Launch Base Beta Test

[Marshall]

I certainly like the idea of a Status label for plugins. There is space for it so I will certainly do something along those lines. Not sure about an alternative button though - that would require quite a bit more work and would also require another skin element.


If you install plugin version 1, upgrade it to version 2, and then try to install version 2 over the top, there won't be a problem - Launch Base knows it's the same one because it is in the same folder and has the same name. Launch Base will uninstall version 1 first.

However, if you install version 1, then download and add version 2 to Launch Base in a separate folder then version 1 will not be removed first so there could be issues.
The exception to this is the Terrain Expansion and RockPatch - these have special flags so Launch Base knows that you are only allowed to install one of each of these at a given time. You can have multiple versions of these set up in Launch Base. If you try to install a version of the TX/RP from another folder then Launch Base will tell you to uninstall the other version first.

And I can see that there could be some confusion with the term 'installed' now.
There is 'installed in Launch Base by an installer' and 'installed in the game by Launch Base'. Hopefully that won't confuse too many people.

Oh, and thanks gordon for that splash image. It's way better than mine and I do plan on using it so thanks.
