Version 1.47 of GbxDump is available.

This time it's only a very minor update. Because all Objects are now Items the new Item class (see above) was renamed to ItemModel. In addition, some type names (see above) now depend on whether it concerns Objects or Items.

Version 1.49 of GbxDump is available with some minor improvements in the interpretation of the file format.

In addition I moved from VC++ 4.2 to VC++ 2005 and compiled GbxDump also as 64-bit application.
Note that the x64 version of the app is not able to show thumbnails of the maps in the File Open dialog box (using the 32-bit Explorer file extension of TMUF).

I also added some more Mania Exchange track properties.

There are some little changes of the Gbx file types with Maniaplanet 3.
Therefore, you must update GbxDump to Version 1.51.

· New data field "Has Ghost Blocks" of challenges/maps
· New data fields "Max Header Size" and "Download Url" of maniacredited packs
· New item type "Spot" of items

Version 1.52 of GbxDump is available:

· Now indicates information about packages within packages
· Added some new Mania Exchange map properties
· Fixed a bug caused by code refactoring


Version 1.53 of GbxDump is available:

· Added new Item type "Cannon"
· Separate upgrade code for 64-bit Windows Installer package

Note: Due to a necessary change in the 64-bit version of the setup, GbxDump x64 version 1.52 (or older) can not be updated. Please uninstall it through the Control Panel before running GbxDump64.msi.
The recommended x86 version (GbxDump.msi) can be installed over any previous 32-bit version without problem.

Can you, when you have the information, save the maps from it too?

Nice work. It is very useful.

A nice improvement could be a replay upload directly to MX. I don't know if the MX API makes it possible but it could save a lot of time for replay upload :) .

Keep on the great work :thumbsup:

Symantec/Norton AntiVirus heuristics detects the new 32-bit version of GbxDump no longer as false positive. :thumbsup:
