    welcomes smile

    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 wink

    Seeing as the 

     thingy isn't nulling emoticons :P

    upload a txt file or something with the finished code wink

    I can post the AutoIT file no problem, you can get rid of the window border, I'll create an image slot and comment the script to make it more obvious to how it works.. Would functions be easier rather than Case?

    AutoIt is a awesome little program for form based applications, and launchers, you could parse the config.ini if you wanted, and set the options from the original

    functions rather than case? (I have no idea) razz

    // comments on script would definitely be nice mind.

    What do you mean set the options from the original?

    Take line [code] $Form1 = GUICreate("Config Utility", 615, 316, -1, -1) [/code] 615, 316 is the width, height of the window, -1.-1 plants the window centre sceen, its easiy enough to make the wndow bigger, I need to add a image slot so an image will display

    Case just assumes its an onclick event in this gui, its looks tidier but can be restrictive. Functions you can add a lot more and contain the code, jump to functions etc

    If you can parse the config.ini that comes with the game you can fill the form in automatically based on that config, I don't think its really needed but I might add a save as copy for the original

    Does that language support html? For example , can it ping a website? I want to check if a file exists on a website before it runs the game. (like a validation)

    it wouldn't affect the game in anyway as you'd still be able to launch the game via the actual game .exe file.

    you could probably find a compiler to create an installer which needs a registration key to install the game.

    you'd need to find a good one is all!

    check the validation thread you created ... then check in templates for text input lock demo thingy.

    there's a text input thing you could implement in the game which you could set as something only people who paid for the game could know.

    AutoIt does have internet options but I wouldn't be having software dialing home, if I wanted online checks I'd use Flash/flex, like AFRLme· said the best you'll ever get is the launcher starting the player, it is possible to get the player running in a AutoIt shell but I have no idea how to do it and I doubt the AutoIt forum would help as they are very much against Autoit hacks with games, sadly with it being so easy to use it does get abused
