I just noticed that Famulus has indeed been added back to the top page. I am mildly, yet pleasantly, confused by this... :shock:

Maybe it's 5 days instead of 7. Then it would make sense.

I think it must be seven days, but seven days from the last time it was sent to the top of the queue rather than seven days from last update. This would seem to fit this situation, as well as make more sense objectively.

Now at version 1.00.3b. I have updated the database.

Version 1.00.2b had over 600 downloads before I replaced it! :shock:

Just a tiny tidbit:

The ZIP file comes prebundled with settings.ini and commands.dat. If you're already using Famulus, just overwrite the .exe and readme.txt to preserve your custom commands and settings.

Thank you for that freakazoid. Would you be kind enough to add that to the program comments?

Question: should I remove the default .ini and .dat files from the next release? I only include the .dat file for demonstration, and the .ini file is not necessary as Famulus will still use the default settings if the .ini is missing.

IMHO, without any doubt. Currently there is a high probability of overwrite the configuration files with the default ones, and sooner or later you will be requested to modify the downloadable package.
My suggestion is simple. When launched, if Famulus does not detect the ini file and/or the dat file in its folder, it will create both or the necessary one automatically. Otherwise it will use the existing ones.

Thanks lautrepay. I have a few other tweaks I want to do, so I will probably have a new version in a few days.

I just released version 1.00.4b. Just miner adjustments. I have updated the database.

And I stumbled on this the other day:

Also, I'd like to request the ability to set the font size of the dialog prompt.
I'm using Famulus in the center position and would like it preferably a little larger.

Hey dmg,

Any updates on this? And Happy Holidays! (If you don't see this message before January, then Happy New Year!

)

Greetings freakazoid!

Sorry, I have not been doing much active scripting this past year. I still think being able to adjust the prompt size is a good idea, I just have not been working on it. I also know of at least one significant error in the Famulus source code I need to fix. I will get back to actively developing soon, I promise.

And happy holidays to everyone here at TPFC!
