In short
Saveable EVERYTHING, misc improvements!
List of changes
Main menu- Moved the DELETE CAREER button from the main menu to the loading UI - it's rarely used, and was too easy to click by accident.
- Some elements within the loading UI are now only shown when necessary.
- The career name text now shows "Saving…" during the saving process after clicking QUICKSAVE.
Saving/loading- Major read speed optimization for the new savefile format.
- Career cars & parts can now be saved and loaded.
- Cars & parts have been migrated to the new savefile format.
With this, the new format has finally been implemented game-wide!
- Redone, much-safer career overwrites.
- Factory color parameter of cars is now saved.
Car Lot- Improved memory management.
- Greatly reduced HDD activity for initialization & saving of cars.
(Files of untouched cars are no longer interacted with when saving career, unless necessary.)
- Temporary files generated by CarLot are now erased on proper game exit.
- Fixed OSD elements losing focus after togging UI visibility - this meant that you couldn't press Enter to select car.
- CarLot fundamentals are now complete!
Garage- Cars loaded into the garage via console commands while there is no car present now show up in-world without a reload necessary.
- Painter interactions are now considered 'worth saving' (so you'll get reminders to save career in main menu).
- Fixed an optimization mishandling the lack of a car in the garage.
- Painter settings (color, decal, size, nozzle, etc…) are now remembered between garage visits during the same career.
Misc- Added a Console command for loading careers.
- Yet again improved the indirect nuking of open Dialogs.
- New game icon.
- Fixed a bug with career renaming.
- Completed the CarInfo blueprint for the Sunset.
