Settings.ini GUI (PCLauncher) Final!

[brolly]

Yeah, if they use the exe it should be good.

Updated first post. Thank you for the info brolly.

Works like a charm, thanks again for all the help. On side note, would it be possible to implement bringing up the keymapper (xpadder or joytokey) profiles for editing?

I like the idea. I'm guessing you would like to select the game from the DropDown List. Then press a button to either open XPadder, JoyToKey, or Notepad with the associated games remap loaded for editing or else create a new profile for the game. Am I on the right track here? Or do you have this envisioned another way?

This sounds cool. I hope that when you say notepad you mean text editor of your choice. I personally use notepad++.

[DrMoney]

Yep, basically that. I do agree wit ghutch about selecting your own editor also.

FYI, in case you didn't know.

To open your default application for any file type in ahk, you just "run" that file:

Run, file.txt

[dustind900]

Thanks for the interest guys. I'll probably start working on this today. I myself only use ahk so I'll have to get the other two and play around with them to see how they work.

would there be any chance you can support having a blank default wheel-png added by your software per game where wheel is missing?

thanks

If a wheel was blank, how are you supposed to know what game it is?

3. HyperLaunch Specific emulator setup
   
4. suggestions???

combination of new features one and two will solve that problem

If I had to guess the new release will probably show up shortly after the release of the new HyperLaunch. Don't expect it to be feature packed right away. I don't have any special access to anything so new feature three will be a WIP. PCLauncher Module will be the only module/emulator supported at first. If anyone has any suggestions or thoughts now would be the time... Thank you

[RodentVienna]

please also look into the folder name thing -e.g.when i name the folder "PC Games A", then other paths still will be used as "PC Games" without respecting "A".

thanks

Not exactly sure what you are referring to.. This app has nothing to do with naming folders except for PopCap and OpenBOR.

suggestion:

I would like to be able to drag and drop shortcut files to the gui, and your app gets the path the shortcut is referring to.

^Laziness... JK ... I can do that

This has been added. You can drag and drop any file (lnk, exe, bat, ahk, etc...) onto the Gui and the correct information will be passed to the GuiControl the file was dragged to. Also If you drag a lnk (shortcut) file to the Application field any parameters that are in the shortcut will be passed to the Parameters field automatically.

I would like to note that while this has been added to the current version I am working on it is not available in any released versions.

Quick feature request. The ability to create a blank txt for selected game instead of creating txts for all. But make it an option. I have a lot of PC wheels for a lot of game sI don't even have. I know I could just go through the wheels and delete ones I don;'t have but meh lol.

wow where can i get the pic of your desktop background.

I don't think txt files will be needed in the new HL. I could be wrong. Either way games can already be added one at a time. Then just point your rompath to your wheel folder and set your romext to png. No deleting or txt files required

That would be awesome! Though I also have a lot wheels that i don't have games for LOL! Maybe I should just add the txts manually atm. Thanks again

[dustind900]

Like I said before you dont even need txt files at all. Use the latest version of my app to add any games you want to the settings file. Then follow the steps above to set your rom path and ext. The extra wheel files wont hurt anything. Add only the games you want to your xml database and hyperspin will ignore the rest.

[Pyramid_Head]

Cool ok man, I'll try that. Thanks! )

nice list of mugen games any chance you could do a video on them or give us a hint on where to get them lol

[dustind900]

What can you expect from the next version?

1. Get GameNames from XML or folder of choice. When choosing a folder ALL files within will be listed. Or you can skip this step entirely if you want.

2. GameList can be refreshed so adding to settings.ini from multiple sources is very easy.

3. Drag and Drop file to the app to quickly add path. Drag and Drop folder or XML to the app to fill GameList.

4. Seperate List to view games that are already in the settings.ini file and quickly edit or update any keys.

5. Fill in the FadeTitle Value effortlessly

6. Texts are optional and can be made per game or for all games in settings.ini.

7. Only the Keys that you fill in are added to settings.ini (no need for blank keys)

8. Also at this time I am dropping support for PopCap and MUGEN. This app (for now) will support only the PCLauncher Module.

Suggestions are still Welcome

http://www.mugenation.com/, http://mugenfreeforall.com/, http://mugenguild.com/. Those pages can then reference you to other pages. I'm sorry my answer isn't more direct but I'm not sure if I can post links to mugen games. Also I didn't get them all in one place. They are from numerous sources all of which can be found either by searching or from links within other mugen sites.
