mtalauncher's Issues

Add open directory buttons

Buttons to open the GTA/MTA directory in the default file browser.

• GTA: Open the file:///[~]/Library/Application%20Support/Multi%20Theft%20Auto/GTA folder
• MTA: Open the file://[NSBundle.mainBundle.bundleURL]/wrapper.app/drive_c/Program%20Files/Multi%Theft%Auto/ folder

The execution process

This is the execution process as outlined:

1. Open wrapper.app/Contents/Resources/system.reg and scan the file for a line in the format of "noav-last-asked-time"="%d", replace this line with a line in the format of "noav-last-asked-time="%now+1"

This is required to force the botnet issue to close.

1. Open the app as if it was double clicked ( "open wrapper.app" command line or using some Cocoa method )

First time install process

User downloads ~50mb .DMG file
User presses MTA.app in the DMG file

App detects it is run in the DMG (cannot write to the disk if in a DMG anyway)
Ask user whether we should move MTA.app to the Applications folder (and provide a button to manually let them select the location). Also ask if we should delete the dmg image.

MTA is moved to safe place, the app spawns a fresh new version of itself and also ejects the image. It deletes the image if true.

Unpack wrapper.7z
Set up fonts:

• cd wrapper.app/drive_c/Windows/Fonts
• ln /Library/Fonts/Tahoma\ Bold.ttf tahomabd.ttf
• ln /Library/Fonts/Tahoma.ttf tahoma.ttf
• ln /Library/Fonts/Verdana.ttf verdana.ttf

Set up symbolic links in the user directory of the wrapper to the real user directory
Download mta.7z
Install mta.7z's files
Carry on with normal flow

Benchmark the current WSEngine to the latest WSEngine

The engine in the wrapper is currently WS8Engine1.3.1, an old engine. Apparently this is better because "GTA is an old game". Does the latest engine work with GTA and how fast is it?

Go multi-threaded in MTAPathFinder

The MTAPathFinder.m is not multi-threaded and doesn't make use of the status bar correctly. Updates are only shown after it's all done and the only time it can be seen live is in the Foundation panel class.
