[Utility] SORmaker Window Customizer v0.2a

Greetings, my fellow SoRR Community members.

I have programmed a utility that lets you transfer certain files to the sormaker folder in your copy of Streets of Rage Remake to customize your SORMaker workspace when creating your mods. The files contained within are a set of novelty sound effects for the menus and colorful background themes for the editor itself to make your modding experience more interesting.

You may download my latest utility from this link: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AuSM15YFVhx8ghZw_kfF5H5HiRT0

NOTE 1: Due to the programming structure of my utility, this utility is restricted to Microsoft Windows users only.
NOTE 2: Although the actual program is named SETUP.CMD, do not act suspicious and I suggest you should try it.

Giving it a spin while I'm writing this. Might try something custom on my own.

EDIT: it does look good. I'm gonna do one skin based on BKM




EDIT 2: Hey, guess my BKM Stage 1 skin looks good and doesn't look as intrusive. Yay.

So, went ahead and wanted to add a trim based on the neon signs from stage 1... and I guess they look great and no obtrusive at all while keeping the SOR vibe on.

If you guys are interested, I can upload the skin for you.

yes pls upload it!!

ill have to this a try

A thousand thanks for witnessing my work, dudes, especially to you, Rain and Don Vecta!

I spent all week debugging and re-writing the code, so I have added a confirmation request, which makes users think again before copying their selected themes or other files.  I also updated the ReadMe file, so it has more detailed instructions.

Also on the new update, I have added custom fonts for use on the mod selector menus and I have even named them (if you open the corresponding FPG files on some of them using FPG Edit and displaying the Details view, you will see a hidden credit on the first picture).  Not only those, I have added more themes and sound effects for making SoRMaker feel more unique.  I have also included my special versions of LISTA_SORMAKER.FPG and SORMAKER.FPG, so that the mod selector screen contains a welcome message, improved labels and a better save warning dialog.  As a bonus, I have added my modified LIBFONT.DLL file, which contains a different font that I made myself.

If you, or anyone else has not unlocked SoRMaker, they will also see a message, which I wrote in picture 5 of my SORMAKER.FPG file (I witnessed Bomberlink's original image and found out it was too small, thus creating an extremely wide gap between the image and, of course, the SoRMaker window).  When I designed the labels for the background layers, I had it based on a font from an educational game called Thomas & Friends: Engines Working Together for my V.Smile (yes, it does exist, try Googling it, or to make it easier, follow the link on said title).

About the custom theme I designed: That was from a Disney film called Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure, which would inspire me to promote one of my mods I am designing, namely The Diabolical World of Disney.  You will find the information about it on the Previews page of my program.

In addition to the changes to the utility, I have also updated the preview texts about my upcoming mods, which you and other forum members should look forward to in the future.

Next time you download this update, you should erase your present one before installing the new version (the link is on the first message I have posted).  Also make sure to persuade other forum members to perform the same.  Thank you for commenting.
