CHANGELOG
1.0.8
- Photography Plus compatibility. Photos no longer print instead of faxes:
- The fax only spawns its page ~20 seconds after printing starts, from an index that a photo print could overwrite mid-animation. VoidFax now watches every print to the end and quietly reprints the fax if a player's photo print took over the machine (with Photography Plus this happened all the time; it was possible in vanilla too, just rare).
- Photography Plus's repairable fax (a modified fax whose print button only shows a "printer is damaged" hint) is no longer picked as the target printer - faxes were silently vanishing into it. VoidFax now always prefers the real fax machine in your base.
- Fixed printed faxes turning into an older player photo after saving and loading. The game stores printed pages as an index into a photo array that is keyed by the player's camera photo indexes, so a fax page could end up on a slot that a later photo print legitimately overwrites. Faxes are now registered as real photos (they even appear in the PC photos tab and can be reprinted from there), so their slot stays theirs forever. Pages printed with older versions of the mod on an existing save can't be healed retroactively, but new pages stay correct.
- Faxes are only marked as delivered on the server after the page has actually come out of the machine.
1.0.7
- Linux/Proton: the mod can now use the Linux system's own curl (via Wine's start /unix bridge) - no curl.exe needed in the prefix in most setups. Both transports are probed at startup and whichever works is used.
- Clearer log guidance when no network path is available.
1.0.6
- Linux/Proton (Steam Deck, Bazzite) compatibility: fixes the game closing instantly on launch. Under Wine the mod skips the Windows script host and uses direct networking; nothing spawns during game boot on any platform.
- If networking is unavailable the mod idles gracefully with a clear log message instead of failing.
1.0.5
- First launch prints a welcome fax with your printer code and share link - no more digging through logs.
- All links (including your private admin link) are saved to VoidFax_links.txt next to the game's exe.
1.0.4
- Version bump for release; contains the silent-networking fix below.
1.0.3
- No more flashing terminal windows: networking now runs through a single hidden background worker. Fixes the mod not working for players without the UE4SS console.
- Better diagnostics:
voidfax statusreports the network worker state, and the mod tells you if it can't reach the server.
1.0.2
- Poll interval is configurable in-game (voidfax interval <seconds>) and persists.
- Default check rate is now 10 seconds (was 20).
1.0.1
- New icon.
- Admin-page password option (voidfax password <word>).
- Docs polish.
1.0.0
- Initial release for VotV a09k.
- Unique printer code + shareable link (voidfax.com/id/CODE) per installation.
- Prints community images & messages through the game's own fax/photo pipeline (real animation, persistent photo props).
- Console commands: voidfax code / status / poll / test.
- Feed site with cooldowns, name-locking, moderation and share links.
- Per-printer moderation: private admin link (voidfax admin) with delete/ban, plus optional approval mode (nothing prints until you approve it).
- Optional admin-page password (voidfax password <word>) as a second lock on top of the admin link.
