Massive Update 2.3.8 + 2.3.9 :- (27-Feb-2020)

================
# Design Changes:
================

* Added "Edain Mod Compatibility detector":
- First of all you have to know that Because Edain Mod and MasterHero Mod both have a "Disable Feature" in their Launcher, they are fully compatible with each other and can be installed in the same directory
- But in-order to play any of the two mods ( MasterHero Mod or Edain ) you have to disable the other mod.
- So If you decide to play MasterHero Mod while Edain Mod is Not disabled the game will crush and wont start, and Vice versa
- So I've added a tool to detect whether Edain Mod is active or not, so when you click "Play" button in MasterHero Mod Launcher while Edain is Active, a notification will pop up and it will tell you that you have
to disable Edain Mod first, and then it will start Edain Launcher automatically so that you can disable it quickly

* Added "FullScreen Borderless" Mode, found in "Windowed Resolutions" button under the settings tab

* Fixed FullScreen issues where the screen gets cropped in some cases for some players

* Added a button to open "Options.ini" file directly, from "Windowed Resolutions" button under the settings tab

* Replaced FRAPS button with OBS Under "Share" Button, it will install OBS if its not installed and it will run it if its installed

* Fixed an Issue where game wont start if you enable some expansions, the issue was found with Two Expansions: ( AI Capitan & More Starting Money )

* Move the button "fix startup error" found originally in Settings Toolbar to Help Toolbar button ( for organizational purposes )

* Removed Messege Boxes when Disabling the mod or when Activating the mod, and when Updating the mod, just to make the proccess a little bit faster

* Added [ Game Mode - "game.dat" Switcher ]:
# game.dat Switcher have Two Game Modes:
1 - Multi/SinglePlayer Mode: You have to Mount ROTWK CD Image but you can play Multiplayer with no Out of Sync Issues - and you can play Single Player As well
2 - Single Player Only Mode: Designed to help run the game with no ROTWK CD mounted image ( its only for Single player because if you played Multiplayer it will most likely cause Out of Sync Issues )

# Introducing A Smart ROTWK CD Image detector is embedded in the Launcher Also

* Increased the "Player out of connection" Time-out - this happens when the player have a connection problem while playing multiplayer with his friends,
and they have to wait only for one minitue before he gets kicked out of the game this is now solved,
you have now 10 Minitues so take your time to solve you connection problem and get back to the game.

* Added Windowed Resolution Option - you choose it from settings in the Mod Launcher

* Updated MasterHero Mod Logo

* Launcher Background Images Changed also

* Changed the Game Startup Background Screen

* Changed some of the Game main menu backgrounds

* Changed Mod Launcher Music to ( a Royalty Free Music ) in order to help creators in Content Creation if they want to record a video

* Added a Quick-Lunch Shortcuts for people having trouble Running "MasterHero Mod Launcher" ( they exists in ROTWK Directory )

* Forced Actual Resoultion is applied in Full Screen Run ( ROTWK resolution will always be same as you primary Screen Resolution if you play the Game in Full Screen )

* "No Admin" Problems are All Fixed - if ROTWK was installed in C Drive, You can run the mod Launcher normally with no problems weather its drive ( C, D, .. etc ) it wont matter the Launcher will always work
- before this updated, this caused issues where if ROTWK was installed in C Drive - you will have to run the mod as administrator, or it will convert to "No Admin" Mode, but now all of this is fixed
- NOW all of these issues are fixed, The mod will always work normally and does not need to be ran as administrator

* If you have ROTWK CD mounted Image, you can still run the game from the launcher and it will still detect the ROTWK CD Mounted Image
- if you are not familiar with this issue: it is a problem where mod launchers can't detect ROTWK mounted Image even though its actually mounted
- so when you run the game through the launcher it will say no ROTWK CD detected, but if you run the game from .exe it will work
- This is now has been fixed with a very Smart WorkAround, you Run the game with launcher and you shall have no problems

* MasterHero Mod is compatible with Edain Mod, both Mods can be installed in same directory, as both Mods contain Disable Features in their launchers, you have to disable one mod to play the other

==================
# Gameplay Changes:
==================

* New Updates to Ring Utilities of Lothlorien and Rivendell Factions

* Ring Utilities Details are now visible inside the game as a Spell Book Power ( it does nothing when clicked,
its just there to tell you what Ring Abilities the Factions has )

* Changed many Heroes Button Images and Portraits

* Added the Hero: Elladan, Elrohir, and Gildor to Rivendell

* Transferred Haldir and Oropher from rivendell to lothlorien

* Now Both Lothlorien Faction and Rivendell Faction can build a new building called House of Mirkwood Citadel
which can act as a fortress and produce Porters and the following Heroes: ( Legolas + Thrandill + Feren )

* Units and Heroes should run from Sauron, not challenge him !! ( not literally though, it just mean he is stronger now )
- Sauron Health Increased from 15000 to 25000
- Sauron Damage Increased from 1000 to 1600
- Sauron Mace Weapon Shock wave radius Increased
