UCL - Universal Content Launcher v1.3 RC4
UCL 1.2 RC4 is here. This is pretty much final, but without translations finished
If you are updating from 1.2 RC1 or less than it is recommended to make clean install
If you are updating from 1.2 RC2 or grater:
-then it is strongly recommended that you ReDetect Steam Content.
-If UCL shows problems at startup than delete the content.xml in the UCL folder and Re-Detect Steam Content.
If you are a C# developer and would like to join the development of UCL, or simply help by fixing bugs in releases, feel free to contact me, I'm gonna give you the chance!
Source code available here
Also, if you use UCL, we would like to know that. Please post anything in this topic. We don't ask for a thank you, but an opinion (no matter good or bad) about UCL would be great. Remember, it's your input that keeps us working for you
As a note, I would like to recommend using playlist files in UCL instead of importing music directly. UCL's speed strongly depends on the amount of content loaded into it and if you load a lot of music into it, you will notice that the loading speeds are longer.

Screenshots:
- - Launches all Steam content
- Launches Audio, Video and Executable content from you hard drive
- Steam games multilingual support
- Optional GCF support for Steam content
- Convenient tray menu to quickly launch the content you need
- Online web information available in the main window, collected from various sources, which contains screenshots, reviews and game information.
- Support for UGL option packs (will require pack renaming for all packs and repacking for showcases)
- Cached Steam Content List (quick loading)
- Skin support
- Drag and drop support
- Command line support (thus shortcut support)
- Auto update
- Multi-language GUI
- - Make sure you have Microsoft .Net 2.0 installed and a NTFS partition to install UCL onto.
- Unpack the UCL package onto your computer. DO NOT UNPACK UCL FILES DIRECTLY INTO YOUR STEAM FOLDER - UCL will create a link to your SteamApps folder whenever it is run so you should *NOT* have an actual SteamApps folder in the same folder as the UCL.EXE. If in doubt unpack UCL to somewhere like C:\UCL
- Run UCL.
-UCL will try automatically to find the steamapps folder from original steam. If not found then the Settings window will open
**** On the Media tab, Select an Audio and Video player for playing media content if you want to use these features. Note that Steam Media is also played through the players selected here.
**** On the Steam tab make sure you select your SteamApps folder by clicking on the "..." button and browsing to it. You can also adjust the Steam User and Language settings accordingly. Make sure the steam user you select complies with the valve steam user naming convention (i.e. no weird characters and spaces etc). If you want to use your old save games from your valve steam account, then simply use that user name in UCL.
**** You can show this window anytime by going on Tools>Settings in the main window
- On the menu again, select Tools and then click on "Refresh Steam Content List"
- All your Steam content should now be visible, you will only need to re-detect Steam content if you add or remove anything in the future.
-Before starting a source game for the first time, right click the game and click install minimum files. This is needed only once. After doing this operation you can play the game at any time
