i dunno, a small little app like that shouldnt need all those .net schenanigans.

and besides, theres a certain je ne sais quoi to the old launcher that yours lacks. its just missing the charm.

MFC is an atrocity and I can't get WTL/ATL working.

I had to go with some sort of framework... java, .net, wxpython, gtk, whatever. Java is crap, python + wxpython is probably more complicated for most to get installed, and I know nothing of gtk, so I am left with .net.

Nice program Fyron, however I don't like the icon you are using for it.

Perhaps in a later version you could change that.

Have you looked at wxWidgets?

I've uploaded v0.12, which adds the ability to delete savegames and fixes an issue with trying to launch a savegame as host without a password. Default player # for new savegames has been set to 1 instead of 0. I've been trying to get password importing from matryx mod launcher working, but .net is being very finicky about reading in the encrypted characters.

Due to some OS malfunctions, I have had to reinstall windows. I upgraded to vs 2k5, which results in the project being upgraded to .NET 2.0. From now on, it will require the 2.0 framework:

.NET 2.0 Framework

Now, for the update! This new version 0.20 adds the ability to process turns as host, storing a separate password from the player password. The confirm dialog displays a report on the existence of the plr files.

I loaded .Net after discovering the new version didn't work.

I am getting an error message, attached.

Try the new version 0.21 (in first post).

v0.21 will automatically zip up the savegame files for you when you use the host process function.
