I'm not sure if that would be possible because of how this works. I might be able to download patches to the game folders and run them but I'm not sure if it's possible to download files with Visual Basic. The other method would be including the patches with the program but that would just be adding more files than are needed. I'd also hate to piss off the people who made those patchers. Still, it's a good idea and I'll see what I can do.

Achievements with cute Loli faces, onliest top scores, msg board or chat

[Anonymous No.]

>>12615778
Chat is a pretty good idea, although there won't be any moderation and knowing the Touhou fanbase that could get bad quickly. Achievements and online highscores are impossible, though. At least until I become a master programmer who knows Touhou code inside and out.

Thank you for all your hard work, but I would be more willing to use this software if it did not require macrodong .NET cruft.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12615799
Depending on how sneaky ZUN is with his code, leaderboards could be as simple as using CE to locate a few relevant addresses. But then you'd have to host them, and you'd inevitably end up with people faking scores, so it's probably more trouble than it's worth.
Chat is an interesting problem in its own right, and not too difficult to tackle for a novice. I would recommend looking up the RFCs for the IRC protocol. I would also recommend looking into C# instead of VB.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12615819
Yeah, I was thinking of using a built-in web browser to do IRC. People submitting their scores is another good idea but will obviously be easily faked. This would be easier to moderate than IRC and I can remove most faked scores. Also, I don't know any C# so it would take too long to transfer this to the supreme programming language. Good idea for down the line, though.

Nigger, you click into one icon and still see like 22 icons inside the program vs you click one icon from the 22 icons and just starting the game in the first place.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12615906
I just pinned the program on my taskbar, so now it's click one icon and get 22 icons, vs click on folder, click on icon. This doesn't sound like much of a change, but it makes switching between games a breeze. I really like it, so far.

It just provides one more barrier, it's just like Steam games where you need to start Steam then start the games.

It's neater this way, less desktop clutter. There are also a few tools and I'll most likely add more but, hey, it's not like anyone's forcing you to use this and saying that you're an idiot if you don't. Do whatever, I won't care.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12615852
Yeah, I can understand that if you're just starting out. I would still highly recommend working on your own IRC client/server sometime, even if you never plan on releasing or reusing them. It's a great introduction to a lot of important topics like data structures, networking, concurrency issues, and so on. Also very satisfying when you get them working.

What was that software that can be used to Google translate erogenous? Ltgh or something, zip used it to play mangekyou bishoujo(which was pretty hot).

THAT shot could use something like this, instead of having to put lines of lines and searching forums just to get the codes to get the games working, something like this could be used to launch the games.

How could it be improved? Here's an image of what I have right now, the window's larger than previous versions so there's more room to look at the character and it's also handling transparency better so there aren't any huge white squares. I tried custom themes but it would only load images that are embedded into the program and can't, for example, look for custom.png in the program folder. I'll give it another go but in the meantime you can tell me which skins you'd like and I'll add them and make them look nice.

The type color and alignment is fucking horrible. It goes left, centered, then left again. The colors wash with some of the icons used.

OP please apply yourself.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12616885
Yeah, I've always hated how the colours look in this. For most games it's alright and readable but for some it's just downright horrible. I'll work on changing the images to improve readability but I'm colourblind so it might not be perfect. As for the fighting games being centred, I found that it looked better that way as there are characters on both sides in the images. If it bothers you then you can remove the images or text in the settings tab.

[Anonymous No.]

I'm making some themes at the moment, for characters that aren't in DDC which has 'good' art, should I go with their in-game art, fighting game art, or fan art?

Is there some way to integrate replays into the launcher?

Like I want to be able to load a script into greasemonkey that loads a rpy file from replays at gensokyo.org. Then, it would load up the launcher (might be idling in the taskbar or some shit) to detect its corresponding game. Then it would prompt the user whether it should copy the replay into the game's replay folder and load the game up.

It's always been a hassle to download and copy the rpy file manually and all that shit.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12617620
Very good idea! I've got a few ideas on how to do this. I don't usually save replays but they're all called thx_xx, right? If so I could have a web browser built in that browses the Gensokyo replays because I don't know how to do Greasemonkey. It'll be tough but very useful, I'll give it a shot.

Speaking of themes, I was thinking about how to make the current themes look better, and what if you did something like the stage clear screens from IN? Use GIMP or something to put a color filter over the sprite, and add in a simple, similarly colored background. I think it would look nice.

>>12618395
It keeps saying "game not found" even though I'm sending it to the executable. It also keeps saying "file exists" which is annoying and not helpful.

I'm sure there's something obvious I'm not doing but your UI design is seriously not helpful. If nothing else, if the game isn't found when I click on an item on the first menu, that should prompt me to find the file instead of telling me to go to the second tab.

It's great that you finished a project and all, because that puts you ahead of everyone who has an idea but never even delivers, but I have to agree it needs some serious work still. Good luck with that.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12618444
Thanks, I understand that it still has a lot of problems and that's why I've asked all over the internet for suggestions on how to improve it. Did you follow the readme file from clicking help?
The "file exists" dialog was from when I was testing it and I guess I never got around to removing it. It was way worse at the beginning, it used to tell you all the games that it added one at a time.
I like the idea of creating the shortcuts in the game tab, it'll make things less complicated.

[Anonymous No.]

I've read the whole thread and still don't understand; what does this do better than a folder of shortcuts on your desktop?

[Anonymous No.]

>>12618567
The main meat of it is essentially the same. I've included some features such as opening the AppData and root folders of the games and future updates will have the ability to download replays and extract them to the correct folder, loading PC98 games sort of like they're normal Windows games, download and apply patches and possibly IRC chat among others.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12618567
It depends on personal preference. I don't like keeping a lot of folders and shorts, nor do I use desk icons. So I use it through Steam. This saves me the trouble of having to add every single game, adding banners, and then having to do it all over again once steam randomly deletes all my non-steam games.

If it's not something that you find practical you don't need to use it, but it's a nice option for people who prefer GUI over explorer.

>>12615587
Also OP, making the UI just a tad more intuitive would be nice. Like instead of "create shortcuts", rename it to "apply games" or something like that so the user knows using the button is required.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12618631
Yeah, being the guy who created it and know what everything does makes it hard to measure how intuitive it is. I used 'create shortcuts' because I felt like it's the most accurate and couldn't think of anything else that would fit. I'll think about a better choice of words, though.

For small programs like this, .NET is often the right tool.

I think most people who hate on Java are users. It's the same kind of people who complain about Windows 7 using too much memory.

Just updated to 1.8. New folders under fangames can only be added as subfolders right now. Adding games to a subfolder also brings you back to the main folder after each game (annoying if adding a bunch of games). Also encountered a bug renaming a subfolder. It seems to happen when the new name is the same except for changing upper/lower case. I assume it's creating a new folder and deleting the old one instead of just renaming it or something.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12635435
Just noticed as well that it also seems to bring you back to the main "fan" folder when you rename something in a subfolder.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12635435
Hi, thanks for the feedback. I've only allowed subfolders to be within the 'fan' folder because it makes it much easier for me to program knowing that it's all under the same folder. There's also the problem of the 'th0x' folders for the PC98 games as they will show up as well. I'll try and sort something out, though. Not sure if it's possible without it taking forever but it's worth the effort. About renaming files and folders and adding games, I'll sort something out. It'll be easy to make it stay in the same folder for the games but I'm not sure if I could do it with the folder list. That'll be fine though because it's much less annoying and, to be honest, I can't think of a solution for the folders off the top of my head right now. That renaming bug is weird, though. It renames the folder like Windows normally does so it shouldn't do this. I guess that it's a bug with VB so I'll try and make it throw a message box instead of an error.
This one might be a bit of a mess in some areas because I felt that it had been too long since the last update and I didn't test it as much as I should have. I'll try and get a new update out soon to fix these problems, but 'soon' depends on how many other things I want to add.

Mostly just UI tweaks occur to me so far. "Create Shortcuts" would probably be best off as "Save" if I'm understanding the function correctly. Is there no way to package the whole launcher into a single executable? Creating a separate folder just for the launcher seems to defeat its purpose at the moment.

[Anonymous No.]

>>12641257
I've always been thinking of a better word for 'create shortcuts' but it was difficult because it's the most accurate one as it creates shortcut files. I'll think about changing it to 'save', though, it also makes sense. The launcher doesn't have to be in its own folder but it's much easier for the user if it is. The folders it creates are for the shortcut files and without them it wouldn't be able to do its job. Also the 'ja' folder is for Japanese people and weeaboos so you can delete that if you want, it's where the language file goes and I don't know why it needs its own file.

The shortcut files are necessary, huh? You can't store them as URLs? Sorry, I'm not a programmer.

I think the point of UI is to communicate to the user what the button is for, not what it really does. "Create Shortcuts" is accurate but doesn't really tell the user why they want to press it.

I'd also consider adding a greyed-out or crossed-out replacement for games the user doesn't presently have installed, although I guess ideally this would be packaged into a game torrent for people who want all of them.

I could store the file path to the games in the program but I don't for a few reasons. Firstly, it would require rewriting at least a third of the code (and there's 4,361 lines at the moment) which would take far too long for such an, honestly, almost pointless change. Secondly, if someone either already has shortcuts or uses THCRAP then they can copy those shortcuts into the folder. If I didn't use shortcuts then THCRAP support wouldn't even work. Finally, the user can edit and organise shortcut files like in the fan games browser and that could mess up games if it was changing the actual file name and not the shortcut name.

As for the UI, you're right. I'll make the change now. Greying out games that haven't been set up is a good idea, I'll work on that, too.

Also, I wouldn't really like this to be torrented after I spent so much time making a download counter a week and a bit ago but it's not like that matters, what matters is that people enjoy it so do whatever with it.

I suppose that's true. Now that I think about it, the best solution is probably to keep the launcher in its own folder with the rest of the games, and just have a shortcut to the launcher that sits on top, with all the mess neatly cleaned away. It makes sense now.

I'm not threatening to do so or anything, it just seems like the ultimate point of a launcher is to streamline the experience for the user, and the ultimate form of streamlining is a single download with a single executable, and everything else packed into one big folder. That's just me though, do whatever you like!

Yeah, it's not like I'm against this being in a torrent, it makes a lot of sense for it to be. I just like knowing how many people downloaded this although when there's an update they'll have to get it from my website so it's not exactly a big deal. If anyone puts it in a torrent I'd just like them to email or tweet to me so I know. Maybe I'm just being awkward, though.

I don't think there's any such thing as a well-adjusted Touhou fan. Anyway, I don't think a prepatched megatorrent is workable until someone releases a standalone patch for DDC, and god knows when that will happen.

Totally raised my botnet alarm.
Thx ass.

But if it's a botnet why would he need to have people download it from his site? Couldn't it just report itself in that case? I'm not a programmer so all my knowledge about that stuff is second hand. Please explain.
