Why isn't there a button for the setup program? If you are going to consolidate the functions it would seem odd to leave it out.

It's not odd. The "Setup" button never existed there in the first place. You can't just grab it out of thin air, you'd need to change the source code and define "SetupButton" to be able to use it as a widget in the .XML.

Added a pawsSimpleWindow factory.  The purpose of this is to be a base window
widget so that it's possible to create a paws window that completely utilizes
paws scripts and the pub/sub system (ie, no C++ code needed at all).
Added a data file (data/gui/customwidgetslist.xml) that allows users to specify
extra paws widget .xml files to load without needing to recompile the client

I'm guessing that means we(the "users") will be allowed a lot greater leniency with editing xml in the next release and will no longer be stuck just moving things around and even be able to create our own windows.


The updater mod looks great and hopefully with the next release , can be turned into a full PS launcher(setup button and all).

I guess I am the only one that doesn't like the new crystal design. It seems too elongated to me. The old one is a lot more rounded.


Maybe it is just me.

A reasonable explanation. Obviously, I knew nothing of the details of your efforts. Thank you for the answer.

All right, thanks for the compliments and support, everyone, past and present (and bilbous, no problem).

Sounds like the new release will have some goodies for everyone. I'm sure that with the new modding abilities, the "Updater" will eventually be turned into a full featured launch console with the "Setup" ability, if not by me, then by someone else for sure.

I'm going to take a break from modding now. I need to work on some other projects. However, feel free to discuss further or make new topics for your contributions in appropriate forums.

Cya! ;)
