Progress Update 3
Testing of the new UCC version is slow, so far no application for BETA TESTERS were received.
If you know anyone that may be able to help with BETA TESTING please point them this way, thank you.
Below is the complete up-to-date list of changes so far:
- Bug Fix: Fixed bug that prevented Records.ini for CIUv2.0.3.9 to be created when the conversion is only 1 disc
- Major Update: UCC is now a Batch/VBScript Hybrid, large parts of the scripts have benn updated to use VBScript codes through Batch commands
- New Feature: Completely NEW VBScript based User Interface, no more CMD Console Outputs
- New Feature: All previously used command line menus & prompts have been replaced with GUI alternatives using free .NET based external tools created by Rob van der Woude (http://www.robvanderwoude.com)
- New Feature: UCC Will now verify that ALL REQUIRED option in Settings.ini file are defined and if any of them isn't defined will display an error message and stop.
- New Feature: ISO Creation now have an error check at the end of the operation, if no errors occur conversion will continue and finish normally but if an error occur an Error message will pop-up notifying the user that ISO creation failed and they need to create ISO files manually.
- INI Changes: Re-built Settings.ini & Data#.ini files from the ground up using a more "Standard" format
- INI Changes: The following options have been renamed: "DefaultTitle" is now "TitleType", "conversionBy" is now "Converter", "compressBy: is now "Compressor", "graphicsBy" is now "Designer", "isCollection" is now "Collection", "isSteam" is now "Steam", "GameTitle" is now "Title"
- INI Changes: The Color1 & Color2 Options have been combined into one option named "Color" which currently remains unused and disabled.
- INI Changes: Section titles now conform to standard INI format: [Section], Comments are now done using backslash "/"
- INI Changes: All ON/OFF options that previously used YES(y)/NO(n) values now uses numerical Boolean values (1=ON/YES, 0=OFF/NO)
- Script Changes: Script for importing INI files have been replaced and upgraded, it now support importing by [Section], Slashes & Backslashes & allows for multiple options with the same name in different Section of INI file
- Feature Changes: ISO Creation is now completely quiet and being performed using PowerISO Command Line Tool instead of ImgBurn.
- Main Compressors Update: FreeArc, 7-Zip & WinRAR all uses their respective GUI version during compression now instead of the Command Line version
I'm also gonna look into creating some kind of a small GUI app to edit the UCC .INI files easily.
Reminder:
