ugl and gls

The Universal Graphics Library (UGL) is a system by which new graphics sets can be loaded for games. If the games allow then then files can be easily swapped into the folder specified by the GLS configuration file. The idea of this, though immensely simple is to save you time and provide a quick way, without having to remember where the files are stored, where your backup is etc.

Configuration File

1. must be named config.asc and saved in the same folder as the GLS .exe
2. format is in ASCII mode and is as follows....

   "c:\webroot\sc\dnd\dnd101~1","c:\webroot\sc\dnd\dnd101~1\dxpse6~1.lnk","\dndgra~1\","\mygrap~1\","\mygrap~2",
      "\backup\"
   "game path","path to executable or shortcut","\graphics\","\new graph 1\","\more graph\","backup folder"
             

   Note the speech mark and the double \'s in some places ! ! !

3. When installing graphics the GLS copies from \mygraph~1\ or \mygraph~2\ to \dndgra~1\
