More story stuff, bugfixes

Hey, as some people are having problems with running the current modloader versions, I'm pushing an update during Ewanderer's absence.

Changes

• More external story stuff by @APurpleApple: ExternalSaySwitch, ExternalStoryInjector
• General crash fixes - mismatched types, wrong patch types

Full Changelog: v2.0.2...v2.0.3

Story Expansion

Hi folks,
wanted to push this update, since people have been wanting story extension for a while and this gives that, though a very hands off version mind you.

Anyways, while I planned to get some more done alongside this update, you cannot really work with sickness. anyways enjoy and hopefully I can provide you with some extra juice next week or so.

What's Changed

• External Stories by @APurpleApple in #108
• 106 extra card glossary by @Ewanderer

New Contributors

• @APurpleApple made their first contribution in #108

Framework improvements

Heya,

Version 2 Mod Breaker Release

Hi,
this is update unfortunately will break older mods, as it changed up a bunch of advertisement structures. Maybe wait a few days before using this version to give mod devs time to update their projects. I hope to keep future breaking changes to a minimum or do a collective update like this one. and we should be good for a while, i hope. As an end user nothing visible has changed only mods being able to do more crazy things.

What's Changed for developers

• added pipeline for boot, addin and prelaunch manifests. by @Ewanderer in #77
• mod cross dependency and cross reference by @Ewanderer in #81
• logging consolidation and logger for manifests. by @Ewanderer in #82
• custom ship parts by @Ewanderer in #84
• externalsprite allow to avoid caching by @Ewanderer in #87
• make artifacts ship and or part exclusive by @Ewanderer in #88
• added scaffholding for exclusive ship cards. by @Ewanderer in #90
• externalartifact.addlocalisation swapped the header argument order to be in line with the rest.
• other external items also have new headers, check your construction.

Full Changelog: v1.0.1...v2.0.0

Anyway enjoy and let me know if something old has broken or you found some bugs with the new features.

Actual Working UI

So yeah the release actually didn't work for some people, thanks GTK. Anyway after some back and forth, I decided to crawl back to Winform and at least initial testing seems to be working including linux.
So let's hope the next release can actually be about more mod content. please report any issues to me.

Cobalt Core Game Release Version

The first public iteration of the Cobalt Core Modloader.

It doesn't cover the entire set of features for guided modding and has a long way to go before I would call it complete, but I hope to see it grow over the next few months to completion. See the Readme for details on the various aspects of the project and feel free to get involved.

Put the launcher folder anywhere and it should work once provided the Cobalt Core game path.
