I'm writing about the advantage that more people are able to write the ui, and I think websites are for a great part ui's. If you're asking if I have the ability to make GUIs then yes, you can literally draw them using Qt creator/designer. If you're asking if I'm going to do it for the purposes of this project, probably not right now as I've got barely enough time to play TDM as it is. I just don't think that website development translates well to desktop development. But you are right, these days you'll certainly find more people in general able to do UI development using web-based technologies, so in terms of the availability of people it most definitely has an advantage over traditional native apps. BTW, that joke about rewriting using Rust is because it's basically a meme in the programming community to rewrite old codebases in Rust because it's more secure or something like that. Plus it has a lot of fanboys. Just wanted to address the confusion. Edited October 30, 2022 by Xolvix 2 Quote A word of warning, Agent Denton.

But the launcher can use the file one of its datasources. I meant to say that this could be the file to use when adding notes to TDM itself and not another launcher, as half of it, loading and saving, already works.

Knockout Thief Posted October 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Getting close to what I want, just need to finish implementing notes and rating, it will read the FMS folder and gather the info and will launch whatever FM is selected fine. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freyk Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Very nice. Do you also add a mission downloader to this launcher? Quote Info: My portfolio and darkmod graphical installer Amnesty for Bikerdude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knockout Thief Posted November 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 It's written in c# but I use MS Visual Studio so not sure how hard it would be to put on other platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freyk Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) Well it is easy if you use dotnet 4.7 (or lower), it should run on wine/proton on linux/mac. It is less easy, when you port the code using mono/gtk# (linux/mac). And it is hard, when you port it to another language. (But easy when you share/opensource the code) Edited November 1, 2022 by freyk 1 Quote Info: My portfolio and darkmod graphical installer Amnesty for Bikerdude!

(But easy when you share/opensource the code) Depending on what it's using, if it's simple enough it should be able to run using Mono on Linux though. Look at how KeePass 2 runs on Linux to see how to run a .NET application in Linux (specifically the Other Unix-like systems section): https://keepass.info/help/v2/setup.html#mono Quote A word of warning, Agent Denton.

freyk Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 Is there a new status of your launcher. @Knockout Thief Can we download the binary and source from somewhere to try it?

STiFU Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 I feel like these efforts should go into the ingame mission viewer rather than an external application that most people are never going to see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datiswous Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 I don't mind if there is an alternative way of browsing missions / mod, also because of gui limitations. But installing such things could be better supported. Like a mods installer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snatcher Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 We need ratings and sorting: Alphabetical Not started / In progress / Complete User rating Till then a launcher has a place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snatcher Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 @Knockout Thief I like A LOT what I see. Thank you very much for your work! I get crashes, though. Let us know when you are ready to resume work, I will gladly support the development with crash reports and suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockout Thief Posted February 25 Author Report Share Posted February 25 From the looks of it , it may be a month or two before I can get back to coding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freyk Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 (edited) It is a nice start. dont forget to cleanup your binary folder. === For the ones who want to try this launcher: download the 7zip package open the 7zip file with 7zip extract only file "TDMLaunch.exe" from folderlocation "TDMLaunch.7z\TDMLaunch\bin\Debug\" to your tdm folder. Run a mission: When you start this launcher, click on tab "settings", select the needed folders and hit button "scan fm". This will fill-up the missions table, in the launch tab. double click on a mission to select it and click on the "Run mission" button.
