Tool updates

I’ve released updates to BFBTool, CancerTool, LymeTool, and the M&L Graded Utility. The Preferences dialogs for these tools did not validate the numerical values, so if you used a Max Hits count of “hello”, you would get an uncaught exception. These tools would write their configuration info in their application folder, but now they write their information into the AppData folder. Also, in the past, the Uninstall information did not include the version number or the application icon.

There really are not new features, just bug fixes. The user interface portion was written in C++, but now has been translated in the C#. The main logic was written in C, and remains in C.

Here are the versions of the tools:
BFBTool 1.6.660.0
CancerTool 1.4.660.0
LymeTool 1.3.660.0
M&L Graded 2.9.660.0

The MicroGen Importer has also been upgraded. Before It used .NET 4.5, which meant you couldn’t run it on XP. I’ve downgraded its dependency to .NET 2.0, meaning now it can run on XP, assuming you have .NET 2.0. For the newer platform. .NET 3.5 will contain .NET 2.0. Its version is 1.0.1.0.

The installer for DBEditor was updated to include the version number and the application icon. There are no functionality changes in the application. Unlike the other applications, DBEditor runs on Win 7 and newer. This is because it used the Electron/node.js platform.

Importing Spooky2 Presets and Databases into HeaWea MicroGen

For those of you who want to import your favorite presets into the HeaWea MicroGen, or import your custom databases (say like BFB_Frequencies.csv) into the MicroGen, the MicroGen Importer will make your life easier.

After you download and install MicroGen Installer and run it, you see the following:

Import CSV… will import a Spooky2 custom database into the MicroGen Custom.csv. This may be the Spooky2 Custom.csv or BFB_Frequencies.csv or any other Spooky2 custom database. Clicking this button will bring up and Open Dialog, where you choose the .csv file to be imported.

Import Preset… will import the programs inside a Spooky2 preset into the MicroGen Custom.csv. Clicking this button will bring up an Open Dialog set inside your Spooky2 User folder. After choosing a preset the new frequencies will be in the MicroGen Custom.csv.

Import Terrain imports the Terrain protocol frequencies into the MicroGen Custom.csv.

Import DH imports the DH Experimental Frequencies programs into the MicroGen Custom.csv.

After importing programs or presets into your MicroGen, you will need to choose the Refresh menu command in the Programs menu in the MicroGen software..

MicroGen Importer depends on the .NET Framework version 2.0 (in .NET 3.5), which in installed (but not enabled) by default in most Windows 10 systems. See Installing .NET
