Fixed an error introduced in version 1.1.13 where it would not create an uninstall file when installing a mod.
Version 1.1.13
Improved Short Paradigm Shift
Eliminated unnecessary DOS error message when attempting to delete a non-existent file
Updated the hard mode optional file to include the choice of reverting the chain gauge values back to the original settings. (25-feb-23)

Added a Running Speed option. Now able to run 15% faster.
Version 1.1.11
Added a tweak that adjusts the paradigm shift animation length, allowing for a shorter delay. Thanks to Peklo for identifying the paradigm shift animation records.
Version 1.1.10
Fix in the manual game directory selection utility.
Version 1.1.9
Improved handling of mod paths with non alpha-numeric characters
Added the ability to manually point to the FF XIII game directory
Corrected error that required a blank line at the end of the .txt files for the install to work correctly.
Version 1.1.8
Changed normal drop rates for 0 and 1 star back to 1x. The game sometimes uses a 100% drop rate to provide a critical game item and reducing the probability could prevent the user from obtaining it.
Version 1.1.7
Added mod to adjust the normal drop rates based on the battle star rating
Modified the strike chain percentage down to 98% from 99% as the AI still seemed to occasionally use the strike when it shouldn't.
Version 1.1.6
Updated install process to include the A: & B: drives
Install process now locates the FF XIII directory if it is in the root of a drive, or a non-steam version
Install process enables the manual input of the install directory if the FF XIII directory can not be found
Uninstall process fixed and actually updates the game files.
Added a Trapezohedron update file (uninstall for the Adamantite mod) rather than relying on the uninstall process.
Version 1.1.5
Minor correction to the install process to detect when the Steam FF 13 directory is not found.
Updated "Hard Mode" to v 1.1.3. The version labeled 1.1.2 was not updating the Japanese language files. (June 5, 2020)
Updated "Hard Mode" to v 1.1.4. Corrected install of "Stagger Time" (June 8, 2020)
Version 1.1.4
Corrected an issue where you could not uninstall a mod as the process would immediately re-install.
Version 1.1.3
Additional error checking to verify initial .txt file is found.
check for "fail" errors when reading lines from .txt file
Set the path prior to running the .exe file to ensure the file can be found

Fixed Adamantite mod - Thanks to X057wind for pointing this out
Mods now update the Japanese language files in addition to the English language ones
Lowered the 9.2% -strike chain increment to 8.8% as 9.2% didn't seem to be sufficient.
Removed the Commando Strike mod as the chain increment one works better.
Version 1.03
Added a second (better) method to minimize the alternating -strike abilities by slightly reducing the base chain increment
Version 1.02
Updated CommandoStrike to include Sazh's -strike abilities in Main File
Slightly increased CP of very low CP enemies (<15) in Hard Mode Stat +20% & +35% to reduce grinding time in the early game
Reduced Bomb Self-Destruct damage proportionally with the Hard Mode Stat % increase to reduce the chance of one-shot death. Should be similar to base game in all modes.
Version 1.01
Added optional Hard Mode file
Corrected issue when writing modified .wdb file where extra 0's were added to the end of the file. This had no impact on functionality, but made the file longer than necessary.
Moved the FasterEnemies mod to the "Hard Mode" option.
