Sorry for late updates, kinda busy with optimizing my server :)

another minor update for my beta2-3

cruzades - [Share] my ran launcher with dns capability - RaGEZONE Forums


As you can see, there is an added image on the lower right side of the launcher, that is an indicator image wherein it checks your server on an interval of 60seconds whether your server is online or offline.

If will shows 5 different colors:

- all server are up

cruzades - [Share] my ran launcher with dns capability - RaGEZONE Forums
- 1 of your server is down

cruzades - [Share] my ran launcher with dns capability - RaGEZONE Forums
- 2 of your servers are down

cruzades - [Share] my ran launcher with dns capability - RaGEZONE Forums
- 3 of your servers are down

cruzades - [Share] my ran launcher with dns capability - RaGEZONE Forums
- ALL of your servers are down.

Beta2-3 packages comes with a small php script that will be needed to copy inside your subdir's directory/path, please refer to your svr.ini.

e.g.


Code:
subdir=http://ranoffline.no-ip.org/patch
...
...

in this code, you should copy server_online.php script in that path.

about the 5 jpg's, you need to copy it inside your clients directory where the game.exe is located, you can deploy it either to direct send or using the remote patching.

error 53 stands for "File not found" error, you need to have both svr.ini and patch.ini inside your client's directory.

Bye the way, which release you are using?

kindly provide me the exact svr.ini of yours, so that I could test it here by myself.

OK guys, I'm re-coding the source with "Idiot-proof" controls, aside from that, I'm going to implement the incremental patching and auto-resume.

I've tried to copy your posted svr.ini into my patch server, and launch my launcher, yes in deed, ranlauncher is getting problem with YOUR svr.ini, why?

because your URL's are not valid, try to put a LIVE url on those entries.

OK, for your live test, try mine..

my svr.ini
Code:
[option]
title=RanKo 2 Online
start_caption=Start Game
patch_caption=Update Patch
register_caption=Mall/Register
exit_caption=Exit
top_image=http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e289/cruzades/header-2.jpg
downloading=Downloading....
decompressing=Extracting....
done=DONE...
register=http://rankoto.no-ip.org:8080/ran
;
;
;server domain should NOT contain http://
server_domain=rankoto.no-ip.org

[game]
ver=2
subdir=http://www.cruzades.110mb.com/patch
news=http://cruzades.110mb.com/home

[patch]
1=biohazz.txt
2=1Dto7D.txt

and tell me if my launcher will get crazy :)

you forgot to add this line into your svr.ini under [option]

Code:
;domain
;could be your WAN IP or your no-ip DNS.
[color=red]server_domain=<your_WAN_IP>[/color]

that's the reason why you got error if you ticked "DNS Lookup"

asides from that your I don't see any problem with your svr.ini

NOTE: <your_WAN_IP> should be.. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format or yourserver.no-ip.org and alike

sir, here is my live svr.ini

Code:
[option]
title=RanKo 2 Online
start_caption=Start Game
patch_caption=Update Patch
register_caption=Mall/Register
exit_caption=Exit
top_image=http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e289/cruzades/header-2.jpg
downloading=Downloading....
decompressing=Extracting....
done=DONE...
register=http://rankoto.no-ip.org:8080/ran
;

;server domain should NOT contain http://
server_domain=rankoto.no-ip.org

[game]
ver=2
subdir=http://www.cruzades.110mb.com/patch
news=http://cruzades.110mb.com/home

[patch]
1=biohazz.txt
2=1Dto7D.txt

and here is my live patch.ini

Code:
[config]
server_ini=http://www.cruzades.110mb.com/patch
patch_ver=1


you may wondering why my patch file's extension is .txt, right? its a rar file (original filename were biohazz.rar and 1Dto7D.rar, I decided to rename it to .txt file since my patch server is not accepting rar files for upload).

P.S. kindly post here the screenie of the error you are referring to.

thanks

kindly right click the ranlauncher.exe, select properties and check its version, maybe we are using different version.

i'm using ranlauncher.exe compiled version 1.0.0.8
