SJ : Thanks I'll be sure to start afresh.
As for the X, well I could knock it down by 1 or 2 pixels (it's currently the same sizeas the in-game X)

ok : current ToDo
- possible separate button to enable Users to run 1 savegame under a different mod (don't see why they would need this if they kept their games organised )
- Decrease the X size
- Add ini file to store UserNumbers / passwords for specific games (Encrypted of course)
- Get utility included in SE4 patch
- Get free copy of SE4 for writing utility

That reminds me of a little BASIC program I wrote when I was really little.

It would take any text file and encrypt it by adding a random number to the ASCII value of each character
Have fun breaking that code

Ok, I've just started work on V1.6 and I'm sure I should have it finished within an hour or so.
SJ : I've not used basic for years but does this look familiar? :-
Randomize(i)
Print(file,ASC(ord(Password[i])+round(rnd(i)*100)))

Puke: If that was a serious offer then I am most appreciative

Ok here is V1.6
This Version adds support for.....
AUTOMAGIC PASSWORDS
Once you've entered your usernumber and password for a particular game, the program will store it for future reference.
The password is encrypted so you dont need to worry about people opening the .ini file to read it.
Also, on a minor note, the X (for closing the prog) has been reduced in size by 2 pixels
SJ : I guess there's just no pleasing some people :P

As usual, 3 flavours of download.
.Zip (183 K)
.Rar (170 K)
.Ace (146 K)

Enjoy.

Ok I'm sort of at a loose end now.
Short of starting work on an "all-in-one" mod maker I can't really think of anything that needs adding to the Mod-Picker
If anyone can think of any features they want or find any bugs you know where to post.
