Publishers Description
ASCII GCTB is aimed at creating game cheat NFO files; however, is suited to creating any text file (NFO, DIZ, or TXT) with ease. The program uses multiple inputs, edit boxes, templates, project files, and a coding syntax to allow creating any design needed.
To help make cheat releases faster a button labeled File Data will set many of the input text fields for you automatically, including the MD5 hash. Select the game file (EXE or any format) and it will gather all available data.
Also included is a archive package tool that creates 7z, TAR, or ZIP compressed files. Simply browse and add files to the list, select your settings, and create the archive. Settings include a ZIP comment (with coding syntax), password, compression level, and more. Archives are created using the open source 7-Zip program.
The program comes with a extensive help file, view it inside the program Help tab, and several example project and template files. When the program is first started it will load the Example1 project to help get you started.
The included examples show the different alignment, width, input types, and coding that are available. The Example4 project creates a text resume to show how easy it is to create any text file. The Example6 template demonstrates design freedom. The others show creating a cheat release NFO with the numerous program options.
ASCII GCTB is released as GNU GPL free software, and the source files are included with all downloads.

What's New in Version 1.10 (See full changelog)
- Version 1.10 - First public release 12/12/2011. Documentation was created to instruct others to use this program, and I decided on a license type. By choosing a GNU GPL license this will allow others to modify/build their own tools and programs to fit their needs as well.
- I attempted to keep this program as open ended as possible to allow many uses (such as the Custom Inputs). It has evolved beyond the simple NFO template program, to a great tool that uses forms/templates for nearly any text file need.
- Also includes many fixes, basic error reporting, and some code optimization.
- -=-=-=-=-=-=-
- Version 1.00-Older - No public releases. Program was created as a way to create my own NFO/TXT files for my game trainers and CE Table releases. Much work was made to make it user friendly and stable.
- Additional options for GCTB came as I continued to use it to create my own NFO/TXT files. One major development was the use of my coding syntax to allow for text alignment and much more.
- I thought the program would take 3 days to build; however, as typically the case I under estimated the time and effort that was needed - it took nearly a month of full-time programming to get the program to a truly usable state.
