RMXP Pool 2.5 - Beta 1

RMXP Pool 2.5 - Beta 2

Introduction

It's certainly been a long time, but the first beta for RMXP Pool 2.5 that I showed off back in November 2010 is finally ready for release. For those not familiar with RMXP Pool, it's essentially a database program for RMXP resources that allows you to download resources from an online database without the need to go through forums, broken links or file sharing websites. The program currently supports all types of RMXP resources and allows you to download them to a folder of your choice as well as directly into your projects. In a nutshell, it's similar to Scrive, but completely online and for all types of resources.

New Features
  • Redesigned UI
  • Ability to download to a custom folder
  • Ability to download directly to a project
  • (Somewhat glitchy) search functionality
Screenshots
(Please note that some minor changes to the UI have been made since these screenshots were taken.)

Known Issues
  • There are numerous issues with the search bar, for an example if you type something and then try to erase your text, the previous text won't disappear. Also, searching only seems to work if your term is at the front of whatever you are searching for (i.e if I were searching for "Blizz-ABS", 'blizz' would work but 'abs' would not.)
To-Do List\Ideas for Future Features
  • Iron out glitches
  • Implement ShinyToyGuns' theme from the competition
  • Implement a download queue system similar to that of Formless' releases
  • Add a 'favourites' system
  • Remake the GUI graphics

IMPORTANT:
The .zip file contains two .exe files, one is for the main program (main.exe) and the other is for the splash screen (launch.exe). Please ensure that you run 'loader.exe' or the program will not work.
