HyperLaunch v3.1.0.0 Beta

djvj · Dec 24, 2014

HyperLaunch has been updated to v3.1.0.0 BETA

This is considered an Open Beta for everyone to take part in. I do suggest everyone update, as all prior versions will not be supported as there has been far too many changes and we have moved away from many old ways of doing things in the code. Those of you who want to update your live versions can do so, but understand this is still a beta and the goal is to work out any existing bugs that the beta team and devs have not encountered or have just completely forgotten about

.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the brolly and bleasby, whom without all this would not be possible. Also the beta team who has been a great help getting here and reporting and in some cases fixing bugs over the past months.

This beta release also makes the first time HyperLaunch is completely Front End independent! We are not tied to any FE and all of them are treated equally. HyperLaunch uses a plugin system to read FE-dependent database info. As time goes on, we will release Plugins for other FEs, or if any of you want to make them for us, please don't hesitate! Just open up the plugins folder and build off the existing ones. We aim to support every major FE out there.

Also want to say Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all our users and fans and their families out there.

Required Install Instructions:

Backup your current HyperLaunch folder in case you want to restore! We are not responsible for lost settings or Media
Update your HyperLaunch install through GIT to the lastest version.
Copy all files from the GIT folder, to your HyperLaunch folder, overwriting everything. Do not use the Module Updater for this initial update, you must use GIT.
Delete your HyperLaunchHQ\Settings\HyperLaunchHQ.ini (it has been restructured and will be recreated for you)
HyperPause uses new default values for support on 1920x1080 screen scale. You should delete the "Global HyperPause.ini" file in your HyperLaunch\Settings folder and let HyperLaunch create a new one.
Open your HyperlaunchHQ, go to the Settings tab, and select the Fade - General tab. Click on the folder icon and load the default fade profile. Default is now Zero Dreams fade. If you have any system specific Fade settings, you may need to do the same thing.
In HyperlaunchHQ, goto the HyperlaunchHQ tab, then the Frontends tab. Here you will see your list of currently configured frontends. For thsoe using Hyperspin, select Hyperspin and click the icons above to set it as your active and deault frontend.
Enjoy the new HyperLaunch features and post any issues/experiences on this forum only.

Changelog:

HyperLaunch (updated to v3.1.0.0 BETA):

Add support for different screen orientations for vertical games, rotating monitors and cocktail cabs. HyperPause, fade, instruction cards, password, multigame and rom mapping launch menu works on 0º, 90º, 180º and 270º.
HyperLaunchLog shows a warning when User Functions.ahk or User Functions Init.ahk are missing.
i18n localization support: Non-English users now have certain parts of the modules converted automatically in memory to their language. For example "Open" converts to "Abrir" if you use a Portuguese Windows.
New file that provides the translation mapping: HyperLaunch\Data\Language\Localization.ini
HyperLaunch now supports launching the MultiGame feature on launch. This gives you the ability to only have one disc for example, in your database and give a disc selection instead. You must have MG enabled, and also the new setting MultiGame_On_Launch.
HyperLaunch will error if you set your keymapper to something other than xpadder or joytokey (like if it's blank)
Log now states if the User Functions.ahk is not found
Fixed a bug that HL would think a rom was picked from rom mapping when it wasn't
Fixed a bug when Fade was enabled but Statistics was not, would cause a missing function error.
Fixed a couple RomTableCheck scenarios that would stall HL when it shouldn't be.
7z will no longer try to determine if you have enough free space on a network drive to extract to as this number is not visible to windows.
7z now creates the 7zExtractPath if it does not exist already and reports correctly when the drive does not exist or it couldn't write to that drive.
When debug or greater logging is enabled, the extraction progress of 7z gets dumped to the log.
ExitModule now declares when it has started to prevent other functions from starting during the exit routine when they shouldn't be.
The default font is now automatically installed if it was not installed already. This will also install any fonts residing in the HL Media's Font folder too if they are used.
PCLauncher uses its own HideCursor setting, so when using this module and you want to control the mouse visibility, it must be set in PCLauncher module settings. The normal HL setting will not apply.
CreateRomTable will no longer be created on exit. This should speed up exiting in some scenarios when it was unnecessarily being created.
Fixed a bug when using the Rom Map menu and a valid extension was not found from your defined extensions.
Player Select Menu GUI now can be called from any module
HyperLaunch now accepts a system xml when a default (Hyperspin Main Menu.xml) is not found. File should be located in .\Data\Databases\Systems.xml. For convenience, it should be the same format as the Hyperspin Main Menu.xml
When a Hyperspin Main Menu.xml nor a HyperLaunch Systems.xml can be found and direct launching the HyperLaunch.exe, the system selection drop down list is replaced with an edit box where user can type in a system name manually.
HideEmu now logs each unique window it finds and hides as a debug log entry.
HideEmu now hides emus on exit when enabled.
Replaced all Includes with FileReads. This should eliminate the bug where ahk would randomly try to include a file with the wrong path. No performance hit in this change.
Only files are allowed by default when a CheckFile() is called.
HyperLaunch now skips checking for romPaths and a romExtension if a fullpath to your rom was supplied via CLI. This can speed up launching slightly, especially if you have a lot of paths and extensions defined in HLHQ. Some FEs support this.
HyperLaunch now errors if the rom name contains the characters [ or ]
Version info for libraries are now reported to the log when troubleshooting mode is enabled.
New protection in place to prevent users from setting their 7zExtractTemp anywhere inside (above) their romPath. This would cause someone to delete their rom folder.
New Function - OpenROM - standardizes and replaces the old loop method used to interact with an emulators "Open" rom window. Module authors can call this method instead of recreating the lengthy and confusing loop method.
New Function - SetKeyDelay - standardizes and logs the use of SetKeyDelay and also allows HL to keep track of the current pressDelay in effect.
New Function - SendCommand - TBA
New Function - SplitPath - Supports UNC/SMB paths and multiple periods in the filename.
New Function - GetHLMediaFiles - Standardizes and logs gathering of all the media files HL uses.
New Function - Steam - Steam was removed from PCLauncher and made into its own function and able to be called from any module
New Function - Origin - Origin was removed from PCLauncher and made into its own function and able to be called from any module
New Function - DxwndIniRW/DxwndRun/DxwndClose - DXWnd can now be called from any module as it is considered an extension and has been provided its own set of functions to control it.
New Function - Rotate - Allows global support for rotating your screen on any module that calls it.
New Feature - HyperLaunch now has a Debug Console to show the log in real-time!
New Feature - HyperLaunch will validate cue and gdi files when using Daemon Tools support. It will also not allow mounting of images with mp3 audio tracks as DT does not support these.
New Feature - HyperLaunch now accepts proper CLI switches and in any order to better support other FEs simultaneously and multiple methods of launching. -s <System_Name>, -r <Database_Name>, -m <HL_Mode>, -p <Plugin>, -f <FE_Path>
New Feature - HyperLaunch now accepts a new CLI switch "-e", which will force a game to load via the sent mapped Emulator name or full path to a Emulator you want to load. Usage -e <Emulator_Name> or -e "<Emulator_Full_Path>"
New Feature - HyperLaunch now accepts a new CLI switch "-d", which will force a game to load via the sent mapped Module name or full path to a module you want to load. Usage -d <Module_Name> or -d "<Module_Full_Path>"
New Feature - Custom cursors can now be loaded by placing a cursor file into your HL Media Cursor folder. (ex. HyperLaunch\Media\Cursors\Nintendo DS\_Default\stylusred.cur)
New Feature - Lock Launch - Can be applied globally, per system, or per game.
[*=1]Standard (true) lock - Prevent games from launching that you want to keep in your database but do not want to remove. Will simply return to your FE if you launch one of these.
[*=1]Password lock - Need to input a password to launch. Password is any combination of directional keys (your HyperLaunch Navigation keys) up to 15 keys in length.
[*=1]DirectOnly - Prevented from being launched normally, but can launch HP, MG, or Fade normally to view those features without actually launching the game.

HyperPause (updated to v1.0.6):

Fix to bug avoiding multigame to use hyperlaunch artwork located at HyperLaunch\Multigame\systemname\gamename folder.
Support for media\_Default folders on videos, artwork, controllers, guides and manuals (requested by potts43).
Improved save state overwritten images code (made a list of images to be deleted and try to empty the list at every HyperPause exit).
Changed screenshot function. (thks horseyhorsey, http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?27301-Some-questions-about-saves-amp-their-screen-grabs/page3).
Added support for saving screenshot as BMP,DIB,RLE,JPG,JPEG,JPE,JFIF,GIF,TIF,TIFF and PNG (the default now is jpg because the smaller footprint) (If saving as jpg (JPG,JPEG,JPE,JFIF) then quality can be 1-100 with default at maximum quality). Controlled by the hyperpause ini keys: Screenshot_Extension and Screenshot_JPG_Quality (these should be moved to HyperLaunch ini files on a final release).
Improved code to make sure that bezel is restored well after HyperPause exit. (thks horseyhorsey, http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?30827-Making-emu-appear-above-bezel-after-HP-exit).
Added support for creating a color behind the HyperPause background, for filling the screen if a background image is smaller than the screen resolution. (requested by wiggles http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?30881-Hyperpause-background-images). (controled by hyperpause ini key Background_Color on ini section: [Main Menu Appearance Options].
Fix to statistics game names overlap.
Updated. If no HyperSpin game video is found, HyperPause will look for its parent video (http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?34389-HyperPause-Videos)
Updated. Changed HyperPause mute when start code to only mute the sound coming from the emulator (only supported at Windows Vista and above, on XP the master sound will be muted instead).
Updated. Added font exist check.
Small changes in the code for diverse motives.
Updated. HyperPause now only mutes the emulator sound while loading if this option is selected. It works for vista and above. For XP and bellow it still works like previously mutting the master sound instead of only the emulator sound.
General description:

HyperPause is now completly FrontEnd independent.
In order to do it I had to complete rewrite the code that handles the assets to be shown on the HyperPause Menus.
I REALLY NEED A HUGE BETA TESTING EFFORT FOR FINDING ANY ISSUES BECAUSE OF TE HUGE AMOUNT OF CHANGES THAT THIS REQUIRED.

Added support for using parent media on all HyperPause media assets. Set HyperPause_Use_Parent_Game_Media_Assets to true to enable it. (Requested by Turranius http://www.hyperlaunch.net/forum/sh...e-media-for-clones&p=2143&viewfull=1#post2143 )
Added support for automatically use any plugin defined FrontEnd Assets on HyperPause (backgrounds, wheels, artwork, controller images, manuals, guides, videos).
Added support for the Moves List sub menu to enter in full screen mode from the submenu entry directly (Requested by Dogway).
Added support for the History sub menu to enter in full screen mode from the submenu entry directly (Requested by Dogway).
Added support for the Video sub menu to enter in full screen mode from the submenu entry directly (Requested by Dogway).
Added support for render PDF pages only when you are above the respective label. Set HyperPause_Load_PDF_On_Label to true to enable it. (Requested by Dogway).
Screenshots are now showed for last on the artwork menu. (Requested by Dogway).
Added changes to create the screenshots folder only when necessary. (Requested by Dogway).
Changed wheel code on HyperPause to use only game wheels defined by the AssetType
Changed background on HyperPause to use only game (fe and hp media), and if not found, use system files
NEW - Added CBR and CBZ support for menus on hyperpause (manuals, guides, artwork, controller).
NEW - Updated pdf ghoscript call to use the maximumHeight parameter
FIXED - bug on 7z images compressed not working
FIXED - HyperPause bug with pdf entire conversion code.
NEW - Added support for hyperpause disc change to use fe media assets.
FIXED - HyperPause multidisc multiple entries bug. Thanks rfancella for finding and reporting it.
NEW - Added pdf page layout support. Now you can define how your pdf files will be displayed on HyperPause. (Requested by Dogway). Brolly did most of the hard work for adding that. Options are:
1page - Displays 1 page at a time (what we have now)
2pages - Displays 2 page at a time horizontally
coverup - Same as 2pages, but the first page will be displayed as a single page
frompdf - Reads page layout info from the actual PDF file and follows that setting
Changed the temp hyperpause folders to include the systemName (requested by brolly).
Added: while loading a new pdf page that is not yet converted, the previous page will remain in the screen and a centered text message will say "Loading New Page" while the page is being loaded (requested by brolly).

Fade (updated to v1.0.5):

Added support for Zero Dreams fade animation. Make sure that you have the required files on your media folder, and just load the hyperlaunchhq fade profile named "Zero Dreams fade.ini" to use this fade screen instead of the default one. To reload the default one you just need to load the profile named "Default fade.ini".
Added support for showing extraction remaining and elapsed time on fade screen (Requested by Sir Cyrano: http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?33512-Progress-Bar-With-Timer&highlight=remaining)
Added support for producing the efects introduced by Unknown50862 on the fade loading screen automatically for any system. (Controlled by the option Fade_Layer_3_Shadow_Image_Transparency. http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/s...hlight=Unified+Megatheme+Fade/Loading+Screens).
Updated. Added support for mute emulator sounds while fade is active (only supported at Windows Vista and above, on XP the master sound will be muted instead).
Updated. Complete GUI code and fade animation rewrite to support fade animations to work during the fade in delay and fade in exit delay.
NEW - Added the possibility to use the background images on the HyperLaunch\Bckgrounds folder as fade layer 1 background. Controlled by ini key named: Fade_Use_Backgrounds, default = false (Allows use of media placed in the Backgrounds folder for Fade backgrounds.).
NEW - Added support for using plugin defined feMedia background assets.

Bezel (updated to v1.0.7):

Fixed bug with layout mode.
Fixed multiscreens bug with Pico drive.
Added support for overlay on multiscreens mode.
Added screen offset support for multiscreens bezels.
Fixed bug with games that have numeric names being wrongly considered as multiscreen games.
A few improvements to avoid running code without need to speed up a little things.
Fixed bug with instruction card scrolling text showing after exiting instruction card menu.
Changed the IC menu scale factor to be calculated from the height of the screen because it made more sense than using the screen width.
Added option to start game with ICs showing, randomly or not. Requested by mmg1design ( the instruction cards maker ) (http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/s...uction-Card-with-Cheats-Info-Display-question)
Added option to enable ICs random Slide Show. The default value is 0 (=disable). You can change it for the amount of milliseconds that you between ICs changes. If you press any of the IC change keys the slide sho will stop. Requested by mmg1design. (http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/s...uction-Card-with-Cheats-Info-Display-question)
Added support for defining ICs scalling through file name.
Added support for new file name convention
Updated. Background and overlay files named equal and at the same folder of the currrent selected bezel have priority to be showed. Requested by rfancella.
Updated. Added support for saving bezel selected (if true, everytime that you open a game the last choosen bezel will be loaded at beginning)
Updated. Added support for saving ICs selected (if true, everytime that you open a game the last choosen ICs will be showed). You should combine it with enabling the "display on startup" option to take advantage of it.
Updated. Added support for option Extra_FullScreen_Bezel. If true, it creates automatically a transparent bezel that fills the entire screen. This is useful to simulate a full screen windowed game. (this is very emulator dependable, and it will work better with emus that support normal bezel mode).
Updated. Added support on clone games for looking for bezel and ICs on parent folders.
NEW - added the possibility to use the background images on the HyperLaunch\Bckgrounds folder as bezel background. Controlled by the bezel ini key named: Use_Backgrounds, default = false (Allows use of media placed in the Backgrounds folder for Bezel backgrounds.).
NEW - Bezel now supports more image files: png, gif, tif, bmp and jpg (before it would only support png files). New ini key: Bezel_Supported_Image_Files, limits the image extensions that should be searched on the bezel code.
NEW - Added a if statement on the beginning of all bezel functions for checking if bezelEnabled = "true". This will allow to change at any time before the bezelDraw function call the bezel state at a game basis. In the future this could be handled either directly by hyperlaunch or through a module code settings (in order to work on a module, it requires that the bezel is enabled on HLHQ, because the bezel files will be only included on hyperlaunch on that case.
NEW - Added support for using plugin defined feMedia background assets.
NEW - Added setting to enable/disable IC cards from being used, even if they exist. Default is disabled. So for those who use ICs, be sure to enable this option globally or for just those systems you want to use them on.

PS: All bezels and ICs options can be changed at a global, system or game basis. The first two are changed as usual using HLHQ. The third one need some ini editing.
For example, if I want to enable the startup randomly showed IC for the sf2 game on MAME, I just need to create the file: C:\HyperSpin\HyperLaunch\Settings\MAME\sf2\bezel.ini and set the option inside it like this:

Code:

[Instruction Cards Visibility]
IC_Toggle_Visibility_Key=true

Just copy the bezel.ini file from the system folder (C:\HyperSpin\HyperLaunch\Settings\MAME\bezel.ini) to the game folder (C:\HyperSpin\HyperLaunch\Settings\MAME\sf2\bezel.ini) if you have any doubt about the options available.

The Multigame menu is now Frontend independent.
Replaced the hyperspin window class reference for the plugin defined variable.
Removed the obsolete mgArtworkDir option.
Added support for using plugin defined feMedia background assets.
Added support for using plugin defined feMedia disc asset.

Updated Keymapper.ahk. Fixed a bug with controller names that have trailing white spaces in their names in the registry. Fixed a dllcall that would prompt the uac when running from a shared drive. (thanks Ghutch)
All uses of "Process" are now using the HyperLaunch function and now the straight ahk command.
Fixed unloading of ahk profiles

XHotkey (updated to v1.0.2):

XHotkey library updated to show some basic logs on when it is used and what keys use standard or extended hotkey support.

I look forward to many hours of configuring. thanks again!!!

Merry Christmas All! Thanks so much Hyperlaunch team!
I'm sure it was hard work just to push this so we could have it during our Christmas holiday.

djvj · Dec 24, 2014

Just FYI, because of the holidays, the dev team cannot respond to fixes for a few days. If I can get around to any thing before then I will. Just keep the posts going on issues.

I have not been much around these last months but that update motivates me to give HS a bit of love and beta test this baby.

Thanks guys for your time!

No bugs found yet but one observation: (for Bleasby, I guess)

Nice you embedded zerodreams' fade project. However, the "Extra Layer 1 - Console" image is not being pickup up, though. Do we have to rename the existing console images to Layer1 or is it planned to add an Extra layer in the final version?
