//Additional MOH:CL Information:
MOH:CL was designed to work with the GOG, EA Origin, and US/UK CD versions of the game. It is also capable of working with the fan managed Revival version of the game. It may be compatible with other versions/languages, but this is not actively tested or verified.
All EA logos and artwork are the property of EA Games and 2015. This project is distributed freely to allow more people to enjoy the Medal of Honor Series.
Very cool release! Thank you for the share.
So from the screenshot it looks like you click "Apply all settings" first and then choose the game you want to play right?
What language did you build this in?
Also just my opinion on this.. Some users may find it a little difficult to read the white font on the background image.
Maybe if you made the launcher just a little bit longer (vertically) and then have the font on a static background so it's easier to read.
Yes, you click apply all settings and then just choose the game to play, if you make any changes just apply all settings again. It is built in VB.net.
Well from the testers I had requests for background images to be used. I tried not to pick anything extremely hard to read. If I have to I can make them a bit darker in the future to improve readability. I appriciate all input from you guys here and any other fan.
