(Thanks for the icon slappey)
I've been meaning to release this application "update" since forever, so, yeah. Here it finally be and here's a summarized description:
1) HDemoLauncher manages a collection of mods for you and decides where to place them based on if they are enabled or not. It's easy to add a mod or a batch of mods. Using HDemoLauncher for managing mods is faasst.
2) HDemoLauncher includes a download manager that allows you to easily download and install any mod from HDM's mod database webpage, with a click of a button.
3) HDemoLauncher provides a way of managing a list of Halo Demo servers. You can see which ones are online and offline, and it has a "leet" server preview which surpasses the existing web based previews. Also, you can like, connect to servers from the app.
4) A lot of nifty things I probably left out. A detailed read me and version change-log is included that is like, uh, detailed. This is, like, the Halo Demo Launcher.
And here's some images. Click to see full size.
(I blurred out IP addresses for obvious reasons. If you want to test this on your own server, you may have to use localhost as the address)
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4 or later, Halo Demo being installed, and try having your original maps be in your maps folder before using the app.From the Read me wrote: Thanks to:
