Done autostart for SE4, so now it works as a modlauncher, for several different exe Versions aswell.
One click on a listbox on the first page and this is the result, both the program and se4.exe starts:
You can enter the password to the games in the application and so start games that do or don't use a mod without entering any password.
You can password protect the application itself, have an open protected system (passwords in applictaion replaced by '*', no pasword required for application) or unprotected system (All passwords shown in clear text, no password needed to enter the application)
The option is yours.
You can use ver 1.84 or 1.91 exe for your games.. any mod you like.
Have started on the mail functions and will do the external file autostart soon too, then you'll get a notification (if you want to) when a new turn exist and can press a button to download (if you don't want it download automaticly) the turn and start SE4.exe and the companion application.
Most things in this application will be user choosable.
I'll write the help and readme before releasing the beta, but the sourcecode only after it's bug free and final.
No mail or internet contact from the app is sent or received without approval from the user.
There is some things that can only be done by rightclicking on the event text, I'm afraid many people will miss this. I don't know how to inform properly about these functions without cöluttering up the space, I don't want to use a tooltip on that component as that is used often, hmm must remember to make tooltips user choosable..
(hmm, I see on the image that the SE4 fonts weren't used, will have to look into this...)
