Features:
Easy to Add files
With Rocket Launcher 2.0, you can easily add files to the load list. You can directly drag & drop multiple files on any of the list boxes on the Launch Wad tab from your file explorer, you can drag and drop files between each list box internally, and you can associate Rocket Launcher with wad/pk3 files so that double clicking on a wad/pk3 opens Rocket Launcher with the files in the 'files to load box', ready to be loaded into your source port of choice.Easy to save and load configurations
If you're pleased with your particular combination of files to load, engine selection and launch options and wish to quickly recall this configuration for a later time, you can easily do so in the Load / Save Configs tab, where you can save the current configuration to your Favorites list, and with a click of a button, recall all your other saved configurations exactly as they were by selecting any item on the list and clicking "load selected". As before, you can also save configurations to external *.rocket files.DOSBox support
As with the original Rocket Launcher: adding DOSBox as an engine, and the path to your original iD executable, will enable Rocket Launcher 2's DOSBox mode, which will pump in the necessary DOS commands into DOSBox, instantly launching Doom (or any other iD tech 1 engine you provided) along with the options you selected and files added to load. This allows you to quickly launch any pwad with Doom in DOSBOx without having to fiddle around with DOS command line.Note that it is recommended that your path to your original Doom executable and additional pwads contain no directory names longer than 8 characters, as this is the form DOS expects - additionally, the original executable can only load the IWAD contained in its folder, rather than the one you selected.
Extended Engine customization
Rocket Launcher 2.0 also features a new tab allowing you to configure each engine that you added individually, as well as allowing you to add your own 'custom engine', which is particularly useful for when you wish to add multiple beta versions of the same engine.Open doom files with Rocket Launcher 2.0 and let it be your middle man
If you're opening a new wad file, whether from your desktop file explorer or directly from a download, be sure to associate *.wad and *.pk3 files with Rocket Launcher 2.0, so that you can always quickly choose which engine and launch options you want to run the file with, and add any additional files or resources as needed. You can even drag multiple files at once onto Rocket Launcher 2.0 and they will all be ready loaded!
Qt Framework
This allows for this project to be cross platform, including support for Linux and OSX. For windows I provide a static build, which means it's provided as a single executable with no additional DLL's required or frameworks to install.
