental" Linux version is already present but only for Steam, for obvious reasons
• Spanish translation, Hola!
• Brand new logo, very good looking!

BUG FIX

• Mod list not updating when selecting new game path
  • It should now update without requiring you to restart Viper first

Release 1.0.3

NEW FEATURE

• Minimize button #47 #49
  • Some users requested a minimize button, so here it is!

MISCELLANEOUS

• Fixed improper crediting (link)
  • Some people weren't credited properly we fixed that!
• We added more documentation to the code #46
  • This doesn't affect users, but makes the code easier to navigate for contributors

Release 1.0.2

BUG FIXES

• Updated marked and follow-redirects
  • They both had vulnerabilities that needed an update to patch
• Fixed scroll overflow when you've too many mods
• Fixed error if in a certain circumstance the mods folder didn't exist #40

Release 1.0.1

BUG FIX

• Fixed fs-extra missing

Release 1.0.0

BRAND NEW UI

We've been working on a new UI for a very long time, a week or two, and it's finally at a stage where we want to release it, even if I'm mildly biased I will say it looks kinda slick and amazing. The UI is both far easier to navigate, but it also brings new features like:

• Release notes
  • For both Northstar and Viper
• Prettier animations
• Various links and credits

NEW FEATURES

Besides the new UI we actually have a lot of features that we've released alongside it!

• Mod support
  • You can now, disable, remove and install mods
• Auto updating Northstar in the background
  • Very helpful!
• Various quality of life changes

BUG FIXES

We've also fixed quite a few bugs and other annoying problems, to give you a smoother experience!

NOTICE!

This version had a bug that stopped Viper from being able to work, however it was fixed in v1.0.1

This is simply a notice that this release was more or less borked... It is only here for historical purposes...
