I have yet to try this program. The only reason i haven't used it yet is that i have limited access to a windows computer. I would however like to congratuate you on your acomplisment because this is the one feature i have been asking for for quite a while.
'Twas thinking about an update for the utility: Would the ability to backup and restore your LJ-Scores.txt scores file, as well as being able to (text) search through it, be handy features?
Yeh, that'd be good. just some features off the top of my head - back's up scores.txt - highscore table - a graph even? showing your scores/vs time, or tpm/vs time? some of this stuff may be things that should be in lockjaw rather than a skin selector, but whatever. It'll just blur the line between the uses of the two.
Thanks for the suggestions - Cool - Sorry, that would be a no-go. Too much work involved (using NeoBook - that is, if it actually could) parsing the LJ-Scores.txt file. I'm not even sure if NeoBook's file I/O and parsing capabilities are advanced enough to do this (although unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that it can't). That's why I was thinking of a simple free-text search sort of a thing (maybe using NeoBook's internal search/find command, or possibly simply loading the file into Windows Notepad and using it to search through the file).
That's cool. I have nil experience with this sort of thing, so I generally have no idea if anything i say is possible to be implemented. just chuckin' ideas around.
Actually, the current format of the log is fine. The limitiation is with NeoBook... advanced parsing of files using NeoBook's various commands is unfortunately beyond it's scope.
Just a preview of the upcoming version -> http://tang.cmoo.com/~snor/weeds/LockJa ... lector.jpg . Have to change a few things here and there for support for the new version of LJ -
Folks, I just released the new version of the utility (v3.0). New features/changes include: - Copying LockJaw's last saved screenshot file to another file. - Copying LockJaw's last saved demo file to another file. - Display any image file on your hard drive. - Print LockJaw's scores file. - Backing up LockJaw's scores file to the another file. - Restoring LockJaw's scores file from the backup. - Compatability with LockJaw version 0.35 changed filename extension for skin files. - Viewing LockJaw's scores file now uses Windows Wordpad so that it can be easily searched through ("CTRL+F" in Wordpad). Check the included readme for upgrade/installation/usage instructions, as well as complete version history. Anyhow, (updated) download links are in my first message post in this thread, hope this proves useful to someone -

Glad ya found it useful - Yep, the ability to load in previously saved LJ game settings is really handy, especially when using the data from the LJ Simulation Settings Guide at the Wiki -
