#### Route Manager 2 Software For PC Users Updated!

What it is - Route Manager 2 is a software application that runs on the left side of your desktop screen. It like a bookmark manager that allows you to create your own routes thru Ur by utilizing the encyclopedia pages or your friends home street pages. Once a route is set up, you click a "Stop" button it will pop out a browser with that page preloaded so you can click the "Set Destination" or "Visit Home street" Button. Click Continue and it collapses the browser out of your way and the next "Stop" on the route button is revealed!
What you can do with it - Create up to 10 routes each containing 20 stops! Each stop you can use the set destination button to cover multiple streets at a time! You can also set up your route to visit 20 different home streets.
Also contains 20 custom favorite buttons to quickly get to your favorite places. I use the favorite buttons to get me to the different resource routes. (Example.. Create a button called "Bean Route", browse to the person where you would like to start on the bean route and click the "Set" button and you now have a quick link to the bean route on your sidebar!
Who Can Use It - PC users running windows vista, windows 7, windows 8 preview. It was designed with large screen resolutions in mind so if you don't have a lot of screen real estate it might not be for you! It may also work with windows xp but has not been tested. Requires .net framework 4.0 installed but if you don't have it the program will help you download and install.
Of Note - By no means am I an expert programmer, I'm an advanced beginner lol, but I have been using my original Route Master Program for quite some time so decided to give a try in making a a version that people could customize to their liking. If you have any questions feel free to ask, I will try to help you out as much as possible.
Where to get it Download Here Just unzip and run the setup.exe file (Sorry about not having a custom desktop Icon)
Screenshots of Side Bar and Setup Screens
Tip: While your current destination point is loading, you can select your next destination point and it will be set by the time you are finished loading.
NEW UPDATED FEATURES:
If you already have Route Manager 2 Installed, just extract the downloaded files into your current RouteManager2 folder and overwrite any files if necessary.
NEW FEATURES:
HELP MODE - New tutorial screens to help you get used to setting up your routes/favorites, etc. (Default is set to on. Turn help mode settings off in settings menu)
New Desktop Icon
New customize button color options in the settings menu
Shorter bar size
New settings to turn on and off some of the preset buttons.
Added a button to "Glitch Market"
No more script errors when setting up your routes and favorites

- Ha a desktop app noob dev colleague finally^^
  Did you see my lil Companion?
  You really should post a few screenshots of the app in use
  Believe me people are harder to convince when it comes to desktop apps for browser games ;)
  (That's why moving into the browser often comes to mind)
  Will check it out tomorrow!

- ha, didn't see last post, screenshots thx
  (hehe, I may have some incoming sidebar project as well, more details later!)

- Hey Lemo, I did try your companion and I just couldn't get it to work for what I was trying to accomplish. I wanted a way to design my own routes by adding a series of stops that I could quickly and easily cycle through. I also wanted to be able to have multiple different routes. I don't know if that was possible with your app but I couldn't figure it out.
  As for it being a desktop app, well that's all I know how to do and I surprised myself at how well it works lol. If people want it, it is here to use. If nobody wants it, that's fine too! I really created it for myself and now don't know what I would do without it!
  Good luck with your projects! can't wait to see what else you come up with!

- Trying it out right now ^^

- Quick reminder to make sure you log in to your glitch account from the pop out browser in order for the set destination and teleport buttons to show up!
  Would love to here any feedback from anyone who gives it a try!
  Thanks

- Hi UrgleBurger, I can't get it to install. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium and I do have the .net framework 4.0 installed. I click on the .exe file and it gives me a verifying application requirements dialogue box. Then a Cannot start application dialogue box. Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong?
  thanks!

- Hi FawnFang,
  I'm not sure but the only other requirement that I can think of is that internet explorer is still installed on your system. The program uses an IE "wrapper" so if you uninstalled IE than that could be a possibility.
  I just did a fresh install to my windows xp system from the link and had no problems. I also uninstalled and re-installed from the link on my vista system and had no problems.
  Also just want to make sure that you clicked on the setup.exe file
  Let me know if this helps any

- Got it working on my computer. :) I'll let you know how it goes!

- I'm looking in to the problem
  When you unzip the file you should have a folder named routemanager2
  inside the routemanager2 folder you should have
  Application Files Folder
  RouteManager2.application
  setup.exe
  Inside the Application Files Folder there should be a folder named RouteManager2_1_0_0_8
  Inside this folder you have the following files
  RouteManager2.application
  RouteManager2.exe.config.deploy
  RouteManager2.exe.deploy
  RouteManager2.exe.manifest
  The zip file must be unzipped (right click and click extract all) and all the files need to be in the routemanager2 folder as shown in order for it to install correctly.
  Double check that all your files are in the right place and get back to me :)
  thanks

- If you are logged in to glitch.com with the application, you click the teleport button or set destination button, whichever you prefer and then click continue.
  Posted 5 months ago by UrgleBurger | Permalink
- Ah, thanks, I had to scroll to see the buttons. :) Now it worked.
  Checking the route creating thingy now.
  Posted 5 months ago by Jaenelle | Permalink
- So, the teleport is supposed to happen when you click that Continue button?
  I logged in from the browser though
  Maybe you should include your routes by default, easier to have quick look & try
  Posted 5 months ago by Lemo | Permalink
- You have to click the teleport button on the page you bookmark or the set destination button depending on what kind of route you set up.then click the continue button to close the browser window. you may have to scroll the web page a bit to see the buttons.
  Example setting up a few stops for a route
  1st stop set to Pental leave by using the encyclopedia search button browse for pental leave and load the page in browser and select the set button next to the first stop
  2nd stop in ancestral lands would be Redhorn road NE use the browser to search for redhorn and you will get a list of all redhorn road pages, select redhorn rd NE and click the set button for the 2nd stop.
  3rd stop browse for tumble rd 3 and when the page is in the browser click to set your 3rd stop
  4th stop browse for redhorn rd NW and set as 4th stop
  Name your route a unique name such as AL Pental or anything and click save
  A button will appear on the main menu with the name you gave it
  Click that button to start the route
  Click on the stop 1 button and select the teleport to on the page that you preset (pental leave encyclopedia page) stop 2 button will appear
  Click on stop 2 button and when the Redhorn road NE page loads select the set destination button and click continue this closes the browser out of your way. Click back in the game window and head to your destination.
  When you reach your destination or when the final stop of your destination is loading, click on the stop 3 button and set destination again and continue, etc
  when you reach the last stop of your route you set up, click the reset button to end the route
  With just these few stops set up you have the teleport to where the route starts and you cover the following streets
  Pental Leave (stop 1) your starting point
  Tumble rd 5
  Bumpkin tr D
  Bumpkin tr C
  Bumpkin tr B
  Redhorn Rd NE (stop 2 destination)
  Rooks way 2
  Rooks way 3
  Rooks way 4
  Tumble rd 3 (stop 3 destination)
  Chester Way 1D
  Chester Way 1C
  Chester Way 1B
  Redhorn Rd NW (stop 4 destination)
  It helps if you look at the maps ahead of time and plan your route. In most cases setting a destination will take you the quickest way from point a to point b
  Add as many stops as you like up to 20 but you don't need to use all of them
  People with lower screen resolutions will have to scroll the browser more often to find the Teleport and set destination buttons. I use 1920 x 1200 and very often the buttons appear right below the continue button to make it easy to set the destination and click continue. This was way easier before they reworked the encyclopedia pages to include snaps because the buttons were always at the top of the page :(
  I did not include my route because I have a couple set up to run Ancestral Lands and if I get behind someone going on all the same exact streets as myself, I wouldn't get any Quoins.
  Using the software and carefully planning my route so I don't have to go down the same street twice has increased the img and currants I get in the AL by quite a bit
  For home street routes it works a little different. Just browse to the pages of the peoples home streets you want to add and click the set button at each page. Make sure you have the page that has the "Go to (insert name here) home street button. (I recently set up a route of home streets that have cubimal stores)
  Hope this helps!

- The download button above has been changed to an updated version that contains a new button in the route settings menu (Setup Sample Spice Route)
  Click On Route Settings
  Click on any Route Button
  Click the button to setup sample route
  Click save
  And a sample spice route button will be added to your bar
  click spice route
  click stop 1
  click teleport button on web page
  click continue
  Click stop 2
  Click set destination button on page
  Click Continue
  when you reach your destination
  Click stop 3
  Click set destination button on page
  Click Continue
  You will get in to the habit of double clicking the stop buttons because you are switching between applications and the first click is actually just selecting the browser bar.
  The sample Route takes you from Great Hole, Thru Ix and back to Great Hole. When you return to great hole click the reset button

- What assurances can you provide there are no trojans / keyloggers?
  Please don't take this personally, I'm sure your an upstanding coder, but these are the internets, and "helper" tools that help themselves to your gold & loot are rampant.

- Only assurance I can provide is my reputation and my word. The files I uploaded are 100% keylogger / trojan / virus free. I understand your concern though. :) I just created something for myself and I get so much use out of it that I thought others might want to give it a try!
  Posted 5 months ago by UrgleBurger | Permalink
- @Sturminator i`: I did a virus-check on the file (this website scans the file with multiple antivirus programs): http://bit.ly/MGVZa2 - Hope this is helpful :)
  Posted 5 months ago by Rutger | Permalink
- Just added some new features to the program. (See OP) including a new help mode!
