Re: Space Empires 4 Mod Launcher
 

Ok
V1.7 of my Mod Selection Utility is now finished

On a slightly different note, we may be seeing it in future SE4 patches

Here is an excerpt from an e-mail Aaron sent me :-

----------------------------
Thanks for the info on your program. We will download it and try it out.
If all is well, we will definitely include it in the next patch.

Thanks for all of your tremendous effort!

Aaron

Wow! I feel so special http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

As usual, three flavours are available for your pleasure.
.Zip (185 K)
.Rar (172 K)
.Ace (148 K)

I apologise, but I am a tad behind schedule for the first release of the mod editor. I wasn't expecting Shrapnel's Website to be down on saturday. Still I'm sure you can all wait http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Enjoy

Thanks Geoschmo
it's quite an ego-stroke to get a small little utility that I wrote in my spare time included in one of my favorite games http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Space Empires 4 Mod Launcher
 

My apologies if anyone downloaded V1.7
there was a minor bug where it wouldn't save your passwords properly
this has now been corrected and you can download the fixed V1.7

If you have a Version prior to V1.7 then you are unaffected.

Re: Space Empires 4 Mod Launcher
 

Another minor update to V1.7
If you have found that you cant find your savegames in a mod's directory.. and you also notice that the mod is the Last one in the list on the left then this is the update you need!
For some reason I had a -1 where I didn't need one so it never reached the end of the list http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif
Anyway.. here it is. A V small update but a good one nonetheless.

Re: Space Empires 4 Mod Launcher
 

I am so glad you figured it out. It was driving me crazy! http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

I couldn't even figure out the pattern. I was trying to figure that out before I sent it to you as a bug. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong.

Thanks for the great support.

Re: Space Empires 4 Mod Launcher
 

Yes it was a confusing bug.
I never noticed it before because I don't have any savegames for my development mod (which was the Last one in my list).
It's only because I moved my SE4 directory that I found it out (My pirates&nomads became the Last in the list and suddenly I lost my savegames?!?!).
In future if you want to send a bug report and *then* try to figure out the trend in the bug http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif
It's better that I know about these things so I can (try to) fix them.

No, you weren't doing anything wrong. I'm just incompetent http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

Anyway.. glad you like it.

Re: Space Empires 4 Mod Launcher
 

Understood. It was like the only thing I could say was "Sometimes it doesn't work right." Coming from a tech support background, I HATE that, so I was trying not to do it to you.

Re: Space Empires 4 Mod Launcher
 

Ok here it is!
The long awaited (or maybe not) Mod Selection Utility V2.0!

New in this Version :-

There has been a change to the ModInfo Format.
Old formats still work with the mod editor, but the new format supports 2 new items. E-mail Address, and Website.
The new format is as follows :-
1. Modinfo2 Must be typed Exactly! or it will assume the old format
2. Obsolete:- Space Filler
3. False:- Whether the mod is enabled
4. ModName:- Space Filler
5. Pirates and Nomads The Mod Title
6. Version:- Space Filler
7. V2.1 The Version of the mod (It has moved up some lines)
8. Author:- Space Filler
9. Suicide Junkie Author Name
10. E-mail:- Space Filler
11. raaa@weeble.com E-mail address of author
12. Website:- Space Filler
13. www.weeble.com/raa Website of mod
14. Description:- Space Filler
15. onwards….. The description of your mod. Lines 15-99999999


Also, you can now add mods in other directories (i.e. subdirectories)
There are 2 ways of doing this.
1. Click the Add Mod button in the top left corner of the Mod Selector.
The program will prompt you for a directory, and when you click Add it will update itself, and re-launch to show the new mod.
If it doesn’t show up, make sure the Mod Directory is correct!


Finally, there have been a couple of minor fixes and improvements and the description box has had it's font sized down so you can see more of it now.

Enjoy everyone.
