What's a path.txt file?

Isn't that the file that tells you how to get to Grandmother's house? You know, over the forest and through the woods...

Matryx, or anybody else when you use the modpicker: does the modpicker seem to flicker, or distort?

Cause it is with mine and I'd like to know if this is just my problem.

It flickers for me as well. I think it's because the button pictures are all updated each time the mouse hovers over one so it can draw the grid on the appropriate button.

Yep,
Works fine on Multiple monitors now.

I think you may find that transparency programs cause my program to flicker *insanely*
things like WindowFX and DesktopX
I could get rid of this I suppose but it's not *urgent*.

It is partly caused by the images changing on hover etc and partly by the refreshing (which takes place every 30 seconds)

I'll look into it

Cool. See you next year!

Gryphin.
Are you asking me to use a sans serif font?
Because the launcher *attempts* to use the SE4 font.
Try copying the SE4 fonts you your winnt/fonts or windows/fonts or winxp/fonts (whichever is relevant) and restart your machine.
(Futurist Medium I think it is, but basically everything in the SE4 fonts directory)

*Another Version*
This one removed the flicker effect.

Matryx ,
Very nice, Thanks.
My own request is due to my vision.
It is easier for all people, (and me especially), to read sans serif fonts on a computer screen.
Interestingly it is earier for people to read serif fonts on hard copy.

lol
So the next "feature" is a built in scenario / map editor
Somehow I think that's a little beyond my scope
