Updated. Fixed self extracting zip feature. Also fixed issue that stripe had. Also included logo that Branden made. Thanks for all the support guys!

That problem is fixed, but I now have two other. First, the New Project doesn't work. When I click Okay, nothing happens. Maybe you did this on purpose, I don't know. The second problem is not really a problem, more a little miss. When I was going to try to compress the game into a self extracting ZIP, the program replaced the existing Game.exe(which starts the game), with the self extracting file. There is no problems with it since the exe file still is in the self extractor, but still.

Is the folders name Game by chance? New Project is not yet finished. I've got a nifty idea for that anyways.

Yes it is. I forgot that. But can't you do so that it either saves the compressed file in the parent folder of where the project folder is or so that it takes the title from the INI file and name it after that?

EDIT: The first idea doesn't seem that good when I think about it.

I'll make it save via title. Going to update it now.

EDIT: I had an idea for new projects. Templates. When creating a new project there will be a list of templates that you can choose from. You can also make your own templates from projects. After this is done I'm going to work on the FTP part.

Downloads.....Runs.....Loves it!

One small suggestion, and it is really just me nittpicking: The buttons like: "New Project", "Open Project", "Run Project", and "Explore Project".  I think they would look a little neater if it was simply "New", "Open", "Run", and "Explore". Same with the "directories".

Great job, though! * Levels-Up *

Suggestion taken. Changed text. New Projects is almost done too. The templates thing in my opinion will be awesome. Being able to create a Blizz-ABS project just from the click of a button. The program will come with two pre-installed templates. Blank for XP and Blank for VX. You will be able to create templates from one of your projects.

OMG, that template idea will be awesome! It'll also help script makers, as they can provide a demo as well as a blank project template for use with your Project Manager!

Alright the New projects button is done. Templates are fully functional. Well except the "Create your own template" part. Still working on that. I am not going to update the download until it is. However I had another idea I wanted to run by you guys, this is a major contradiction.

When you go to compress a non encrypted archive, it compresses the entire folder. Which is good. Now when you go to compress an encrypted archive, it only packs whats needed. Audio, Game.exe, Game.ini, Game.rgssad. Bad. What if you had other files or folders you needed. So I'm going to recreate the Encrypted Archive form to make it so you can select which folders and files get added when getting compressed into the zip. Do not get this confused with being able to choose what folders and files to pack into the encrypted archive. This only adds it to the zip when encrypting your game in case you have a saves folder or something along those lines.

That'd be nice. I have a few PSD and resource folders in most of my projects. It's a pain to move them out and back in during encryptions. And glad it's almost finished ^.^

The create template is done. I improved a lot of my code. However the new encrypted archive form hasn't been started yet so I probably won't have an updated until thats done.

I also noticed that the magic key isn't working. The encrypted archive gets corrupted when theres another key other then DEADCAFE.

Are you creating a new key for Game.exe and RGS102E? Both have to match for a key change to work.

The download may (or may not) be down in the upcoming days. Branden's pretty mad at me and I yet have to figure out why so I'm going to setup a new mediafire account in a couple of days and upload the new update then. It won't have the new encrypted archive form done but it'll have New Projects, Templates and whatnot.

Nevermind, the air has been cleared a lot so whatever. Anyways expect the hot and new update today so :P
