async void Task.Run() is a no-op for awaiting purposes since the void
returns immediately. Switch LoadData to async Task and have the two
callers fire-and-forget the task directly. Exceptions still go through
the existing try/catch inside LoadData.
Both tab classes were the last two settings tabs still pulling their
display name from the upstream Language resource bundle. Move them
into HellionStrings so all eight settings tabs share one i18n source.
The unused Language.Options_*_Tab keys stay around for backwards
compat with cherry-picked upstream tabs.
Drop the inline wall-of-text description in favour of the standard
HelpMarker tooltip used across the rest of the v0.5.0 settings UX.
Visual consistency for the General tab.
Mark Emote.Id, Top100.Id, Top100.Code and Top100.ImageType as required
so the JSON deserializer enforces the contract instead of relying on
default-null semantics. Removes the four CS8618 warnings the build has
been carrying since v0.4.0.
Twelve organic settings tabs collapsed into eight themed ones (General,
Appearance, Window, Chat, Tabs, Privacy, Database, Information). Wipe
migration v9→v10 with HellionChat.json.pre-v10-backup safety net.
Default tab layout now spawns six themed tabs out of the box (General,
System, Free Company, Party, Beginner when Novice Network is on,
Linkshell, Tell Exclusive). HelpMarker pattern across every section,
disabled tooltips remain visible. Pre-release polish from full
codebase review covered race-conditions, EmoteCache retry, Allman
bracing, and dead i18n keys.
Split the technical/notification streams (System, Error, Echo, Debug,
NPC announcements, login/logout, retainer sales, gathering system,
glamour notifications, sign messages, alarms, orchestrion, message
book, random number, progress) out of the General tab into their own
System tab. General now shows player conversation plus the active
gameplay events (loot rolls, crafting, gathering, NPC dialogue, party
finder pings) without burying chat under technical chatter.
Drop the channels that already live in dedicated themed tabs (Tells,
emotes, Novice Network, FC and PvP announcements, Sign and Glamour
notifications) so the General tab is the public-chat catch-all instead
of a duplicate of every themed tab. NpcDialogue moves in because the
maintainer reads it alongside system messages.
Spawn six themed tabs out of the box instead of one General catch-all:
General (everything), Free Company (FC chat plus FC announcements and
login/logout), Party (Party, CrossParty, Alliance, PvP team plus loot
rolls), Beginner (Novice Network only when ShowNoviceNetwork is on),
Linkshell (all eight regular and cross-world linkshells together) and
Tell Exclusive (TellIncoming/TellOutgoing as a safety-net catch-all in
case Auto-Tell-Tabs misses one).
Tab names live in HellionStrings (EN/DE). The Tabs settings tab gains a
help-text hint above the list recommending one tab per linkshell when
the user is in multiple, since a single combined Linkshell tab gets
noisy fast for active users.
- Configuration.cs: ShowTitleBar defaults to true so a fresh install
shows the window header instead of leaving the user without a drag
handle and hide button
- Configuration.cs: MaxLinesToRender default drops from 10000 to 5000
to match the slider's intended ceiling and the previous user-tuned
baseline
- ChatLogWindow.cs: 24h-clock checkbox now actually flips the format.
The Bestand path passed null culture which on a German system
locale always rendered 24h regardless of the toggle
- Appearance.cs + ChatLogWindow.cs + Popout.cs: when Hellion theme is
enabled the global theme opacity drives the chat-window BgAlpha and
the legacy WindowAlpha slider is disabled, so the two opacity
controls no longer fight each other
- Appearance.cs: ticking UseHellionFont now flips FontsEnabled off so
the two mutually-exclusive font stacks no longer appear active at
the same time
- Plugin.cs: mark RetentionSweepRunning volatile so the ImGui thread
reads the latest value without a stale register-cached copy
- EmoteCache.cs: reset State to Unloaded on exception so a later
trigger can retry instead of being blocked by the early-out
- Settings.cs: switch the SaveAndClose / Discard buttons to Allman
bracing for consistency with the rest of the file, and include the
ItemSpacing in the Ko-fi-button right-edge calculation
- Privacy.cs: add a saved-policy hint above the manual retention
Ctrl+Shift button so the existing Cleanup wording pattern is
matched here too
- HellionStrings: drop seven unreferenced keys (Theme_Heading,
Migration_Notification_*, Migration_Webinterface_Removed_*,
AutoTellTabs_Migration_*) and their EN/DE values, add the new
Retention_Help_SavedNote string
Settings UX polish release. Twelve organic settings tabs collapsed
into eight themed ones, theme/font controls moved to Appearance,
About and Changelog merged into Information. Configuration migrates
from v9 to v10 as a wipe with a backup file written next to the live
config; chat history and tabs survive.
The nine legacy tab implementations were superseded by the new eight
themed tabs. Removing them now that the consolidated structure is in
place keeps SettingsTabs/ aligned with what actually ships.
Three collapsible sections: version info (author, discord handle,
version, issue tracker), about HellionChat (maintainer, mission, build
lineage, license, SE notice, localisation, translator list), and the
changelog (auto-print toggle plus the manifest changelog renderer).
Drop the redundant inner Advanced TreeNode in the Maintenance section,
flatten the duplicated indent in the Overview section, and rename the
section headings so they reflect their content (Overview shows
metadata, Maintenance hosts the shift-gated tooling).
