Launch Base Beta Test

[Marshall]

Code:

Version 0.99.0038 [2008-02-15]
Fixed bug where closing LiveLog and reopening it would clear the log entries from the window.
Fixed crash that could occur if a mod included a <.txt> string table.
After installing a mod, the mod's disk usage will now be recalculated. Note that, when uninstalling a mod, disk usage changes due to new screenshots and save games, etc are ignored.
Improved Launch Base internal error handling.
Fixed bug that prevented mods being auto-launched via command line switch.
Attempting to install the RockPatch or Terrain Expansion when they are already installed will no longer display an error message - Launch Base will simply uninstall the existing RP/TX first, automatically.
When installing a mod, disk space requirements will now be calculated more accurately, however the space needed for extracting the original audio.bag, ra2md.csf and side*.mix files, as well as the requirements for converting *.ogg files to *.wav, are still not calculated (the safety space value is assumed to account for this).

I am planning a big change for plugins.
The plugin list will be replaced with multiple drop-down lists (one for each plugin) so that you can select the version of the plugin that should be installed.
All plugins will have to be known to Launch Base in advance, however as plugins have to have security keys anyway this shouldn't be a problem.

There will be a new directory "Plugins".
The Terrain Expansion would always be stored in "Plugins\TX\[version number]"
The RockPatch would always be stored in "Plugins\RP\[version number]"
The official map packs would always be stored in "Plugins\yrmaps\[version number]"
...and so forth.

Plugins will only have their update check file listed in the mod catalogue, not in the liblist.gam file. Plugin files may be lumped together rather than categorised.

Thoughts?
