Theater Changer utility
-
http://www.bms4.com/share/theater_changer_1.0.2.1.zip
Allows theaters to be changed outside of the BMS 4.32 UI.
Update 1 - to fix theater.lst issue, added start LAUNCHER.EXE on change/exit.
Update 3 - fixes bugs, and more allowance for ‘dirty’ theater.lst files. Hoping this will be the final changer only version.Thanks to all who have reported errors to date - your help (and patience) has been invaluable!

awesome. ive yet to get any of the additional theaters, but am planning on it this weekend. this will come in handy after.

Hi Malc,
I’m getting an error message when I try to run the program:
THEATER.LST has file not found.
Check file is present in the directory:
C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\data\terrdata\theaterdefinition\I checked and the theater.lst file is in the correct location.

Yes, Win7 Home, 64-bit.
Let me have another look and I’ll get back to you on it… Apologies in the meantime!

Very nice Malc. I recommenced to add an option to launch BMS from the utility.
By the way for me it is OK with W7 64 bit.Did you make it in preparation for Kuwait release?

I like that idea, and will do so! (in more ways that one! )
Thanks for the feedback

I like that idea, too.
And while you’re at it, would it be much work to add an option to choose differently BMS installs?
So it would become a install switcher as well, similar to that old “MultiFalcon” tool, where the differently
installs are written into a *.ini. (looks like this)ins.ini
[FreeFalcon 3 F4-BMS] DIRECTORIO=C:\MicroP\Falcon4 EJECUTABLE=C:\MicroP\Falcon4\F4-BMS.exe CONFIGURAR=C:\MicroP\Falcon4\FF3-BMS Config Editor.exe PARAMETROS= COMENTARIO=Tous les Theaters installés sauf Israël [Falcon4 OCI] DIRECTORIO=C:\MicroP2\Falcon4 EJECUTABLE=C:\MicroP2\Falcon4\F4-BMS.exe CONFIGURAR=C:\MicroP2\Falcon4\F4-BMS config editor.exe PARAMETROS= COMENTARIO=SP4 + BMS 2.03
it was also able to copy the logbook
Now I’ve found the readme of Multifalcon

Same error with my XP install.

Run as admin could solve, maybe.
-
tried it also as xp sp3 compatibility mode, but nope same error
-
Opening post edited. I’ll have a look at multiple installs later, once I get this fix and start launcher bit done.
-
1.0.1 released with improved THEATER.LST processing, and also option to start LAUNCHER.EXE on change/exit.
