Release Candidate-1
RC1 prior for final release


what's added:

1. Idiot proof control
2. Auto-resume of download (can continue from the last good download)
3. Incremental patching;
e.g.
If one's client is 4 patch versions behind, client must go with its last patch down to the latest.

Re: my ran launcher with dns capability

why is it when I tick the DNS, it keeps saying re-launch the launcher when I try to re-run it?

oopps sorry for that, i forgot to remove my trigger code, i will update the launcher later.

for the meantime, delete "dns" file in your ran directory, so that you could use the launcher in Non-dns mode.

sorry again :(

check your entries both srv.ini and patch.ini.

it should be directed to a valid url path.

e.g.



and take note: leave a copy of your svr.ini into your client's folder (e.g. \program files\ran offline, where your game.exe is located).

@alsyundawy

thanks for that, but with ianz's the number of patch files is controlled by "ver" entry

maybe I missed it on ianz's

would you try to put ver=10 and list just only 1 file on ianz's [patch] list, see how his launcher will react. maybe it is just me who experience it, upon putting ver=1 and list 4 zip files on [patch] list, ianz's launcher will download only 1 zip instead of 4 on my list.

ianz's launcher is great, I gave him credit on mine.
