When we first created CoSMOS we wanted it to be easy for even those without any gamehacking experience to use and it was, but it still had a lot of complexity to it and could be a bit overwhelming for beginners. We added more and more functionality to CoSMOS and determined that we needed a separate app for those that only want the simplest of gamehacking tools.
Welcome CoSMOS | Beginner
This is not a watered down version of CoSMOS, this is a completely new app, written from scratch with a very simple interface, short video tutorials on how to use it and it also functions as a trainer interface for CoSMOS tables and CoSMOS scripts.
You can see screenshots and download this new version here:
LinkCoSMOS | Beginner is completely portable and requires no installation. Just extract the files where you want them and run it. It will create a settings file and use it for subsequent runs. It also won't interfere with the original CoSMOS if you have it installed.
The original CoSMOS is now re-branded as CoSMOS | Advanced. We've made the beginner mode obsolete, leaving the skilled and expert modes untouched. In the next major upgrade of Advanced, we will remove the beginner mode and add even more functionality and an overhaul of the engine. The latest version of CoSMOS | Advanced may also be downloaded from the main CoSMOS page.
For those that like to use CoSMOS tables and/or CoSMOS scripts, you will really like CoSMOS | Beginner as it works with 99% of both CE and CoSMOS scripts and creates a trainer-like interface for the options. Toggle them on and off, edit the numbers, assign hotkeys and much more. So much simpler than any other way, especially for beginners.
We've added some new tutorials for the new version which are also available on the CoSMOS page. We hope you'll give it a try and we welcome feedback. Please note that this is an initial release and so there may be some bugs or unexpected behavior. Just politely list them in this thread and they will be addressed.
