[program] Lgr-loader beta
Final version has been reached
Hi,I worked a long time on the program now,and a lot of code has been changed and improved.The program has reached the status I can call 1.0
This doesn't mean there aren't any bugs in there,but none I know if at least.For the full explanation,read below :
I was searching on moposite and the net for a program that could easily let me select the .lgr I wanted to play.I returned with zero results.
So I wrote my own one !
The functions of the program are :
-You select the lgr you want and elma starts with the desired texturefile
-To delete the lgr's you dont need anymore
-Renaming of lgr's
How it works :
-When you start the program,it copys "Default.lgr" to "lgrbackup.bak"
-It removes the possible read-only from "Default.lgr"
-It copys the selected lgr to "Default.lgr"
-It runs Elma (if you choose to)
-When closing,it restores "lgrbackup.bak" back to "Default.lgr"
DOWNLOAD V1.0
(Make sure you place the included "Default.bak" in you lgr folder,if it isn't done automaticly.Otherwise the "Restore lgr" function won't work)
Some people could get a DLL-error,wich mean they miss the vb6.0 runtime files.I'm creating an installation for Lgrloader,wich will include these files

Update 1 : beta 0.5 is available See replys below for more info
Download here
Older news
THIS IS ONLY A BETA :
-Sometimes the lgr just isn't copied,but when you try again,it works
-There could be some problems with read-only and illegal filenames (not sure)
-When you have the windows colors on <=24bit colors,the pictures-background is darker than the rest of the program
-Only seems to work on win2000/xp , cause I'm using good old dos-commands (yes,win2000 still supports dos-commands )
How to run it :
-extract the .exe to your elma folder (the folder were elma.exe is in)
-make sure you have some custom .lgr's in you LGR folder
-run it,select the lgr and press "start"
Download it here
I'm looking for betatesters + people who want to see more functions
That's all folks

There are many bugs, but it works :)
I hope you make a win98 version soon so I can use it on my other comp...

Re: [program] Lgr-loader beta
AAAARRGGHHH!! I CAN'T MOVE THE DAMN THING!!! MAKE THE PROGRAM WINDOW MOVABLE!!!!!
Hey, don't worry It's not THAT annoying. And maybe it's just me.
Anway:
But this program is better. About the colors, they are not so bad except for the background, it should be brighter.

Really? Well I've made a "program" that could do that. (But actually it was originally a batch file and you could only choose lgrs from the built-in list)exe-cuter wrote:Hi,

Update 1 :
I've been wathing your replys and I changed these things (almost the whole code is different)
Updates :
-Changed some of the colors + it's now 256color-compatible
-The window is now movable
-Removed some typos
-Code should be win98 compatible.The file-copy chould work now under win98 , but if default.lgr is read-only you chould get a nice message that tells you how to change that manually.But because I don't have a win98 system here,I couldn't test it.
-When you haven't changed Default.lgr,it doesnt ask you to restore it when you exit
-Optimised the code + error messages
Known bugs :
-Renaming is not yet finished
-Don't minimize the window,because it won't be visible in the taskbar (I'm working on that)
-No other known bugs,but hell if there aren't !
Download beta 0.5 here
Please let me know what you think of it,cause I really need to find these bugs ! Thanks

Re: [program] Lgr-loader beta
that's exactly what i have been thinking to do for a long time with dos batch files. The idea is same, though it's more user-friendly to have the same as a single program.exe-cuter wrote: How it works :
-When you start the program,it copys "Default.lgr" to "lgrbackup.bak"

i wonder when someone will replace my startup folder batching system with some sort of a program..
Re: [program] Lgr-loader beta
Explain what you mean.i wonder when someone will replace my startup folder batching system with some sort of a program..
Sorry,this version didn't have that messagebox that warns you for these things.Now that I know it works with win98 too,I'm going to make version 1.0 , wich also includes the Default.lgr,so you never fuck up yours.I fucked up my default.lgr with it :/ had to download a new from moposite...
umm, what did you not understand of my reply?
you want me to explain how i would have done it with dos commands?
pretty much like you did as i said.
edit: oh, i see. i meant this one.
