0.6.0 — Aircraft Daemon, Watermark & Stability Enhancements

Pre‑release · 2025

New Features

  • Aircraft Daemon System (FlightDaemon)
  • Fully replaces the vanilla AircraftDaemon and is configured directly in the target computer XML: <FlightDaemon FallDuration="90" OnFailed="Actions/failed.xml" OnSaved="Actions/saved.xml" />.
  • Configurable crash duration (FallDuration) with a linear countdown in immediate fall mode.
  • Executes OnFailed / OnSaved action files on crash or repair, ideal for narrative integration.
  • Provides a global altimeter overlay; activate with ShowAircraftOverlay / HideAircraftOverlay to see the aircraft’s altitude in real time without being connected. The overlay auto‑hides on crash.
  • Added the AttackAircraft action (with optional FallDuration, overriding the daemon’s setting) and the UploadAircraftSysFile repair action.
  • Core implementation contributed by April_Crystal — special thanks!
  • Main Menu Rainbow Watermark
  • Displays + KernelExtensions <version> in the top‑left of the main menu, with colours flowing smoothly over time — no jitter or looping.
  • Positioned to the right of the ZeroDayToolKit watermark to avoid overlap.
  • The watermark disappears automatically when the extension is unloaded, and Harmony patches are cleaned up uniformly.
  • New Custom Action: RenameNode
  • Renames a node by its ID; the change takes effect immediately and persists in saves.

Improvements & Optimisations

  • Harmony patch management: uses a single static Harmony instance, and all patches are cleanly removed via Unload() when the extension exits.
  • Aircraft button logic: the “Exit..” button in FlightDaemon has been corrected to “Disconnect” and now properly executes a disconnection.
  • Documentation overhaul: detailed docs have moved to the GitHub Wiki, with bilingual navigation; new pages include the Extension Author Guide, Configuration Files reference, and more. The README has been streamlined accordingly.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a KeyNotFoundException crash in AttackAircraft when the target computer lacks a FlightDaemon.
  • Fixed a potential division‑by‑zero when CrashDelay == 0; the logic now triggers an instant crash.
  • Fixed an Access Violation in CustomTrialExe.OnComplete caused by calling MusicManager.stop() during certain audio states.
  • Fixed a typo: AircraftFallStartsImmediatley → AircraftFallStartsImmediately.
  • Fixed static dictionary not being cleaned up after aircraft crash, which could lead to a memory leak.
  • Fixed the FlightDaemon continuing to update altitude data after disconnecting from the target; updates are now automatically unsubscribed.

0.5.0 — VMAttack System

Pre‑release · 2025

New Features

  • Configurable VM Attack System
  • Added the LaunchVMAttack Action to trigger custom virtual machine crash attacks from action files.
  • Supports three recovery modes: FileDeletion (delete a specified file), FileExists (create a specified file), Password (enter a password).
  • Attack behaviour is defined via XML configuration files in the VMATK/ directory, including custom error messages, system log texts, guide dialogues, help files, fake file lists, success music, etc.
  • The recovery interface (FakeRecoveryModule) simulates terminal‑style output with scrolling system logs, character‑by‑character guide text, interactive buttons/password input, and multi‑language prompts.
  • Guide text supports inline control markers: ||Px.x|| pauses, ||Sx.x|| speed changes, ||SR|| reset to default speed, plus an optional “read‑skip” feature.
  • An action file can be executed synchronously when guide text begins playing (ActionOnGuideTextStart).
  • Seamlessly integrated into the vanilla crash flow: a Harmony patch injects an error state at line 50 of the system boot log, and after 15 seconds automatically transitions to the custom recovery module.
  • After the attack is lifted, a black‑screen reboot is performed and success music is played.
  • New Action: PlaySound
  • Added the PlaySound Action for playing custom sound effects (WAV format) from the extension directory.
  • Provided the public SoundHelper utility class for convenient programmatic use.
  • Technical Improvements
  • Extracted MusicPathResolver as a public utility class, unifying music file path resolution within extensions (with multi‑level fallback), fixing an issue where music could not be played when the extension folder name differed from the extension name.
  • Extracted ActionHelper as a public utility class, standardising action file execution logic shared between CustomTrialExe and the VM system, improving stability and maintainability.

Other

  • Adjusted various internal details and optimised coupling between modules to lay a foundation for future extensions.

0.4.6

Pre‑release · 2025

  • Fixed incorrect path resolution in music path parsing.

0.4.5 — Force Fail & Bug‑Fix Collection

Pre‑release · 2025

New Features

  • Force Fail Action (FailTrial)
  • Added FailTrialAction, which can be invoked directly from an action file to force the current trial to fail immediately (entering Outro with "Failed" text). Supports Delay and DelayHost for delayed execution.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the title not changing on trial failure: all failure paths now correctly set currentPhaseIdx = -1, so the title displays "Failed".
  • Fixed the title disappearing on exit: added temporary text logic for the Exiting state in DrawPhaseTitle, so the title continues to show "Complete" or "Failed" during fade‑out.
  • Fixed extraneous terminal output on failed exit: the failure Result is now uniformly set to Success, and trialSucceeded independently controls music stopping.
  • Fixed mail destruction radial lines being affected by frame rate: introduced MAIL_LINE_INTERVAL (1/60 s) to control line generation frequency.
  • Fixed the completion sound playing when the focus effect was disabled: glowSound now only plays when EnableTrialCompleteFocus = true.

Improvements

  • Replicated the original SpinUp animation easing curves: DrawSpinningUp now fully matches the original DLC trial's line progress algorithm, making the animation richer and more natural.

0.4.4 — Node Persistence & Effect Restoration

Pre‑release · 2025

Core System Enhancements

  • Node Deletion Persistence & Restoration
  • Added CustomTrialNodeStorage global storage to record deleted node indices during trials.
  • Save/load automatically persists/restores the deletion state (via SaveEvent and CustomTrialSaveExecutor).
  • Provided the RestoreCustomTrialNodes custom Action to restore nodes at any time with highlight flashes and effects.
  • Action File Execution Mechanism Optimisation
  • ExecuteActionFile now supports both ConditionalActions and Actions standard formats, compatible with vanilla and Pathfinder conventions.
  • Uses EventExecutor + ActionsLoader to ensure custom Actions execute correctly.
  • Terminal Interaction Actions
  • TerminalWriteAction: writes text to the terminal (supports text attribute or element content, and Delay).
  • TerminalFocusAction: full‑screen terminal focus (darken mask + expanding border) with independent Duration, BorderDuration, FadeInDuration parameters.
  • Theme Switch Configuration
  • XML config items ThemeToSwitch (preset name or custom path) and ThemeFlickerDuration, automatically switching the theme before animations begin.

Visual & UI Polish

  • Mail explosion effect enhancement: added radial line generation and multi‑stage delayed red circle expansion.
  • Node destruction effect restoration: added shockwave and red fade circles when nodes disappear; higher security levels produce stronger effects.
  • Status title display: Flickering / WaitAfterDestruction / MailIconDestroy phases show localised "Initializing" text.
  • Terminal focus effect: optional full‑screen mask + expanding terminal border at phase start / trial completion.
  • Exit fade animation: all UI elements fade out smoothly with the fade value on exit.
  • Background grid dynamic effect: HexGridBackground dynamically updates colour intensity over time.

Feature & Flow Optimisation

  • OnStart and OnAnimationComplete coexist: OnStart fires immediately after clicking the button; OnAnimationComplete fires after all animations finish.
  • Configurable program name: added ProgramName field in XML.
  • Post‑trial auto‑connect: added ConnectTarget and StopMusicOnConnect config items.
  • Phase reset custom text: PhaseConfig gains ResetText and ExecuteOnPhaseStartOnReset.
  • Dynamic RAM reduction: added DynamicRamReduction option, which automatically calculates the minimum window height based on visible controls.

0.4.3

Pre‑release · 2025

  • Reverted to MusicManager for audio playback.

0.4.2

Pre‑release · 2025

  • Applied Harmony patch to fix relative path issues with MusicManager.

0.4.1

Pre‑release · 2025

  • Music now automatically stops when a trial succeeds or fails.

0.4.0 — Node Persistence & Recovery

Pre‑release · 2025

New Features

  • Node deletion persistence & recovery: nodes destroyed during a trial are saved with the game save and can be restored at any time with animated effects via the custom Action RestoreCustomTrialNodes.
  • Theme switch configuration: supports automatic theme switching at the start of a trial, with a configurable flicker duration and support for preset names or custom theme files.
  • Post‑destruction delay: added the PostDestructionDelay config item to insert a custom wait time between node destruction and mail icon explosion.
  • Action after animation complete: the original OnStart was renamed to OnAnimationComplete, now executing after all animations finish.
  • Locked screen exit button: when the trial is locked, a right‑click‑closable "Exit" button is displayed.
  • Music restoration on early exit: if the player kills the program in NotStarted state, the previous background music is automatically restored.

Improvements

  • Fixed the top‑bar icon colour not being restored after mail icon explosion.
  • Optimised theme switch and top‑bar colour save order.
  • Adjusted the trigger timing of OnAnimationComplete.

0.3.5

Pre‑release · 2025

  • Dynamic RAM Reduction: after entering the cracking phase, ramCost can be linearly reduced from 190 to 88 over a configurable delay and duration. UI elements scale smoothly during the reduction.
  • Simplified reflection checks with pattern matching; removed unused parameters and variables.

0.3.4

Pre‑release · 2025

  • Phase titles and subtitles are now displayed only in the centre of the program window and no longer output to the terminal.
  • Extra failure information is no longer displayed when a trial fails.

0.1.0 ~ 0.3.3
