- You can now define Maps/Replay, AI folders (saved into registry).

Browse buttons can do the trick here and be more useful

@Wormbeast: True about the widescreen version of the application, but the launcher can be made more compact if some elements are removed or edited like the big logo on the left side and the online stats.

Also for number 8, a "Close the app" pop-up could be implemented if the launcher is running in background.

@$ omaha }{: Valkirie can make a server where updated versions of the maps are hosted and no dupes are present. The maps should also be named "(2) - mapname" and no "f25c859ab437cd55d0b8e44db4406490f8956c67ab733ae7388c6e5e6ee5398d".

[later edit]: Also, activate a Quit and About tab below the application name. Nobody knows that when "0.18" is clicked, an About message pops-up

I'm investigating for further issues. Will let you know if something comes up.

Another couple of issues found:

1. Launcher displays instead of the online results, an error box with the message "Navigation to the webpage was canceled" if the application is started with no internet access.
2. No startup sound if the application is launched with no internet access.
3. Application crashes with the "Unhandled exception..." error message if the following steps are followed:
- have no internet access;
- run the application;
- select Download map from server;
- click on Download button;
4. Make a smaller logo image in the left area of the launcher (more space for further development, maybe race selection).
5. Liked most the old interface with a single panel (more professional).
6. If the application is started with no internet access, map and difficulty is selected and also the "Upload map" option is set to "Yes", the game will run fine, but upon any game exit, the application will crash with the "Unhandled exception..." error message.
7. Make also the application to be started only in one instance.
8. Make the application to automatically close if the game is exited.
9. Disable or remove the "Upload map" option, keep only the "Download map from server".

I can give you updated versions of the existing maps (nearly 20) with loading screens. I can see that on your server are also a lot of dupes.

Keep in touch

Disable the maximize button is the next version. The application can be maximized and looks nasty
