Hi
first of all: Thank you Fen for the great work. I was one of the persons who avoided all that "fancy new stuff" and played with darkloader till this day. And except for a few very large fms I had no problems, but needed to switch to FMSel to play this ones which was really annoying. I always struggled with the overlay of FMSel and NewDarkloader. Never get used to it. Also I missed some function I had in Darkloader. But your loader really convinced me to switch. :D
I have only one problem, but I'm not sure if its a problem caused by Angelloader. After starting dromed and opening a mission I get the message "Can't find gamesys file." I had to open it manually. But then I get a lot of error messages that textures and models can't got loaded. Has someone an idea what the problem is?

Couldn't think of a name that wasn't taken. :laff: We already had ThiefLoader, DarkLoader, GarrettLoader, and NewDarkLoader. AngelWatch was the only thing that came to mind, and I had to name the project something, so yeah. I was thinking of changing it during development but a couple people said it was fine so I shrugged and kept it. Actually several people kept calling it FenLoader, but honestly that just sounded too self-aggrandizing for my taste. Maybe I should have gone with it anyway. You just don't know sometimes, hm.
Ha ha, faultless:cheeky:
FenLoader rolls off the tongue, but regardless thanks for your hard work.
I'll definitely try it out sometimes this week.:)

So with the 30 character limit what can I do to make it work, since shortening the folder makes it unusable. for example the title TDP20AC_ An_Enigmatic_Treasure_With_A_Recondite_Discovery.

How do you mean? AngelLoader takes care of folder name truncation for you when you install. In fact it generates a truncated name as soon as it finds a new FM archive, and if two truncated names end up the same, it adds a number in parentheses to the end to distinguish them (all this is exactly the same behavior as FMSel)

(
http://fenphoenix.com/apps/AngelLoader/AngelLoader_v1.0.13.zip) v1.0.13 is out.
Changelog:-New languages:
* German (thanks Maitre Malterre)
* Italian (thanks Ramone)
-RichTextBox improvements:
* Mousewheel scrolling now happens in evenly-sized chunks rather than "lines" (where a "line" could be as short as fine print or as tall as an entire image), making scrolling a much more pleasant and predictable experience (fix contributed by
Xanfre)
* Fixed cursor flickering when the mouse is to the left of a non-left-justified line of text (the right-arrow cursor will now appear in that case) (fix found with the help of
Xanfre)
-Size column text is now aligned right
-"Show junk" checkbox has been replaced with a button whose tooltip is more descriptive (
Show FMs marked as "unsupported game or non-FM archive")
-Fixed: when choosing to play an original game and another loader was set up as the FM selector in cam_mod.ini, AngelLoader wouldn't set itself as the loader and therefore the other loader would run in that case, rather than just going straight to running the original game with no loader
-Fixed: when installing an FM, the progress box might close and reopen between tasks, rather than just changing its display data, causing a noticeable flicker effect

I know I shouldn't ask but have you had a chance to look into shock 2 support yet?
