***UTILITY*** FL System Studio

Looks good so far

I havent actually sat down and harassed it yet

but kudos

WE ARE NOT AMUSED...
Your app edited my Universe.ini and removed all of my custom systems

Not to mention the Bases contained therein

Also upon playing with it, i cannot get it to save any details for a system being edited...
oh welps ne'er mind... backups are a good thing after all

Stryfe: I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your systems. It turns out that the app uses a case-sensitive section title [system and [base. If the section title is not the same case, my app will not pick it up. I have already fixed this and this change will be in the next release, which is planned for this saturday or sunday. However, as you said, backups are good, and from the sound of it you managed to recover from the loss.

As for saving the details for the systems, it *should* work so I will look into the code and try to see if I can spot any problems, however, with the next release I have set up some better error reporting so that if the program does not edit/save/open as planned, it will notify you without quitting, which should help me fix the errors as well as help you report them.

either today or tomorrow. i have a few more things to fix with reading/writing of the system files and I'm hoping to have base reading/writing complete. if i can't have base reading/writing complete by tomorrow afternoon, i will release it with the base stuff disabled.

Ok, I need to ensure that you have the Visual Basic Runtime Files installed.
Where are those files and if I don't have them, where do I get them? I don't have VB, is that needed ? I'd like to make my own systems fast..

And btw, does it matter where I unzip it all ?

this programm keepssaying i have to check my fl/mod dir since it can't find universe.ini
when i point it to d:\freelancer where i have it installed it keeps switching it back to c:\program files\freelancer in the settings
basicly the settings don't get saved i guess

Thu May 08, 2003 2:18 am by GreyWolf

i fixed my problem by editing the settings.ini
seems the options don't get saved , so i saved it myself
problem i get now is a popup saying unexpected error #53

Well, it's been a while since I was here, but now that school has ended for the summer, I have come back to dust of my system studio. as of right now it is getting a complete rewrite with cleaner, more stable code, *AND* DirectX 3D Rendering. I have no planned release as of yet, as I am still playing around with the DirectX libs and such. Anywho, just letting anyone who cares know that i got something in the works. peace
