Molebox now for 49$ and a new Pro Version
Community Forums/Developer Stations/Molebox now for 49$ and a new Pro Version

| Many have asked for a cheaper version of molebox, as well as for the ability to additionally pack data to a file. The people from Molebox did it, although not both things in the same product. Of course. Molebox has now two versions: The Pro Version with a new feature that allows to add data packages and a new interface for 99$, and a basic version without the additional data packaging and dll embedding support for 49$. It is a cheaper solution for those who don't plan to use external dlls (or at least don't need to pack and protect them). The Pro Version is a free upgrade for all customers of the original Molebox. http://www.molebox.com |

| From what I understand, you *can* embed a DLL in the cheaper version of molebox. What the pro version has more, is the ability to 'organize updates, patches, add-ons and level packs'. Or am I missing something ? Sergio. |

| I bought the pro version not long ago. I was suprised to see a standard version. The thing is I went for the Pro single developer licence because I wanted the extra packing features including dll's. I highly reccomend MoleBox. It also works seamlessly with Visual C++. |

| semar, the newsletter says: "(...) The regular version, MoleBox, without the ability to create additional data packages and embed DLLs, is now available for $49. (...)" . Whatever that means. I guess the "without" is meant for both, but I could be wrong. |
| ||
| You are right jfk, fact is, I haven't the newsletter, so I've just red the website, and I can't see where they say that DLL packaging is only a Pro feature; but perhaps you are right... Sergio. |
| ||
| hmm! I really should read more clearly. Didnt mean to confuse the situation. I thought the pro version allowed packing of dll's while the standard didnt. Well Atleast thats what it said in the email I got from the developer. |
| ||
| They really should note this on the webpage... |
| ||
| This is great news. I think $49 (especially as that is only about £27 for us Brits) is fantastic value. Thanks for pointing this out. Daz. |
| ||
| I wonder if they actually mean that you can have multiple packages (per project) with the PRO one and only one package with the normal one? |
| ||
| I think this post on the Molebox forum shows that DLL packing is not part of the $49 verson. Shame that. http://www.molestudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=68 |

| Molebox/Molebox Pro Version 2.2.0, released 05/17/2004 What's new: - In Pro version added the ability to create several additional data packages. - In Standard version no additional data packages allowed, and no DLLs can be embedded. - Completely remade graphical user interface. - Several more minor fixes. Upgrade policy: All registered users of MoleBox 2.1.xx automatically become users of MoleBox Pro. Cool! (As I have the "old" version...) http://www.molestudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=68 |

| I downloaded my new molebox pro today. I did pay half the price for it also ;) |
| ||
| Daz - however, you still can use it to pack all other files and leave the dlls unpacked. |
| ||
| Rob, thanks for the tip back then - I bought mine half price too... just week before pro version came (which I got "for free")! :) |
