The code to acquire the source code of a web page is a mere six lines, but OK. Yesterday, I was thinking about adding code to search for updates so there would be no need for this, but I am still trying to determine whether that is a good idea or not. It could substantially bulk up the file-size of the program and be a problem one way or another, but being able to alert users of bug fixes and new versions so easily makes it almost seem worth it... thoughts, anyone? I need some more opinions.

You just said it was simply not possible. I don't see anything about it being not possible without a certain piece of information. I am all-for in-depth explanations. Thank you! I do not mind there being a launcher for my applications, though. The user will have to define their locations first, if that will not be a problem.

Thanks, everyone!

Not possible? Pfft. The solution is simple. Open the contents of this URL (http://forums.maco64.com/index.php?showforum=16) as a file handle. Search for the first occurrence of "Current Version" after the first occurrence of "Hylian Toolbox." Save that to a configuration file. If it is different the next time the program runs, alert the user that Version %d is now available. I would suggest searching the topic itself, but that would make the total topic views escalate. I would add the few lines of code needed to make Hylian Toolbox check for updates (it would be only a few lines indeed), but virus detectors may go crazy because it is trying to connect to the web. It may also slow down how long it takes to launch it as well. I wasn't sure. I assumed you would distribute all of the programs in a .zip file along with what you were making. If it asks the user where the application is located the first time they try to launch that application and have it remember where it is, they would only have to locate it once and they could easily launch it any other time.

I have to let you know that I do not approve of the re-release of tools that I have already released (including code that checks for the existence of some tools and says if they are missing and where to download them is a good thing to add, though; people could easily lose the other tools that are included with it). Hylian Toolbox is also undergoing more updates at this very moment, so I would also rather it not be redistributed for that reason. It would be cool if you included code that checks for updates of the programs that it launches, too.

Thanks again, everyone! Being greeted by you is great!

Thanks, Samurai. I'm glad you were thoroughly impressed. LOL. Here is a new replacement for Link: I think I found my favorite topic on this site.

You're welcome, haddockd. Thanks, Shadow Fire! *Whispering into watch.* I have gained their trust...

xdaniel Thanks, X-Daniel! It means a lot coming from a programmer such as yourself! haddockd Actually, I wrote one of those forever ago. SanguinettiMods released it for me. You can find it on his website.EDIT: If his website does not load for you, you can find the tool here: http://www.mediafire.com/?u1wqcblcb1iitv3 I wrote the command line application and he made a GUI for it in Visual Basic. ZethN64 Thanks, Zeth!

Thanks, Jason777. :PThis is not a custom enemy or a custom animation, but it is still custom:

Thanks, everyone! Your support means a lot!

It is so cool to see Hylian Toolbox in use. Thanks for sharing! It is terrible that the actor part of actor replacing has not been figured out yet, though (which limb does damange, for example). Either way, this looks good! Here is a video I uploaded today:

Hello, everyone. I would like to start over. I completely understand if there is any tension (I remember how I was), but I would really like to eliminate it if there is any. Instead of dwelling on the past, let's focus on our common goal: modding. I will try to be active, but it has been a while since I started using forums again (this is only the third one that I will be visiting), let's all keep our fingers crossed.

Welcome to the place, Vexiant. BRB. Hit a vein...
