Hey all. Some of you may have been following my progress on this for a while now. If so, then rejoice, for AngelLoader is ready for beta! And if not, then... go about your day I guess!

http://fenphoenix.com/github/AngelLoader/MainWindow-600_2019-04-02.png

AngelLoader's main claim to fame is that it's a standalone loader, where you can see, play, and manage your entire FM collection from one place (like DarkLoader), with full NewDark support (unlike DarkLoader). It's also got a fast and accurate scanner, so you'll rarely have to enter titles or authors by hand - and it detects NewDark Thief1/Thief2 accurately (also unlike DarkLoader). But enough self-aggrandizing - it's time to get this thing tested.

Anyone is welcome, but I would in particular like to get a few people who meet one or more of the following criteria:
-Own all three games (Thief Gold, Thief 2, Thief: Deadly Shadows)
-Have a reasonable collection of fan mission data from DarkLoader (this one especially), NewDarkLoader, or FMSel, in order to test the import functionality
-Like to organize and manage their FM collection (add and edit metadata, comments, tags, etc)

NOTE: AngelLoader requires either Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, or Windows 10 Anniversary Update or newer (because it uses .NET Framework 4.7.2). If this is enough of a problem then I'll see what I can do, but just letting you know.

If you'd like to test, you'll need to be registered at (http://shalebridgecradle.co.uk/testing/) http://shalebridgecradle.co.uk. I'll add you to the group.

Thank you and let's get this thing ready to rock! :D

Awesome, thanks! I've added you to the group, so you should be able to access the forum. I've never done this before so let me know if you can't access it or anything.
