I continue and continue to work on the Add On manager.
Vash helped me by giving me direct access to the Orbit hangar site. It is not quite perfect yet but It will be so simple when finished that this manager could be a must have tool. Many Thanks to him !
What the manager can do today :
- direct download of add'on (in background)
- manage dependencies between addons
- unzip and unrar.
- Add'on that are exe can be managed too
- Patchs of configuration (CFG and INI) Only modified parameters are recorded
- added a default orbiter configuration (screen size, joystick, genral visual parametrs)
- Direct web browser integration allowing to see the associated add'on page directly in the tool
- Auto-configuration of add'on parameters using Orbit Hangar main site.
- patch code are automatically created using directory compare.
- Association of add'ons are set using simple drag'n drop !
But that's not enough.
I need a better handling of add'ons and how to add and remove one in an existing Orbiter configuration. That the current point I must work on.
I think it can be ready for beginning of 2010, perhaps before for an incomplete beta version.
Next, I'll integrate the idea of Mission and record scores. It will take some time again.
any help is welcome
