Release Notes


Bugs

	Light Controllers were Not Shutting Down Properly

	Auto LED Bug with the Retro Shooter's RS3 Reaper
		Not a Bug with HOTR
		Happens when the Auto LED Command (ZR) is Used
			After the Enter External Control Command (ZS)
			Only use Auto LED, When there is No Ammo Value
				So 5 Side LEDs are Not Orange All the Time

				Pushed Reload Button (Middle Mouse Button)
				Circle Button, or Can Be Switched to Bottom Button
				Even if Ammo is Full

			3rd Tab of Light Gun Windows

		Now 1 Hardware and 3 Software Bugs with Rs3 Reapers
			1 Hardware is Hold Back Issue
				If 2 Reapers Hold Back Same Time, they will Reset
				Didn't Affect All Guns
				Each Gun Needs 2A, so a 24V 4A or more Power Supply is Needed

	Couldn't Use Display Range with Life and Other Commands
		Broke Rule 6 of Light Game/Default Files
			Where An Output Signal, Couldn't Use the Same Controller and Group Twice
		Not a Problem with Ammo, as Reload Sequence Built In
		But if a User Wanted to Displa Range with Life, then Couldn't Show Death Flash
			As They Both Used PX_Life
		Updated Rule, So that Background and Display Range Don't Apply
			As Display Commands Run on Top of Them
		Now Can Use Display Range with PX_Life, Alond with Death Command

Enhancements

	Updated the Line Edit Boxes
		If Line Edit was Constrained, Cursor Position was Weird
		Had to Mouse Click to the Left of it
		Constrained Means can Only Put in 1-4 Numbers
			No Letters

		When ROM is '___empty'
			Now Says '___empty (Waiting for Game Data)
		When TCP Socket Disconnects
			Clears ROM and Game File

	Changed 'LEDs' to 'LED Cntrls' for LED Hook: Strip
		As I Talked About in the Tutorial
			Cares about the Number of RGB LED Controllers
				As 1 Light Controller Can Drive Up to 6 RGB LEDs
			So an ALED Strip Could have 300 RGB LEDs
				But Only have 100 WS2815 Controllers
		LED Hook: Strip Talks to the Controllers, Not the LEDs

	Updated Icon
		Now Has TransParent Background
		Might Need to Restart Windows Explorer
		Or Erase Icon Cache File to Get New Icon

	Added a Reset Button to LED Hook: Strip
		Located in the Edit Light Controller Windows
			Under the Strip Info
		When Clicked, it will Reset the LED Hook: Strip
			Unconnect Beep
