v1.6.5 recently released! This version adds support for downloading SMBX2 if you don’t have it installed, PLUS I added the default X2 episodes as episodes to select if you’re just using the “Start” feature. Download it now!

[SpencerlyEverly]

Release a hotfix that fixes the 2nd option when installing X2 on a public computer. If you haven't updated, do so now!

[nostreamgia]

Wow, great !
It woukd really help us to load the episodes.

By the way, is Super Mario All stars ++ completed? I would like ti know an update.

[SpencerlyEverly]

v2.0.0 released! Now that SMAS++ is open source, the launcher can now download and update SMAS++!

Though you can't update SMAS++ if you've preinstalled it before... if you still want to update without doing a single .git beforehand, download this:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GS6eZn ... sp=sharing
then hide the folder using Properties, Hidden, Apply, Okay.

You'll probably need the Show hidden files/folders option enabled prior to doing so.

[SpencerlyEverly]

v2.0.1 released! This fixes a world map issue along with some bugs.

You may wanna reinstall SMAS++ if you’re updating it again.

[SpencerlyEverly]

v2.0.5 released! I fixed the Where SMB Attacks booting issue along with some other stuff. Please update asap if you wanna still update SMAS++ with stability!

HANDS OFF!!!! Unless you don't have any important data stored on it!




Because there is an executable bat file called "move_smbx2_extracted.bat".

And when I start this, almost all my files were moved to the downloads folder, right where I unzipped the program. Now I have to move many folders which takes a lot of time.

So and here is the source code of "move_smbx2.ectracted.bat":
cd..
cd..
echo off
for %%a in ("%1\*") do move /y "%%~fa" %2
for /d %%a in ("%1\*") do move /y "%%~fa" %2
exit

It's a good thing that at least my important data wasn't deleted. Because otherwise the user "18SEVERLY" has to buy the "Wondershare Recoverit Data Recovery" for me as a punishment. Believe me, I was terrified when I saw that more than half of the files were suddenly hidden.

So folks! Ditch those weird Allstars Launchers. Super dangerous for your data.

If it really has to be a shift, then you can solve it differently. That he really only moves SMBx folders, but not all the data. Or at least write a warning about it.

So such a dangerous garbage I've never seen. And the admins didn't remove it and people are still enthusiastic here, I'm surprised.

thank you for posting this, i too am surprised nobody's caught on to this yet (maybe not a lot of people have actually downloaded the launcher). the batch files that are included within the download perform almost zero sanity checks for specifically this kind of scenario, not to mention using almost exclusively relative paths is generally a very bad idea. what if someone installs it directly onto a drive?
you can argue that it's the fault of this poster for running the batch file without using the launcher first, but the fact is that not only is this file immediately accessible, it's purpose is also documented nowhere. (and in any case my previous point still stands, always check which files you're trying to move)

i suggest the OP removes the links to the launcher from the thread until these issues are addressed, but just in case i have reported the thread to the forum administrators so that they may investigate.

Okay I forgot that THAT file exists, sorry about that... I need to remove that and REUPDATE to fix this huge bug.

Added in 4 minutes 44 seconds:
v2.1.0 released! This should fix connectivity issues, AND FIX an huge oversight with an batch file that was deleted for security reasons.

PLEASE UPDATE! THIS IS AN IMPORTANT BUG FIX THAT SHOULD BE UPDATED!

I am very sorry for that... I never realized that one file would literally MOVE everything to the main C drive... though I should've checked my code before releasing anything tbh.

I just updated the launcher to fix this issue. You'll have to move folders manually now, since it's been removed. Thanks for reporting this bug, and hopefully nothing like this happens again... it's all my fault, and I wish I was better at noticing this stuff...

Yes, luckily it wasn't that bad.

Luckily, my data wasn't deleted, just moved.

I was just very shocked when I saw why there were suddenly very few folders on my hard drive. Until I noticed that all missing folders were moved to Downloads folder (by "move_smbx2.ectracted.bat"). But if my data had actually been lost through your tool, then it would have been a huge catastrophe for me. Because there are so many important files on my hard drive. There are also many projects that cost me a lot of effort. Also some important video recording.

Of course, there is also software where you can restore deleted files.

But since I need a second hard drive, and unfortunately I don't have a second hard drive with at least as much storage space hat. And since I had to spend money on a new hard drive.

But as I said, fortunately nothing so bad happened. My data was only moved and not deleted.

So luckily everything is fine again.
And so I accept your apology. And please be careful in the future. Because otherwise you may accidentally do more damage with it.

I didn't even wanna delete anyones files. I'm glad you accept it!

But I think to prevent this from happening again, SMASLauncher is probably gonna get obsolete for a better mini updater so that people can still use SMBX2.exe. It's gonna be the SMASUpdater, which will be useful for updating and launching SMBX2.exe on the fly.

I'm gonna release it outside of Demo 2 soon, so be on the lookout for that.

[SpencerlyEverly]

An update has been released (v1.0.5)! This update now fixes updating Where SMB Attacks, along with letting you check if Git downloaded everything to avoid conflicts, and you don't have to launch SMBX2.exe automatically unless you press enter on the updater. Please update to continue keeping the episode stable!

[SpencerlyEverly]

An new update has been released (v1.1.0)! This update now adds menus, capabilities to not launch SMBX2.exe or not after updating, and prevents running if the program is running with Administrator privileges. Please update to continue keeping the episode stable!
