Launch Base Beta Test

[Marshall]

I swear I posted here on Wednesday. Oh well.

Code:

Launch Base:
Version 0.99.0018 [2007-11-03]
Fixed crash on startup if InstallPath registry entry was 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.
After installing or uninstalling a plugin, prerequisites for the selected mod were not re-evaluated. 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 program option 'Initialise Log'. If checked, this option will erase the existing log file every time Launch Base starts.
Added new program 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.
Added new game option 'Campaign Speed Control'. This option will enable the speed control in campaign games.
If a mod does not require the RockPatch then it must be uninstalled before the mod can be launched (this is in light of announcements made by pd regarding RockPatch2).
Fixed bug where Windows' shut down would be cancelled if Launch Base was running.
Fixed bug where the main Launch Base window would lose focus after uninstalling a plugin.
Can now right-click on website hyperlink to copy the url to the clipboard.
Fixed crash that could occur if Recompile Mods was turned on.
Improved splash screen progress bar.
Mod Catalogue will now get most of its information from a mod's update check file. Mod authors who have a mod listed in the catalogue will need to update their update check file using the information provided in the help topics of the latest version of Launch Base Mod Creator.
Removed some redundant verbose logging.
Updated help files.

Launch Base Mod Creator:
Version 0.99.0007 [2007-11-03]
Installers will now make sure that Launch Base or other installers are not running.
Banner image will now be extracted as <banner.*> regardless of the original filename.
Updated help files.

LB is still unable to remove an empty 'video' folder.

The LB uninstall routine is not very smart, it needs to be told to expect an empty folder at a certain point. LBMC generates a list of files and folders as it finds them - Launch Base works backwards through the list. Your list should read as follows:

Code:

[Uninstall]
1=video
2=video\expandmd02.mix
3=video\gamemd.exe
4=launcher\banner.bmp
Lines=4

If you were to put video at the end of the list then LB would display an error message complaining that there are residual files in the video folder.
