I got the same error...
Good work either way...
Hope to see it fixed up a bit soon...

Guess this is related to the export config function, cause I get the same error when selecting that from the menu... (I know readme says it needs to be finished, just giving some tesing results)

I was about to get this but I saw it was 13+MB. That seems a bit overkill for a config file creator. Seeing how I'm on dialup I opted not to get it yet.

If someone would be sound kind as to post a temparary screenshot of it...

EDIT: Just noticed the screen link. My bad.

Yeah.. I was going to request a slimed down version for those that already have VB6 installed... also it seems to update the DATA ACCESS components... MDAC... could you have 2 versions, 1 with these and 1 without... I'm guessing it would be less then 2 megs without these in the install...

EDIT: Also, it doesn't (probably a known problem), but when creating the XML it doesn't close some of the tags properly...

For example... just going in and doing a new, creates the following code.. you will see the errors...

instead of <Unleashx>

This following lines should read:

CODE

The upper/lowercase corrections are needed to make the output file compatible with internet explorer/proper xml handling...

It's nice to be able to open it up in IE to verify that you have a good file...

Thank you again...

EDIT:
All the above listed errors have been fixed by scorpianuk

The first download was 94kb. I guess it would be good to create a separate package since these support files are readily downloadable off the net.

try this link

change www.micros$ft.com to the correct spelling

I can't create a proper link, because the forums change Micr$soft to MS...

To scorpianuk:

When I open the program.. then I click

FILE -> OPEN -> CANCEL

I get the following error:

Sorry, I forgot to mention this before.... Not a big deal... just a small annoyance...

Thank you very much for fixing the other errors strait away... and also for providing the slim version...

Also... still intrested much in the source code if you are willing to share...

Hey scorpianuk,

something went wrong when you updated the file on my site, maybe you closed the browser before it finished?

Anyway, what I think is an older copy is back up there now as the updated one deleted them both

I have 2 different ones... I'll send them over 2 you when I get home... (another 8 hours)... Thank you for all the great work... it's beyond great.. it's super... thank you..

EDIT: As far as your source code goes... I would like to use it as a basis for creating configs for other apps (like XBMC... and perhaps MXM and others that use XML files)... I could write my own... but I'm way too lazy.. and I like the layout of yours much... If you choose not to release it.. that is a-ok.. I'm just very impressed with the work that you've put into it... it looks and works sharp

scorpianuk,

great job... I love it... you should PM HSdemonz or Xantium and try to get front page exposure with this.... they usually list these on the front page... haven't found any bugs ... great work...

May 24 2004, 04:36 PM

just dowloaded your app and congrats, this is somehting i will use.
Not sure if this is a bug but i found something that i think is fucked up.

- Go to menu and select the "add action command" tab
- select any action command from the pull down menu
- "add" the action command to the menu
- now click on the command u just added in the list?? or hierarchy??
view window. it displays the action command window with the save
change button in focus
- then click on the root menu object in the same view.

The save changes button is now out of focus and
- you cant save the edits you made to the action command
- you cant add any new action commands
- when u click on the "add menu selection" tab it switches focus back to
the add action command tab, unless keep the mouse button depressed
and move the cursor down into its display field.
- when you close the menu and open a new menu from the "file" tool bar
the same problems are encountered in the new menu.

If someone can confirm if this happens to them, i think i have the latest
release, just downloaded it about 10 minutes ago.

great work scorpianuk, keep it going

thank you...

Jun 3 2004, 03:38 AM

I got the newest version right now for the first time. it's awesome. but there is some things I noticed that it doesn't import correctly.
for instance, all my settings are set to NOT autolaunch anything when inserted. the config auto selects the options to be set to yes.

last thing. I have this custom menu in my config .xml...

CODE

<List Text="trainers" Sort="On" Auto="On">
<Item Action="F:\games\halo - combat evolved\trainer.xbe">halo</Item>
<Item Action="F:\games\max payne 2\trainer.xbe">max.payne.2</Item>
<Item Action="F:\games\metal gear solid 2\trainer.xbe">mgs2.substance</Item>
<Item Action="F:\games\metal of honor - frontline\trainer.xbe">metal.of.honor.frontline</Item>
<Item Action="F:\games\ninja gaiden\trainer.xbe">ninja.gaiden</Item>
<Item Action="F:\games\prince of persia - the sands of time\trainer.xbe">prince.of.persia.the.sands.of.time</Item>
<Item Action="F:\games\tmnt\trainer.xbe">t.m.n.t.</Item>
<Item Action="F:\games\kill.switch\trainer.xbe">kill.switch</Item>
</List>

when my config.xml is imported this section doesn't get imported, why?

scorpianuk

Jun 3 2004, 04:13 AM

without seeing you config file cannt say why autolaunch are not imported correctly

as for the menu none is imported at the min maybe in future release

thanks for the report

Hey scorpianuk,

Just wondering if you are currently a beta tester for UnleashX...

To me, it would make sense that you and Hectobleezy (skinner app)
would be beta testers, so you can have the most current release info
and be incorporating it into your awesome apps...

Perhaps, something you and Hectobleezy could console with UnleashX
about...

Just thinking out loud...

It would be nice to have access to the newest builds to test them with my app. UnleashX did send a beta to me, but we never discussed any ongoing access.

I used to be a good vb6 coder, but Ive since moved to vb.net. If scorpianuk ever upgrades UnleashX Tool + to vb.net, I can help...I got some AWESOME ideas.

I did consider using VB.net but decided against it for stabilaty

But ideas are welcome Working on a couple of things for next release .

The only thing im not going to get round to for a while in the help file so if anyone interested contact me on this board or email me

.NET is sooo sloooooow. Seems like it takes forever for programs to start. Runtime is also terrible. I noticed in UXA when you drag elements, you can see the background redrawing. I use a 1.2GHz pentium so it's not the newest computer, but still it shouldn't happen for this kind of applications
Sure VB.NET is sexier, but in my opinion doesn't worth the performance penalty.

Quit hating.

I don't hate it! I just don't use it. Well, at least until they make it faster, or in a couple of years when the computers become fast enough for it.
Actually, I guess in a couple of years they'll have something new that will be even slower that this

.NET is sooo sloooooow. Seems like it takes forever for programs to start. Runtime is also terrible. I noticed in UXA when you drag elements, you can see the background redrawing. I use a 1.2GHz pentium so it's not the newest computer, but still it shouldn't happen for this kind of applications
Sure VB.NET is sexier, but in my opinion doesn't worth the performance penalty.

I'd say you've got other issues going on with your system...

I use a 500 mhz pIII at work and both programs work very well and performance isn't a miss on them...

Perhaps you need to redo your system...
