    Once, i was using TPT and a cool bug got fixed, and i thought to myself "I wish i could switch versions easily!"

    So i decided to do it! So, here

     

     

     

     

    Wow, i abandoned this thing. I added an installer and... stuff. Anyway, lets do this.

     

    Development might be slow, cuz i have school. 

     

    It can look bad, cuz its in alpha

     

    Theres only several versions in here, Cuz its in alpha

     

    Download:

     

    Powder launcher build 1 

     

    Powder launcher build 2 (93.59MB) Password: the powder toy

    TPT Launcher 0.0.1 (50.58MB somehow) No password

    TPT Launcher 0.0.1 Installer (42.03MB)

    So basically you packed all versions of TPT from 28.0 to 43.0, along with a same set of compressed versions, ending up with a huge 81MB file.

    However your launcher provided only 3 options:43.0, 90.2 and 91.1, so what's the sense of putting all the other versions inside?

     

    BTW, you can simply put the three executables in the same folder and launch the one you need, which will be way easier than a batch file launcher.

     

    Sorry for bad English, I'm a non-native speaker.

    This seems incredibly pointless and I wouldn't recommend people use it. It is just a .bat file that launches one of 4 versions out of a massive 80MB list of ancient TPT versions. The bat file itself is safe at least.

    I don't see the use.

    The compressed and uncompressed folders are for doing work easier and there will be more versions

    (im not a developer)

    I had a very old TPT launcher in C# that could launch with proxy options and stuff... even with that a TPT launcher is kind of pointless. Still nice project.

    Thanks! Even though its pointless (its called a circle lol) it still has a purpose.

    If you want to develop this further, I'd suggest a bit more network activity - maybe it could check for updates automatically, or download the last known version over the internet, or even list all known versions and operating systems? :O

    https://boxmein.net/tpt/version-maker/ is something similar, except for pre-packaging TPT.

    I recommend getting all the versions in https://powdertoy.co.uk/Download/Browse.json and then letting the user choose, then that is downloaded to somewhere in %temp% or %appadata%, if it's already there, mark it as such. You should also add support for proxy and letting users choose when ptsave: link is called.
