it makes it more easily modified to have external data files.. if you EXPLICITLY requested a single integrated file then my entire arguement goes flying out the window and avenger is right - because he's writing the program to the customer's specifications which changes EVERYTHING

[two weeks and 4,059 posts in this topic later- everyone involved is either dead or has left except for Avenger and Kazan, still countering each other in techspeke that both are just pretending to understand  ]
Kazan: Ever wonder why the last 1000 post have been just us talking?
Avenger: Yes, let's resolve our differences, make friends, and get some actual programming done for those needy lazy HLP modders.
Kazan: Together!
Avenger: Awww...

The dialogue may be stilted, but otherwise I can guarantee this topic will go exactly like I just said- anyone wanna end this now, before I get any more confused and start contributing with my limited technical knowledge?

Why not challenging them to make their own version of a prog that would be useful to every modder? For once, it wouldn't be someone against me

Umm Kazan, then good bye to your arguement.

I asked Avenger explicity for a launcher program using a single .exe file which behaves like the FS2 launcher and does not require "file shuffling" of pilots and modifications.

In these efforts, he's more than succeeded.

Now the installer is based off of an older one he did, and he's using and adding onto it for his own projects. But overall it is designed to what I asked and required.

I have two words to say about this thread.

  Absolutely not!  

We here in the forums cannot solve your problems for you. If you can't work it out on your own terms, don't drag it on here.

Avenger, I must say, I am rather appalled that you even started a thread like this.

Let's not do this again, mmmk?

I never want to see something like this again, understood?  I am not impressed with anyone here.
