Well I finished my utility finally
Here it is in all it's glory.
3 formats for you in case you prefer one or dont have one.
[here] The Screen.jpg is a screenshot so you can see it in action.
Alas I do not have Space Empires 4 so I am unable to test it but it should work in theory
Any bug reports please send them direct to me

One thing I'd like to say is that this was in no way meant to annoy the wonderful creator of the batch file utility.
I personally just think that a graphical interface is better when it can be used.

And I forgot to mention, instructions are enclosed in the compressed files.

No problem
I tried to theme it along the SE4 lines.
As I have had no bug reports yet I'm assuming that no-one has tried to launch the game without selecting a mod
not so much of a bug really as just an aesthetic this (throws an error message up with no crash)

If there are any bugs or feature requests then just let me know

yes, this indeed rocks. perhaps the selection could default to the normal game to avoid that index out of bounds message, and to provide single click access to playing the normal game. also, when you exit the program it leaves the path.txt pointed to the Last mod used, it would be handy if it defaulted back to the normal path upon exit, incase someone should launch the program from the EXE after using this utility.

all in all, this is superb.

Ok
As soon as I wake up again I'll make a V1.2 with the changes you have suggested.
Thanks for the feedback
