Instructions:

- Uncompress the folder at .\nQuake (or equivalent nQuake installation folder). After that the path to Launcher.exe should look like: C:\nQuake\Launcher\Launcher.exe

Information:

- When first running the app, it'll create copies of your original nquake.pk3 and textures.pk3.

- Click "Select Client" and point to your ezQuake binary.

- Select ruleset and/or click "Edit command line" to change / add cmdline options.

- When clicking "Customize", app will prepare all files for customization, by extracting them into separate folders. When done, "Select files" button will be available.

- Click select files. The "Select files" window will list all nquake.pk3 and textures.pk3 files. The files will be categorized in standard tabs, but WHEN RUNNING FOR THE FIRST TIME, you can manage these categories and files, by adding, deleting and renaming categories and adding / deleting replacement rules on each category. The Advanced tabe cannot be deleted and rule addition and deletion on this tab will be always possible.

- Use the [...] button to point files to be replaced and replacing files (after first run, when you should have defined your standard files list and categories, you can only choose replacing files on standard categories).

- Close the "Select Files" window and use "File" menu to save your template, if you want to load it next time.

- Click LAUNCH! to make the changes in the pk3 files and open your selected client.

Notes:

- App will always use the original pk3 files (as copied when first running) as the original files.
- If you choose not to use the Launcher again, the file changes will still be there.
- If you want to undo a file change, just delete the replacing file path on the second column (then save your template and/or click LAUNCH!)
- If you want the app to easily locate your custom files when clicking the [...] button, put your custom gfx at .\Launcher\gfx_catalogue.

Please make questions and report bugs (bps, SyncError, dirtbox, Drake, Ch0wW) ?

I'm a bit confused. Will Qcon use this launcher or not?
