Title says all. I plan on recreating it and selling it for hundreds of dollars in order to make myself rich, so any help is appreciated.

It's a mixture of French, German and Portugese.

Hmm. That's quite complicated, I have heard of no such language, could it be something central european like Romanian or Czech? Or is it really vulgar latin?

And how can you program in non-programming languages, that's another mistery as well.

There are now more questions than answers. Hopefully someone can bring insight into this madness.

No idea what it was written in, don't think we have the source code for it either. Anyhow, if you can program at all you can easily program a suitable replacement for it. Heck, world+dog has done at least one mod launcher these days.

Does it work on Mac or Linux? Never tried. It looks like a .net windows form application.

Well, not me. I can't handle XML on my programs, only databases (I know, how can I call myself a programmer?).

But why would you absolutely positively got to use that XML instead of some suitable replacement format? I mean the act of reading in some XML is not terribly exciting nor useful, so I don't see if why you cannot devise an alternative when XML seems "too difficult to work with" to you?

well, if I had to guess, it might be C++ or similar language? that's based on the manual cascading sheet document that comes with the trivial script.

It's just a hunch though: it's been ages since I looked at computer languages (or wrote anything).
