What would you call a Sims3Pack editor?

[Inge]

Well since unpacking sims3packs makes packages with horrible numbers instead of names, why not call the tool 36ed874ae786bd31af74352tool.exe ?

[Madame Mim]

'Qujibo'?

[BastDawn]

Sims Threekshow.

Win!  Seriously, this is the best suggestion yet.

Clearly, BastDawn is a feline of refinement and taste.

36ed874ae786bd31af74352tool.exe is such a long name! Too hard to remember! Too hard to type out! Why not 36edwhatevertool.exe for short? WEH WEH YOUR SOOOO MEEEN BAWWWWW!!!!!1ONE!

IMO Pack Peeper is as suggestive as Jfadetool. Sims Threekshow is the most fitting, since TS3 sims look like freaks.

[nekonoai]

I like Jfadetool.

Or Juicebagtool.

[CharleeRose]

"Sims Threekshow." would be my top choice if it was in the vote.

[Lerf]

You realize that it doesn't matter what you name it now.  Pescado will refer to it as jfadetool anyway.

[Assmitten]

Oh geeze...



I might have to disregard the results of this poll after all.

PROTIP: Don't ask the opinions of this lot, ever, unless you are fishing for lolz.

[jfade]

OK everyone, thanks for the name suggestions. Despite the poll, I'm going to go with 3Viewer. I think it fits the program better as it's not just a pack installer, but a download manager. Progress is going very well.

At this point, however, I'd like to get some artwork from anyone with the Skills of an Artist. I need an icon for the program itself as a transparent PNG. I'd also like an actual image for the Big Shiny Install Button. The BSIB doesn't actually have to say all that (the tooltip will), but it should at least say "Install" on it somewhere. The image would have to be a transparent PNG. There'd need to be different images for the following states:

Standard (What it normally looks like)
Disabled (Can't be clicked)
Pressed (The mouse is clicking it and the mouse button is still being held down)
Rollover (The mouse is hovering over the button)

Hopefully you all can come up with something much better than I can.

ETA: Also, a "DO NOT PRESS THIS BUTTON" image...

Going with a bland, safe, corporate sounding name? For a free niche product?
Where is your edginess?

Wuss.

Lemmiwinks is the new pack peeper.

I do Teh Art. I'd make you something, but I'd be worried that you'd end up choosing some generic clip art in the end anyway 

* lamenting the failure of Pack Peeper, despite its success. Fake democracy is fake.

On a serious note, glad to hear progress is going well. Looking muchly forward to using this tool.

Here is the standard button image. Let me know what you think.

[NameGame]

I threw together some 'install' buttons. If you want them (or a variation on them) let me know.

[ciane]

What do you think of 3D glasses as an image (maybe with plumbob-shaped lenses)?

[Astrocreep]

Here is another rendition as well as all versions necessary. I have all of them larger, transparent, and on separate files. Just let me know if you want them.

[witch]

Oh I do like those buttons! More differentiated than the previous set and very appealing to look at, plus they have a real sims theme.

Hey jfade, I'd be keen to do some testing, are you going to let us know in this thread when it starts, or do you want us to check at your place?

[missaaliyah]

Ooh shiny buttons *clicky*

[kiki]

You also have a "modify" button that means you don't need to double post.

[Astrocreep]

Here is yet another variation, only slight this time. I added an accent around the inside edge of the circle. Once again, I have these transparent, larger, and in separate files. Let me know if you want them.

I do like those. Could you email me the transparent PNGs please? jfade AT djssims DOT com.

Yes, I'll post here when it starts. I anticipate beginning testing on release day. There's one issue I'm having at the moment though, I haven't yet figured out how the Launcher installs presets. It does something goofy with them. Otherwise, everything works great. I'll let you all know more soon.

Yep, I just realized.

And yet, you did it again immediately to respond to me. You need to learn you a book, son.

Whatever. Perhaps, you should learn to relax and don't call me son.

Shut up Kiki, this n00b makes nice shiny buttons, it has the skills of an artist.

LEAVE THE N00B ALOOOONE.
