Update 0.5.7 - Typewriter effect & improved games list!


Note: Remember that you have to download each update manually. GameTranslate does not currently have any auto-update support!

Typewriter effect


Active processes


And with that last .gif, I announce and invite you all to GameTranslate's official Discord server! :)
It has been an everlasting debate in my head whether I should or should not create a Discord for the application, due to many doubts about time constraints and second-guessing if my day-to-day life is up for the task. Alas, I have now found myself in a situation where I am fairly confident things will go well, and I am very much aware of the need for a centralised forum to discuss, share and get help in regards of the application.

Changelog

  • Added typewriter effect for all of our Visual novel players out there. You can enable it by going to the General tab in configuration and set the 'Typewriter effect text speed' value to anything higher than 0
  • Added 'Show active' button next to the game's list, which allows users to see all currently launched windows for easy access to save & launch
  • Added 'Recently launched' sorting algorithm
  • Added 'Recently launched' icon to the last 10 launched processes
  • Added 'Locked window' checkbox in General config, allowing users by default to have their translation window locked to the selected area
  • Added 'Lock window' keybinding to allow users to lock and unlock the translation window in place
  • Added localization for the tutorial for about half of the languages
  • Added a search bar to language model list
  • Added a 'Show automatic border' checkbox to General config, letting users control whether they want the Automatic translation window to have a border or not
  • Added Steam, Reddit and Discord links to the 'tooltip' messages
  • Added link to GameTranslate homepage to demo
  • Added a 'image not found' icon in those cases where the app fails to load a process's icon
  • Fixed a bug that caused multiple font base sizes to make the dictionary font size differ between languages
  • Fixed a bug that caused multiple font base sizes to make the dictionary fail to render certain languages
  • Fixed a bug related to text caching when text length was almost the same when using Still background mode
  • Fixed a bug that would render a dictionary tooltip window when translating in a new window
  • Fixed a bug that caused Scroll reset mode to not work without Comic mode
  • Fixed a bug that caused Internal translator models to not work if LLAMA had been used previously on the same config
  • Fixed a bug where users clicked other tabs during the tutorial and thus breaking the next step
  • Fixed a bug making Romanian & Slovak unusable due to double entry in hashmap
  • Fixed a bug that would let users make the main app window way smaller than minmum size
  • Fixed a crash caused by Steam game not being able to be launched through Steam due to incorrect Steam data, instead attempts to launch .exe directly
  • Fixed a bug where font size 30 wasn't forced when using Custom API & LLAMA, which could cause the tool to render black for some users
  • Fixed a bug where 'Quick setup' didn't actually save the configuration
  • Fixed a crash that could happen when users downloaded new versions of GameTranslate and launched the tool without changing any settings
  • The configuration is now properly validated for models, fonts & other files to ensure the user cannot launch and is notified that something is missing
  • The internal engine is now forced on 'Quick setup' (user will be given more freedom on this in a future version)
  • The users selected sorting algorithm for their game list is now saved to main application config
  • User can double click an 'Active process' to bring it to focus and highlight it for 2 seconds
  • Yet another attempt at fixing very rare crash during exit of main app

This update turned out pretty great. I'm especially thankful for this part: "Added a 'Show automatic border' checkbox to General config, letting users control whether they want the Automatic translation window to have a border or not." That's a super useful little feature for me—the border used to get in the way of my screen, and now I don't have to keep closing the window just to hide it. A huge thanks for this update! :)

Glad to hear it norby! Thank you as always for your feedback, an unsung hero.
I notice (and fixed) a translation cache bug. Have you experienced any of the caching bugs you had since the last modification I did to the caching system? :)

Nope. Everything's good; I didn't encounter any issue related to caching. Thanks :)
