Changelogs
Version 1.4.0
Added support for loading unpacked map ref files.
Version 1.3.15
Fixed read buffer overrun related to incorrect calculation of ARD section 1 size. This also fixes a rare crash related to it
Added support for using a launcher to inject the loader instead of hijack. This also adds Mod Organizer 2 compatibility (plugin will be released at a later date). This option can also be used with vortex or standalone if others are giving you issues.
Note that since many changes were made to how plugins are loaded and init events are fired, it won't work properly with LUA Loader versions lower than 1.6.2.
Corrected a version in fomod's info.xml (it was set to 1.3.14 despite the whole package being 1.3.15). So now there are two 1.3.15 versions. They're exactly the same as far as functionality goes.
Version 1.3.13
Fixed a bug that didn't allow hooks to be created again after removing them. Has impact on all loaded modules.
Version 1.3.12
Fixed VC++ Redistributable issue that could sometimes cause 0xc0000142 error on start. Note, that it still requires an up to date VC++ Redistributable (link in mod description).
Version 1.3.11
Trampoline is now able to return allocated memory ranges to other modules (required by LUA loader)
Added support for forced ASLR (the game has that disabled by default, but you can enforce it for all executables in windows, it's still not random - if ASLR is forced on FF12, it simply always loads at 0x10000 instead of the usual address)
Version 1.3.10
Fix for repacking base ard files that do not contain section 1.
Proper errors when VBF doesn't contain a requested file.
Version 1.3.8
Added support for ard files unpacked into sections (compatible with Xeavin's occuria).
Fixed size reporting issues for unpacked ARD sections.
Changed section numbering scheme to match that of the new occuria version.
Added a way to read some files not present in the original archive.
Other small fixes.
Version 1.3.4
Fixed a bug causing undefined behavior (and crash on Win7).
Version 1.3.3
Added support for loading unpacked battle pack, texture packs, mrp pack, clut pack, font packs and EBP files.
Added simple VBF reader.
Added possibility to include only changed sections of unpacked files.
