So is the deveploment for this app over? I read something about it from a 6 months old thread. Decided not to resurrect the thing. Is Garret Loader going to replace SS2MM? Too bad I kind of liked the fact that SS2 had it's own mod manager.
BTW I took the liberty to draw new icons for the thing. I was bored and on my sick leave anyway so just did the things.
If you are interested:

EDIT2: Finished the improved one. It is without texts "MM" and "MOD" because what ever I tried text just ruined the icon. It only took few hours (with long breaks of course :) ) and few Cloudskipper's Happy Hardcore sets in the background! Now my head aches :P Still some work to do with the 64p.
The 16, 32 and 48 p versions are all in the same file:

It's a nice image, but icons should contain several variations within the file. Different sizes and colour depths. Try and create a cool, stylised 64x64 version. Take a look at the latest Quicktime icon for what I mean by stylised.

I made some changes to the mod manager lately but these just included updating the links and seperating the mods from the manager.
The new icon is nice but changing the icon without updating the program itself would send the wrong signal imo.
As for Garret Loader, I haven't heard from Potterr for some time.

I'm still here...
GL works fine currently for the Missions thenselves, I had problems with the Mods though in keeping more than 1 installed at a time. It is something I am working on for v1.51 as GL does handle other games mods, although again 1 at a time. In v1.41 I did set up the concept of multiple mods in the code but as mentioned didn't get it to work properly so its currently remmed out.

Yeah, I did some larger and smaller versions but the looked crap. Mainly because I did the 32x32 with different editor and for some reason I couldn't get colors working properly with the new one. I still have two sick days left so if Ponterbee Station won't take all my time I'll look into those again.
I'm not really a master doing things pixel by pixel but sometimes I get lucky I suppose :) Kolya, recognize (

Yeah, i was saying about a half year ago that i will try to get my hands on Mod Manager. It's shame but i didn't.
Now i don't even have Delphi installed on my work place :/
[just mumbling]
Due to large amount of work in last 6 months i've nearly abandoned all other projects that i was involved in :(
Hope we'll deploy the project that i'm working on now until New Year and then i will be able to move onto another things, like installing Delphi.[mumbling off]

It would be great if you could do that. :)
