WLM GameStatus v0.2
Update: Updated binaries and source code now available from Codeplex!
Okay, I said I’d have a bug fix out yesterday, but I didn’t get to it. On the plus side, it now uses DDE (see below), which is so much more cooler. I haven’t added any other game support, but opening the XML file is easy as usual.
Changes
- Now using DDE instead of MessengerClient API calls. This allows me to set the “Game” you’re playing in WLM, rather than changing your status
This is much cooler because it means it doesn’t have to save your old status – it never overwrites it – and it looks cooler (see image below)
Bug Fixes
- The initial bug I had with WGS not saving configuration file only happened if you had Hellgate:London (Beta) installed. Removed second entry from XML, fixed.
What can I say? It is a minor point release ;)
