Happy New Year everyone! A new decade!
Over the holidays I continued to plug away at updating the code to the Last Resort launcher. I can't recall if I previously mentioned reasons why I am updating the code. If I have already please forgive me and skip the next paragraph.
The original launcher code was written in ancient Visual Basic 6. I never upgraded for two main reason: It still worked perfectly fine on modern versions of Windows and I was too lazy to learn the new code changes that were required to upgrade. However since VB6 is so old we were starting to see problems with some anti-virus programs giving false positives on the Launcher's executable. A pain in the ass.
As I get older and have some medical issues I find it harder to spend long hours coding on a project. It is much easier for me to do it in small chunks now but of course that takes much longer.
Don't get me wrong, the usual distractions are still kicking my ass. I am still addicted to Arma 3. Lately I have further distracted by The Outer Worlds, Foxhole, Two Point Hospital and TV shows like The Expanse, Mandalorian, and The Witcher to name a few.
I am still working on this project so don't give up hope of a new release, lol.
PS: I emailed the owner of NeuWon.com to see if he can work on getting the Swat 3 servers back up. I think he has some technical hurdles he has to get over to get the system back up and running but real life is getting in the way.
