MXS Quick Launcher

MXS Quick Launcher

What is this program?
MXS Quick Launcher is a simply launcher with a few options built into it. Instead of having to relaunch the game to change graphics settings or editing the target line for specific options such as erode or hidden-pause, you can just change it all before you start the game itself.

Install instructions
1. Install Python 3 (unless you already have it), which can be downloaded here.
2. Download the zip file and extract it.
3. Run mxsquicklauncher.pyc from anywhere.
4. Locate the mx.exe file you want the program to use first time starting the game via the launcher.

When you run the program, it will create a directory inside your Mx Simulator Personal Folder called "MXS Quick Launcher" that contains a local config file for the program. It might contain more stuff in the future.

Useful information when using the program (please read)
  • A black window will be appearing in the background
  • If you make changes in the game, you need to restart the launcher for the changes to appear (want to fix this)
  • You cannot interact with the launcher when an Mx Simulator instance launcher from the launcher is currently running.
  • Apply changes only applies changes and doesn't start the game. This can be used as first changing settings, then launching from a website. That leaves out the part where you need to open the game to change some settings, only to close it to launch it from the web browser.
  • The launcher assumes your personal folder is at its default location on the C drive.
Latest changes
2022-Nov-29 - Version 1.02:
  • Removed options for render method and use shaders, as they are no longer options in the games menu.
  • The GUI now reads value and applies changes that you've made in the game.
