Title: Small Launcher Sugestion
Post by: magatsu1 on September 05, 2004, 04:39:46 pm

I'm not asking Fractux to rewrite the launcher or anything, but it'd be nice to include FRED builds with the "FS Open exe." rather than having to go to "any exe"

A small annoyance given the hadwork he'll have put into it I admit.

What does the launcher have to do with FRED?

when you run the launcher you choose which exe ("browse")

FRED doesn't need a launcher right now. The launcher is good for lots of command line options. FRED has only 3 AFAIK (-fredhtl, -frednowarn, -mod XXX), and those are ones that you'll almost always use. Just use shortcuts.

Fractux wrote the FS_Open installer not the Launcher. The launcher is mostly Random Tigers work AFAIK.

While we're on the subject I wouldn't mind seeing the Launcher including multi-mod support. At the moment you have to select no mod and put them in by hand. Not a huge problem but it would be nicer to see the launcher support it. :)

At the moment most people probably haven't even noticed that FS2_open supports more than one moddir :)

there's lots of stuff people don't notice about FSO, hell we had a guy come in and ask about fighter beams not to long ago, wich as you might remember was like the first thing to be done with the source.

You would think the Inferno trailers released recently would give that away :)

Jeez, what an asshole. :nervous:

And that was my error with the tables, not a dig at the SCP.

And the geomod support. You'd be amazed how many people miss that.
