Should be useful for anyone who doesn't know how to edit .ini files manually with notepad++ or something similar.
Is it a standalone editor? - if so it could be adapted like one of the old dos settings menus you ran to setup your game before first run no!?
I've never looked into whether Visionaire's player had and command line options
Its written with AutoIt, really simple language to learn, its a bit like Action Script 2 and C basic
the code is like (the script the tool uses)

Customizable launcher would be really useful for people with shitty laptops/pc's to change res / graphics options before launching the game as I've come across many a game that launched in default hi-res / best graphic settings & then had to spend 5 minutes getting into options to choose lower res & graphics (walking dead / vessel etc)
tested it on the glenfx demo. should probably make it self close after clicking "launch game". & maybe consider hiding the project & exe file data ... & a advanced options section for the error log option.
Aside from that - it's all good
(p.s tried editing this to my last post but it doesn't seem to want to save/update)
I can't save edits either hence my two extra posts
logo & dev info would go on an about section via file menu > about or on a tab.
yep vis/exe should be hidden but log options should be shown if you check a checkbox or click a (forgotten name of it) arrow thingy that slides sections up/down. - bloody memory is terrible.
Just keep a confirm message & let it launch game straight after or have an checkbox option for if it should launch after save?
a save or launch checkbox is easy, I love checkboxes lol
thanks for the input mate
ahh you mean the icon on the top left?
seeing as AutoIT is a free program we can use your code to compile our own launch menus & just add credits on it for you seeing as you've done the hard work
Seeing as the
Key Killer
Imperator
thingy isn't nulling emoticons :P upload a txt file or something with the finished code
