Launch Base Beta Test

[Marshall]

Version 0.99.0018 [not yet released]
Fixed crash on startup if InstallPath registry entry missing.
Plugin status label would show a 'hand' cursor on mouse over. Fixed.
Plugin status label would sometimes not be correct on startup. Fixed.
After installing or uninstalling a plugin, the plugin status label was not updated. Fixed.
Verbose Log is no longer available from options menu as this is for debug only. This is now a command line parameter "-verbose"
Added new option 'Initialise Log'. If checked, this option will erase the existing log file every time Launch Base starts.
Added new option 'Automatic RockPatch'. This option will automatically install the version of RockPatch required for the mod you are launching (if you have the required version). If the mod you are launching does not require the RockPatch then the RockPatch will be uninstalled.
Added a new flag for RockPatch plugins that tells Launch Base how backwards-compatible the RopckPatch plugin is. Note that the RP-Gen tool used by pd has not been updated to make use of this new flag yet, but it will in time.
Updated help files.

After uninstalling a plugin, the LB window disappears to the background.

This doesn't happen for me. May be an XP-only thing. Will hopefully be getting my new computer very soon so can test this.

The filename of a logo you chose in MC won't be renamed to banner.bmp, so it's not shown in LB

Have fixed this, will release new version of LBMC soon.

But after adding 'banner.bmp' to the uninstall list, LB is still unable to remove an empty 'video' folder.

Can you give me an example of where LB won't remove an empty 'video' folder? I can't seem to replicate this.

Same after installing a RP version and chaning back to mods tab, button is still deactivated.

Haven't checked this yet. I suspect my recent changes will have already resolved this but I will double check.

The problem of the ModC is...

You're absolutely right. It makes no sense for the mod catalogue to contain many of the fields that it does. I will look at what changes need to be made. I suspect that a separate info file will be used and the url to the info file will be all that gets stored in the Mod Catalogue.
This will mean that the Mod Catalogue does not work at all without an Internet connection, but it doesn't do an awful lot as it is without an Internet connection so I don't think that matters.

When running, LB prevents a computer from shutting down. Just nothing happens except other running programs quit.

Same problem happens for me, not sure why. I will look into this.
