Mess's Zandronum / Skulltag Launcher
« on: October 10, 2012, 10:05:00 PM »
I posted about this in the Zandronum topic, but since I've been updating it a little bit, I figured it could use a topic of it's own.

A MM8BDM Launcher that works with both Skulltag and Zandronum written in VB.NET. It requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 and is only Windows compatible.

Here's what it does:
-Automatically detects the presence of Zandronum.exe and Skulltag.exe (thus allowing you to switch between engines)
-Add/Remove WADS/PK3s and reorder them as you wish
-Creates a Zandronum ini file from your skulltag ini file if Zandronum is present with Skulltag (Copies your settings)
-Allows you to join a server (Either skulltag or Zandronum, choose the correct engine)
-Can select the main PK3 for the game (Defaults to MM8BDM-v2c.pk3) so it's possible to use with v1a or even the SGC demo
-Can host servers (Can also be used to host DOOM/HERETIC/HEXEN if ya know what you're doing)
-Probably crashes a lot....also probably bugs, you have been warned.

Here's what it does NOT do
-NOT a replacement for the main launcher. This is merely something so people can mess around with Zandronum before the official v3a release. (Also, 64 player Cutman, lul)
-Does not make bacon

As always, the standard warnings apply: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I will not be held responsible if this blows up your computer, opens a black hole in your living room etc etc etc.

3b Notes:
-Double click the iwad or main wad text fields to bring up a file selection menu.

To use, extract this into your MM8BDM folder and run as you would the normal launcher. To use Zandronum, install Zandronum to your MM8BDM folder as well.
