Woot!
Thanks for pushing this out, John!
Nice to see another game added. Thanks for your work on this, depp.jones!
[EDIT] Top link is misspelled.
[EDIT2] Also, the DisplayVersion number listed in update.ini is incorrect. It is listed as 93.9, but should be 83.9
Both Fixed
Both fixed, thanks. Sorry about that.
YES!!!
This game is awesome. Thanks for this
Whoops!
I hope I can keep up with their update cicles. Feel free to prod me, If I miss one.
-edit-
I'm still not shure if I did the handling of file associations right. They are only created by powder toy, if a user chooses to install (Ctrl + I). I made this setting persist (see PowderToyPortable.ini) but don't know if that interferes with other porgrams. Maybe we should switch to discard them in further releases.
Maybe it's a good idea to check with the devs?
depp.jones, I think it might be a better idea to chat with the TPT devs, either on IRC or elsewhere... They might be able to help you catch up with the updates ^_^
