pyparadox 0.2.1

Features

• Cross-platform: Linux, OS X and Windows.

• Supports Python 3.3+ with PyQt5.

• Games: PyParadox supports all cross-platform grand strategy titles of Paradox Interactive that use the Clausewitz engine. To date, these include: - Crusader Kings II - Europa Universalis IV

• Steam: PyParadox can be launched from Steam when starting the title from the Steam interface. All Steam integration should work just fine. A small configuration inside Steam is required to make sure that PyParadox is used instead of the stock launcher. See the documentatation on how to set this up.

• PyParadox separates the expansion DLCs from the regular DLCs. This should make it easier to start up your game with the exact expansions you want.

• PyParadox fixes an anomaly under Linux that causes the game to mess with the screen resolution when alt+tabbing. This anomaly was introduced when Paradox released their (new) stock launcher for Linux. By bypassing this launcher, PyParadox also bypasses the anomaly.

History

0.2.1 (2015-04-11)

• Minor patches to documentation because apparently I can’t release anything without messing that stuff up.

0.2.0 (2015-04-11)

• Complete rewrite of the project, with reuse of some code.

• Now no longer supports Python 2.7 and Qt 4. This program will only work with Python 3.3+ and PyQt5.

• Configuration files relocated to a different location. Old configuration files no longer valid.

• Graphical user interface makes use of Qt .ui files, rather than hardcoded QtGui/QtWidgets code.

• A lot of functionality has been decoupled from the user interface. While the UI code performs some glue logic, it should be relatively trivial to cook up a user interface in a different framework. An experimental QML front-end is under consideration.

• Unit tests are a lot leaner, using fewer mocks and patches, instead relying much more on dependency injection.

• Documentation rewritten.

0.1.3 (2015-01-31)

• Added –pyqt4 argument to force the usage of PyQt4.

• Fixed PyQt4 compatibility issues.

0.1.2 (2014-07-20)

• Fixed typo that caused README to display incorrectly.

0.1.1 (2014-07-20)

• Sweetened up the README with images of the program.

0.1.0 (2014-07-20)
