The E:
Very nice indeed. However, here are a few suggestions:

There are several things going wrong here. Why is the feature list using a different (extremely ugly) font, and not the system default one? Why is the preset selector not rendered correctly? Why doesn't the current commandline text field show the entire current commandline, including the -mod arguments?

The design here is very messed up, and needs to get cleaner. Controls and boxes rendered over one another are :ick:

On a more general note, the artwork, especially the big W M A B strip, is ugly. I would prefer a cleaner, slicker design like the one featured here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=65239.0

Oh, and the links on the Welcome page should probably be to the Hard-Light Wiki and the Hard-Light Forums. There are a few different FS2 forums out there, and even though HLP is the biggest, we are not the only ones :)
While we're on the subject of links, please provide one to the Troubleshooting FAQ.

BUGS FOUND:

The image retrieval code does not seem to be able to handle a nested mod folder structure. In this case, both "Blue Planet" and "Blue Planet 2" should show images, they don't.
The folder structure looks like this:
blueplanetsvn\
---blueplanet -> For AoA
---blueplanet2 -> For Wih

When using the mod.ini for one of the mod folders, the Launcher mangles the -mod argument beyond recognition:

kkmic:
Keep 'em coming! The bug reports I mean :p

@The E: Please note that kinky word in the topic title: alpha :nod:

That means that there is still work to do until the launcher reaches the "features implementation complete" stage - and the start of beta.

The WMBAI images are, of course, placeholders. We have an artist working on some icons, but we have no ETA from him ATM.

As for the nested folder structure, we haven't planned for this. That's probably why the launcher mangles up the -mod flag.

So here comes the stupid question: is the current launcher able to handle nested folder mods? While I expect a "Yes" answer, I thought it won't hurt to ask anyway. :p

The E:
Yep, the Launcher handles those structures just fine. Except in cases where the commandline gets too long, of course.

And I noticed tha Alpha in the title, but ignored it :p.

Bobboau:
/*looks at feature list*/
/*notices will be available under all platforms*/
/*wipes tear from eye*/

Aardwolf:
Installer screws up royally if I try to put it in C:\Games\wxLauncher... the launcher can't find the splash screen, then keels over dead. Works fine if I install it to the default place, though.

This is on Windows 7 (Premium)
