Hey,
I got tired of setting up UQM using command line parameters every time I wanted to change a setting, so I wrote a launcher.
I have put it up on my webserver for anyone who wants to use it.
For those of you that are wary of running unknown exe's off the net, I can assure you that my app will do no damage to your windows installation or your UQM installation.
There are 2 versions.
The first version is 32 Kilobytes, and requires certain Visual Basic libraries to be installed for it to run.
Most systems have these, and so this version should run ok.
If you know you have the libraries, download this version.
http://www.theafterm.ath.cx/uqm/UQM%20Launcher.exe
The second version is 1.1 Megabytes, and has all the required libraries built right into the exe file.
If your not sure that you have the libraries, get this one.
http://www.theafterm.ath.cx/uqm/UQM%20Launcher+Libs.exe
The installation is simple, Just drop the exe right into your UQM directory, and run it.
Here is a screenie for your conveniance
Happy gaming

If anyone is interested in the source they can email or ICQ me.
My ICQ number is in the programs meta-data
If anyone wants to release this as part of a package they can, I dont care what happens to it, as long as my name stays in the meta-data.
I can provide the source for cvs if its wanted, its nothing too complicated.
The program needs the Visual Basic run time library, and the Microsoft common controls library.

You need not worry.
If you are unsure of weather you have the libraries, get the 1.1meg version, thats what its there for.

Fot or not?

Looks like VB 6.0 to me (MSVBVM60.DLL and MSCOMCTL.OCX). If you have these files, you should be able to use the smaller download.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

for all those linux users out there, writing up a shell script should be an easier way of accomplishing the same thing...
not configurable at use-time, but it will take care of the settings you use repeatedly.
Hey - anyone know how uqm responds to contradictory options like "--cscan pc --cscan 3do"?

You want comments:
Ok, it doesn't work
Guess it assumes you have UQM installed in a specific directory and probably on the C: Drive.
Great idea though.

German Nightmare: To answer your question, I honestly dont know what the alternate fonts and colours do.
However the option was there in the manual, so I supported it..

For those of you interested, I have updated the launcher to version 1.03
I only added 2 features,
1, it now gives an error message if it cant find The Ur-Quan Masters, rather than just crashing.
2, it now saves your settings even if you close it.
You can download it from the exact same links supplied at the top.
