Imho,

We are not talking about some leet hax0r tool or similar. This is an application designed to workaround a *major/critical* bug in game by all definition, which should have been fixed by whoever months ago. Given that this is not the case, I would expect CSRs/owners to no be picky about this interpreting CoC and allow its use at least temporarily.

We don't need to discuss whether a .cfg or whatever file is / isn't part of the distribution. That said, despite having talked to Fandragor myself and knowing he did it in our interest, it goes without saying that it is nontheless an executable file that you download from the internet at your own risk (as little as risk may be in this case). Such a tool could be "verified" or "semi-officialy" distributed to avoid this.

Yours

Re: Rystore - Ryzom launch pad and configuration backup / restore

I, for one, am thrilled about the prospect of never losing my flags again and of never having to reconfigure my UI when I log into the game.

Many thanks, Fandragor, for your work on this!

I know, but considering what the CSRs have been shouting at me every time, you'd be better off asking if it's allowed before distributing it. Even my simple silly server speed monitor for when the server was running slow was wiped off the forum by the evil powerz of the CSRs. Just sharing with you guys what I've been told, anyways, not that it follows my personal opinion on this stuff.

Simple solution: peer review. Open the source and allow everybody to examine what the tool does. If there's any risk involved, someone will find it and point it out.

Just a thought

You can easily decompile CIL executables using the .NET Reflector.

Re: [UNOFFICIAL] Rystore - Ryzom launch pad and configuration backup / restore

Good work Fandragor, tnx!

Just a question: does it work with the /multi switch?

Oh and could you please please pretty please make the save location a user option? I really don't like programs putting stuff in My Documents automatically.
