Enabling and Disabling the patch through ini or other means. #57

Open xITmasterx opened 3 years ago

xITmasterx commented 3 years ago

Is there a way to enable and disable the patch through either through the ini file or through another method? I'm currently programming a new launcher with additional fixes, and I may need to find a way so that the user can apply the patch if they wanted to through a simple on/off setting.

Any answers, advise, or recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

The question is: which patch?

FF13Fix patches different things using different methods. The only way to disable everything and be absolutely sure the DLL isn't interfering with anything is removing it from the .exe folder

If that is the case, then I suppose that the only thing I have to do in order to absolutely make sure that it doesn't interfere with the game is to move the dll to a different folder within the launcher, and if I want the patch, I'll just program the launcher to move the dll back to the main exe directory before running.

Is this correct?

That works I guess, but if you always move the DLL out of the folder, and move it back only when you are launching the game, if the user launches the game without your launcher, they might not have the mod and not know why... There's some potential for confusion.

You should consider if it is really an useful option to add to the launcher (I assume people will either want to always use FF13Fix or never use FF13Fix)
