Hook Of The Reaper v1.1.5b

[6Bolt]

Quick release to fix 3 bugs, and to add a feature that I forgot.

Bug 1: The Reaper setting to remove the 5 LED Open/Close Init commands, removed the 'ZX' command. This shouldn't have been removed. As it gives recoil back to the light gun. Fixed for v1.1.5b.

Bug 2: On the MH INI side, if it cannot connect to a serial port/USB HID, it give an warning message. Since the MH INI side, should act like MH, it now doesn't give any pop-up warning, if it cannot connect to a serial port. So if you are playing 2 player game, with 1 light gun plugged in, then no warning will happen. Fixed in v1.1.5b. The DefaultLG side still will give a pop-up warning 1 time, if cannot connect to a serial port.

Bug 3: The playersAss.hor file was not getting updated if the last light gun was deleted from the list. It now saves the playersAss,hor, if the last light gun is deleted. Fixed in v1.1.5b.

The feature that I forgot, is to turn off the new game file creation. It is now turn off by default in v1.1.5b. It can be turned back on in the settings, by checking a box. So there is a new setting, in the settings file. It will read the old settings file fine, and then add the new setting to it automatically. Then new game file creation is turned off by default.

If the first setting is checked, which is search DefaultLG files first. Then this will happen when HOTR has a game start.

First search the DefaultLG files for game file. If not found, then search the ini/MAME files. If not found, search for default.txt in DefaultLG files. If not found, then do nothing.

If it is not checked, then this will happen.

First search the ini/MAME files for game file. If not found, then search the DefaultLG files. If not found, then search for default.ini in ini/MAME. If not found, then do nothing.

Also, now Game File will say 'No Game File Found,' if game file was not found.

There is the normal full download. The ChngFls, which just has the EXE to change out. I also included the defaultLG files. If you used v1.1.5, it created new files, and will affect game play with games with no recoil signal. So it is good to erase the old defaultLG directory, and start clean. Also, I removed Steel Gunner 2 game file, as it has no recoil output signal.
