aw Nice! oh this brings me back to the days of tf2 modding.... now i can run scripts! hell yeah woohoo!!

I was trying to prevent this from being distributed on file hosting sites, ideally we want people to check back to left4modz site so they can make sure they have updates/etc, since this really hasn't had a whole lot of testing and there's quite a few updates I plan on pushing out. I know everyones just trying to make it easy to get instead of having to sign up to the forum, but it makes it easier for me to make sure everyone's getting the most up to date release since I was lazy and didn't write in an updating service (I had enough people pushing me to release the thing, even when it was buggy and ugly!)

The link to your site is in the program if you didn't want this on any file hosting sites you should have added a log-in feature to your program.

If i went through that trouble, I should've just charged for it. I released it as quick as possible and kept it free, licensing/etc is just an added hassle (especially for something free).

The problem is, i'm about to release an update for it (already!), that fixes a few minor bug issues/lets people mod more than one file at a time/etc. Other than implementing a database somewhere, forcing phoning home/etc, it's hard to let people know if they're all getting things from other places.

Have a rss feed going to your program, that's simple enough.

To begin, it's not my site. Nor do I receive anything if people go there. I get nothing, maybe a thanks but that's about it. The links are there to provide people a resource. If I was interested in advertising, I'd have thrown in some adware and a couple of banners or at the very least licensing to charge for it. Alas, I didn't.

I 'shouldn't' do anything, I made the program because of all the idiots on game-tuts who kept saying they figured it out and just kept lying and bating people. One of the only logical people over there was vv3, and he was smart enough to see clear through everyone's bullshit just as I did. VV3 was probably my largest inspiration for actually making it and going public, and if he'd have been online around the time I was finishing up would've probably been part of the testing if he wanted. Although, I think he took my sarcasm out of context with the skeptic remark, as he doesn't seem quite as friendly as originally. In any event, the new release will be out shortly that has some minor bug fixes and a few other cosmetic changes (editing both cfg's at once, reverting, etc).

And about the RSS, i hate programs that needlessly phone home. It's just an issue of mine, probably from being a Net Admin for a few years, I just don't trust anything that makes an outbound connection unless it needs to, so I typically write the same way.

Anyway, I'm glad it's at least popular and people are getting a use out of it, if there's a bug/suggestion, just shoot me a message. Long live modding without a pricetag!

EDIT: Oh, if anyone gets the new one, the increase in size is because I changed the splash screen, still free/no licensing/no phoning home.

If you'd like this post will be updated with each of your updates and that will solve this issue.

Better?
