First & foremost I wished to thank Matryx and the PBW team for the mod launcher utility and the RTC client
I had an idea about a possible integration of the mod picker and the RTC.
I suppose you're wondering what's wrong with the current programs... Well, I have two Versions (classic and Gold) of SE4 installed, and each of these has a couple of mods installed. Basically, I would like the RTC to pick the proper Version-mod combination for each savegame.
The idea was more or less this: the RTC should call a modpicker (either an external program or with an internal routine).
The modpicker should read from a local file the Version and mod info and run the game. The RTC should look for the .plr file in the appropriate savegame dir (i.e., the mod's savegame dir).
I thought to program it myself, but since I do not know anything of Java and the "PBW protocol" seems to be a bit too complex, I was thinking to modify the modlauncher source if Matryx agrees.
Anyway, there is a little problem: as far as I understand, the RTC launches "se4.exe" - you can modify the dir (and thus specify a different file), but it has to be called "se4.exe". The modpicker should then be renamed, but I'd prefer not to create a "duplicate" se4.exe...
