v2.5.0 — Safety & Validation

What's New

Safety

• Rollback on failure — if patching fails mid-write (disk error, permission issue), all game files are automatically restored from backup
• Backup manifest — backups are bound to the game directory they were created for; prevents restoring the wrong backup to a different install
• Profile validation — saved profiles are validated on load; rejects corrupted or invalid button assignments

Validation

• Context collision detection — detects conflicting remaps between Combat and Horse tabs before applying (both share the gameplay input layer)
• Swap validation — validate_swaps_contextual is now called before every Apply, catching invalid buttons, missing reverse mappings, and duplicate targets

Packaging

• Added missing lz4 dependency to requirements.txt (was imported but undeclared)
• Controller image now bundled in exe build (fixes missing image on first launch)

Tests

131 tests pass (up from 114).

v2.4.0 — Leader-Line Labels & Selection UX

What's New

• Leader-line labels — action names now appear in columns outside the controller image, connected by lines to their buttons. No more overlapping text.
• Interactive hover — hovering a label or button highlights both the label (text + underline + line turn blue) and the button hotspot.
• Selection persistence — swapped buttons and labels stay gold until Apply or Reset, making it clear what's changed.
• Label click support — click a label to select its button for swapping (same as clicking the button directly).
• Button tooltips — hover any bottom-bar button (Reset, Save, Apply, Undo All, Settings) to see what it does.
• Undo All fix — now properly resets GUI state to defaults after restoring vanilla bindings.
• Wider viewport (960px) to accommodate the new label columns.

Download

cd_remap.exe — portable, no install needed. Right-click → Properties → Unblock if Windows SmartScreen warns.

v2.3.0 — Xbox Controller Image

What's New

• Xbox controller image — Replaces the primitive rectangle schematic with a real Xbox 360 controller image (CC0 Wikimedia Commons)
• Interactive hotspot overlays — Buttons highlight blue on hover, gold when selected, cyan when remapped
• Portable build — PyInstaller spec now uses relative paths

Details

• Controller image rendered from CC0 SVG at 2x resolution with transparent background
• Button positions calibrated from manual click testing
• Asset path resolution works in both development and bundled exe
• 114 tests passing

v2.2.0 — Progress Bar + UX Polish

What's New

• Progress bar — Apply and Undo now show a real-time progress bar instead of freezing the GUI during 912MB+ PAZ file writes
• Aggregate progress — single continuous 0-100% across all files, with phase labels (Reading/Writing)
• Buttons disabled during I/O — prevents double-apply or mid-write undo
• Remember last-applied mappings — GUI reopens with your active remap instead of resetting to defaults
• Button highlight UX — controller diagram highlights only unapplied changes; clears after Apply

Download

Download cd_remap.exe below. Windows SmartScreen will block it (not code-signed) — right-click → Properties → Unblock.
